Cecelia Freimark's elderly father told her repeatedly that everything was fine with the property where he once ran his paint business. But when she drove past the place one day, she found a startling sight: A trailer from the Environmental Protection Agency was parked beside the decaying buildings of the Sondey Paint Co. in Wallington.
The Tennessee General Assembly amended the so-called "Shariah bill" this week but clearly indicated that its targets include members of the Islamic faith. Whether it was out of a failure to understand American principles of due process and religious freedom or simply fear of things not well understood, committees of the House and Senate endorsed HB1353/ SB1028 , the "Material Support to Designated Entities Act," which permits the governor and the state attorney general to publicly stamp the label of "terrorist organization" on groups that have neither committed nor planned a terrorist act.
The last bill that the Legislature approved before adjourning for the year underwent major changes in the waning hours of the session that could be worth as much as $30 million in tax credits to some companies. While most of the attention on HB2815 focused on a reduction in capital gains taxes, which Rep. J.D. Mesnard, the bill's sponsor, called the heart and soul of the legislation, a last-minute amendment pushed by Gov. Jan Brewer dramatically expanded a 2009 tax credit program.
Big Bill Hutcheson was a driving and powerful force in the labor movement as president of the United Carpenters and Joiners in the bare-knuckled days of the 1920s, '30s and '40s. He was every bit the stereotype of a labor boss. He was also a Republican, chairman of both Herbert Hoover's and Alf Landon's labor committees and mentioned as a possible GOP candidate for vice president in 1944.
Environmentalists and the state's congressional delegation are closely monitoring a controversial bill that would give the Department of Homeland Security the authority to waive dozens of federal environmental laws along the nation's borders and coastline. If enacted as written, the legislation could have a significant impact in Maine. The proposed broadening of Homeland Security power would allow the agency to conduct activities across the entire state while avoiding any one of 36 federal environmental regulations, including the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act.
NASHVILLE - The University of Memphis faces $3.5 million in "near- term" costs for safety repairs and access for the disabled, and $15 million in longer-term maintenance at the Lambuth University campus, a state report issued Thursday concludes. That money is above and beyond funding already pledged by the state and other sources.
The poet speaks of April with its sweet showers but the bitter thought of taxes due tempers the joys of spring's returning warmth - and emotions can run high. It has been widely reported that General Electric made $14.3 billion worldwide last year; $3.6 billion of that was earned in the U.S. Yet, the company paid nothing in federal corporate income taxes. Is GE getting away with something or is that report playing on our emotions? It is time to review the sometimes complex legal and accounting principles the understanding of which is at least as important as picking on the first line's poetic reference.
House Democrats muscled through legislation that would freeze the budgets of most Cabinet departments and fund the war in Afghanistan for another year. The bill would cap the agencies' annual operating budgets at the $1.2 trillion approved for the recently finished budget year - a $46 billion cut of more than 3 percent from President Barack Obama's request. It includes $159 billion for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq .
An electric co-op supplying power to customers in 48 central and southern Indiana counties could face a perilous spike in its financial load following a $120 million claim against it by insurance giant John Hancock Life Insurance Co. Bloomington-based Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative filed a lawsuit in Monroe Circuit Court Oct. 30 to block Hancock from asserting the co-op defaulted on a real estate deal the two struck six years ago. A default could not only entitle Hancock to $120 million, but automatically trigger cross-defaults in Hoosier's contracts with third parties "and could give rise to hundreds of millions in additional liabilities," Hoosier said in a request for a temporary restraining order that was granted Oct. 30.
They can't shut down for a night, and they can't turn on the "no vacancy" sign. The Maine State Prison is open 24-7.
