You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Nonsense anyway. Let these people pay their debts like other hard working Americans.
ReplyDeleteSo basically, the county council can pass any resolution or ordinance it wants but McClure can ignore it if 'he' claims it is not appropriate. Your sugary sweet defense of this little big man is nothing if not entertaining, you should get a check. Or maybe you can sit next to Krafty on council.
ReplyDeleteIn the approved 2024 HR operating budget the line item for Miscellaneous Employee Benefits is $550,000. In the proposed 2025 budget the same line item is $50,000.
ReplyDeleteNot that difficult to implement. Agree to a reasonable annual dollar amount per eligible employee then create an application process similar to tuition reimbursement.
A total waste of money.
ReplyDeleteThey're waiting, because Biden/Harris have promised to eliminate student loan debt (i.e. make others assume that debt). That way, 63% of families who didn't incur college debt for worthless degrees, will pick up the tab. Bidenomics.
ReplyDeleteTell me you don't understand federal fiscal policy without saying so.
DeleteWait, wait, next you're going to compare federal spending to a household budget, right?
That was Cusuck's sucky initiative. Get rid of it. Completely unfair for those who don't have loans.
ReplyDeletePoliticians always mess with the people's money, and they get away with it.
ReplyDeleteSince when do you take a loan out and then not pay it back? When is someone going to do something about these colleges that raise tuition at 3 times the rate of inflation over the last 25 yrs?
ReplyDeleteannon7:44, you hit it on the head in your hatred. McClure hated Cusick because he saw through Mclure and Barrons BS, especially with money. McClure wanted democrats on council to not vote for any Cusick initiative. If this had been McClure or an approved democrat's idea McClure would have crowed about it like he does everything else.
ReplyDeleteYour excuse for McClure is ridiculous and is anti-democratic government. You are an advocate for strong man tactics from a county official who thinks he is something more? Too bad.
Ah, it was a dumb, unworkable idea meant to steal money from affordable housing which is desperately needed, and you can thank Lucille Heffner for that.
DeleteAt this point, the politics is irrelevant. It was passed and signed into law. There was no veto. Due to lack of implementation, we are potentially poised to collectively miss out on up to a 500K employee benefit.
