This type of stuff gets people fired in the real world. It would not have taken much effort to look into and double check to make sure they were doing what they needed to do to be eligible to get the money.
Now we as taxpayers have to pay for other places to get their sewers fixed as well as our own.

There is a lot of work to go but it has been a really neat surprise to see the slow and steady improvements happening to the downtown area over the past 5 years or so. We need to promote this more to help build upon it more.
I see the reason for the poll question with the anniversary date but I do not see the reality of the either or in terms of communism or terrorism. If communism did not collapse we would still be dealing with terrorism.
I do not see the date as a watershed date that made the world better or worse. Of course it made it better.

I agree tydej. I was unaware that there was peace in the middle east and no terrorism when the the Soviet Union was in tack.

Sorry for the one or two employees who were laid off that might have legit workers comp claims, which of course they can still file, but the odds of that high of percentage of employees at a company with current worker comp situations is a joke.
Sounds to me sour grapes and a fraudulent attempt at payback. Management from other companies in this area have just took notice and will now not touch an employee that was working there because of this dishonesty.

Last time I checked sports teams, casinos, theaters, concert halls and most people in the world did not make a vow of poverty and preach charity toward others. That is kind of the huge difference.
Ms. Silverman was making a funny because that is what comedians do. Often humor point out the hypocrisy in life for which all human beings are guilty of doing. She was not trying to start a movement to change or expect people to try to do what she asked but was simply a joke.
One might think anyone taking it seriously or gets offended from it might want to look in the mirror and see why. As this person thinks one might be using their beliefs to feel superior towards others and not to try to be just a good person living the way God wants us to. Because there was no attack on the Catholic religion but merely pointing out a hypocrisy for some in it that is amusing to some people.

Good leadership equals “putting in charge someone who agrees with me”. Saint Jo our main hobby is complaining.
The months/maybe years now this is not about leadership but many people with their pet issues all wanting them to be taken care of by putting the right “leaders” in place. There will simply never be any good leadership because there is no one to lead. Until the community as a whole gets behind a vision and not out of anger for issues like any tax is a bad tax, one penny from my wallet is too much, reopen Webster and Neely, I do not like how this person did this or spent that in a school system and on and on we are doomed to spinning our wheels.
Mm1967, we compete for new businesses with every city in this country. It is the definition of Saint Jo ignorance that continues this argument of kids can learn just as well in old and non modern facilities. The businesses could care less about if that is a fact or not but they do care TERMENDOUSLY what there key people who run or they will need to bring in over the years to run their businesses think. I hate to break it to you but they want their children to have the best and can find plenty of good schools elsewhere that also have modern facilities.
You can debate the benefit of that all day long but it does not change this as a fact. Our school facilities hurts us bringing in new businesses into the area and we are not helping ourselves get economically better by chest thumping “good enough”.

You failed to mention the quiet extortion of the people that pay at an ongoing and record pace way outdistancing inflation over the same time period. Maybe if you would have thought about that there would not be a national health care plan knocking at your door.
The Mafia took pride in their protection they gave to all the people they shook down.

I wonder just how many people know that when a company that is in financial trouble and owes a bank a lot of money that one of the very first things these banks do is limit in a severe way how much people in management can be paid.
The government is just trying to do what banks have been doing forever in the exact same situation.

Sorry I want to be a vote yes and think it is terrible what we have done with the no vote last time around on just renewing the 63 cent one. But this community is not going to do anything, because that is our specialty, and if all we are doing is temporarily giving them back the money then all we do is just spin our wheels.
I want to see a long term plan in place that is part of the long term success and progress of this city. This has far less to do with the school board and district then it does with the people in this city needing to realize something different then same old thing and just treading water. If it takes people to see just how bad our schools are funded and outdated by making them get worse then so be it.
Tough love if people need to see it in a clearer manner. The greater good of getting something done that will be beneficial to this city and our communities in the long run.
