I am hard pressed to understand why the city subsidizes many of the other things they do when we can't even cover city services with tax dollars and expect people to pay extra for the primary function of city government.  This is nothing more than our local government picking winners and losers just like the federal government does with our tax dollars (and none to carefully either I might add).  If you leave it alone, the people will chose those entities they wish to have…

Nice to know Michelle Obama is pumping money into the economy..........but it isn't the US economy which seems to run in the Obama family.

This is quite interesting for those of you following who is where on the polls.  The Email popped into my box right after I posted the Times Union article about this same subject, and they appear to be at divergent ends of the spectrum.  In any case, the majority of people are splitting their votes among the conservatives which may still give Romney the win..............but may not.  This will require careful watching!

This would be well worth keeping an eye on.

Second try on ethics reform not given much chance of passage

New regulations are having the impact on us locally as this article in the Times Union indicates, and now they are trying to change the rules right in the middle of things after some of these folks have invested money.  This is exactly what might be expected of folks who have never run a business or had a job anywhere.  They think you can do something like this, and people who own and run businesses will just take a hit and come back for more.

 …

Interesting as conservatives are in the lead when you combine the 3 conservative candidates polling numbers, they are 1 point higher than Romney's polling number on at least one poll, but because the vote is split, we will end up with the establishment pick, and we can all hold our noses when November rolls around!  Let's hope Mr. Romney isn't pulling an Obama on us and lying about where he stands on the issues to get elected.

 …

And you thought Obama wasn't encouraging job creation?  He is.  Just not in the United States.  He can be very helpful to other countries and pump our money into their countries to help encourage job creation, but then, he denies approval on the pipeline here when it would have created many, many jobs and had a spin off effect as well.

The Boonedoggle bill was introduced in the House last April and quickly gained 186 co-sponsors, including around 80 Republicans. A number of free market and conservative groups sent a joint letter to Congress opposing the bill, which has convinced 19 Republicans to withdraw as co-sponsors. This means that the Pickens Payoff Plan has very little chance of passing the House as a sepa...rate bill. However, President Obama’s…

The title of this article kind of says it all.  And Obama keeps saying how great the economy is and how he has built it to last.  Last until when, we declare bankrupcy as a country and end up like Greece as he continues to spend money we don't have???

Business Insider

An interesting topic.  Glad the Times Union had someone uncover the information for us.

Thank you Curtis for bringing this to the forefront!  Hopefully, it will bring about change to the good of the taxpayers of Duval County who are getting the shaft royally by the current situation.  And note, please, Mr. Sleiman has not uttered one word of apology............only criticized Mr. Lee who brought this information to the forefront.  Without Mr. Lee, we would not have heard a word about it from the Times Union or anyone else.

This is not good, and if you want to voice a concern of more of the same in spite of the voice of the people in the "Fair District" referendums, now is the time!

This may be an area where our focus to register voters may need to go.  I suspect if this is actually true, we might get the school to let us set up a table for the purpose of giving out the registration forms along with a postage paid, addressed envelope????  Certainly worth thinking about.

When I read this, I was well reminded about the events that led up to Herman withdrawing from the presidential race.  This has been the nastiest race I can remember in a very long time, and to think someone who has used half truths, false statements and gutter fighting is probably going to win the nomination to be the republican candidate.  I know the democrats did the exact same thing last time, but I always believe someone can win running on their plan for the country without…

Interesting.  Three of us from the Arlington group walked a neighborhood today trying to get republicans out to vote in the primary, and what Romney is doing to Gingrich (and the false statements he is making to smear Gingrich) has turned off some voters.  One of the houses I went to, the woman said she had planned to vote for Romney, but because of all the negative stuff Romney is doing, she plans to sit out the primary and the election.  She does not want a president who is…

I thought this was of interest since it ties into a couple of the other blogs..............just from a different perspective!

Smoke gets in Mitt’s guise

There is more information out there in relation to Reagan, and Mark Levin, who is not a rabid Gingrich man, has made comments supporting Gingrich, because he understands the negative information is coming from Romney and his supporters.  So I guess it is "do as I say but not as I do" as far as Romney is concerned since he is fabricating stories.

I am posting this for your information, and further information can be received from Curtis Lee or if you wish to get involved in this issue and help out, I suspect you can get information from either Mr. Lee or CTDC as extensive work has been done on this issue (and I have posted some other information about that work in prior posts).   I have removed Curt's address, but he invites inquery, so I have left the phone number and Email for that…

A member of the Arlington Group sent this along to me this morning, and I am sharing it with all of you as it is very important to get this bill passed that disallows Shira Law in our Florida courts.
