Finance/Equities

The print media often claims that its purpose is to provide information to the citizens. Does anyone believe this?

The Bee recently sued to obtain pension information on Stan County retired employees. Public employee are also citizens. Who agrees this information should be public information?

Since the print media has the ability to decide elections, sway peoples oppinions, and choose which facts it puts in a story or leaves out, should'nt they provide the salaries of all its staff and employees?

If the  print media were concerned about quality factual reporting, all papers would be free. If the goal of papers is to inform the public of what is occuring, then all papers should be free. The cost of making papers would be paid for by Ads.

Here are a few of the girls involved with Cataline is his pole dancing video shoot.  How old are they?

We have often heard money is the root of all evil. More and more, I'm seeing the truth in that. Now our leadership that is charged with the responsibility to serve we the people are fighting over the cash. People that don't even have ownership over the money, are fighting for the green stuff that rightly belongs to you and I.

Do we live in a great Country or what?  These Dudley do rights couldn't get along to help us, if their life depended on it. I sure hope the citizens of Nevada don't mind giving their money to attorneys. 50 of them are knocking on the door right now to get in on this free ride.

Education plus a lack of commonsense = Village Idiot.

Rarely have I heard him say much about the Federal Government mess he inherited. Like his policy proposals or not, he does work in the solution every day.

OBAMA: So, now, you got folks on the other side of the aisle pointing at the federal budget and somehow trying to put that at our feet. Well, let's look at the history. When I walked in, we had a $1.3 trillion deficit. That was gift-wrapped and waiting for me when I walked in the Oval Office. Without my policies, we'd have an even higher deficit going forward. The one exception is the recovery package that we had to do in order to get this economy moving again.

So you can't go out there and charge up the credit card, go on a -- all kinds of things -- shopping sprees on things that didn't grow the economy, hand over the bill to us, and say -- then say, "Why haven't you paid it off yet?" I got that bill from you.

MID seems mired in the past when the MID Board on a vote of 3-2 turned down Del Monte Foods and Racor request fit participate in MID"s rebate program.  The disagreement is centered around MID's insistance that companies purchase rather than lease the solar equiptment.

These two companies offered to contractually re-assure MID about their concerns but after Del Monte Foods and Racor were subjected to the MID staff lawyers derision,  the MID Board voted it down.

One of the many questions I have is why hasn't the Bee written about this important "green" decision. Local companies seeking to help the environment should be encouraged not discouraged.

Directors Cecil Hensley and John Kidd along with Board Chairman Tom Van Groningen voted against extending talks with Del Monte Foods and Racor under their requested terms.

Directors Mike Serpa and Paul Warda were the two Directors attempting to diversify the MID position.

Gerrad Marsh exposed the developers "Dirty Little secret" last night. That after a negative vote by the public that the Council doesn't get a chance to weigh in before the Community Economic Development Department(CEDD)receives applications from developers.

We need to review Measure "M" and change it to allow Citizens to determine the future of Modesto and not special interests.

He pointed out that Fairview and the area along Pelandale were developed after a negative vote by the people of Modesto.

I would like to thank Gerrad Marsh for informing the people of Modesto of our Dirty Little Secret. Developers have had their way long enough in Modesto and it's time the citizens were heard.!
