  • 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.

    A bill recently signed into law by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett - Act No. 127 (formerly Senate Bill 637), The Public Works Employment Verification Act - requires all public works contractors and subcontractors with the state to enroll in and use the federal E-Verify electronic employment eligibility verification system to verify the legal work authorization status of newly hired employees in the United States.  The text of the new legislation, which will take effect January 1, 2013, is available here: The Public Works Employment Verification Act.

    Imagine that, a swing state protecting its jobs from going to illegals?  Yes, the list grows without Michigan.  Voters in the State House 104 must be happy with their current Corporate Welfare, and illegal alien lovin' Pale Pastel sent to Lansing.  Hey! It's their guy that is responsible for obstructing HB 4024 and HB 4026 for us.  Let's see if that part of the state is dumb enough to send him back to Lansing this fall.  I'll avoid and encourage others to avoid anything that is TC like it's the plague for siding with The Left and illegals over Americans.  Guaranteed.

    Congratulations, Governor Corbett!  Rick Michigan?  Well, thanks for being the Snydholm that you promised to be for Michigan.  Can't wait for the next election to happen to you.

    Tell Me About That 'Cheap Labor' Theory .. Again

    Yet another story from upside down world that has become known as the State of Michigan, via mLive

    This year is different, with a level of fruit crop devastation not seen since the 1940s. Many growers aren't opening their camps this season, leaving migrants in a difficult situation.

    "Many migrants came to Michigan or moved into different areas of Michigan and had work earlier in the summer in strawberries and blueberries and other crops not affected by the freezes," said Mollie Schweppe, director of the Michigan Department of Human Services Office of Migrant Affairs. "Then they normally move on to picking cherries and peaches, but since those crops were destroyed they have a gap in their income of four to six weeks potentially until the late summer crops are ready to be harvested such as squash, pumpkins, I hear there's still some work in pickles, there will be some apples available." An inter-agency migrant services committee worked quickly to come up with a means of assisting these workers. The Michigan State Housing and Development Authority has allocated $172,000 of its revenue for emergency housing assistance for migrant workers.

    Through Aug. 31, the program will offer up to $400 to cover one month's rent either at a migrant camp or other rental property. The money should be able to help about 430 families, Schweppe said. Applications for the assistance must come from a household member that is in the country legally.
    ....

    Michigan has an estimated 90,700 migrant and seasonal farm workers and dependents, which includes some families that stay in Michigan year round, along with others that come from Texas, Florida or elsewhere for all or part of the harvesting season.

    Rest

    I have to ask, has there been anybody excluded or not invited to belly up to the Michigan taxpayer trough?  Anyone?  Anyone?  Hellooooo?  That must mean it's a no.  Well, I guess the upside to this is that Lansing is at least requiring a frontman to have proper documentation.  Thanks Big Agra for stuffing us with boarding your temp pool.

    Ah, apple season.  You know what that means?  Rep. "known as more of a workhorse than a show pony," it's finally safe to reach into your cellar committee where bills go to die and dust off HB 4024 and HB 4026 to send up for a floor vote.  It's OK bub, that little cherry secret is safe with me.  Just you, and I will know.

    Mum's the word.  ;-]

    Promise.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    It's Shouldn't Be Fun, Being An Illegal Alien

    Just about every reasonable, fair-minded, law-abiding citizen of the United States is of the common opinion that anyone who wishes to come to this country legally is welcome to do so.  Should such an individual (or such a family) decide during their visit that they'd like to become citizens here . . . well, we have a way to facilitate that very thing.  It will require learning about our constitution and history, renouncing one's citizenship in the country that they came from, and otherwise doing what's necessary to assimilate into our society and culture; but if that's what you want to do, then we'll happily accommodate you.  Welcome to America.

    However, those same reasonable, fair-minded, law-abiding citizens have an issue with those who would come here in clear violation of our immigration laws, compromise our national security, have no intention of assimilating, and will serve no other purpose than to be a legal and financial drain on our society.  We know the difference between "legal" immigration and "illegal" immigration, and we never confuse the two (though the left-o-sphere sure as hell does their best to make sure that the uninformed masses do).

    If State Representative Dave Agema gets his way next week, then it's going to become a tad tougher to be an illegal immigrant in Michigan.

    And after a brief musical interlude, we'll go below the fold.
