Man, I really wish there was such thing as a sarcasm font.
The point I was trying to make is that I would presume that Moran would not advocate the repeal of rape and murder laws on the grounds that they don't stop rapists or murders. His reasoning is nothing more than wordplay.
Drug laws don't keep addicts from getting drugs, so why have drug laws? Laws don't keep murders from murdering, rapists from raping, or thieves from steeling. Mr. Moran needs a better excuse.
Oops! Looks like Corliss jobbed us again.. http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2012/nov... $2.91 x 1.28 = 3.72. Add the $0.28 cost for taking water out of Clinton and we get $4.00 - Does that number look familiar?
Fear not - at least with Lawrence we don't have to appoint anyone to a board of directors to run the water production and make all those pesky decisions they have to make. We can just sit back and let big brother Lawrence make all the decisions for us, and take whatever bulls@!t excuses they have to offer about their 25 - 30% rate increases. Business as usual.
I have had about the same results in the past few months. Download speeds less than 1.0 MB/s. I called Mediacom to complain and they tried to sell me phone service (typical). Once I got past the sales department, the tech people told me that they knew about the problem and had a "resolution date" (evidently a date when they expect the problem to be fixed) of March 31, 2011. Until then, they cut my bill in half. Can't complain about that too much. Waiting until April 1st to do another download speed test so I can call and gripe again when the issue isn't resolved.
Forget the $290k for the breakers. That's just nonsense.
The rate increase is just the reality of our former leaders allowing McKinney (former public works guy) to convince them that we needed to spend $6 Million on a new power plant that is used about three times a year. You can bet that the debt service on that little toy dwarfs the $25k - $33k we have received from Gardner.
Wonder why the generator in the picture looks so nice and shiny? It's because the thing is NEVER USED. It's like a $6 Million display in the Museum of Insane Decisions.
I had the same thought, hipgrrrl. I was going to post a similar rant until I realized that the old speakout is long dead, and will never return. It has been competely replaced by Facebook and Twitter. Nobody uses the new format anyway, so the weather posts don't bother me so much. At least it isn't advertising or some politician trying to get elected.

Can't support either sales tax
Wishful thinking, Jeff. I am afraid the World Company actually did kill SpeakOut. Not your fault, don't blame yourself.
