    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.

    Once Gov. Mitch Daniels signs the right-to-work bill into law - and that's likely to happen Wednesday, his spokeswoman said - Indiana will become the 23rd state with such a law on its books.

    The state Senate approved House Bill 1001 on Wednesday on a 28-22 vote. It was the last legislative step necessary on a measure that bars businesses and unions from negotiating contracts that require non-members to pay dues as a condition of employment.

    For Michigan business leaders choosing freedom, your point of contact begins here.

    Governor Daniels and Indiana Republicans, congratulations!

    6 in 10 Rebuke GoverNerd Agenda Once Again

    Just like his unnecessary Boondoggle Bridge (page 13), the GoverNerds' gas tax and fee hike is opposed by 58% in Michigan.  Via detnews.com

    A poll says a majority of Michigan voters oppose the idea of raising gas taxes and vehicle registration fees to fund road and bridge improvements

    The poll results released Monday show 58 percent opposed, 36 percent in favor and 6 percent undecided.

    Michigan motorists would be asked to pay higher fuel-related taxes and vehicle registration fees under proposals introduced in the state Legislature. The package would raise an estimated $1 billion more each year for the state's roads and bridges.

    I'd just dread being a Republican Legislator in Lansing going into an election year with this disaster of a Governor.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Indiana Right-To-Work Vote Set For Wednesday

    via The Republic

    The Indiana Senate has set the stage for a final legislative vote on the contentious right-to-work bill.

    The Republican-dominated Senate on Tuesday rejected all amendments offered by Democratic senators to the bill. That action keeps the bill identical to what the House approved last week and clears the way for a final Senate vote Wednesday that would send the bill to the governor.

    The Senate approved an identical version of the bill last week 28-22 and Long says he anticipates enough Republican senators will support the proposal for it to pass despite opposition from all Senate Democrats.

    Union protesters outside the Senate chamber chanted "Let the people vote!" as senators voted down a proposal for a statewide referendum on the issue.

    The Senate approved an identical version of the bill last week 28-22 and the Republican Senate leader says he expects a similar vote Wednesday.

    Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels says he will sign the bill into law.

    The ball is now in your court Lansing Republicans...

    via The Republic

    Gov. Mitch Daniels says he is ready to make Indiana the 23rd right-to-work state as soon as a bill reaches his desk.

    Daniels also said Monday it would be a "colossal mistake" for union protesters to use the Super Bowl festivities as a national stage to oppose right-to-work.

    The state Senate is on schedule to send the measure to Daniels Wednesday following a series of votes and debate this week. The Senate labor committee voted 6-1 Monday morning in favor of right-to-work.

    Yessirree, Indiana Republicans are getting the job done in spite of their Flee-baggers.

    U-Haul and Palmer Moving are gonna be busy in Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio.

    It appears the Rick Nerdholm push-back in the Senate is finally start to happen.  Senator Jack Brandenburg-R has introduced SB 906 that if passed, will place the State Income Tax rollback again on its proper course.

    Thanks to Sens. David Robertson, James Marleau, David Hildenbrand, Howard Walker, Patrick Colbeck, Michael Kowall, Michael Green, Rick Jones, Joseph Hune, Tory Rocca, Tupac Hunter for cosponsoring.

    Leader Richardville, all eyes are watching you.

    via detnews.com

    State House Speaker Jase Bolger, R-Marshall, said Friday that the House wants to wait until after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on President Barack Obama's federal health reforms to decide its next steps on the exchange.

    "The governor and I are not in agreement on this issue," he said. "The rights of our citizens to control their own health care is more important than an IT (information technology) deadline."

    Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette is supporting the legal effort to get the federal reforms declared unconstitutional.

    State Rep. Chuck Moss, R-Birmingham, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, also said the GOP caucus doesn't want to act unless it has to.

    "We don't like Obamacare; we don't like national health care. We don't think it's good for the country; we don't think it's good for Michigan," Moss said. "We don't want to be early adopters and go down that road if we don't have to."

    Could we be witnessing Speaker Bolger growing into a leader within the Republican Party?

    Time will tell...

    Indiana Senate Passes Right To Work

    via Fox News

    The Indiana Senate has voted to approve the right-to-work bill that has prompted the legislative boycotts by House Democrats.

    The Republican-dominated Senate voted 28-22 in favor of the proposal Monday evening. The bill prohibits companies and unions from agreeing to contracts that require workers who aren't union members to pay representation fees.

    Republican Sen. Carlin Yoder of Middlebury argued the bill not only would help attract business to Indiana but also give workers freedom to decide what to do with their money.

    Democratic Sen. Vi Simpson of Bloomington questioned whether the law was needed. She says good companies such as Honda and Toyota have expanded in Indiana in recent years without it.

    Nine Republicans joined all 13 Democratic senators in voting against the bill.

    Indiana, Open For Business!

    Ready for a one term GoverNerd, folks?  This should be a bonanza for U-Haul.

    News reports indicate that Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and a majority of the Legislature are likely to act quickly on a right-to-work bill that could be introduced this week. Such a move would have significant economic consequences for Michigan.

    Right-to-work laws prohibit employers and unions from entering into contracts that make workers' financial support of the union a condition of employment. There currently are 22 states with RTW laws on the books, and research indicates they outperform neighboring non-RTW states in jobs and state economic growth. No state with a right-to-work law currently borders Michigan.

    Rest here

    Ya Rick, dog years...
