Legislators

Funny when it comes to reducing government or doing anything about reducing the mess our government is in no one has the authority to do it. How did this country and this state get the problems we are now having? Somehow a bill gets to the Governor's or the President's desk and if he signs it or don't sign it he slits his own throat. No one asks where these "pork bills" come from. These legislators got there somehow. You can be hired but not fired? What a deal. Congress can decide that those on SS don't need a raise but can't do it to themselves cause "its already on the books" Again "who put it there" Sure like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse to me.

Dogs

Dunno why you always seem to interpret things the way you choose or you have a bad day every day. This is not a "tirade" as you choose to make it just something else that those who to choose to deny or accept according to what fits their life. I have nothing against people that are down on their luck but everyone that is on "the system" is not "down on their luck" I am saying that things should be happening to clean up the system and get people back to work and that those that can't feed their family without assistance shouldn't have animals to feed at someone else's expense.Bring jobs not dogs. I worked all my life and paid into this "system" that some have made a lifestyle and has nothing to do with people down on their luck or people worse off then me. I live on SS period and I paid into it and have to live within my means. You have a great day. I am.

Dogs

We have more families getting assistance then ever before, some about to lose the assistance because of cutbacks and the end to TANF. Large amount of people on some kind of assistance or food stamp program and now have 30 dogs to be adopted. If you can't afford to feed your family then adopting a dog should not be allowed. Anyone that can afford to smoke and feed animals should not have food stamps. All we have heard lately is how the cities are gonna crack down on people cheating the system but if your getting assistance legally and still can afford to feed a bunch of animals then that should be illegal. This state says they are gonna work on the problems then we do something as stupid as this. Its the same as to keep helping someone that can't afford the child they have but keeps on having them for someone else to support

Suicide

I did read this correctly didn't I? The news did say SUICIDE? I fail to see how the police are responsible for this. Would the person that suggested it rather he just be left alone til he decided whether to kill himself or others? He apparently was planning this or he wouldn't have had a gun and his Mother did call for police help. The training that you refer to would be what? Learning how to approach a suicidal person with a gun and get it away from him without getting shot himself? If the police had approached him and gotten shot before someone shot the man would that have been better? Just your approach to the subject is so typical of people that always see a law suit coming out of every incident or maybe a grudge against the right side of the law. Alot of people are going and have gone through tough times and can't always be blamed on someone or something else.

Prisoners

How many are we housing from other states that we could ship back so they can house and feed their own criminals and get "family visits"?
