infrastructure maintenance in 2010
Keep an eye on where the city is spending the road resurfacing money. It sure is not being used on Lyons avenue. Lyons ave pavement has stated to fail and it seems should have a priority over, well lets just say over the more desirable areas in the valley.
Not the greatest moment from Obama. And even worse for the young people that he is sending to die.
He has no balls. This half measure stuff he babbled about seems crazy to me.
I do not believe in the war, but seems the troops either fight to win or come home now.
He has not seemed worried much about the budget when it comes to his domestic socialist agenda, but the war cost is troubling to him.
Government spending is surely out of control, but to make war funding the poster boy for cost control seems strange.
On thing is clear, it is about politics. King Obama needs to go.
So how does this work? WIll one seat on the NSD only stretch for two more years after the election, or will it just be a two-seat election four years from now?
mike:
I think it will just flip flop. In 2011 there will be THREE seats up like 2009. Then, in 2013 Christy and Phil’s seats will be in contention.
