Governor Kasich signed Ohio HB487 declaring it no longer requires Social Workers in Long term care Facilities with less than 120 beds. It is described as loosening the regulations for Nursing Homes. Apparently we are taking a huge step backward in caring for our elderly... again placing Psychosocial needs of people behind. Now Nursing Facilities will be free to hire untrained staff to address these areas.... all in an effort to save a few dollars of profit for the for-profit healthcare industrial complex. Because we certainly know Social Workers salaries break the bank!!!!

Columbian Sq. in South Weymouth is a very busy square to try and drive thru as there are no lights, there is very poor signage where traffic converges from four directions. This problem has existed for many years. The public constantly complains, but nothing changes.

According to the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, which was reauthorized as Title X, Part C, of the No Child Left Behind Act (P.L. 107–110), the term “homeless children and youths” means individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence includes: (i) children and youths who share the housing of other persons because of loss of housing, economic difficulties, or other similar reasons; those living in motels, hostels, trailer parks, or camping grounds because they lack alternative adequate accommodations; those living in temporary housing such as emergency or transitional shelters; being abandoned in hospitals; are waiting to be placed in foster care; (ii) children and youths whose primary nighttime residence is a public or private place not designed for or generally used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings [within the meaning of section 103(a)(2)(C)]; (iii) children and youths who are living in automobiles, public spaces such as parks, bus or train stations, or other type of public areas, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, or similar settings; and (iv) migratory children (as defined in section 1309 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965) who qualify as homeless because the children are living in circumstances described in above conditions (i) through (iii).

I envision a nation wide MonoRail system running down the middle of the Interstate Hwy system. Why on that right of way? The grading is already done, so are the interchanges and there are pylons in place to tie in the MonoRail pylons and the concrete rail bed. Consider the advantages: Employment for millions, concrete mfg, rail-car design & mfg, electric engine mnfg, train maintenance, system maintenance, dramatic reduction of fossile fuel consumption (airplanes consume incredible amounts), safety, ease of transit for families, lower cost of transit, movement of goods (required to use the system), taking long-haul trucks of the hwys, convenience, reduction of foreign oil consumption (Mid-east conflict eliminated), greenhouse gas reduction (affecting global warming), automobile reduction (those companies could build coach frames etc. instead) and drastic reduction of undue influence of "Big Oil"----and many other advantages.

Free speech is a fundamental right enshrined in the First Amendment of the US Constitution. On June 13th during a debate of House Bill 5711on the floor of the Michigan House, Representatives Lisa Brown and Barbara Byrum used the words vagina and vasectomy in their eloquent and courageous speeches. Apparently, these medically-correct terms are shocking to the Republicans who control all three branches of the Michigan government. As a result, Speaker of the House Jase Bolger along with Majority Floor Leader Jim Stamas have stripped these eminent legislators of their first amendment rights to free speech. No reason for their censure was given other than decorum must be maintained. No length of time for this punishment was provided. We demand that the censorship of Representatives Lisa Brown and Barbara Byrum be lifted immediately and that Speaker of the House Jase Bolger and Majority Floor Leader Jim Stamas issue a public apology to these outstanding and courageous women.
