Muskegon casino info
An e-mail going around town about opposition to the indian casino plans for Muskegon.
The entire set of e-mails is in the "comments" section below.
Some of you live and/or work in the City of Muskegon. Apparently the mayor and majority of City Commissioners are unwilling to even entertain discussions with anyone ‘outside’ Muskegon---despite the fact that a casino would devastate the entire region, not just this wonderful, reviving small community. Even more unthinkable would be multiple casinos established by multiple tribes—which Commissioners’ Municipal Service Agreement made with the LDV tribe recently notes is possible.

Obama's church
No wonder the inner city culture is so disfunctional
"Senator Barack Obama is not a Muslim, contrary to invidious rumors. But he belongs to a Christian church whose doctrine casts Jesus Christ as a 'black messiah' and blacks as 'the chosen people'. At best, this is a radically different kind of Christianity than most Americans acknowledge; at worst it is an ethnocentric heresy."

Who could vote if Michigan re-does primary?
I voted for Romney. He's gone. Now I want to vote again!
Heh....
Will GOPer voters be the difference in the Michigan primary?
"Obviously they would have to make those decisions how they're going to run this, how they're going to pay for it in the next two weeks. The legislature is only in for the next two weeks, and then they go on break, and then it's too late. So, really, within the next two weeks they have to make a decision on this.'"

CARPE DIEM: Another Economist Says NO Recession
CARPE DIEM: Another Economist Says NO Recession: "We still don’t have conclusive evidence that we’re in a recession, and we might avoid one altogether.

Heights struggles to fix pervasive road problem
OK. I get it.
We let the Heights run their city into the ground, literally.
We quietly watch as they scare away all business. Wouldn't want to be called "racist" by the Chronicle, now would we.
We applaud as the Heights uses up their entire 30 year tax millage on a new school that doesn't do no educatin'.
And now the Chronicle front-pages the sad story of a bankrupt city filled with pot holes.
Grab your wallets, folks!
"If you're going to spend $90,000 to put a new roof on the Strand, but not to fix roads, that's a waste of money,' Heights resident Otis Turner complained to the city council last week"
