County taxi regulations proposal reaches dead end
"After researching ordinances in cities like Kalamazoo, Waters had redrafted the proposal.
Her proposal had called for the state to regulate taxicabs similar to limousine operators.
Trip fares would have been agreed upon prior to a taxi picking someone up, instead of the traditional ticking meter.
“That would have been completely unworkable,” McEnvoy said. “When you drop someone off at Meijer, how long would you wait for them to shop?”
Is Waters as stupid as her proposal?

Guns allowed in Arizona bars starting Wednesday
Guns allowed in Arizona bars starting Wednesday
"Bartender Randy Shields was serving British brews and Arizona ambers as usual at Shady's bar in east Phoenix when he saw a customer walk in with a hunting knife strapped to his hip.
A disturbing image flashed through his mind — 'that knife sliding between my ribs.'
The customer willingly turned over the knife while he was in the bar, but Shields still worries about a new Arizona law that goes into effect Wednesday that will allow guns into Arizona bars and restaurants that serve alcohol.
Under the law, backed by the National Rifle Association, the 138,350 people with concealed-weapons permits in Arizona will be allowed to bring their guns into bars and restaurants that haven't posted signs banning them."
The silence from the MSM when dead, drunk Arizonians ....don't appear....will be deafening.

Editorial: West Michigan perfect home for March Madness
Editorial: West Michigan perfect home for March Madness
"There’s so much happening here that would appeal to an NCAA crowd. Grand Rapids, which would be the center of the action, has lots to offer in terms of nightlife and restaurants. But Muskegon, Grand Haven and Holland would put the icing on the cake for a West Michigan weekend fans would remember for a lifetime.
Depending on the weather, indoor and outdoor events showing off Lake Michigan could be planned.
When the Local Organizing Committee puts in its bid for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 games, we suggest they broaden their appeal to include the lakeshore communities. If the bid is awarded, certainly the lakeshore communities could offer coordinating events."
West Michigan in March!
What a concept!
Hoop fans would just love a 45 mile drive through the drizzle to wallow in our March Misery on the lake.
This has got to be the brain pupa of the delusional Paul Keep.

Muskegon County to save $200,000 through early retirements
Muskegon County to save $200,000 through early retirements
"Two incentives were on the table, but employees could only choose one. For employees with fewer than 25 years with the county, a credit of three years is applied toward the retirement medical plan. In other words, someone with 22 years could retire with medical insurance that is offered to those with 25 years’ tenure.
Also, employees who qualified to retire early were offered the option of collecting an increase of 200 hours in the employee’s “vacation bank.” That would be a $4,000 incentive, before taxes, for someone who makes $20 an hour.
The $200,000 annual savings takes into account salaries and benefits. While 10 of the positions are expected to be filled, the new hires will have lower salaries and less benefits than their predecessors."
This giant gift to Muskegon county employees may...and I mean "may" save the county $200,000 but if was really true wouldn't there be a simple way to track the savings..... and report it back to us taxpayers?
Yeah right. Just like all the other "savings" generated by the county "leadership".
And there is the idiocy of having to pay for the same position while the retiree gets a bonus AND a significant pension and health benefits paid by the state retirement fund.
So we're sorta paying 2 folks for one job? Yep!
And EVERY other county in the state is doing the same thing...so our broke state will get broker.
Now that's leadership!

In September, Bouchard announced his proposals for avoiding a budget crisis in the future. His proposals include:
* First; every day after May 15 without a budget will cost every legislator and statewide officeholder a day’s pay.
* Second; no non-essential legislation should be considered until a budget is adopted.
* Third; the state should adopt a two-year rolling budget and use externally verified numbers with a three-year projection."

ABSOLUTELY NO VOTER FRAUD...
ABSOLUTELY NO VOTER FRAUD
"Here’s the tougher question:
How many people voted illegally in other, fraudulent ways?
How many voted as one of the many fake names registered in the repeated and well-covered registration scandals of last year?
How many took advantage of the well-known fact that if you falsely register someone who’s dead or in prison -- which volunteers with the ACORN criminal enterprise did in Wisconsin last fall -- and you show up at a polling place to vote under that name, no one will ask you for any identification that could expose the fraud?
No such fraud took place, insist those who say vote fraud isn’t a problem (these, generally, would be people on the same political page as ACORN, uncoincidentally).
How do they know? They just know. They saw nothing, ergo . . .
Well, there was fraud, as the Milwaukee Police reported.
But more to the point:
If, despite similar assurances that our porous voting system nonetheless suffered no fraudulent voting by felons, we learn only now that about 200 felons voted undetected, what possible belief can anyone have that no one pulled off a much harder-to-detect fraud, especially after so much registration fraud was uncovered?
Answer: No such belief is sustainable other than by sheer, politically motivated wish that such vote fraud remain viable and useful."

Minimum Wage Increase Leads to Higher Teen Unemployment Rate
Minimum Wage Increase Leads to Higher Teen Unemployment Rate
"Earlier this year, economist David Neumark of the University of California, Irvine, wrote on these pages that the 70-cent-an-hour increase in the minimum wage would cost some 300,000 jobs.
Sure enough, the mandated increase to $7.25 took effect in July, and right on cue the August and September jobless numbers confirm the rapid disappearance of jobs for teenagers.
The September teen unemployment rate hit 25.9%, the highest rate since World War II and up from 23.8% in July. Some 330,000 teen jobs have vanished in two months.
Hardest hit of all: black male teens, whose unemployment rate shot up to a catastrophic 50.4%"

Many Democrats seem to view asking citizens for proof of identity as an invasion of privacy -- though what's really being protected is the right to commit identity fraud."

It’s Only Anti-Social
It’s Only Anti-Social
"The deep spiritual sickness of contemporary Britain is evident in the following comment on the inquiry in the liberal newspaper,
The Guardian: “Although much of the abuse centred on the taunts about the children’s disabilities, police failed to recognise it as a hate crime rather than simple antisocial behaviour, which would have made it a far higher priority.”
In other words, the seriousness of an offense committed in Britain now depends upon who the victim is.
If a person is not of an identifiably protected group, he or she is not entitled to police intervention against abusive stone- and bottle-throwing youths.
He is not entitled to protection at all.
The Guardian’s article appears to accept that such behavior, so long as it targets a member of an unprotected group, is merely undesirable—“anti-social” rather than obviously criminal.
The rule of law is fast evaporating in Britain; we are coming to live in a land of men, not of laws."
Sick and frightening!
