I keep getting denied without a given reason and told to reapply. I get the appointment letter 3 days after the appointment. I was calling daily for 3 weeks to reschedule and finally got a call yesterday saying my case is closed. I will reapply again and go to the office daily if I must. I don't drive a Mercedes and pull out 2 iPhones like half the people getting benefits. I was taught if someone is hungry, you feed them and always have, and the state denies a U.S. citizen food when in a rough time after years of hard work and taxes I helped feed others but can't get help myself now.

This bill has now been moved out of Government affairs and onto the House Floor. If it passes today it will crossover to the Senate. We need to keep up the pressure and make our opposition clear. This is an ill-conceived idea and will harm all residents of Dekalb County, not just Pine Lake.

Our roads are destroying peoples vehicle's. Every $ spent on studies, pet projects, even government vehicle's damaged by the roads is costing we the tax payers more and more. Gas tax hikes meant for road repair has not been put to that use and now our "ELECTED OFFICIALS" are again talking about raising the gas tax. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH--stop overspending, wasted spending, not using the tax collected for these projects FOR WHAT IT WAS INTENDED FOR. Illinois is starting to look like a third world country. If I was an elected official in Bloomington, Normal, McLean County or Illinois I would be embarrassed to have any out of town visitors to see how bad our roads are.

These types of illnesses are not well understood but affect so many. These people are living on the street. It has been so hard to get actual help. I watch my daughter struggle everyday for the past 6 years.

This proposed subdivision brings with it many concerns for Madison County including: -Sporadic and disorganized growth of our county lands -Possible ground and river water contamination -Disruption of the indigenous wildlife -An excess of empty, available lots -Excessive traffic and destruction of county roads

For decades, La Pulguita on Mission Street between 14th/15th has been a part of Mission culture. More than a thousand neighbors frequent the market on any given weekend day to find low cost  gifts, household items, crafts, clothing and snacks.  Currently, a small group of neighbors is attempting to shut down the market stating that the vendors do not belong on Mission Street. A new pilot is being proposed to move La Pulguita to Julian Avenue between 14th/15th, accommodating 54 vendor stalls with display tables, monitors from Arriba Juntos, and the same hours and rules followed by the vendors of the Arriba Juntos market.  Vendors would pay a lower, subsidized fee, so that vendors of all income levels can participate. ________________ Por decadas La Pulguita ha sido parte de la cultura de la Misión. Más de mil vecinos frecuentan el mercado en cualquier día de fin de semana para encontrar regalos, artículos para el hogar, artesanías, ropa y bocadillos a bajo costo. Actualmente, un pequeño grupo de vecinos estan tratando de cerrar el mercado afirmando que los vendedores no pertenecen a la calle Misión. Se está proponiendo un nuevo programa para trasladar La Pulguita a la avenida Julian entre las calles 14 y 15, acomodando 54 puestos de vendedores con mesas de exhibición, monitores de Arriba Juntos, con las mismas horas y reglas seguidas por los vendedores del mercado de Arriba Juntos. Proveedores de todos los niveles de ingresos podrán participar ya que pagarán una tarifa mas baja y subsidiada.

Seniors should not be on a fixed income in their golden years, thank you

Should the New York State Legislature fail to pass this legislation this spring, the diversion of trucks onto local streets will have catastrophic impacts, imperiling the health and safety of Brooklyn residents, damaging the region’s economy, and costing taxpayers $113 million more to complete the project. Design-Build is the only means to forestall this situation. It is an approach being used on major public and private projects nationwide to save time and money. Moreover, eight New York State agencies are already using Design-Build, but New York State has to-date refused to allow the City to use this time and cost-saving project delivery approach. By signing the petition, you will send a message to the State legislature and the Governor that Design-Build authority needs to be enacted without further delay.

Net Neutrality is under threat by corporate ISPs who have historically received huge tax breaks for services which they ended up not providing. It's time to take control of the 21st century's most valuable utility and bring high speeds at reasonable prices to CT residents.

Without choice of providers, the citizens of Anna are being taken for a ride when it comes to electric service. A large majority of residents of Anna who have GCEC as the electricity provider have seen huge increases in bills in the last few months that cannot be attributed to colder temperatures. I, for example, have seen my bill jump more than $400 over a 2 month period. Without choice, this will only continue. Make your voice heard!

Every working American and student is impacted by the financial slow bleed of a new array of toll roads. Privatizing toll roads we do not want or need will siphon off the tax benefit in private pockets. Let's all ask Congress to pass a budget that does not include such underhanded and ineffective methods.

I will utilize community support to initialize a measure for the City of Walnut Creek to consider installing traffic calming measures (e.g., stop signs, speed humps, bump out, etc.) in order to keep our neighborhood residents safe.
