• Recall Muncie Community Schools Board of Trustees
    The School Board of Muncie Community Schools has been meeting in private to discuss issues which breaks Open Door Laws. They will try to tell you they are having dinner. The law is clear that no more than 2 of them can be in a room together at a time without an executive session notice 48 hours before the meeting. The Muncie Community is in the dark about everything they are deciding. Their decisions affect the economy and future of the Muncie Community. This school board has put what is best for the students of Muncie Community Schools on the back burner.

  • Reinstate Alternate Side Parking
    This is what happens when alternate side parking is canceled for extended periods of time: -Finding a parking spot is virtually impossible for NYC teachers coming from Long Island, NJ, Upstate NY, etc. Yes, some may be able to use public transportation or carpool, but that is not feasible for everyone. -Aside from NYC teachers, anyone who relies on their car to get to work (people with disabilities, the elderly, etc.) will find it extremely difficult to find a spot for work tomorrow. -People who work odd hours (bartenders, nighttime cleaning staff) can't always rely on public transportation--not every bus route runs overnight; MetroNorth and LIRR don't run overnight either. -The longer people wait to move their cars, the more the snow solidifies, and the more it gets buried in by neighbors shoveling their sidewalk, making it even more difficult to dig their cars out when they have to a week later. -Small businesses suffer because (1) if people aren't moving their cars, they're less likely to make purchases or shop at any location that isn't within walking distance, and (2) people are less likely to try and move their cars if they know they won't be able to get a spot in front of the place where they need to go. -When cars finally have to move, they're more likely to have battery problems or their brake rotors rusting from sitting in snow/ice for excessive periods of time. -When cars have to move for alternate side parking, it actually allows the plows to get through and plow both sides of the street.

  • Cats and Wildlife Need Protection, Too
    Cats deserve protection too. That's why all mainstream animal welfare organizations, like the U.S. Humane Society and ASPCA and the American Veterinary Medical Association, recommend that cats not be allowed to roam loose. Excluding cat owners from most of our animal codes is not good for cats. Our animal codes also ignore one of the main threats to our city's wildlife. The Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and Fish and Wildlife Services estimate that domestic cats kill 2.4 billion birds and at least 12.3 billion mammals annually, almost all native species. This is not acceptable to many residents of Anacortes. Also forgotten was the protection of the property rights of people who want to safely feed birds in cat-free backyards and residents who don't want cat feces in their gardens and children's sand-boxes. Please include cat owners in our animal codes and license cats so their owners also help pay for animal control services.

  • Stop the most dangerous methane leak in history
    California Governor Brown has declared a State of Emergency, after an uncontrolled gas leak at SoCalGas's Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility in a Los Angeles neighborhood. This has been spewing out over 50 tons of potent methane gas per hour. The Obama Administration has failed to provide any resources to the State of California, or even make a statement. Methane is the most potent greenhouse gas, and once it enters into the atmosphere it takes about 12 years to break down. This is the LARGEST gas leak in history, and the gas company is estimating another two months until they can stop the leak. Join me in urging the Obama Administration to release a statement and send urgent and needed resources to California. This leak must be stopped as soon as possible. Photo Credit: Resilience

  • Arizona Legislature: Don't endanger our College students
    Through personal experience, I know how good and decent individuals can be pushed to extremes by personal and academic pressures, experienced during their college experience. The saddest are those who commit suicide because they cannot fit into the social activities. Or, because they cannot accept the possibility of not measuring up to family expectations academically. The scariest are those who decide someone else is responsible for their social or academic problems and choose violence to resolve the issue. Trust me, staring down the barrel of a gun, at point blank range, in the hand of someone you thought was your friend, is a life changing moment. Even if I had a gun, I would have been unable to "take out the bad guy with a gun" before he redecorated my surroundings with the contents of my brain pan. Some individuals can handle the pressure of college life, as well as the responsibility of gun ownership. Many cannot. Please. Let us err on the side of caution, and allow our students the opportunity to enjoy their college years, as much as possible. The world is not as scary, as some would have us believe.

  • Erie County Legislature: Keep the Closing Time at 4am!
    The closing time of bars in Erie County has been 4am since prohibition ended. We are a community that is growing with a city that has thousands of folks at work in the hospitality industry. Why would we want to cut the hours where people can make a living when there are more and more people working different hours who are moving into our region? Keep the closing times where they are and let individual business owners decide if they want to close earlier!
