  • Your New Scoop Site

    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.

    Tell me again why we "need" a gas tax hike, Gov. Snyder?

Snyder comes around, MUSTFA, Michigan Auditor General Thomas H. McTavish, C.P.A, Refined Petroleum Fund Expenditures - Performance Audit, Not looking too good with how the state spends what it already collects in gas tax (all tags)

    Despite the overwhelming lack of support from Michigan Motorists, Michigan Legislators (unless your name happens to be either Wayne Schmidt or Roger Kahn), and anyone else not associated with MITA, the word on the street is that just like the Energizer Bunny, Gov. Snyder is still going and going at it behind the scenes trying to get another one of his tax hikes approved.

    This is coming from a man who loves to make local units of government jump through hoops to get money from the state.

    He'll require graphs, charts, metrics, notarized forms signed in triplicate and your mother's maiden name before even considering appropriating any money.

    Unfortunately, he still won't hold himself to the very same standard that he requires of others.

    Why is that?

    On the road again (another in a series of why Republicans will lose control in Lansing this fall).

    Less government, lower taxes and more freedom.

    Does anybody here have a problem with that?

    These people do.
