Burlington Derailed — The Continuing Story
01 July
Rufus Falling Heland
Spike,
Burlington's current Police Station was supposed to be a temporary solution. How long is temporary?
Like everything else in Downtown Burlington, the "temporary" Police Station is antiquated and falling apart. Renovation of a building not designed for its current use and crumbling makes little sense. Talk, talk and more talk about a joint City County Law Enforcement building.
Heland does more than talk. Heland spends money. Heland spent money like a drunk with Hoschek's help. Every touchy feely, make everybody happy idea that comes along, Heland is ready to spend.
Heland can prioritize nothing. The cupboard is bare.
17% annual tax increases can not go on forever. One of these days, the current Police Station will collapse into the streets. A not uncommon experience in Downtown Burlington, but unacceptable for public safety in more ways than one.
The tiles at the top of Heland's skull keeping falling. There is nothing between Heland's scalp and his mouth to stop them.
Heland needs booted out. Hobnails on Heland's hemorrhoids should be just the start.
Local leaders afraid to prioritize real needs within our means must go.

Obama's 'Fiscal Orgy' Paves The 'Road to Hell'
"G-20 leaders don't agree with the president that more spending will revive the economy. Nor do most Americans."
"At last week's G-20 meeting, President Barack Obama achieved a two-fer. He suffered a significant international defeat, and he increased the chances his party will suffer a major domestic one this fall.
Mr. Obama's international defeat was self-inflicted. He went to Toronto to press other major nations to do as he has done: Expand government spending, or suffer, in the president's words, "renewed economic hardship and recession."
...Canada, Germany, Great Britain and most other countries declined Mr. Obama's invitation. The German economic minister "urgently" prodded America to cut spending at a press conference on June 21, prior to the G-20 meeting. The president of the European central bank took direct aim at Mr. Obama's argument, telling the Italian newspaper La Repubblica on June 16 that "the idea that austerity measures could trigger stagnation is incorrect."
The European Union president, Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, tore into Mr. Obama's stimulus and other spending policies in a stunning address to the European Parliament in March 2009, calling them "the road to hell" and saying "the United States did not take the right path."
If it sounds strange to have European leaders lecturing the U.S. about fiscal restraint, it should. But that is where America finds itself after Mr. Obama's 17-month fiscal orgy. "
CBO says debt will reach 62 percent of GDP by year's end
"The national debt will reach 62 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by the end of this year, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said Wednesday.
The budget office said the debt will reach its highest percentage of GDP since the end of World War II. The jump is driven by lower tax revenues and higher federal spending in the recent recession."
Now what?
Al Gore in Heat - What a Sight All That Ego Must Be!
Spike,
The act of amour expends much energy thus releasing heat. Add to that a few cigarettes afterward with heat trapping, CO2 green house gases expelled. What was Al thinking of?
Should Al Gore be neutered, or will his fall from sainthood bring reason rather than blind faith in a man to the great warming debate.

School Officials in Mass. Town Won't Let Students Recite Pledge of Allegiance
"When Sean Harrington entered his freshman year at Arlington High School, he noticed something peculiar: There were no American flags in the classrooms, and no one recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
So Harrington enlisted the aid of his fellow students, and now, three years later, they have succeeded in getting flags installed in the classrooms. But the pledge still will not be recited.
The Arlington, Mass., school committee has rejected the 17-year-old's request to allow students to voluntarily recite the Pledge of Allegiance, because some educators are concerned that it would be hard to find teachers willing to recite it, according to a report in the Arlington Patch."
What the hell has this country turned into? Teachers don't want to recite the Pledge of Allegiance should be fired. To hell with them and their damn union.

What About Our School Pension Fund? What's Our Liability?
The top 100 school administrators in Illinois are due over $867 million dollars in pension payments. A school superintendent making $304,000 a year is due over $9 million in pension benefits.
Problem is, they're about $400 million short in the pension fund.
What about our school districts? What's the taxpayer going to have to pay to keep up with the 'comparable city of our size'?
Where's Mike?
Spike:
It’s really hard to believe Mike has held his temper this long and just accepts all the lies Nobama made during his campaign. How can Mike remain silent in the face of so many set backs perpetrated during the Nobama regimes tenure; so far.
Now if Bush were still in office we’d of had a library full of Mike’s ramblings chastising Bush and his administration but not Nobama even though his administration has been a total failure and points out their Bilderberger belief in one world government. Maybe that’s why Nobama doesn’t want to help the private sector but would rather ruin the entire U.S. economy to further the goal towards the
Obama Bilderberger designed one world government. Maybe they were responsible for Nobama’s election as that group has done before in other countries.
Whatever happens we damn well better believe Nobama is anti American and wants to drive the economy back to the Stone Age by insisting on programs that have been proven failures world wide. None of his socialized programs have ever succeeded but he and his advisors can’t understand the simple truth.
VOTE THE WHOLE MESS OF DEMOCRATS OUT IN NOVEMBER AND GIVE OUR GOVERNMENT BACK TO THE PEOPLE; SO THIS NOBAMA MESS CAN BE CLEANED UP ONCE AND FOR ALL
