The Higher Ed, Lower Debt Act (SB 375) introduced by state senators Dave Hansen and Cory Mason would: - Create a state authority to help borrowers refinance their student loans, just like you can a home mortgage; - Allow borrowers to deduct their student loan payments on their state income taxes, just like you can with home mortgage interest; - Require borrowers be given detailed information before entering into loan agreements, offer counseling to students and parents on the implications of student loans and require the state to collect and disseminate information about private lenders and maintain a ranking system; and - Track information about student loan debt in the state to help policy makers better understand the depth and breadth of the debt crisis in Wisconsin. Thousands of borrowers with student loan debt live in Wisconsin. These are students who have worked hard to get their education and deserve to be given a fair shot at being in the middle class when they graduate college. Read more at www.bit.ly/WILowerDebt

The Virginia College for All (formerly, the Virginia Guaranteed Assistance Program) would offer no-loan guarantees to low-income students and interest free loans to students of middle-income families. Since state disinvestment in higher education is the number one reason colleges are cutting funds from their financial aid programs, this new legislation is a victory in reversing these trends. Other states should follow suit. Read more at www.bit.ly/VACollegeForAll

In MTA-NYCT, Level I Station Supervisors, are being exploited, bullied, forced, and intimidated into performing the exact same duties of, Level II Station Supervisors, for less pay. NYCT ignores, "The Lilly Ledbedder Fair Pay Act of 2009," Equal Work, Equal Pay. This type of inhumane slave labor should not exist in the 21st Century, and with a giant conglomerate as, MTA-NYCT.

Yelp harms millions of small businesses everyday because of a biased review system that unfairly filters out reviews without any reason. Apple's decision to use them for their Map service misleads customers and businesses are harmed because they can't ever improve their Yelp rating despite having legitimate reviews. I have personally been affected by this issue because my business has rated a 1 star on Yelp for several years with only 1 review. Despite the fact that we are 4/5 stars on sites like Google, Dex Knows, and Angie's List. Yelp constantly filters all incoming reviews both good and bad. As a result my business has suffered because Apple relies on Yelp for Apple Maps resulting in an unfair assessment of my business. By including both filtered and unfiltered reviews in the overall score would give a more fair rating and help thousands of other small business owners out there struggling to deal with unfair Yelp reviews.

Some of the closest neighbors to our Meander Reservoir, from which more than 200,000 of us obtain our drinking water, are gas wells. All wells eventually will leak. It is written in Numbers Chapter 10:9, “When you arrive in your own land and go to war against your enemies who attack you, sound the alarm with the trumpets. Then the Lord your God will remember you and rescue you from your enemies." These wells are our enemies, and I am starting this petition to sound an alarm against them.

Family Resource Networks are organizations that understand and are responsive to the needs and opportunities in WV communities. Partnering with citizens and local organization, the FRNs develop, coordinate and administer innovative projects and provide needed resources. FRNs have leverage 6.7 million in funds to local communities 1.3 million in funds for other organizations Over 2 million in-kind 117 people employed through FRNs FRN's believe that the most valuable and lasting improvements arise locally, from determined and well-equipped local leaders who can mobilize their communities with a common vision. We believe that investing in these leaders is one of the most critical catalysts for community-wide change. Most of all we believe that the children and families of WV are valuable. A state that is equally proud of its worth and resources will be a state that continues to work for a better future.

There needs to be a change the public school funding so that all school taxes in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are collected into a single, statewide pool, and then redistributed to school districts normalized for cost of living. Pennsylvania's public schools are currently funded largely on the basis of local property taxes paid by property owners and not by renters. Currently renters do not pay a school tax and some property owners have made homes into a multiple unit complex. This means that richer districts get *much* more funding per student than poorer ones, such as in rural counties or inner cities. The funding formula should be changed so that all school taxes are collected in a way of a "Fair Share Tax" in which a higher sales tax is collected into a single, statewide pool, and then redistributed to school districts normalised for cost of living (eg: it costs less to educate a child in Perry County than in Pittsburgh). Now a "Fair Share Tax"would be be economicaly responsible. The fair share tax would tax all resident, businesses, guests to the Commonwealth The end result of this will be better-educated children across Pennssylvania, improving the state's economy over the long term.

Not just as Black women or Black mothers, but as deeply and truly concerned Sistas Inspiring Sistas feel that such an event simply should not occur. Besides the obvious question, How can Zimmerman (who claims a teen been him to the point of necessary deadly force) fight a fully grown man. According to his own testimony he should at minimum feel threatened and more appropriately in fear for his life. Zimmerman is a murderer not a celebrity. Murder is after all a capital crime. Nothing about a killing an unarmed youth is worthy of celebration. We consider this a mockery of justice and the legacy of Trayvon Martin. Furthermore, information has come to light concerning Damon Feldman’s lack of ethics as well. Mr. Feldman has been publicly sanctioned for fixing fights and promoting without proper fighter licensing ( In fact his ability to promote in Pennsylvania was taken during his sanctioning process). This knowledge also lends the idea that this fight may not be fair and in so doing could stir further racial unrest across the country and potentially the world. To Sistas Inspiring Sistas, Trayvon Martin’s death signifies the injustice and malfunctions of the legal system and should NOT be glorified as entertainment. We could not affect the disappointing verdict outcome last summer, but we can do something about this travesty now. Sistas Inspiring Sistas, a positive organization of Black women across the country, asks that you stand with us and sign this petition in support of canceling this match. Please support our pettition and any others including https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-george-zimmerman-and-promoter-damon-feldman-using-murder-racial-hate-america-profit/0yVh1nVD
