Wyoming's program to collect unused medicing may expand MLive.com
"'A big thing that we want to focus on is education,' he said.
'If you do put (medicine) in the landfill or you do put it in the toilet, it's going to get into our streams and rivers and lakes.
'Sitting in a landfill's probably not the best place for it.'"
Well now.
The first "education" I'd like to see is the studies that prove that our "streams and rivers and lakes" are showing dangerous levels of these drugs.
And the second is the total cost of this program.
I don't know if this is a worthy program or not
But if we the people won't demand answers to these questions, programs like this will multiply without oversight
.
Even if they're as worthless as most of the other "who cares what it costs" explosion of state, county and local boondoggles.

Proposed budget cuts for schools in Whitehall not as deep as feared
Proposed budget cuts for schools in Whitehall not as deep as feared
"After identifying the $1.4 million in cuts, the school board met earlier this month to restore more than $800,000 of the cuts.
'Things that were restored were direct services to the classrooms,' Dongvillo said.
The district initially was set to eliminate about 13 teaching positions.
But the budget now calls for seven."
When it's more money for tenured teachers, larger class size just disappears as an issue.
No cuts in their automatic triple automatic annual pay raises.
No cuts in their platinum health benes.
Screw the kids.
Screw the parents.
Screw the tax payers.

THE MISSING GATES

THE MISSING GATES: Reader John Koisch makes an interesting observation:
For as long as I can recall, the media dubbed everything scandalous a “gate” of some sort after the famous Watergate.
So we had Watergate, Contragate, and of course the blogosphere had Rathergate, and so on.
I can’t recall a single “xxxgate” since Obama came to office, at least not in common parlance.
On the one hand, it is welcome relief from a tired meme.
But on the other, I wonder if the lack of Londongate, Stupakgate, Oilgate, Golfgate, [the democrat who was anti-abortion and wouldn't vote for the healthcare bill, but did anyway once he got a hug from Obama]gate, Tarpgate, and so on indicates some sort of complicity amongst the MSM?
It strikes me odd.
Hmm. It’s not as if there haven’t been scandals. . . .
UPDATE: Several readers suggest “Profli-Gate” as the catch-all description for this Administration . . ."

A Father's Day Story
Power Line - A Father's Day Story
"Tevlin writes:
[W]hen he saw on the television that tornadoes were forming in the area, Wes Michaels jumped in his pickup truck and drove down to the Cenex to check on Heidi, who was managing the station.
When he got there, a customer joked that he should be out having fun on his birthday.
A few minutes later, a twister took aim on the station.
Michaels ordered Heidi and customers into the cooler as it hit.
Michaels was a big man, about 6 feet tall with a broad chest, 'a strong man who wasn't afraid to use his strength,' according to his former boss, Orville Lee.
Instinctively, he positioned his body above that of his daughter, and took the brunt of the force from debris as the building crumbled around them.
It occurs to me that Michaels' story is a little like a real-life version of a song that we noted recently.
Wes Michaels, RIP, and happy Father's Day to all of our readers who are fortunate enough to bear that title."

Dad's flag
I originally posted this on 4/6/2006 and thought it would go well with the story of Private First Class Jack G. Rasey and the flag his son bought in his Dad's name.
"Today is Take an American Flag to Work Day so I though it might be a good time to recount this little story about the last birthday gift I received from my father.
Dad passed away last summer after a broken hip forced him to move into assisted living.
We'd become fast friends in the last 15 years after my rather tumultuous youth.
Like many fathers, Dad hated shopping and early on caved to reality, just sending a generous check as Christmas and birthday gifts.
Like many fathers, Dad hated shopping and early on caved to reality, just sending a generous check as Christmas and birthday gifts.
Most times I'd send Dad a thank you and deposit the check in my checking account, soon to be forgotten.
But last year, after my visit to his new apartment, reality crept into my consciousness and I realized that Dad might not be with me forever.
My birthday check arrived shortly after my visit and for some reason, I just hung on to it, not depositing it for a few weeks.

It took me some time but I soon realized that I wanted to do something special with my father's gift.
As luck would have it, I was chatting with a friend who has his own flagpole and I asked him who had installed it.

He had done it himself, and I instantly had the answer to my quest for the perfect gift from Dad.
A few days later it was up.
A few days later it was up.
Lighted at night, almost always flapping proudly during the day.
I took a photo of the flag and sent it to Dad and I think he got as much of a kick out of as did I.

He instilled a tremendous sense of American pride and patriotism in all his children and he was wonderfully proud to fit into his old US Naval officer's uniform a few years back.
Yes, that's Dad up top.
We all must bear the loss of our parents but the memories of their love and life lessons live on.
My Father is gone now but his spirit and "Dad's Flag" greet me each time I come home.
Thank you, Dad. for the wonderful memories that make me smile even as I grieve."

Soros: European recession next year almost inevitable
"Flaws built into the euro from the start had become acute, Soros told a seminar, warning that the euro crisis could have the potential to destroy the 27-nation European Union."
The euro was doomed from the start.
Based on false promises of every nation to "do the right thing".....yeah, like Europe has a long history of that..........
Residents get 6 votes each in suburban NY election
"Federal Judge Stephen Robinson said that violated the Voting Rights Act, and he approved a remedy suggested by village officials: a system called cumulative voting, in which residents get six votes each to apportion as they wish among the candidates."

"DETROIT—This shrinking city needs to hang on to people like Johnette Barham: taxpaying, middle-class professionals who invest in local real estate, work and play downtown, and make their home here.
Ms. Barham just left.
And she's not coming back.
In seven years as a homeowner in Detroit, she endured more than 10 burglaries and break-ins at her house and a nearby rental property she owned.
Still, she defied friends' pleas to leave as she fortified her home with locks, bars, alarms and a dog."

America's Municipal Debt Racket
Steven Malanga: America's Municipal Debt Racket - WSJ.com
"New Jersey officials recently celebrated the selection of the new stadium in the Meadowlands sports complex as the site of the 2014 Super Bowl.
Absent from the festivities was any sense of the burden the complex has become for taxpayers.
Nearly 40 years ago the Garden State borrowed $302 million to begin constructing the Meadowlands.
The goal was to pay off the bonds in 25 years.
Although the project initially went according to plan, politicians couldn't resist continually refinancing the bonds, siphoning revenues from the complex into the state budget, and using the good credit rating of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition authority to borrow for other, unsuccessful building schemes.
Today, the authority that runs the Meadowlands is in hock for $830 million, which it can't pay back.
The state, facing its own cavernous budget deficits, has had to assume interest payments—about $100 million this year on bonds that still stretch for decades."

The GOP is sure to oppose it, but may not be able to stop a concerted Democratic push.
Bailing out the states (especially California) is going to take a lot more than a piddling $50 billion, of course.

However, the sensors began malfunctioning as they grew older and continually became covered in spider webs, Salzmann said.

"More recently, questions were raised over film infrastructure tax credits, including a proposed $10 million credit tied to Walker's Hangar42 Studios project inside the former Lear auto-parts plant, 2150 Alpine Ave. NW.
Lockwood's office gave initial approval to the $10 million rebate based on a claim of a $40 million investment in the studio.
Critics point out the site was listed for sale for less than $10 million just weeks before that application, with little proof of major renovations or other investment since.
Efforts by The Press, The Mackinac Center for Public Policy and other media outlets to find out more about that deal -- including whether the $10 million check was cut -- were turned away by the film office and Michigan Department of Treasury.
They said it was illegal for them to share taxpayer information with the public."
