There has been a lot of illegal ATV street riding lately, I think this would help solve some of the problems. A dirtbike can get legalized with the proper equipment why shouldn’t something safer be allowed on the roadways of New York.

Fraudulent property posts on Craigslist effect homeowners, renters and buyers looking for new homes, real estate agents, and sometimes even neighbors or other businesses. Fraudulent posts take a photo and some information from a real property and advertise them as something they are not. Example: A home that is for sale is being advertised on craigslist for rent. When this add is responded to people are being told to drive over to the property and knock on the door. How does this affect each party? HOMEOWNERS: This causes the homeowner to be uncomfortable in their own home not knowing if they should open the door. The homeowner also now has to deal with being harassed by people in their driveways and knocking on their door at any time of day/night. RENTERS/BUYERS: Instead of finding real information, these people looking for a new place to live are mislead - are influenced to drive around wasting their time and money. Renters/buyers are now left with an uncomfortable feeling after knocking on a door that they were not meant to. This puts renters/buyers in an awkward situation at the door as well as having their time wasted and their search for a new home prolonged. REAL ESTATE AGENTS: This affects agents in many ways, they now have to spend ample amounts of time trying to have fraudulent posts removed. They need to make their clients aware that people may knock on their door which can be an awkward situation and could potentially even lose them their listing costing them time and money. Agents need to change their advertising and sometimes, even spend more time and money creating new advertisements so that the renters/buyers who were unknowingly steered in the wrong direction do not knock on the homeowners' doors. OTHER BUSINESSES/NEIGHBORS: This can affect other businesses/neighbors as well. Many of the responses from these fraudulent posts tell the unsuspecting renters/buyers to park at a neighbors house or a business next door. This now interferes with the other business/neighbors property, they now have to deal with unknowing loitering. OTHER EFFECTS: This can also be a matter of personal safety for renters/buyers looking for a new property. Some vacant homes for sale can be posted on craigslist for rent. The response from this fraudulent post can sometimes be telling the renter/buyer to show up to the property, that the property is unlocked or telling them where to find a key. This can be very dangerous to renters/buyers as they can show up to a vacant property and can be harmed or kidnapped (this is a theory as well have heard stories, we have no direct evidence of this example). Please help to remove all PROPERTY posts from craigslist for the safety, well being, and peace of mind for all parties who are involved.

For all the reasons in our text we are very concerned to lose this invaluable public education radio program for Chicago region listeners. This is the kind of programming that informs voters on the issues. And, Jerome is a skilled interviewer who asks the right questions of his guests!

Our traditional celebration honored our country. I don't want trump to cheapen our legacy of a free country and further deface the licoln memorial by speaking about himself. President lincoln sought to unite america not divide it as trump has done. If we turn off his shameful appearance , he will lose most of his audience and not get the attention he constantly craves. The media might take note and perhaps help us achieve a greater number signatures from people who agree.

Guaranteed basic income has been demonstrated to be an incredibly effective method of alleviating poverty and many ancillary problems associated with poverty. UBI is also a powerful tool in the fight for social and racial justice. Lastly, UBI is good for the economy.

Hubbard County Social Services provides support to the most vulnerable members of the community: abused and neglected children and adults. The current leadership has caused a toxic work environment, leading to over 50% staff turnover in two years. Last year, the county board decided that in lieu of investigating the problem, they would hire a consultant to find out why the department has become so dysfunctional. Since then, the board has refused to abide by the consultant’s recommendations. Between hiring and ignoring an expensive consultant and paying for interviewing, hiring, and training new staff, the county board is wasting tens of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money, all while continuing to put the community members who rely on county services at serious risk.

Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act has made healthcare affordable and efficient. If Trump-Republicans don't like it they should be forced to enroll in Trumpcare and leave those that have benefitted from the ACA the hell alone.

I live in a rural area of Lucasville OH and we have had extremely unreliable phone and internet service for years. The areas we experience trouble is Rush, Union and Morgan townships, specifically. We rely on land lines because of a lack of cell towers and reliable cell signal. There are elderly and disabled individuals who desperately need working communication services. We have been told by Frontier customer service that we are getting fiberoptic internet in our area, only to be informed later by service technicians that we will not be getting it on our road or those past us. We pay for services not being rendered. The bill comes regardless of whether or not we have service and we pay because we have no other alternatives. We are formally requesting that fiberoptic internet and reliable phone service be provided in our areas as soon as possible.

The U.S. allots over half our discretionary spending to the military. This encourages war and deficit spending while taking resources from higher priorities like environmental restoration, healthcare and education. This must be reversed.

In light of current news of nation-state interference in US elections, every state has the responsibility to safeguard its entire election process against rigging, hacking and computer errors. According to election security experts, only hand marked paper ballots, robustly audited by publicly witnessed hand counts, can protect our elections by catching tallying errors - whether due to rigging, hacking or computer error - after the fact. New York currently has no reliable path to 100% hand count, which courts have prevented even in very close elections (e.g. Johnson v. Martin, Nassau County, 2010). Currently, NYS law allows vendors to choose which voting machines to submit for certification. We need to establish an RFP process and outlaw voting machines that can print over voter-marked or voter-approved ballots - the only ones vendors are currently submitting for certification! And we need to establish a right to recount like 43 other states have in close elections or upon candidate- and voter-petition initiative. Otherwise, our elections are invitations to riggers and hackers. And now the courts have ruled that voters and reporters can’t ever see the ballot images - the photos taken by our scanners - because they must be preserved and therefore can’t be FOILed for two years - after which they can be destroyed! That must be reversed by legislation. Public display of ballot images would be a way for voters to verify for ourselves the accuracy of the computer count.
