Consumption of craft beer is growing nationally and the sale of growlers allows consumers access to small brewery beers (most of which are unavailable in cans or bottles) at home. In addition, allowing the sale of growlers will increase state revenue and is a "green" alternative to disposable containers.

The landlord won't renew the bookstore's lease. He wants to rent to someone else, but Wellsboro needs a bookstore. The store has always paid rent, and never been late. It's a small town and there's just not anywhere else for the store to go.

Currently WA law requires full time faculty (tenure track) and part time faculty (adjuncts) at 2 year public post secondary schools to be represented by the same union. This is a conflict of interest. Full time faculty often supervise part time faculty. This inequity results in the interests of part time faculty being marginalized or not represented at all.

All development plans for Rio Santiago have failed, and there are no current plans to develop anything there. The owners of the property, Milan Capital, confirm the current plan is to expand concrete crushing and stockpiling activities indefinitely. My neighbors and I are directly affected by these operations because we can hear the crushing, rumbling and beeping of trucks and dozers all day. The dust covers our homes and yards, and the piles of gravel impair views across the valley and are unsightly. This dump in the middle of a beautiful rural residential area of East Orange is a visual eyesore. It is time to address the current use directly, by shutting down the dump in East Orange.

I am Board Certified in Palliative and Hospice, and have seen the lack of care given to Veterans.

In 2008, Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital closed. The South LA community lost its community hospital. The doctors, nurses, and therapists who worked there lost their jobs. We need more healthcare choices so that residents who have Covered California or MediCal can receive healthcare near where we live. We want healthcare vouchers that can be redeemed for healthcare from any licensed doctor, dentist, or therapist who practices in South LA.

This is a simple, effective action for people who are concerned about the failure of the Staten Island grand jury to indict the killers of Eric Garner

Heart Stick is a cruel Method of euthanasia that is the trend in shelters today. The animal is jabbed with a needle directly through its chest wall through deep players of muscle directly into the Beating heart. Often the needle misses & animal has to be re stuck hitting nerves & bones, Or in other cases the needle delivers the medication & then tossed on the floor to die a slow painful death. There are documented inside shelter reports from volunteers that state they are haunted by the blood curdling cries they hear from the kill room or from within the animals kennel( where other animals hear the distress)reports of animals being thrown in a freezer of in a landfill while they are still moving & alive, This method was created by John Mac Neil & to be used only under certain circumstances: not on healthy animals that are wide awake or under a light sedation or paralytic drug which rendered them useless but wide awake feeling every bit of the procedure. Often this method is taught to non medical shelter staff/inmates/law enforcers/sheriffs and animal control city working employees. They are not only unskilled in this method but often not animal caring animal workers but city employees ,overworked & underpaid taking their stress out on unfortuneate helpless animals. John Mac Neil admittedly said to me personally he does not agree with this method in shelters yet he is still allowing it to be sold to whoever has a DEA liscence. to buy drugs Again he himself does not recommend the use of this drug & its method in a shelter setting due to the lack of medical knowledge of the unskilled staff using it causing great pain,distress & an extremely horrific and painful death for countless animals daily in shelters all over the country. Most of these shelters using heart stick are using it on wide awake animals often missing the heart & repeating stabbing into the chest wall several times due to a lack of training in anatomy. The creator John Mac Neil supports humane euthanasia yet does not even offer his own training course for this method he created. Please ask John Mac Neil to prohibit the purchase of fatal plus & the use of this method to shelters & to reserve it only for use on deeply comotose and ill animals that have circulatory problems which it was made for ,not to be used on healthy wide awake animals that experience a barbaric death, the 3 major issues are 1. its meant to be used on wide awake animals! because sedation slows down the process of it taking effect( so John Mac Neil admits it is quick when done correctly but admits its a painful gutteral death none the less.. 2. Using sedation does NOT help the process , It is an illusion ,sedation only renders the animal helpless but does not provide pain relief,sedation is being used more for the purpose of making it easier for the person euthanizing to handle the animal. 3. many shelters are using a coctail of drugs and when administered improperly one drug that is a paralytic takes over first locking up every muscle making the animal unable to move yet it is wide awake & feels fear anxiety Pain but can not react,I would comparre this to vivisection. , this method is often used in the prison systems for live executions to make it appear as if the prisoner is experiencing a painless peaceful death,this is far from the truth. Due to the misuse of heart stick & its trend to be used in rural low budget shelters due to low cost , it should be prohibited in this setting all together. there has been enough undercover investigations & documented violations to seriously consider making this method outlawed. John Mac Neil considers himself an advocate for humane animal death. In fact he was par of a huge movement called dignity in death that outlawed the use of gas chambers in california,Iowa & other states,Lets ask John to not contradict his passion to advocate for humane death of animals while he is profiting off this barbaric method, Please view video (under discretion very graphic) to help you understand the need for this to be Banned in shelters Now! http://www.examiner.com/article/heart-stick-euthanasia-specialist-arrested-kentucky

Anyone possessing a Resident Maine Hunting Permit should be able to hunt small game and waterfowl on Sundays.

We want change for the benefit of the animals. A new building will not change much. We need a caring and compassionate staff. One that is there to help the animals get homes, work with rescuers, and try to make the lives of the that animals stay there a happy and healthy one. They have hired someone for grooming and for taking photos even when volunteers offered the same services for free and did a much better job. They are not doing what they can for the animals and are just wasting tax payers money on people who are not needed or that are incompetent.

As a US citizen I cannot just sit back and watch racism build back up into violence. Racism is learned, and Congress is teaching by example. They have set the tone for racial unrest and violence by demeaning President Obama because he is black. This is unacceptable and must stop.
