    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    On Prop 4

    One of the most evil efforts by unions in recent times has got to be the Prop 4 initiative.

    Using the "Keep home care safe" canard, these rotten thieves are literally asking for permission from Michigan voters to steal from those who can least afford it.  They are asking voters to endorse a harder life for the handicapped, the unfortunate, and looking to kick them when they are down. A yes vote would be akin to removing the wheels from a paraplegic's chair.

    Under Jennifer Granholm, they (the unions and her administration) did it, and Snyder's failure to FIRE former head of community health Olga Dazzo right away gave these reprobates the courage to keep this farce alive through court action.  In the meantime families of those afflicted with debilitating conditions must suffer a little longer. The mass fraud her administration perpetrated, ought to have seen our former governor and her toadie lt. behind bars.

    Its that bad.

    Just imagine, life is clicking along fine, then something happens to a family member. Something that takes their ability to provide for themselves, or even perform the most rudimentary tasks.  A decision is made to either institutionalize them, (at great cost to the taxpayer typically) OR a career is suspended, and a job is given up by a family member to personally handle the situation.

    We have made the decision as a state that we will provide that safety net, as it meets the definition of truly needy. IF we are going to provide assistance, that is an appropriate use. The better alternative for taxpayers is chosen.  Keeping folks in their homes is by far less expensive, and offers the afflicted a dignity seldom found in the institutional environment. As family members take on those responsibilities, it quite obviously comes at a cost.  A stipend is provided by the state to pay those family members for the loss of income they incur.

    Then someone walks in the door and steals the silverware.

    And It Has Been Mentioned

    In a comment to a previous posting:

    . . . Article 1, Section 10 of that same U. S. Constitution:

        "No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation ..."

    No modifiers, no qualifications, no "consent of Congress" clause . . . nothing.

    Even the president must have consent of the US senate before entering into a treaty.  And if one looks at the Lefty cheerleading media, one might find cheerleading liberal democrats extolling the virtues of our one term potentate.

    There is nothing more exhilarating than allowing the socialist neighbors to put down a Michigan business that pays Michigan taxes, employs Michigan workers, and spends money in Michigan, right Rick?  What did they pay you? Where are the accounts?  Why the obsession with giving CANADA the upper hand?

    2014, Nerd.  Time to go.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Breaking!! SEIU Scam Nearly Over!

    Tags: Theft, SEIU, Labor, Unions, Michigan, SB1018, HB4003 (all tags)

    Don't ever let a liberal tell you he or she gives two whits about the truly needy.

    Michigan has been fighting a battle that should never have been fought.  It is nearly over now, and after nearly $30,000,000 has been taken from the pockets of those who could least afford the theft, the Senate leader has relented and allowed the vote, and subsequent passage of SB1018. Because the house version of the bill HB 4003 is so similar, it should be expected to reach the governor's desk nearly immediately.

    The scam came as a result of an inter-local agreement arranged by the former governor's office, and the hokey work around in defining employment based on contract labor.  Unions, and their willing accomplices in state government ceded the rights of the independent contractors who provide care services to a previously unknown place as employees of the state.  This allowed for the vote establishing a union to represent the new "employees" and begin withdrawing dues from their contract payments.  Child care workers, and home health workers were all affected if they received payment for their services from the state of Michigan.

    Nearly all of them had no idea what was going on until the money was being held back.

    In January of 2011, Maura Corrigan, former Michigan Supreme Court Justice, and the newly installed DHS director, rightly declared the child care workers were NOT employees of the state, ending their nightmare, but the Director of the Department of Community Health Olga Dazzo had no such plans.  This required further legislative action to clarify the status of the contractors.

    "Skim Tracker" Points out Failure of Michigan Senate


    By JGillman, Section News

    Tags: Theft, SEIU, Labor, Unions, Randy Richardville, Puppet, Tool, RINO (all tags)

    The Capitol Confidential "Skim Tracker" continues to show escalating costs to the state's home health care workers who were placed into the SEIU by the criminal enterprise known as the Granholm administration.  It is composed of two parts:
    The first counter tallies SEIU dues skimmed since the union and state officials first launched this scheme in 2007. The second shows the amount skimmed since June 9, 2011, when the Michigan House passed and sent to the Senate a bill to ban this and all similar "stealth unionization" efforts.

    Of course with the Senate firmly in control of the labor puppet Randy Richardville, don't expect any action straightening this mess out anytime soon.  Add to this the milquetoast R Snyder will not likely put any pressure on Richardville to get this off to a vote either.

    Fact of the matter is, any substantive reform in labor should not be expected until a vote of no-confidence for the senate majority leader is held, and he is removed from his powerful post.

    And the theft continues to grow.

    Rise of embezzlement in campaign accounts

    Promoted because I can totally see this happening in the Michigan Democrat Party as well ~

    There's a very interesting and disturbing story in Bloomberg News that hits close to home with me. I've long been preaching about how important it is to get a good and trustworthy treasurer if you are running a campaign or forming a PAC. Some of my previous posts on this area are as follows.

    Shameless business plug for my company, posted in 2009

    2006 - What not to do. This was one of the inspirations of me forming the business.

    From 2008 - Report on an embezzlement

    From Bloomberg


    Representative Susan Davis' latest letter to supporters said: "We have been robbed!!"

    Davis, 67, is one of several California Democrats whose campaign accounts were allegedly looted during the past year by their treasurer, Kinde Durkee. On Sept. 10, Davis sent out the appeal to begin rebuilding her account.

    Five days after Durkee's arrest in Burbank on Sept. 2, Representative Frank LoBiondo's former campaign treasurer was sentenced to 30 months in prison for embezzling more than $450,000 from the New Jersey Republican's campaign committee.

    As candidates raise more money for their campaigns, there is greater opportunity for nefarious treasurers to embezzle campaign cash from politicians accustomed to putting their careers in the hands of consultants, aides and volunteers, said Michael Toner, a former Federal Election Commission chairman.

    Michigan Should Honor Legitimate Contracts


    By JGillman, Section News
    Posted on Wed Mar 09, 2011 at 04:18:58 PM EST

    An amazing thing happens when someone is promised one thing based on a particular constituency occupying the government. When unions sell their worth to the membership, they sell it in the way that God might breathe life into our bodies; as a right that no man shall abridge. They work hard to procure contracts that both 'guarantee' wages, and protect a particular lifestyle, in a way that is permanent.  We've all heard the living wage argument and claims that unions built the middle class.

    Now don't get me wrong.  I am a firm believer in contracts. I ARE A RULE OF LAW GUY.

    If a contract is created between parties, those parties ought to be bound to the terms of the contract.

    Makes sense right?  As an example, if I voluntarily agree to terms that bind me to a particular end (like paying on a phone contract),  in exchange for something else (the use of the phone service at a particular rate), then I should be held to account for the terms of the contract agreed upon.  If a termination of the contract results in one of the parties violating their obligation, then they should be held to the punitive measures agreed upon when entering the contract.

    Yes, I believe in contract.  Morality is best served through the honoring of established agreements.

    UAW Sues itself... and you.

    Tags: GM, Unions, UAW, Government, Theft (all tags)

    The UAW has filed a lawsuit seeking $450 million for pensions related to the sale of Delphi, and has named General Motors as a defendant.  Nothing abnormal about labor unions hitting up the deep pocketed car companies for promises presumably made while negotiating with executives long gone..

    GM breached a contract promising to fund a voluntary employee beneficiary association, or VEBA, for Delphi retirees, according to the lawsuit filed yesterday in Detroit federal court. General Motors, Delphi's former owner, made the promise in 2007. The court overseeing Delphi's bankruptcy approved the agreement in October 2009, the union said.

    In October, "the UAW made a written demand that the company honor its contractual obligation to make the foregoing payment to the DC VEBA," the union said in its complaint. In November, "that UAW demand was rejected and since that time the company has failed and refused to make the contractually required payment."

    Amazing what happens as soon as GM announces it has a billion bux to work with.
