Social Security to start cashing Uncle Sam's IOUs
By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (AP) -- The retirement nest egg of an entire generation is stashed away in this small town along the Ohio River: $2.5 trillion in IOUs from the federal government, payable to the Social Security Administration.
It's time to start cashing them in.
For more than two decades, Social Security collected more money in payroll taxes than it paid out in benefits - billions more each year.
I would like to propose we rename the Road To No Where at the Marina District the
Carlton S Finkbeiner Road to No Where in honor of our previous mayor who did so little
with so much.
No! to TPS
No! to Garbage Fee
HELL NO! to new Tax, the mayor and city council
Another sad accolade for Toledo. Maybe someday things will get better.

Marge Brown the mayor of Oregon or should I say soon to be ex-mayor goes down Big in last nights election. Mike Seferian stomps Marge Brown by 61% to 38%.
Marge, see what happens when you lie and screw people over?
You lost because of you. What you did and did not do. It had Nothing to do with your son.
Not ANOTHER TAX LEVY ? YES! Another Tax lavy in Oregon. Make the local Govt. get on the state to fix it as thay promised! Until we make them, they wont. They will always take the easy way out. And add to the property taxs. NO MORE. Levy after Levy. VOTE NO!
I am hearing from some other bloggers that there is going to be big changes at WSPD.
Has anyone else heard anything?
Here's the rest of the Trevor Casey story. It seems that I was only partially right - 14 year old Trevor decided to get high on pot and run his smart mouth to the Toledo Police, with predictable results. Here's the link to the story in the Toledo Blade:

You know, I'm not a big fan of the Toledo Police, but so far I can't fault them for this one. Trevor got what he deserved, and the real crime is that the city will have to defend itself against a frivolous lawsuit.

"Mayor Carty Finkbeiner has rejected a tentative agreement reached between the Toledo Police Patrolman’s Association and his own administrators, Chief of Staff Robert Reinbolt said Wednesday night."
Does anybody believe there is a budget deficeit. A couple years ago, the Mayor's Office created a phony layoff to reduce expenses and it turned-out to be an illegal, under-cover firings for a handful of people. I don't believe there is a deficeit. Where are the auditors?

TOO.....BAD!!!!! Now he won't be able to search golf courses for the real killers any more. I'll bet he could have found them eventually.
this just in: "John McCain suspends campaigning to work on economy, requests postponing Friday debate; asks Obama do the same."
while he wont say it, I hope this is obama's response:
"Breaking News: Barack Obama says "oh, NOW that it's time to take the test, you want to do some actual studying? Too late. I'm prepared, you're not."
Oregon Mayor Marge Brown has become a victim of identity theft, but it’s not her money the thief stole. It’s her reputation.
Now, she wants it back. The mayor last week filed a police report against an unknown person alleging identity fraud, a fifth degree felony.
I sure hope King Carty does not try to steal the show when Extreme Home Makeover comes to Toledo. Carty is bad news all the time. We don't need or want him on TV. Maybe the TV show will treat him just like the DNC and Obama has! Cold, Real Cold ! The cold shoulder ! Carty, a real %$%^%&*# !!

DHL, the air delivery company, is looking to merge with, or sell out part of its operation to, competitor UPS. So what, you say? Well, it may mean the loss of 10,000 jobs at DHL's hub in Wilmington, Ohio and that has Ohio legislators up in arms.
