Governor Christie's administration stated in a court brief filed in November 2014, “The scope of the environmental damage resulting from the discharges is as obvious as it is staggering and unprecedented in New Jersey.” Gov. Christie is on record stating: I am your governor. Young or old, republican or democrat, rich or poor, regardless of color or heritage – I promise you this: I will work every waking hour of every day for a better life for all of our citizens. He has failed to uphold this promise by accepting a settlement of 250 million dollars in the case of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection v. Exxon Mobil Corporation rather than uphold the Superior Court's determination of "abnormally dangerous activity" warranting penalties for damages amounting to BILLIONS of dollars as "a matter of law." This settlement is unacceptable to the people of the State of New Jersey.

The Oconee County Board of Commissioners is considering a request by the Georgia Department of Transportation to begin design work immediately for the widening of Daniells Bridge Road and for the construction of an extension of Daniells Bridge Road that would fly over SR Loop 10 to Home Depot. Construction funding is programmed to be released in 2018. The widened Daniells Bridge Road would provide an alternate route to the widened Mars Hill Road and, with the extension and flyover, would carry traffic from Watkinsville to Epps Bridge Parkway. The flyover could have entrance and exit ramps to and from SR Loop 10. Oconee County Public Works Director Emil Beshara told The Oconee Enterprise that the roadway would not relieve traffic congestion and its primary purpose is to spur economic development (Feb. 12, 2015, A1). The cost of the two projects is unknown, with one estimate of the flyover alone costing $20 million. What percentage of the costs the county will have to pay is not specified. The agreements before the county specify the time frame and that the county will have to reimburse the state for any spent federal funds if the county terminates the projects once the agreements are signed. The bulk of the money for extension and flyover would come from the federal government. The agreement would move the two Daniells Bridge Road projects to the top of the priority list, ahead of improvements to Simonton Bridge Road, which county data shows has more traffic, and a flyover of the Oconee Connector of SR 316. Because of costs of these and other county road projects, the Board of Commissioners is considering a property tax increase effective for the next fiscal year, which starts on July 1 of this year.

i am starting this petition becuz i have been put thru hell trying to get my husband the treatment he needs to get well, rather than bury him from quaduple bypass surgery and the following complications Mrsa would've given him. it's a huge scam being perpetrated on the naive American public, it is anti trust corruption at it's absolute worst, and it is inexcusable.

Like many San Franciscans, I don’t own a car. I got rid of it nine months after I moved to the Haight - when I got my thirteenth parking ticket. It was an adjustment, but I sure do not miss all the stress of having a car out on the street. For those of us who don’t own cars, we rely on the Muni. But, sometimes, there are errands for which the Muni just is not suited: trips to Costco, to Trader Joe’s, an emergency trip to the bank, etc. For these trips, there are by-the-hour carshare services like City Carshare. For me, City Carshare is a god-send. City Carshare enabled me to not think twice about getting rid of my car. I use it about twice a week: once to run some errand and every Friday to take my dog to dog-agility class. Owning a car would be a burden for me. Thanks to City Carshare, I don’t have to. There should be more carshare parking spots available, not fewer. It would be better if they were smaller and more dispersed, so members don’t have to walk that far to get to a car.

Dramatic life altering changes to the perspective of the united states of assets and the motto in god we trust. Ever since the system threw me in this nightmare in god I trust very well and will never leave his side. Either than that I, as well as millions of more Americans, need the courts and justice system renewed and fixed. No one should go thru hell for the benefit of whatever nature intended. Why can't I find help for serious offences committed by corrupt officials? My grandmother is the subject here and all this has been undue unjust war because of again no help. I wrote an email to presidents website, called FBI, and still no help from serious problems that could cause actual people harm. Time for a change for you, me, and our children for world peace ✌ thank you god bless his creations.

Solar power is a more efficient energy source and it will create many jobs over the long-term. Currently, 12,000 jobs are supported with what Solar Power we have now, imagine the opportunities if we can expand this to 20% of MA!

There are over 2,400 children in foster care in Alaska, a record number only expected to increase. The state is parent to these children, yet, does not have adequate resources to meet the growing demands of children and families in our foster care system. Cuts to programs that serve vulnerable children or that try and prevent maltreatment from occurring will result in horrific social and fiscal costs for decades to come.

Dear Arlington Residents, We need to expand language opportunities in APS to serve a critical number of francophone residents. Bilingualism increases mental flexibility for children and allows them to perform better in math, problem-solving and logic skills. It helps them to build self-esteem, creativity, and get a head start in competition for universities and jobs. Right now, families have to leave Arlington to McLean and MD for French immersion Programs.

Ohio Governor John Kasich is presently proposing furthering a regressive sales tax plan that is both economically unjust and unjustified. Since 2005, Republicans have shifted the source of state tax revenue from income (progressive) to sales (regressive) taxes. The present system has been hurting job growth and is nothing more than a give away the GOP's wealthy base. We need to fight this battle now as our economy would benefit by shifting the tax burden away from the 96 % of Ohioans who make an income of less than $200K/yr., increasing the take home pay, putting money in the pockets of those who will actually spend it, and creating jobs from the increased demand for goods and services. The top 4% would hardly feel the difference and continue present levels or increase hiring practices to meet the growing economy. This is another battle that will never go away as long as large amounts of money can be given to candidates by wealthy donors and money remains so closely tied to politics.

SAVING OUR WOLVES

I am a parent of a school-aged child. I want my daughter, and all children, to enjoy their years in school, instead of dreading the reforms that are bankrolled by billionaires who are just salivating over their plan to privatize public education, just to make a savage profit off of our children
