Went by the site of the water main break referenced in this article tonight-not that it’s a big deal but the break is on North Irving Street @ Route 50.

Absentee voting should be available for everyone, like it is in Washington State.

“Perhaps the over 65 thing is an attempt to attract a Republican vote (they’d only need one in the Senate).”

Oh, they took care of that little nuisance yesterday.

Yeah, you didn’t even notice that a Democrat has introduced the House version (nor did I).

Perhaps the over 65 thing is an attempt to attract a Republican vote (they’d only need one in the Senate).

Again, why are we building an indoor lazy river when we have so many problems with basic infrastructure?

This is probably the tenth time in the last five years that water pressure has gone out.

How many more big pipes are 60+? I’m guessing we’re due for significantly more problems in the next decade, given that underground pipes generally last about 60-70 years and a large swath of the county was built up in the late 1940′s.

Apparently I was wrong. The people who voted against this were all Republicans. My partisanship blinded me. How novel!

LOL!

But given Republican desire to gut SS and Medicare, I doubt the elderly are going to remain gung ho for the GOP.

Because they vote Republican.

Really doesn’t make sense to me. If they’re capable of walking 20 miles uphill to school in the snow both ways, they should be able to vote.

Nice of someone to take a photo of our new forum member Human Leather’s home.
