Thursday’s Thoughts
I’ve got some other work to do today so this post will be real quick.
Like I hinted at weeks ago, the city is naming Frank Straub, the former Public Safety Commissioner of White Plains, NY as the new Public Safety Director.
Indiana Superintendent Tony Bennett says teachers unions may have renegotiate local contracts and forego pay raises and pay more for health insurance in order to avoid layoffs.
IPS Superintendent Dr. Eugene White actually said in an interview that IPS’ money problem would be solved if they were made exempt from the property tax caps.
Governor Mitch Daniels says Indiana is still an island of growth compared to other Midwestern states, however the sea levels have risen. The full interview will be up later this weekend.
City-County Council Presidential nominee Ryan Vaughn says any proposed smoking ban will be put on hold indefinitely.

I would suggest electronic cigarettes like at http://PowerSmoking.com/91217 instead of smoking bans. Currently no laws exist to prevent smoking electronic cigarettes wherever you want such as at work if your boss permits or in the home if your spouse permits. Since it does not leave a smell or cause staining like regular cigarettes do, it is ideal for smoking inside.
