• January unemployment rate drops to 9.7 percent

  Is it true that they take the individuals who have been out of work for longer than six months out of the unemployment number?
  I would say that the unmanipulated unemployment number is probably closer to 19%.

• Mayo Civic Center among bonding projects

  Do these elected representatives hear themselves speak?

  ” it is indefensible to play games with this bill”

• Public humiliation of school board member was unnecessary

  
  Of course it was unnecessary. There are so many indiscretions amongst the board brethren that it is difficult to understand why this incident garners such attention.

  But what a perfect opportunity for a certain someone on the board to try and humiliate Fisher into resigning.  If she were to leave, it would create an empty seat on the board to be filled.
