What is most likely to happen is the city is going to file bankruptcy, but in the state of PA cities can't file bankruptcy so the state will take over. The state is controlled by one of the most anti tax governors out there so the taxes wont go up but they will have to sell off the cities assets...
The mayor isn't getting paid.
The problem is the city has $130,000 to last the rest of the year and they have a loan due now that they can't pay. The mayor has put forth multiple plans from selling assets to raising taxes but the city council either votes no or doesn't even vote on the plans...
I have learned a lot from this experience like the case search website that I now use with everybody new I deal with to see what I am getting myself into. My old landlord now has 54 cases on there most in the last 10 years.
I wish I can buy but a cheap condo is about 10 times what I make in a year.
I have been in touch with 2 Lawyers the city and county landlord/tenant affairs offices (the county can't do much but the city is fully behind me and my roommate) and looking to get a lawyer to represent me since the lawyers I have been dealing with are no longer practicing in the area (they...
Man You got it easy with this one. What I am dealing with:
Illegal eviction (evicted the whole house because we filed a complaint with the city)
Not returning my deposit because my old landlord "doesn't like me'
A roommate has a peace order against her that she consented to and is now...
Have you noticed over the last few years McCain has been saying we need to go to war with whatever country that is pushing against the US, but at the same time is pushing for lower benefits for the military.
Rendell's (the former Governor) plan was to throw money at Philly that was raised by raising the car registration fee and making all the interstates toll roads. Needless to say the rest of the state didn't go for it but it did get him re-elected because he was able to carry Philly by a huge margin.
Well at least some of the bridges and roads along the Susquehanna will be fixed now that they are destroyed.
PA's problem is they had a governor that didn't want to fix anything unless it was in Philly, now they have a governor who only wants to help his cronies.
The funny thing is according to the CNN article its cut taxes to the wealthy so they can hire more people, hmm sounds like trickle down economics to me. So the repubs won't vote for it just because Obama came up with it.
They did more in a small town not far from my hometown most of the police force is being prosecuted (the police chief is being held with out bail) for covering up a hate crime (illegal immigrant was beaten to death by a bunch of teenagers). Than again the FBI and DOJ are all over the area due to...
Most of Walter Reed is moving to Bethesda Naval Med. I should know since I deal with the road work in front of Bethesda and see the work on the hospital grounds on a daily basis. It's not a soft target.
The one thing that I find funny about this whole freak out about sharia law is because of the part of the constitution they DON'T like (the whole freedom of religion thing) it will never happen in this country.
I saw somewhere there was a group of Muslim investors trying to put in a shopping...
idiocracy in full effect here. It still amazes me (I know it shouldn't by now) how stupid some people are when it comes to science. Then again he probably thinks that there is no climate change.
I work for an odd company the owners are ultra conservative, the setup for my department is office style but almost everybody is in t-shirts and jeans or more casual (I have worn board shorts and flip-flops). If you asked any of my coworkers if they wanted to be doing something else instead of...
Thanks for the info.
Where I work there is no showers so all i have for freshening up is wet ones and applying deodorant, which does get rid of the smell. I think I'll just have to stop and lose some layers, there are a few spots that I can and not lose time if I time the lights right, at...
This is my first spring riding to work how do you seasoned commuters deal with the temp change that happens this time of year? Do you strip layers off (hard for me to do because I don't like stopping), dress for the warmer temps and deal with the chill, or do you dress for the colder temps and...
I have a coworker/friend who likes to pull little harmless pranks on me all the time. So this morning before he got in I changed his desktop to a screen shot of a BSOD, hid his icons and task bar and reversed his mouse buttons. He shows up logs into his computer and all he sees is the BSOD does...
Getting a Surly Cross-Check to use as a commuter. Unfortunately my mtb doesn't get used enough to justify upgrades (hoping that changes back to the way it used to be but not counting on it).
My road bike is in need of some parts but not sure what I want to do with it since I plan on getting...
