Forsyth County leaders should be ashamed for the taxpayer-friendly changes put into the NHL proposal

Last year, a new developer, Vernon Krause, began openly talking about bringing the NHL back to Atlanta for the third time. In his vision, there would be a new 20,000-seat arena and a $2 billion “mixed-use development featuring hotels, retail, residential components”. The name of this area would be called the “Gathering at South Forsyth”. After constructing the arena, the following would occur: 1…

i used to live in illinois. there are several joined cities there. twin cities. the two i knew of were joined to Japanese cities.

it was a very real heartfelt thing. there were big plaques and markers.

there was a very real warmth and human connection that was uplifting.

You know....like, actuelly, You guessed it- Love.

i was just thinking wouldn't be great if towns and cities had city council membres and community membres bring proposals for this, but for Iranian cities.

i realise it might be easier after the revolution is done. but wouldn't it be expressing more Love and faith and hope if these things were put into the discussion and planning phase now?

can't You just picture it?

new city gouvernements all around Iran receiving requests to forme twin city designations?

the rejuvenation of hope and Love and connexion to the world beyond Their parte of the world?

WE CAN SO FLOURISH AND BLOSSOM LOVE :)))

You're feeling it, right? :)))

2022 Election - Board of County Commissioners District 5

2022 Election – Board of County Commissioners District 5

Commissioner Mariella Smith worked to prevent a road extension through the Lower Green Swamp Nature Preserve. This one is a no-brainer. I spoke with both candidates, and man, what a difference. Mariella Smith, the Democratic incumbent had a clear understanding and command of the real issues facing Hillsborough County. She talked about the 250,000 cars per day that drive into Tampa caused by…

A young woman sticks her head out the window of a bus which had just arrived in Paducah, Kentucky. She was posing for LIFE magazine photographer Ralph Crane for a 1952 story on the town, which had been dubbed "The Atomic City": in 1950, the US government selected Paducah as the site for a large uranium enrichment facility which grew the town considerably during the Cold War.

I hate to shake my can again, especially so soon after last time, but I'm tight on transportation money AGAIN and have to repair my car AGAIN (it had an unplanned problem I gotta fix asap and two more down the road that are less important). I'm more so concerned about making sure I can get to work this week since i dont have to worry about rent coming out of my check friday, next week shouldn't be a problem (beli ayin hara ptoo ptoo ptoo), which comes up to worrying about roughly $60-72. I'll have to shell out more for the mechanic and won't enjoy it but should be able to cover it (I was able to get the part last week on payments and my mom said she'd help split the cost on labor, which he guessed might run close to 400$ but hasn't been solid on), however I won't refuse extra help.

Hi!!! I’m a full time college student looking to make a little extra money to help pay my tuition and rent. My current job has cut my hours down to nothing and I’m barely scraping by. SO I decided to put myself out there and do some small side commissions! At least until I can find a better job. I know I have little to no presence on here but I thought I would try shooting my shot! Pricing and examples will be under the cut! ALSO!! If a commission exceeds $8 I will be donating the difference to a family in Gaza, (there will be multiple families I’ll be choosing from.) Because while I would be eternally grateful for anything I may make from this, I cannot in good faith except anything when there are others out there truly suffering. Even if you can’t commission me THAT’S OK! If you could just like reblog and maybe even fallow that would be AWESOME!!

#OTD in 1922 – The Parliament of the occupied six counties of Northern Ireland opt out of the Free State.

The parliament of Northern Ireland exercises its option to opt out of the Irish Free State and petitions King George V: “MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN, We, your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Senators and Commons of Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled, having learnt of the passing of the Irish Free State Constitution Act, 1922, being the Act of Parliament for the ratification of…

every one is waiting for the Big Change that Starts the Revolution but no one wants to go to city council meetings

The Shelby County Board of Commissioners in western Tennessee voted unanimously to send Justin Pearson back to the Tennessee House of Representatives.

The far right Republican supermajority in the Tennessee House voted to expel Justin Pearson and another black Democrat Justin Jones late last week. Rep. Jones was reinstated earlier this week.

County officials in Memphis voted unanimously on Wednesday to reappoint Justin Pearson to the Tennessee House of Representatives, less than a week after the legislature voted to expel him and another Black Democratic lawmaker for participating in a protest against gun violence.

The Shelby County Board of Commissioners, which was tasked with appointing someone to fill the seat, convened to discuss reappointing Pearson and voted to send him back to Nashville. Pearson addressed the commissioners and dozens of supporters who assembled at the meeting.

"Nashville thought that they could silence democracy, but they didn't know the Shelby County Commission," Pearson said to cheers following the vote. "So the message for all the people in Nashville who decided to expel us: You can't expel hope. You can't expel love. You can't expel our voice. And you sure can't expel our fight. We look forward to continuing to fight, continuing to advocate, until justice rolls down like water, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Let's get back to work."

Before the vote, Commission Chairman Mickell Lowery told CBS Memphis affiliate WREG that many commissioners wanted Pearson to be reappointed. All seven of the assembled members voted to reinstate him.

The GOP supplicants of the NRA thought they could shut down talk of gun reform after the massacre at the Covenant School by silencing protests against Tennessee’s extreme permissiveness when it comes to carrying guns and owning military-style assault weapons. Instead, GOP arrogance created a major embarrassment for the state with the legislature acting like Putin’s State Duma in Moscow.

Pearson still has to run in a special election to make his return to office permanent. But because Republican gerrymandering packed his district overwhelmingly with Democrats, his re-election is largely a formality.

The Federal Election Commission is asking New York Rep. George Santos to declare whether he plans to run again in 2024 after the Long Island Republican crossed a post-election fundraising threshold that now requires him to make a formal declaration.

In a letter to Santos, the FEC says he has until March 14 to “either disavow these (fundraising and spending) activities by notifying the Commission in writing that you are not a candidate, or redesignate your principal campaign committee by filing a Statement of Candidacy.”

According to an FEC review of Santos’ filings, his campaign committee “has no debts from the previous election cycle and has accepted contributions and/or made expenditures in support of your 2024 candidacy in excess of $5,000, thus meeting the definition of ‘candidate’ per Federal Election Campaign Laws.”

This new round of scrutiny comes as the embattled freshman is expected to face an investigation by the House Ethics Committee, which could further imperil his chaotic political career. Santos’ congressional tenure thus far has been dominated by questions about his repeated fabrications about his background and resume. The FEC letter marks his latest brush with the commission, which has flagged issues with some of his previous campaign finance reports, including questions about loans, expenditures and officials listed on filings.

Were Santos to confirm he plans to seek reelection, what has become a headache for national and local Republicans will likely intensify. He has already been disavowed by the Nassau County GOP, which is facing backlash following his election after two years of hard-fought local gains. A handful of Republican members from the state’s House delegation have also called on Santos to resign. Back home, the picture is even more bleak, with 78% of voters – including more than 7 in 10 Republicans – in his 3rd Congressional District saying he should resign, according to a recent Newsday/Siena College poll.

The FEC requires any individual who has raised or spent more than $5,000 on a campaign for federal office to register as a candidate within 15 days of reaching that mark. Any such candidate, including incumbents like Santos, must file a statement of candidacy with the commission each electoral cycle.

Santos’ FEC filings show that he’s raised and spent tens of thousands of dollars since the midterms, easily triggering the commission’s requirement for a statement of candidacy. Most incumbents promptly file statements of candidacy for the following cycle even if they don’t intend to run, to avoid running afoul of FEC rules.

But the scandal surrounding Santos has added additional weight to the formality.
