Sooo, the "important" stuff gotta wait until AFTER the election?------5 things Michigan Legislature is likely to do -- and not do -- this fall
5 things Michigan Legislature is likely to do -- and not do -- this fall | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
So here are five things Michiganders can expect — and more important, not expect — to see happen in nine session days in September and three in October.
Road improvements
The Legislature may nibble around the edges of funding for desperately needed road improvements, estimated to cost between $1 billion and $2 billion a year for the next 10 years. The Senate could take up bills that deal with things such as warranties on road projects and fines and fees for overweight trucks that have already passed the House. But a comprehensive solution, which requires some sort of revenue increase, is unlikely before November.
A bipartisan Senate work group has been meeting on the issue but has have not reached a consensus, McCann said.
Seriously? Army Officer Barred from Daughter's School Because of Uniform
Seriously? Army Officer Barred from Daughter's School Because of Uniform – Deadline Detroit:
"As puzzling stories go, this one is pretty darn puzzling.
Fox 2's Maurielle Lue reports that a father in a military uniform was denied access to Rochester Adams High School because of his uniform.
The father was going to the school to talk to his daughter's counselor about her schedule.
Lt. Col. Colonel Sherwood Baker, who has served in the Army for 24 years, reportedly was told by school security that he would have to go home and change if he wanted to get in the school.
He was told the uniform might offend some students, Baker's wife Rachel Ferhadson tells Fox 2."

Senate Democrats No. 1 Priority After the Recess?
Senate Democrats No. 1 Priority After the Recess?:
"When the Senate reconvenes today, the No.1 legislative priority of Democrats is to pass a resolution that would gut the First Amendment, one of the few times in American history an amendment has been proposed to cut back on part of the Bill of Rights.
It’s probably no surprise they want to restrict political speech that could threaten their incumbency, but it is a bit ironic coming just a little more than one week before Constitution Day on Sept. 17."

Price the gun owners out of the market. The march continues.-----Michigan counties report varied gun permit costs
No mention of the cost to gun owners for permit renewal every few or years gun purchase fees.
And, sorta forgot, the "public" money saved because of all the crimes that never happened because criminals decided it just wasn't worth the risk to attack an armed citizen.
Michigan counties report varied gun permit costs | Crain's Detroit Business:
LANSING — The reported cost of concealed carry gun permits to Michigan taxpayers varies widely in each county, with a high of $214 per permit and a low near $3.
And, sorta forgot, the "public" money saved because of all the crimes that never happened because criminals decided it just wasn't worth the risk to attack an armed citizen.
Michigan counties report varied gun permit costs | Crain's Detroit Business:
An analysis of county data shows estimated taxpayer costs are inconsistent across the state even though each Michigan gun carrier pays a flat $105 fee for a concealed permit, MLive.com reported. Muskegon County taxpayers pay nearly $26 to process each permit, while it costs $103 in neighboring Newaygo County, according to officials.
Michigan law requires counties to detail the cost of issuing the permits per person. There is little consistency based on the size of a county, and critics think the drastic differences make no sense.
Linda Talsma, Marquette County's clerk, isn't sure why the costs submitted by her office are listed as the lowest. She thinks the reported $3.24 cost isn't realistic.
....The state mandated charge of $105 for concealed pistol applications is split three ways, $26 for counties, $15 for sheriff's offices and $64 for the Michigan State Police.
Feds to Spend $500,000 for New Art at Customs and Border Protection Facility in San Diego
Feds to Spend $500,000 for New Art at Customs and Border Protection Facility in San Diego | The Weekly Standard:
The "busiest land port of entry in the Western Hemisphere" is getting an upgrade, and according to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), about a half a million dollars worth of new artwork will be part of the package.
The San Ysidro Land Port of Entry, the border crossing facility for the San Diego-Tijuana region, has been undergoing a $735 million modernization project spanning more than a decade.
Since phase three of the project is included in President Obama's fiscal 2015 budget, the GSA has begun soliciting contractors, and that includes artists who will be commissioned to provided approximately $500,000 in new artwork for the new buildings.

Survey: U.S. workers face a dim future - New York News:
"WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. workers face a dim future, with stagnant or falling pay and fewer openings for full-time jobs.
That's the picture that emerges from a survey of Harvard Business School alumni.
More than 40 percent of the respondents foresee lower pay and benefits for workers.
Roughly half favor outsourcing work over hiring staffers. A growing share prefer part-time employees.
Nearly half would rather invest in new technology than hire or retain workers.
At the same time, it's becoming harder for the executives to find skilled workers, according to the survey results being released Monday.

Welfare for marijuana: Sen. Jeff Sessions tackles dispensary loophole
Welfare for marijuana: Sen. Jeff Sessions tackles dispensary loophole - Washington Times:
"Welfare recipients can’t use their EBT cards at liquor stores but they can at marijuana dispensaries in states such as Colorado that have legalized pot, Sen. Jeff Sessions revealed Tuesday.
The Alabama Republican announced that he was drafting legislation to close the welfare-for-weed loophole after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirmed to him that marijuana shops were not off limits to EBT cards, which replaced food stamps, or other federal benefits.
“The federal government current spends roughly $750 billion each year on means-tested welfare programs across 80 different accounts.
This money is administered by a vast, sprawling bureaucracy with little oversight and no moral vision,” said Mr. Sessions, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee."

Bill Bans EPA's Attack on Property Rights
Bill Bans EPA's Attack on Property Rights:
"The House is expected to vote on legislation as soon as Tuesday that would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers from moving forward with their proposed “waters of the U.S.” rule.
In April, the EPA and Corps proposed regulation that would define what waters that they can regulate under the Clean Water Act. For decades, they have tried to expand their jurisdiction. This proposed rule is no exception, acting as both a water and land power grab. It has little to do with actually improving the environment. "

"Well, if you want to increase drug use among the young, make it legal. Right?-----Regular marijuana use among college students at a three-decade high, survey says
Regular marijuana use among college students at a three-decade high, survey says | MLive.com:
"By 2013, that rate was up to 39 percent, meaning that 429 of the 1,100 students surveyed said they had used one or more drugs in the 12 months preceding the survey.
The study pointed out that daily or near-daily use of marijuana – defined as 20 or more occasions of use in the prior 30 days – has been on the rise.
The recent low was 3.5 percent in 2007, but the rate had risen to 5.1 percent by 2013.
"This is the highest rate of daily use observed among college students since 1981 – a third of a century ago,"
Lloyd Johnston, the principal investigator of the MTF study, said in a statement.
"In other words, one in every 20 college students was smoking pot on a daily or near-daily basis in 2013, including one in every 11 males and one in every 34 females.
To put this into a longer-term perspective, from 1990 to 1994, fewer than one in 50 college students used marijuana that frequently."

FERRYSBURG, MI – City officials are mulling what sort of beasts its residents should be allowed to keep on non-farm areas inside the city limits.
Two separate requests from residents have brought issues with animals to the officials' attention this month, said Ferrysburg city manager Craig Bessinger.
FERRYSBURG, MI – City officials are mulling what sort of beasts its residents should be allowed to keep on non-farm areas inside the city limits.
One request comes from the Montambo family, which is hoping to keep goats that they've purchased.
Adam Montambo said he and his wife, Amanda, bought the goats in late 2013 after determining that several members of the family were allergic to cows' milk.
Sept. 11.
"They all have names.They all have personalities and they are a blast. They are less of a problem than my dog." - Adam Montambo on his family's goats
....Another resident's request concerned a honeybee colony.
The request prompted a proposed ordinance to revise the city's code on farm animals, Bessinger said.
The revised ordinance – which would lump honeybees colonies with other animals restricted to farms – was passed by the city Planning Commission Sept. 4.

Report: No Global Warming For 215 Months
Report: No Global Warming For 215 Months | The Daily Caller:
"The numbers are in and the verdict is that there has been no global warming for 17 years and 11 months, according to satellite data.
Satellite data prepared by Lord Christopher Monckton shows there has been no warming trend from October of 1996 to August of 2014 — 215 months. To put this in perspective, kids graduating from high school this year have not lived through any global warming in their lifetimes.
According to Monckton — the third Viscount Monckton of Brenchley and a former policy adviser to U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher — the rate of warming has been half of what climate scientists initially predicted in the early 1990s.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) first predicted in 1990 that global temperatures would rise at a rate of 2.8 degrees Celsius per century. But the temperature rise since the IPCC’s prediction has only been at a rate of 1.4 degrees Celsius per century.
The so-called “pause” in global warming has baffled climate scientists, as many climate models did not predict a prolonged period of little to no warming. While some climate scientists deny the “pause” in global warming even exists, others have looked to places ocean and wind patterns for answers as to why there has been no warming for nearly two decades.
There are now literally dozens of potential explanations for the global warming “pause,” ranging from increasing volcanic activity to Chinese coal-fired power plant emissions."

Ebola Spreading 'Exponentially' as Patients Seek Beds in Liberia - NBC News.com:
"The Ebola virus is spreading exponentially across Liberia as patients fill taxis in a fruitless search for medical care, the World Health Organization said Monday.
In Sierra Leone, a doctor working for WHO tested positive and was preparing to be evacuated from the country.
Meanwhile, the newest U.S. patient, a doctor infected in Liberia, was feeling a little better and could even eat a little, doctors treating him in Nebraska said.
The various reports illustrated in the clearest possible way the disparities driving the epidemic in West Africa, where there’s almost no medical system structure.
The three patients evacuated to the United States have all begun to recover quickly once they get good supportive care, which includes around-the-clock nursing care and good nutrition."
