Tempe officials are considering larger buses to replace the orbit bus! These buses are big, noisy and quite frankly stink!

In non judicial foreclosure states, Homeowners are being denied due process in the courts and while still in litigation trustees are auctioning off the property. The true owners are unknown and those claiming to be beneficiaries are allowed to sell the property. Politicians have failed to address remedy for homeowners; only we can bring attention to this injustice.

This is about Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old gunned down in cold blood for the crime of being Black and wearing a hoodie. His MURDERER has not been arrested after more than 30 days since this unpardonable crime. The criminal who committed this heinous act hasn't even denied it. He disregarded the express order from the Police to stand down and stop following Trayvon. He ignored this order, and an innocent child is dead. There is NO excuse for this murder.

Mayor Bloomberg's proposal to close 33 schools and reopen them in the "Turnaround " model with new faculty short circuits the previously prescribed solution of the "Restart" model which we were given three years to complete with federal funding. The turnaround model will remove up to half of the faculty and be disruptive to the family that is made up of students, faculty, and parents.

Taking control of one of the most important rites of passage in any family is a fundamental right that must be preserved. But, New York state gives the commercial funeral industry a legal monopoly on citizen deaths. Families who want to care for their dead privately as our great grandparents did are forced to hire a funeral home whether they want to or not, and whether they can afford to or not.

Bringing the Lottery to Utah to help with our terrible per-pupil spending.

North Carolina Amendment One is up for a vote on May 8. If passed, the constitutional amendment will harm women, children and families. It will also harm our ability to recruit businesses. Polling shows that North Carolina opposes Amendment One when they understand what it actually does and we must educate all of North Carolina on the harms of Amendment One. 1. Amendment One would eliminate the possibility of legal recognition of gay and lesbian couples. This would, in turn, threaten end of life decisions, hospital visitations, adoptions, child custody and more. 2. This amendment, if passed, would eliminate health coverage and benefits currently offered by city and county governments across North Carolina. This would strip coverage from children and unmarried couples - gay and straight. 3. Current polling indicates that North Carolinians oppose virtually everything that would happen if Amendment One passes, they just do not understand the impacts yet. That is why we must have conversations with our fellow North Carolinians about the harms of Amendment One.
