This is amazing, and ruins our health care system to boot.  There is a huge amount of information on Heritage about the costs of health care and all the new taxes and penalties.  As pointed out in the article, these are only 10 of the 18 new taxes which will take place between 2010 and 2019.  Follow the link at the bottom of the article for more information.…

This is an ongoing saga, and never ending.  Yet another "green" boon doggle with tax payer money for jobs in, of all places, Finland.  That will do all those unemployed Americans a lot of good now, won't it.

And we are all in this mess.  Monsanto is putting genetically modified foods in the markets for us to buy and NOT labeling them for what they are.  Vermont and some other states want to force labeling that is accurate so they know what they are buying, and our federal government will probably support Monsanto if they sue the state for passing a bill requiring labeling.  This is horrendous, and Monsanto has too long run rough shawed over Americans (while other countries won't even…

4-17-12  There is a section on this website where all the groups are listed along with the number of members in each group.  For this group the number is 35.  It was disheartening tonight to have a new member come to the meeting and find only 4 other people in attendance!  He stayed but will he be back?  Will he bring along a friend or neighbor?  Why were there so few people?  Are people bored with the meetings?

  The meetings are not for the purpose of entertainment!  The group…

This is absolutely terrific and a big thank you to Congressman McClintock for taking this on!

Congressman McClintock delivered the following remarks today on the House floor:

You know what?  I am so sick of this foolishness of comparing oneself with others in an effort to make it look like you are doing someone a favor when you raise their taxes, because they really are getting a "good deal".  What world do these lunatics come from anyway?  If you raise my taxes, I take it personally, and I don't care what someone in another town pays.................I am focused on what I am being fleeced for given some of the foolishness these elected…

This is a response to an article from earlier this week about the parks closing earlier than usual at this time of year.  The situation has been resolved.

Recommend you read this as it will give you chills.  This is a program that apparently has not been run properly from the start and didn't even have "a proper curriculum".  More money flushed without even a plan or accountability apparently.  Getting a new leader is only a solution if what is wrong to start with is fixed too!

I am not sure how to feel about this as these incentives have replaced property tax breaks and other incentives that used to be used............somehow, I never really thought about using incentives all that much until we began to see the actual price tag in tax dollars coming out of our pockets.  And now, it is major.  You thoughts?

Several very interesting explanations about what happened are included in the comments on this article, and you may wish to read them. Several folks who actually have expertise in this area have made some very good explanations. I personally have some concern that this may be a reoccurring happening as more testing is done and doesn't speak well for the quality of the work.............but maybe not.…

Here we go again.  More layoffs for another "green" energy company.  And we face 3.1 Billion in government guaranteed loans from 2011.

And more from Washington, DC, the regulation capital of the world. We can all thank all those elected officials in Washington who approved this behemoth bill that will cripple the banking industry and cause a loss of jobs...................................  The bill will take more man hours to comply with than the hours required to build the Panama Canal, but since we have a president who has never really had a real job and a whole group of democratic politicians who have never…

Folks are not liking the park closing 2 hours earlier than it used to (due to budget constraints largely).

Glad to see the Times Union making this a daily update to let everyone know what is going on with the choice of a new Duval School Superintendent.   The school board is involving all stake holders in this process which could result in a choice that meets with everyone's approval.

This appears to be more about the current law suit where some folks had to sign up for social security than anything else, but you judge.
