About one-fifth of the city's water pipes were installed before 1931 and nearly all will reach the end of their useful lives in the next 15 years. They are responsible for close to half of all water main leaks, and replacing them is a looming, $1-billion problem for the city.
So Scott Walker's doing it, and he is running away, and these clowns on our side don't even understand it yet. Stop and think. Here's a guy that's won three elections in four years in a blue state. He has neutered the employees union, teachers union. He's got the support of the majority of people in Wisconsin. You would think at Republican headquarters and consultant headquarters they would be eager to find out how he's done it. But instead he's looked as somebody that might upset the applecart. It's gonna boil down to how much money he can get from the donor class.
After seeing his support tumble in recent presidential polls, Walker sought a favorable contrast with his GOP rivals by emphasizing his contention that he has a more detailed plan for the presidency.
That plan, Walker said, involves bringing the same upheaval to the nation’s capital that he brought to Wisconsin’s. [emphasis added]
“ We’ve got a plan to wreak havoc on Washington, and our plan starts on day one,” Walker told a crowd of more than 150.
By all accounts, Kewaunee was performing well and was prepared to operate another 20 years after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission renewed its license several years ago.
What doomed Kewaunee was the low price of natural gas in the wholesale power market, just at the time the Wisconsin utilities that bought power from Kewaunee were in negotiations to renew long-term power purchase deals. Both utilities are turning instead to natural gas power plants.
In laying out how states could pursue emission reduction strategies, the EPA stressed flexibility, Meier said. The agency also set a less difficult target to reach for those states that rely most heavily on coal. Wisconsin's goal was the 15th most lenient in the country, he said.
Walker said he did the same thing when he changed Wisconsin’s collective bargaining laws early in his first term as governor. He promised similar action with federal employees if he becomes president.
“You can pay what you have, you can call whoever you need to call, go to an A.T.M. if you need to, do what you need to do,” Judge Richard A. Diment of Bowdon Municipal Court said to one defendant. “Call friends, call family, call your employer. But until you get $300 here tonight, you won’t be able to leave.” The defendant said she had recently begun working at a supermarket and had $150 with her.
To another defendant, a man who said he had been unemployed for two years and received food stamps, Judge Diment said: “You’re going to have to figure out a way to get this paid, do you understand me? Or you’re going to go to jail. One or the other. You understand?”
"Gov. Walker has always believed marriage is between one man and one woman and has consistently said that states should have the right to define marriage under the Constitution. As president, he will enforce the law, which means also protecting the religious liberty of all Americans." [emphasis added]
"If he were elected president, Governor Walker would work to lower the tax burden, improve take-home pay, and make tax levels competitive for job creators, all with the goal of returning growth to the American economy." [emphasis added]
We need to change the tone in America from chants and rallies that fixate on racial division and instead follow the example of the families of the victims of the Charleston shooting, who showed us the best path forward is through unity. As president, that's what I'm going to do to make us a united America once again." [emphasis added]
(1) We need a President who – on the first day in office – will call on Congress to pass a full repeal of ObamaCare.
(2) We need a President who will approve the Keystone pipeline on the very first day in office and then seek to level the playing field for all sources of energy.
"If you want a president who is going to wait some time even though they know something is wrong today, then he's probably your candidate. f you want someone who knows today it's a bad deal and is not gonna wait until the folks in Washington tell you it's alright and, who is going to do what’s right immediately on the very first day in office [tearing up the agreement with Iran], then I'm your candidate."
Cutting costs in restaurants is nothing new, of course. Eatsa brings to mind automats, the waiter-less restaurants that are a cross between a cafeteria and a vending machine. They are still found in Japan and some parts of Europe. (The last Horn & Hardart automat, in New York, closed in 1991.) Mr. Friedberg says Eatsa goes well beyond that, by using software and supply chain innovation to fundamentally change how a restaurant runs.
Ms. Carne left “Laugh-In” in 1970. [The show ran until 1973.) The sock-it-to-me label had become trying to live with, she said; people would douse her with water on the street.
That year she starred in a Broadway revival of the musical “The Boy Friend,” but her life began spiraling out of control as a drug habit grew worse. She was arrested several times, and as a result she wasn’t being cast as readily as she had been, and her nightclub bookings dried up.
The project is the latest chapter in the life of the building, which was completed in 1894. One of Philadelphia’s first high-rises, it was once home to residents made wealthy by Philadelphia’s manufacturing boom of the early 20th century.
It later became the city’s first racially integrated hotel under the ownership of the eponymous Father Jealous Divine, an African-American spiritual leader who bought the property in 1948. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 but then gutted by the last owner, leaving the bare brick and timbers that are visible inside today.
The prairie chicken has urgently needed help for some time. Almost a million of them once roamed the coastal prairie of Texas and Louisiana. But by 1919, the birds had disappeared from Louisiana, and in 1967, with only 1,070 left, the chicken, in fact a type of grouse, was listed as endangered.
Since then, its numbers have declined precipitously, despite a vigorous captive breeding program and painstaking efforts to protect young chicks in the wild. In 2002, the yearly count of the birds by the federal Fish and Wildlife Service, which runs the refuge, dipped to 40, an all-time low. This year’s total was 104.Of related interest:
Trump has previously said if elected president he would “love” to have Palin as a member of his cabinet.
Not for the exposition so much, but simply for all that's said and done, especially by Frank Sinatra as the bachelor and David Wayne as his envious married friend. These two gentlemen have a capacity to turn the crisp, idiomatic lines of Julius Epstein's adaptation into cheerfully sparkling repartée. And when it comes to such a thing as conveying the immensity of a celebrating brawl through the gloom and debris of the morning after, you'll not get it better than from these boys.
“I loved to party with the Rat Pack, they were so much fun. All they did was have a good time. We’d get off work at two in the morning and hang out at a club and listen to other performers. I loved Frank Sinatra. If he liked you it was forever, and if he disliked you – I wouldn’t want to be there.
“When we worked together on The Tender Trap I was engaged to marry Eddie Fisher and Frank took me to lunch and said: 'Sweetie, don’t get married. Don’t marry a singer. We’re nice guys but we’re not good husbands.’ But Eddie was a darling boy and at the time I loved him very much. Of course Frank was right.”
However, the Public Policy poll shows Graham’s presidential campaign has hurt the senator at home, Jensen said, noting Graham’s approval rating has fallen to 36 percent from 54 percent in a February Public Policy poll.
And some Christian conservatives, whose congregations are increasingly filled with immigrants whose first language is not English, said Republicans needed to publicly denounce Mr. Trump’s tactics.
