You might have somewhat better PR in Lancaster.
(It would help more, of course, if you stopped using the city as a guinea pig for just how much lower in quality you can go than up north.)
But, I’m sure Ronnie, the executive director of the Lancaster Outreach Center, would love getting money from at least one developer besides Kimball Hill.
That includes apartment developers who still haven’t come through on all the verbal promises/assurances you gave the Lancaster City Council and staff, Mr. Brian Potashnik and Southwest Housing.

Another not-so-happy New Year for Lancaster: another trucking industry lawsuit?
The Lancaster City Council approved a new truck route ordinance at its Dec. 11 meeting.
Unfortunately, expect the three more-established large trucking companies in Lancaster, and the Texas Motor Transportation Association, to sue the city just like they did two years ago.
However, this time, in light of judge’s comments from that suit, the city has done an official traffic safety study. Also, I-20 access road construction, including a special truck ramp to bypass the Houston School Road intersection, should address other legal challenges.
So, will Big Trucking waste more Lancaster taxpayer money, or will it do the responsible thing?

Sorry, but some NJ teachers don’t know what the First Amendment means on church-state issues
Publicly supporting a teacher who’s already received (slap on the hand) school district discipline for teaching in class that evolution and the Big Bang were unscientific, that there were dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark and talking about how a Muslim student would go to hell is NOT a First Amendment issue.
First, courts have consistently found public school classrooms to be “captive audiences,” therefore teachers on such matters do not have the same degree of protection as they would in making their statements outside the school.
Second, union solidarity nonsense be damned in cases like this? Why is his teachers’ union supporting this guy, period.
And this is in New Jersey, not Alabama — and just 10 miles from Manhattan!!!

Apparently Harry Reid doesn’t realize Democrats won the midterm elections, domestic division
The Senate Majority Leader-elect is now officially on record as a Republican-type last-minute pork-barreling earmarker.
Given that Reid has stood accused in the media in the past three months of other shady land transactions, he’s off to a wonderful start.
Perhaps my title should better say: Harry Reid doesn’t understand why Democrats won the midterm elections.
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, who has pledged to stop “dead-of-night legislating,” did a little of his own in the final hours of this year's congressional session.
Reid slipped two home state projects into the last major bill Congress passed last week: a transfer of federal land in Nevada to state and private control that's almost two-thirds the size of Rhode Island; and a $4 million grant for a hospice. Neither had been approved by any congressional committee.

Rick Perry: Wasting your tax $$$ wth Metroplex billboards
Do we really need a bunch of Trans Texas Corridor billboards cluttering up Metroplex freeways?
In a word, no.
In a word, no.
Apparently Harry Reid doesn’t realize Democrats won the midterm elections
The Senate Majority Leader-elect is now officially on record as favoring a short-term increase in American troops in Iraq.
Reid did qualify himself by saying that should only be as part of broader withdrawal plan.
Wrong answer, Senator. Reid probably wasn’t in the military either; he doesn’t understand mission creep.
The ONLY reason something like that should be done would be as part of the withdrawal itself, to make it as safe, secure and expedited as possible.
