Regents attended the hastily called meeting in a closed conference room"
"Hastily called" usually ain't good.

Massive Layoffs Coming in NYC, Nevada, California, Colorado, Arizona, Everywhere
Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis: Massive Layoffs Coming in NYC, Nevada, California, Colorado, Arizona, Everywhere
"More than a third of the streetlights in Colorado Springs will go dark Monday.
The police helicopters are for sale on the Internet.
The city is dumping firefighting jobs, a vice team, burglary investigators, beat cops — dozens of police and fire positions will go unfilled.
The parks department removed trash cans last week, replacing them with signs urging users to pack out their own litter.
Neighbors are encouraged to bring their own lawn mowers to local green spaces, because parks workers will mow them only once every two weeks.
If that."
This IS coming to Michigan AND Muskegon.
And no one seems to care.
Sup wit dat?

"Stated another way, even if TARP saved our financial system from driving off a cliff back in 2008, absent meaningful reform, we are still driving on the same winding mountain road, but this time in a faster car."

Latest Muskegon County employee criminal investigation: Friend of the Court worker allegedly stole public funds
"Also on Monday, the sheriff’s office was turning its criminal investigation of fired Deputy County Treasurer Dan Joslyn over to the prosecutor’s office, Roesler said. “It should be reaching their desk by the end of the day,” the sheriff said.
Joslyn was the county’s second-ranking treasury official for the past 12 years.
After being on administrative leave for several weeks, he was fired last month for an undisclosed reason as an investigation into his activities in the office continued.
A third investigation of Muskegon County employees continued internally Monday, with no report of a police investigation being requested."
Lots of crooked "dominoes" falling at the county.
Who is minding the store?
Whose head will take the ax?

Influx of bears a nuisance across Nunavut
Influx of bears a nuisance across Nunavut
"Ikummaq, a wildlife officer for 28 years who’s travelled on the land around Igloolik since the 1950s, says polar bears are indeed coming closer to human settlements in search of food, but they’re not skinny or sickly.
Instead, hunters in the region are reporting well-fed bears and mothers travelling with multiple cubs, another sign that bears are having no trouble finding food.
The male population is also up, he said.
“They [hunters] are guaranteed to be seeing polar bears at camp,” Ikummaq said.
“This much we know now.”
“Twenty years back, you went caribou hunting, there was never a time you saw a bear.
But in the last six years, that’s when polar bear-human encounters have occurred more constantly.”"
But AlGore and his minions promised us these dang bears were disappearing!
Sup wit dat?
