I posted a bulletin on MySpace to try and support our local school.
The local major media ignored this story. Joe, thanks so much for posting this! I appreciate any support your readers can provide!
I voted, lets help the locals.
Joe, I voted, and it was really pretty good compared to the one that is in first place.They are way down on votes though, you need to BEG all your readers to vote for them, then if all did, they might actually have a chance.
Damn, I hate being stuck in the land of dial-up.
Here's one for you, Joe. Wicomico County awarded the exclusive rights for cable tv to Comcast in the county in exchange for some big bucks. I believe they were to see that the entire county would have Comcast available. Having been a property owner paying taxes to the county for 28 years, I couldn't help but notice that when a housing development with expensive houses went up a few years ago, a mile and a half from my house, Comcast wasted no time making sure these new houses had access to cable tv---but they refuse to come down to my smaller deveopment just a mile and a half farther down the road.
