  Michaelann Land — Authority: 123
  Springfields Worthington St.Shelter broke ground last week for a new resource center, a rehab of the existing shelter, and 32 efficiency apartments.  Its been a very long time coming, and  completion may still be affected by funding shortfalls.  In theory, 32 homeless people now living in the shelter will move ...

  "If you wouldnt want to drink it, why would you want to breathe it?"  That very reasonable question by a Greenfield resident to the Greenfield Appointment and Ordinance Committee at a public hearing last Monday summed up the concerns of the 100 people in the Greenfield Middle School auditorium.. Greenfield is one of ...

  Michaelann Land — Authority: 123
  This is not quite the post I was going to write for Bloggers Unite s BlogBlast For Peace ~ Dona Nobis Pacem, which is today.  I was going to start by writing about the "Withdrawal from Iraq" widget at the top right corner of my blog and how just about every day I think about removing it because somehow it seems to ...

• Some quick thoughts on Springfields new city council

  
  Michaelann Land — Authority: 123
  The bad news: The power of at-large incumbency continues to rule.  All four incumbents were re-elected; newcomer Thomas Ashe won a seat (and came in third of the five in number of votes) Almost 2,500 votes separatied the lowest ranking incumbent, James Ferrera III,  from the next top challenger, Vera OConnor.  No ...

• "Begging" online-- whats left after more homeless cuts?

  
  Michaelann Land — Authority: 123
  Driving through the South End yesterday,  I noticed that the can recycling center on Main St. is closed.  How far away do people with shopping carts have to go now to redeem their bottles?  Its funny that no matter how poor the average person may feel, he doesnt feel poor enough to keep from tossing that can in the ...

  Those damn rich people were in town today, giving a round of cheers to Bay State Medical Center for hiring a union-busting law firm and to Health New England for  its membership in America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the lobbying group trying to turn health care reform into a government subsidy for their ...

• “KYC” and “Suitability” Violations Occur All Too Often on Wall Street

  
  Sense on Cents — Authority: 561
  “We’re in the moving business, not the storage business!!” If I had a nickel for the number of times I heard that line on Wall Street, I’d have a lot of nickels. That statement would coarse across many trading floors to push salespeople to sell, sell, sell and sell some more. The sales process on Wall Street ...

• Anti-biomass work has taken over my life

  
  Michaelann Land — Authority: 123
  I was looking at the stats for how many posts Ive written recently and its not what I would like. Seems like Im spending so much of my time recently talking on the phone, at meetings and writing/answering emails about biomass that by the evening, Im just out of words for my blog. I can change that, though. Last ...

• STUPID Public Works! Burning rubber or what?

  
  Michaelann Land — Authority: 123
  Im tired, but Ive just got to write this. When I headed off to a meeting this morning, I noticed tire marks on the street where I live that looked like someone had been burning rubber. "Stupid people," I thought, although I couldnt remember hearing any noise like that either last night or early this morning. It ...
