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).

Beach access advocates plan on complaining en masse today at a Jacksonville City Council committee about limited hours at two ocean side parks.

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.

The Heartland Institute is a 28 year old, not for profit, think tank that promotes free market solutions.   The institute has offices in both Chicago, Illinois and Washington, DC, but Mr. Taylor, a senior fellow at Heartland, is a resident of Florida.  The below is his finding on Bill HB 7117.  A great deal of thought will have to take place before re-electing many of those involved in the passage of this bill which will increase our already high utitility…

It's going to hard to blame this one on the republicans, but given this administration's propensity to blame all that happens on others and mostly republicans, I am sure they will try anyway!  I would guess some of the folks, of Mr. Obama party, are thinking about re-election just now or maybe are even bright enough to understand this tax increase would have hurt the economy by taking money away from small business owners.  Personally, I understand, not one dime of this proposed…

Lobbys and lobbyists are prominent in the Obama administration and have clout.  Another promise broken and certainly not changing the environment in Washington as promised heah?  A quote in the article says it all as lobbyists feel it an insult they might be limited "The administration, it said, appears to view lobbyists as predators and federal employees as “weak, unprincipled victims.”  After the recent GSA boon doggle, I would say the quote is about right as far as federal…

I thought you might be interested in the response some of us got from the Governor's office on HB 7117.  Although he did not sign it, he also did not veto the bill, and it automatically became law and will go into effect on July 1, 2012.  It is a horrid bill, and we might want to remember this when we vote in the primaries in August and the General Elections in November.  This bill was touted as a job creator, but the policies are the same as Obama's and we all know how many jobs…

Yet another issue Mr. Obummer and his administration seem to be on the opposite side from the American people!  The poll findings should not come as a surprise though as many articles out there on this issue and most indicate the people do not consider requiring a voter id discriminatory.

I am pleased to see that people, like you and me, are being asked for recommendations, and people's names have been submitted for consideration.  Some of the names are for folks who are already involved in other school systems around the state that have appealing programs.

Administrators are already being mentioned for the superintendent…

I can't remember in my life time any administration that refused to uphold the law or charge people when obvious crimes were committed.  What point is there in having laws if the president and the folks appointed to uphold the law and the constitution thumb their noses at the law when it comes to their friends?  As we are finding, the folks in Washington seem to think they have a separate set of laws that cover them while they pass laws that are enforced against the group that is…

I am hoping everyone may find this as absurd as I find it.  Mr. Obama has recommended that Mr. Romney release his previous tax returns in an effort to be as transparent as possible............this from a person who has spent huge sums of money to hide every single thing about himself including:  

Something else the mayor wants total charge of..............I guess if you keep trying sooner or later, you gain control over quite a bit, but I am not sure that's such a good idea.  I am concerned about who will be chosen to run this and for how much to be quite truthful and how much more money they will want to flush through the downtown...........especially since it is our money they are doing the flushing with.  Your opinion?…

You certainly have to give Obama credit.  When he tells a whopper, it really is one and this one is actually more than one.  First of all, Reagan closed loop holes and then, he LOWERED taxes for everyone.  The reason the IRS got more money is that companies did well and paid more taxes for that reason.  Secondly, he claims, then, they will pay as much as middle class Americans (and many of them pay no taxes at all or those taxes they do pay in are returned to them).   Shame,…

Rear end collision increased, because people stop short when they light goes yellow or red instead of doing what is safe and going through the intersection.  They know the camera lights are there and afaid they will get a pocket full of tickets, so instead we have tons of accidents and people hurt...............what an improvement huh?  But heah I guess we can look forward to cameras in our bedrooms before this is all done with and these snoopy money grubbing elected officials stop spending…
