When I look at the proposed budget cuts for the school system I can not help noticing a few things like:

— There are no proposed cuts in pay for the superintendent's pay.

— There are no proposed cuts in pay for the adjunct-superintendent's pay.

— Both pay checks are open to some trimming, they make too much as it is for such a small school system. Besides when half your family works within the system, you have no lack of income

I had an invite several years back to a party to welcome Mr. Jeb Bush to Miami. Mr. Bush moved to south Florida to be in charge of the Republican party. Having a father whom was president didn't hurt.

The powers to be knew the governor’s election was coming soon. All the powers there knew Mr. Jeb Bush couldn't win this time, but he ran anyway and lost. But next time his chances were greater. It was all well planned. From a pipe salesman to governor in a short time with the right connections works. With his family name and the help of the runaway Cubans he was a big winner.

Kudos to WTHR (Channel 13) in Indianapolis, Ind., and Bob Segall (Eyewitness News) for revealing yet again our government’s failure to protect American interests, this time from blatant and injurious fraud perpetrated with the awareness of one of America's most vital and vulnerable institutions, the IRS.

According to Segall and WTHR-13, a loophole in the tax code allows undocumented workers to collect what is called “additional child tax credit” and is routinely claimed by families who pay nothing in taxes. You can google “Bob Segall, WTHR Indianapolis” and read this for yourself.

In all times of the world and in all nations, people have been in extreme turmoil as to what great building, or what great temple to worship God and of what popular religious name to be called.

Now, at your time of worship do as Jesus Christ suggested: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20.
