Pete Hoekstra: State made mistake denying air quality permit to Wolverine Power Cooperative - MLive.com
"The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE) issued a long-overdue decision today that epitomizes everything wrong with the bureaucracy in Michigan the past seven years, and just how much Lansing is lacking leadership.
Specifically, DNRE denied an air quality permit to Wolverine Power Cooperative -- a generation and transmission electric cooperative headquartered in Cadillac, Michigan. Wolverine seeks to build a new power plant utilizing clean coal technology.
The decision took over two years!"

CARPE DIEM: Top Recipients of Public Pensions in New York Would Rank as 178th Largest Economy in World
CARPE DIEM: Top Recipients of Public Pensions in New York Would Rank as 178th Largest Economy in World
"MP:
There are more than 22 retirees receiving more than $200,000 per year, and one receiving more than $300,000.
In total, New York taxpayers are paying more than $370 million per year to just this partial group of retired New York public workers, which doesn't include those receiving less than $100,000 per year and doesn't include New York firefighters.
If this group of retired workers on the NY Times list was considered as a separate national economy, it would rank as the 178th largest country in the world by GDP."

Feeding America's twilight
Feeding America's twilight - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"Here are just a few of the scores of examples:
• House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called ObamaCare 'an entrepreneurial bill' that should encourage Americans to be 'creative,' and be, say, 'a musician.'
Quit your job, she urged; 'focus on your talent' and don't worry about not having health care.
Perhaps that's because other hardworking, tax-paying schmucks are paying for this freeloader's socialist care?"

State aims to change negative perceptions of welfare recipients
State aims to change negative perceptions of welfare recipients - MLive.com
"The state is on a campaign to reduce negative perceptions about those who need welfare, saying the stigma tarnishes the program and keeps people from getting help."
No problems.
Our state has oodles of extra Obama-stash and this expense is waay better than fixing roads, more cops or lower taxes for businesses.
I sure hope we begin a similar program to reduce our negative perceptions about those who vote for and create these programs, politicians.

So little antivenin is used through the course of a year it isn't profitable for drug companies to invest millions of dollars in studies, tests and manufacturing."

When a public pension is a trust fund
Mark Hemingway: When a public pension is a trust fund Washington Examiner
"And what about the other 3,704 retired New York public sector employees collecting six-figure pensions?
According to the Congressional Research Service, the mean income for private sector retirees is $31,757.
The CRS figure doesn't count the value of health care, which most retired public employees get for free or at minimal expense to them.
The CRS figure does include the average Social Security payout, which almost all public sector employees get on top of their generous pensions."
