Everyone knows that the income payroll tax funds Social Security and Medicare -- two vitally important programs for Americans. Cutting, reducing, or "defraying" these taxes will decimate these two popular and badly needed programs for seniors; seniors who have paid into these funds all of their working lives. Trump and the GOP have already decimated American tax reveues through their tax cut for billionaires and big corporations -- revenues badly needed for education, healthcare, combatting climate change, funding the Postal Services, to name a few needs of a healthy and vibrant democratic society. Don't let him decimate Social Security and Medicare as well.

As medical professionals we are committed to our community’s health and welfare. Serious injuries caused by police violence will come to our attention especially in the emergency room. We need a mandatory reporting mechanism that will lead to prevention of these serious injuries and deaths.

This is important because the man who terminated his job did so wrongfully and unjustly. He did not deserve to lose his job and this is being disputed with H.R. He needs proof that he is a hard working reliable employee who did nothing wrong to be terminated.

Bringing in competition where needed, as well as holding the company accountable for not offering more affordable rates for something that is a necessity (especially with home schooling during the pandemic), should not be allowed! They're taking advantage of their customers during a very trying time for everyone. Homes should not have to pay over $100/mo for internet when other companies offer the same, if not better service, for half the price! We, the people demand that Buckeye Broadband offer better rates and service. We also would like more options to create and maintain competition amongst several companies.

I believe 12 yr olds are still children and do not have the maturity or education to consent to a sexual encounter.

While the unemployment rates have skyrocketed, so has the amount of money owed to landlords. Simply making it harder to evict people is NOT stopping the bills from overflowing! Many people and families will not be able to catch up on their rent and will be evicted. Not only will this cause a crash in the economy but the homeless population will supersede anything we’ve seen thus far. Housing is a basic human right and our country must help with this atrocity that can be prevented with proper steps.

Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, public health experts have called for a nationally-coordinated testing plan backed by a serious investment as the only way to track and confront the virus. As other countries have tamed the spread, America has not—in part because Trump has decided not to invest in such a plan, as he's instead contradicted public health guidance, refused to wear masks, promoted false cures, and denied the severity of the pandemic. Now it's reported that Jared Kushner was in charge of developing a national testing plan—but when political operatives within the Trump team thought infections and deaths would hit "blue states" with Democratic governors the hardest, they didn't push the plan. They were content to let Democratic governors take the blame. The plan "went poof into thin air." Without a robust national plan in place, states have been left to fend for themselves. And people have had to wait in line for hours on end to get tested, and then wait several more days or weeks to get results—during which time they could have already spread the virus to others. Kushner is a privileged, spoiled, incompetent adviser to Trump who never should have been in charge of anything, especially a massive public health crisis.

Cause the world needs to start appreciate those of us who have been working nonstop since March. If the unemployed was able to get a extra $600 per week for 5 months than it should not be a big deal to give a one time payment of $1,000.00 or even $600.00 to those of us who have been working nonstop since March.

Originally, license suspensions were used to promote driving safety by punishing and removing unsafe drivers from the road and thereby encouraging safe driving. However, the scope of license suspensions has expanded greatly. Instead of suspending driver’s licenses only where public safety is at stake, courts now use license suspensions as a tool for collecting this unpaid traffic citation debt. These suspensions make it harder for people to get and keep jobs, often start them on a path to incarceration, and raise public safety concerns. Ultimately they keep people in long cycles of poverty that are difficult, if not impossible, for many to overcome. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. People should make restitution and pay their debts, but we believe driver’s license suspension should not be the first step to trying to make that happen. Since 2015, the states of California, Mississippi, Virginia, Texas, Montana, Idaho, Maine and Washington, D.C, have passed laws discontinuing the practice of suspending a person's driver's licenses simply because an individual can't afford to pay the ticket in the time allotted. Surprisingly, the collection of fines in these states has increased, not gone down. What they've found is that if you make it easier -- not harder -- for people to pay, the more likely they will. This can be the practice in Kansas and with this policy change, we will be a safer state and one where our citizens can adequately contribute to the economy, since they will be able to drive to jobs where they can earn a reasonable income, and subsequently stay of state-supported services. It's a policy that only makes sense and it works.

He is a divisive person who couldn't care less about New York and he is only wanting this because Dr. Fauci threw the First Pitch in Washington DC.

This dual consultant/survey model is not new. It is the model that existed throughout the 70s and 80s—a model that resulted in such poor care, it prompted Congress to pass the 1987 Nursing Home Reform Act. This law deemed it unlawful for nurse surveyors to provide facility consults, then turn around and write deficiencies and citations for advice that they, themselves, had given, due to conflict of interest. Although the CA Health and Safety Code (1417.3) allows nurse surveyors to provide instruction to facilities on occasion, it makes it illegal to provide instruction if it will diminish survey efforts. However, given the degree of facility involvement required of nurses per the new model, survey efforts will clearly be diminished, as there are simply not enough nurses in the state of CA to implement the new survey model and still have time for surveys and complaint investigations. The new survey model is redundant and represents an inefficient and wasteful use of government spending: nursing homes already have full-time Infection Preventionists on staff, CDPH has infection-control experts that can provide consults without it being a conflict of interest, and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) has Quality Improvement Organizations and Quality Improvement Networks that are already providing oversight and education on quality improvement . The new survey model is in violation of the Nurse Practice Act: the training has not been standardized, the new survey policy was not written by an RN, and Covid-infection control is out of the scope of practice of many nurse surveyors, not all of whom have the Public Health Nurse license required engage in control of communicable disease in the community setting. The new survey model is in violation of the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics, which obligates nurses not to accept assignments that place patients, or themselves, at risk, or assignments that involve conflicts of interest. Since the majority of nursing home residents in CA are minorities, the new survey model stands to further harm a patient population that is already underserved by the healthcare system, by further ignoring the healthcare and quality of life needs of CA’s many Latino, African American and Asian nursing-home residents. Implementation of this new model will severely limit the ability of nurse surveyors to hold specific nursing-home administrators accountable for their actions, or hold the nursing-home industry at large for the motivations of a business that is for-profit, and thereby lacking in incentive to provide quality care in the first place.

With so many bikes, skateboards, and scooters on the roads, danger is there. Even damage to properties in rushville from grinding.
