The significant issues to me are jobs creation, economic stability, war, and health care reform. So far I see nothing that makes me feel confident they are going in the right direction. <br /><br />I feel that health care was the most significant item on their agenda and much of what was proposed I would agree with but the methods used and the questions left unanswered sent up the caution flags.<br /><br />I can see the next twelve months being crucial to the nation and the administration and just maybe President Obama will be able to get his agenda modified and back on track.chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148983480015398191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051404717855702512.post-54354763973049011412010-03-05T19:43:37.089-05:002010-03-05T19:43:37.089-05:00Obama is looking pathetic with his "Please, p...Obama is looking pathetic with his "Please, please pass my signiture healthcare bill or I'm gonna have a hissy fit".

Now a proposal has been brought forth to make a land swap so that the town can have a desirable site for a new police station and someone can use the town owned land for a potential wind farm.<br /><br />I imagine that the land in question is off the tax rolls and the St. Luke's site is not. I am also making an assumption that eventually this will balance out regarding taxes with the police station being exempt and the land swapped being taxable.anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015152054870201215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051404717855702512.post-62246302721511453162010-03-05T14:59:46.316-05:002010-03-05T14:59:46.316-05:00Suo.

Lead me to a peat bog.<br /><br />I posted the following on another site - the 4,563rd best blog in Middleboro.<br /><br /><br />The question is not if expanded gaming will come to Massachusetts but what form it will take when it arrives.<br /><br />The state sponsors gaming in lotteries and race tracks. This is just another extension. The reason it exists is people want it. If they didn’t all its various forms would be dead in the water world wide. Tax it. Regulate it. Educate about it. Enjoy it. Live with it. <br /><br />All the safeguards put in for degenerate gamblers are a joke. This is conscious clearing feel good legislation. They want their fix they’ll find it. You get gaming you will get that fall out. Guaranteed. <br /><br />I have been to dozens of casinos in probably ten or more states. I have written on my experiences especially on a site I was shunned at. Hal’s posted them. LL has posted them. I’ve posted them. What I can say is that it is my opinion that the anti’s have over stated their “facts” and the pro’s have understated their “facts.” <br /><br />I’m a NIMBY but like BB I am a NIMBY with a price. That price was not even close to being negotiated nor will it ever be. IMHO the Middleboro gin mill is dead. <br /><br />The Raven was symptomatic of what you get with gaming. This is the domain of the pinky ring set. They can fly jets and have an Ivy League pedigree but so did Madoff.bogofreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12426734836015773086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051404717855702512.post-69783507238027486482010-03-05T14:32:15.635-05:002010-03-05T14:32:15.635-05:00*High Level Details on Wind Mills*

Those meetings are virtually never attended by the general public. Allin Frawley was there sitting and listening.<br /><br />IMO, he started out as an anti complainer and instigator; but has morphed into an astute listener and learner. He seems committed to taking the crash course on all the Clarking stuff that comprises Town Government.<br /><br />Randomly attending meetings like Con Com, Planning Board, Assessor and Zoning is something only wonks find interesting. Good going Allin.<br /><br />I am taking nothing away from either Earys or Spataro. Both have given much to the town and understand those related issues in detail and I respect both.<br /><br />I have been a leading voice in condemning people for wanting to be a selectman in their first foray into town government (instead of coming up through the ranks and learning the intricacies)<br /><br />I prefer candidates that run on their on merits and not the demerits of others.<br /><br />I feel compelled to give proper credit to Allin.<br /><br />I view this as three way race between Allin, Ted and Steve. Al Rullo will hopefully comfortably win his existing seat.<br /><br />Al has participated in so many of the unheralded meetings that comprise the makings of an effective selectman. I respect his poise and intelligence. He deserves a second term.<br /><br />I believe that Ted, Steve, and Allin are all running for the correct reason: to offer their services to the town instead of trying to condemn others within the town.Suo Mynonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04807128266520858472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051404717855702512.post-68808768745240151192010-03-04T17:09:32.668-05:002010-03-04T17:09:32.668-05:00Slots and casinos will be coming.

These are a few of the talking points that the administration puts forth with health care reform. These are facts that under investigation prove legitimate or as close as possible to it. This is the emotional blackmail approach that I personally find so offensive. I guess that makes me just some typical heartless, right wing. Rush loving, full scale wing nut. I disagree.<br /><br />The health care issue is a significant problem and a quick up front fix does not address long range consequences. Can the cure be worse than the disease? One point Obama and some Democrats have made is pass it now and tweak it later. Does any reasonable individual besides his blinders on cheerleaders actually expect the administration and their minions to accomplish that? Would anyone trust them after the way this whole situation was handled? Folks want reform but they do not what reform based on political expediency and whim.bogofreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12426734836015773086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051404717855702512.post-86392953465776661052010-03-04T16:10:55.486-05:002010-03-04T16:10:55.486-05:00Reading the Gazette today it appears that school s...Reading the Gazette today it appears that school staff is not very fond of the proposal to consolidate classrooms. This proposal is also being funded by stimulus money and that portion escapes me as to how this actually creates jobs? This appears to be spending money or you lose the money and that ties into the recent post by Suo on health care. If this is how money is to be spent I can just imagine what will be done with management of health care with government leading the way. The Republicans got this right.

I do not know of any politician against health care reform. The 2,000+ page mish mash montrosity of legislation speaks volumes.<br /><br />I thought Obama was going to focus like a laser beam on the economy. Instead he his again reverted to hammering the nation with health care (albeit very important.) The people have spoken. They want the the thing scrapped and and a total re-do. Most of us little folk would be willing to wait for another year for a reasonable document.<br /><br />Hope and Change? Obama has clearly changed his mind on stopping politics as usual. Two years ago he was totally against reconciliation, lobbyists serving in the cabinet and lack of transparency. I just hope he changes his mind and listens to the people between Washington DC and San Francisco.Suo Mynonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04807128266520858472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051404717855702512.post-19219778691650353752010-03-04T07:59:07.462-05:002010-03-04T07:59:07.462-05:00DeLeo does the unveiling today.
