This situation is going to put our supervisor of elections, Jerry Holland, in a bit of a spot since they have space in this mall.

The JEA apparently is going to give someone a raise even if they can't get their pay raise bills through the city council and this group doesn't have to be approved by city council.  I do see at least one really good thing in the proposed contract though as they are moving folks with less time onto a defined benefit retirement plan.  This is a truly poor time for the public sector to be handing out raises to anyone since they earn more than the private sector workers that pay…

My first thought when I saw this was that Obama was not happy about super PACS, but when the republicans had them, he realized from a money perspective he would have to use PACS too.  Then, he announced to the country, he was accepting help from super pacs that supported him (his take was under 100,000..............not too good considering republicans are getting millions in support).  So now, since the democrats aren't getting millions, perhaps this is an attempt to make sure…

Gas at $6.00 a gallon is very likely by summer and to at least $4.00 by spring, and according to this article, current conditions do not support such an increase normally.  Very likely, the president will do nothing or have nothing he can or is willing to do to stop it, because of other conditions that are causing speculation..................and yes, rejecting the keystone pipeline was not a good move.

Oil is…

Interesting interview, and the video and article are well worth the read and watch time.  Mr. Graham did a nice job avoiding answering the questions provided!  They are so smug when he talks about Santorum, and try to compare Santorum and Obama...............no comparison from my angle, but the interview is horrid for putting Mr. Graham on the spot for choosing a political position in a way.  Your opinion?

Awkward and uncomfortable interviews aren’t…

Voucher programs put children in private schools where they might actually get a quality education, and Obama can't stand the thought I don't think.  He wants everyone only taught what he wants them taught and wants absolute control over everyone's child, so they can be pumped full of the socialist propaganda.  I think he truly fears home schoolers and private schools.............

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Valentine’s Day came early last…

Another dynamite commentary by Mychal Massie, and I think most of us would agree with his take!

It would be easy to go on again and describe the president as a rich-hating, race-baiting, tax-raising, corporate hazing, foreign-leaning, forever preening, Windy City Gas-Man, Ken-yan, divisive, abrogating, derisive, abdicating, wealth-stealing, welfare-dealing rebel without a clue. To avoid that temptation is…

Imagine that?   About time I would think, since public sector workers have been exempt from any of the pain associated with horrid economic conditions.  Perhaps by doing this, we can attack the problem of public workers earning far more than their private sector equals.

By JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press…

Larry Hannan, a reporter for the Times Union, has done a wonderful job of investigating the JTA, and highly recommend you read his article. I think what upset me the most, is that now Mr. Hannan has made all this information public, Mr. Blaylock, who earns an unbelievable $273,000 annual pay, has now decided to do his job, but in the mean time, he has fired several people who work for him. From where I sit, Mr. Blaylock was not doing his job even in a small way and should be…

Hope everyone will do as Bill Gulliford suggests and write to your representatives about the Mayport Ferry.  My personal position is that this really is a fight worth having as the Mayport Ferry is part of the culture and history of Mayport and should be saved.  If you feel the same way, please write to your elected officials and let them know.

Supporters seek more people to get involved to save service…

This is supposedly the video of the 5 minutes that got the judge fired. After watching it, think about the republican party trying to choose another establishment person to come in if Romney, their only choice for the job, does not win. If that happens, wouldn't the judge be right in what he said...................no wonder folks would not like what the judge said, would they. The truth perhaps! What do you think..........and it does require…

Obama doesn't appear to be quite as welcome in Orange County as he might have been in 2007 and 08?  That's just may take though.

CORONA DEL MAR- Hundreds of protesters lined Pacific Coast Highway Thursday morning to greet President Barack Obama who was visiting Newport Beach for a campaign fundraiser. Most of the attendees awaited the arrival of the president in protest though a number of pro-Obama…

So, we had about a half a month when the unemployment dropped to 8.3% after subtracting 1.3 million people who had not looked for work in the previous 4 weeks prior to the report, and now it is up to 9% again and according to other articles is expected to go to 10% by late spring/early summer.

"We are all Catholics now" is a movement started by Glenn Beck, and the details are as follows with recommendations about actions to take (either by phone or Email to your senators and representatives).

There is a raising awareness on the persecution of Catholics, at this time, by the Obama administration, and a mandate which would force Catholic organizations to pay for birth control, the morning after pill and the like which based on the teaching…

More news about one of the "great" people the Obama administration chose to run a very large federal department that wields an unbelievable amount of power.  This is absolutely sick and disgusting.

No charges will be filed in connection with a national scandal involving the destruction of Planned Parenthood records during HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’ time…

This is what is happening everywhere these days, and in some places it is worse than others.  It is worrisome for the taxpayers in Duval county however, since it would appear tax revenues will not meet the bills (including the give away programs and those programs the city should not even be involved in...........hmmmmm).

Spending is less than projected, but so are property tax revenues.

This is an ongoing issue that we have been watching for the last 3 days and Mr. Hannan's expose' will be in the Sunday Times Union for those who want more details.   If you will go to the link for the article, there is also a video there done by Mr. Hannan.

Where my concern lies is that these folks basically broke the law and didn't tell the employer they were doing so which left us liable for any one who got hurt, killed or any accident of any…

A little humor is never harmful, so I thought I would share this Email I received this morning from one of the very nice Arlington Group members.   Enjoy!!…

An update on the JTA investigation by Times Union reporter Larry Hannan.  We owe him and the Times Union a big thank you for taking it upon themselves to do what we expect our media to do............investigate where they feel a problem might exist, and then, shine a light on problems and make the information available to the public.  Mr. Hannan has done a wonderful service to the public.  Please note the results of the investigation will be published in the Sunday paper, so you…

We can hope and pray that Harry Reid's worst fears come true and his party loses the majority in the senate!
