The question shouldn't be who is going to pay for it, the question should be WHY DOES IT COST SO MUCH ? As one of the uninsured who pays their medical bills directly, I want fair prices, regardless of who is paying the bill.

Verizon refuses to bring FiOS to Brookhaven Town! There is no competition to Cablevision for telephone,television and internet/data services. Brookhaven residents pay higher rates to Cablevision than residents that live in towns that have FiOS. The digital divide grows! No FiOS means loss of jobs for the members of CWA 1108 in Suffolk! We ALL need FiOS in Brookhaven for good jobs and fair prices!

Lowering the salaries and benefits of elected officials.

Nebraska is wasting millions of dollars and untold human resources annually arresting and incarcerating people for simple possession of marijuana. In 2 states, one right next door, possession is completely legal, and in about 20 others possession is allowed with a prescription. With the astouding cost per prisoner and always needing more prison space and, more money, Nebraska's position on marijuana is costing us more than we, as taxpayers, can afford to pay.

Washington State senators help join other senators in the other states in addressing a solution to military sexual assault within our own ranks, by suggesting legislation to strip military commanders of their power to overturn legal decisions or lessen sentences handed down by judges and juries at courts martial.

People are clear cutting property and leaving behind downed trees,piles of limbs and unwanted wood. Leaving behind eyesores and causing land prices to drop in the area near the cut.Some land owners don`t live near the area thats been cut so they don`t care about the way it affects others.

As a former Ombudsman for Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties and as a physician involved in long-term care, I am deeply concerned about legislation that is in committee in the State House to further weaken Nursing Home residents and their families rights to be adequately compensated for injuries caused by neglect by limiting corporate accountability.

Auger's Resort has exceeded their building density and are asking for a zoning change to allow more RV trailers and cabins on their site. The lake association believes that this would negatively impact the lake's quality, and we are opposing the expansion.

To continue to create healthier, safer air to breathe it seems like a Basic plan to cut down the amount of Cigarette smokers. To Triple the taxes/cost or even Quadruple the taxes/cost of cigarettes would definitely encourage young people to think twice before purchasing cigarettes. As a long ago reformed smoker I realize how precious each and every breath is. Both my daughters took an active part in Cancer Prevention projects and one of them was employed by the American Cancer Society for over 4 years fighting for Cancer Education and Prevention. A more prohibitive taxing/pricing in cigarettes would also possibly decrease the number of packs consumed by those whom still smoke. We need to take an even stronger stand for cleaner air for us and future generations to breathe. The "extra" monies garnered by increased cigarette taxes/prices could be added to current Health Care Insurers to lower the cost of Health Care in America and also strengthen our Education in schools to Stop children from seeing smoking as a "cool", adult (?) activity.
