Rich,
Great blog and I couldn't agree more. American workers have a right to retire with dignity…Read More and SB 54 takes another step to make that a reality. This bill is a common sense solution to the problem that many workers face as they near retirement. Considering the analysis of the bill shows only an extremely low, one-time, cost then hopefully that will be enough to have both chambers pass it.

It is NOT up to the general public to support anyone in retIrement. It IS the responsibility of…Read More each individual to provide some savings for their retirement. We have to learn to NOT buy what we want but to buy responsibly what we need.
My wife and I live on social security and very small savings. We have yard sales and sell off some of our "stuff" when we need cash. WE have always lived responsibly and had a good life.

Pretty funny Spencer. But you don't want a museum there. You need something that generates taxes.…Read More Museums are mostly non-profit thereby not generating any taxes. I know you were being funny. I was disgusted to read the developer couldn't show financial backing.

Who would haveever thought of Wasp Spray?
When you get the case of spray, be sure and drop a can off…Read More at my house;>)

Barbara, I agree with you. But it is probably a lot easier to get an illegal social security number…Read More than we would know. There are two ways of looking at this issue, but my resentment is that I have to pay for them.

But for state aid they would have to have a Social Security number. Bending and breaking laws is…Read More how they got here in the first place. The fact that elected officials condone and encourage these laws to be broken is the biggest problem that I have with this whole debacle. "Undocumented residents" place a burden on all of us, and take jobs that could be worked by legal residents. Employers hire illegals (yes I prefer calling them what they are, to hell with being politically correct) because it saves them money, not because "no one else would work these jobs". This is a slap in the face to all of our ancestors who came to this country and followed the rules to become citizens.

The way things have been going in the eastern part of the United States, as long as the illegals are…Read More not breaking the law criminally (motor vehicle is different), they are not arrested for being illegal. Its the illegal immigrants who break the law, such as the large drug bust recently in the papers. As long as they are minding their own business, they get a pass. The only problem I have with illegals is their rush to get on state aid, food stamps, etc. I don't think we should have to support those that choose to live in this country illegally. Becoming a US citizen is not cheap. It is expensive, but it is something that they must work for.

Sounds like a bunch of goobledygook to me. And Sue, the Democrats being divided isn't anything new…Read More as well as the backstabbing and bs. It's been going on for years. That is one of the reasons I changed to independent a long time ago. I'm presently a Democrat, but changing back to independent as soon as I can get down there.

Bravo Sue P. And Kathleen I changed the word from "her" to "his". Why should…Read More people not question the motives of the city council president?
Sue P. May 15, 2013 at 08:53 am
Glad to here that Felicia, I sure hope that you are who you are and not the HE I was told you are.…Read More Now is the time to work together and not pick each other apart like the Administration is doing to the Democrat Town Committee.You should see how divided they are and all the back stabbing and bickering that goes on. I say stay clear of that group.
Luis Smart May 14, 2013 at 07:04 am
I agree Richard argyle sweaters would have really made it. It is really sad Michael Passero has gone…Read More to the dark side and has aligned himself with the administration rather than the people of the city. The one time high vote getter will be all done in November.

I think it is pretty funny although they should be wearing argyle vest sweaters!
