RT @LeahR77: For The #Ferguson Protest Challenged http://t.co/uGkp4VNpVm
The Union Label
Tuesday, I mentioned my friend Gary Gross' posts on how Democrats policies are hurting working union members in MN. But it's not just politicians that are killing jobs for the rank and file - it's Union LEADERSHIP - working in concert with Democrat politicians that are working to kill jobs for the rank and file.
Bill de Blasio has vowed to abolish Central Park carriage horses if elected mayor — but that didn't stop the union that represents carriage drivers from endorsing his campaign on Wednesday.
Now the man that THEY HELPED ELECT is trying to put their members out of work. And it is not like they didn't know about DiBlasio's crusade against the carriage drivers - it was part of his campaign.
Of course, now that they got him elected, the Teamsters are promising to fight DiBlasio's efforts.
For now, the local Teamsters chapter is making a calculated decision to oppose replacement of the carriages but not to fight the proposed vintage electric cars themselves, said Demos Demopoulos, secretary/treasurer and executive officer of Teamsters Local #553.
"We are against the thought of the electric car replacing the horse carriage industry," said Demopoulos, dismissing the idea that the horse-carriage drivers could be attracted to jobs created by the car program.
"These are all horse people," he said. "This is what they do."
First They Came For the Horses
Mayor DeBlasio is pulling out all of the stops in his quest to ban the Central Park Carriage trade. We have already shown that, but his campaign to ban the horses also shows a larger character of the far left - an extreme form of "the end justifies the means" that has long term adverse implications. In their headlong plunge to do anything to harass the drivers out of business he is using the police to hound them off the roads.....
If Mayor de Blasio insists on destroying a world-renowned tourist attraction that provides livelihoods for a few hundred workers, the least he can do is act openly and through the law.
That doesn't appear to have been the case Thursday, when an NYPD officer told horse-and-carriage drivers at Central Park they couldn't operate because of weather conditions — namely, icy roads. About 30 horses were sent back to the stables.
What makes the order so fishy is that the only living creatures in New York that were affected by this danger were horses. In other words, it didn't apply to children who made their way to schools, apartment dwellers who walked their dogs, tourists bused to their destinations and so forth.
One driver, Christina Hansen, says she saw virtually no ice or snow anywhere on the roads.
...or mob protests, the campaign to deprive the carriage drivers of their livelihood is relentless. Jon Katz, in his continued series on the war on the carriage horses, takes a look at the bigger picture....
The politicians and people described as animal rights activists in New York City have formed something of a new media mob, they are after the Carriage Horse Industry, they are criminalizing the ideas, behaviors, beliefs and practices that are hundreds, if not thousands of years old, and they are doing it in the ugliest, least compassionate and most unthinking possible way.
Throughout American history, there have been these kinds of cultural and political hysterias, from the Salem witches to the Communists to the Japanese-Americans corralled into prison camps during World War II. This new one tends to view animals narrowly, not as equals but as dependents, creatures in need of pity and rescue and saving from the deprivations of people. And the people who have a different view of animals must then be abusers, monsters and criminals.
Unintended Consequences - NY Style
In every state where Progressive Liberals have control a similar agenda is being pushed through against the people's will. That agenda includes radical environmental policy and radical gun control. Now the lefts union supporters are starting to see that the progressive left cares more about their agenda, than the do the working man.
My friend Gary Gross has been doing a magnificent job of showing how the radical environmental agenda is hurting union jobs in Minnesota. Now we are seeing where their radical gun policies are hurting union jobs in New York - thanks to the NY SAFE Act.
A union official said Saturday the Remington Arms Co.'s decision to open a manufacturing plant in Alabama does not bode well for Ilion, and he's blaming New York's SAFE Act restrictions on assault weapons.
Now I am all for some common sense means of keeping guns out of the hands of people with mental illness (like the WV Shooter) but the NY SAFE Act was one of those punitive pieces of legislation designed to punish law abiding gun owners. It also was passed (like many pieces of progressive legislation) with the assumption that businesses would just bend over and take it. Remington has apparently decided otherwise.
AL.com reported Saturday that the Huntsville facility could employ up to 2,000 people. It said details could be revealed on Monday about plans for a Remington facility in a former Chrysler plant near Huntsville International Airport.
Reality Vs. D.C.
A couple of state rankings have come out in recent weeks - you know, the "Best States/Worst States" kind of fluff rankings. Scott Rasmussen (of the Rasmussen polling firm) took the most prominent of the recent rankings (from Politico) to task over at Real Clear Politics.
A theoretical listing of the best states put together by a publication for Washington insiders rates New Hampshire as the best state in the union, and finds that nine of the 10 worst states are in the American South.
However, if you look at Census Bureau data showing where Americans move to and from, five of the top seven states are from the South, and the worst states are New York, Illinois and California. Nine of the 10 worst states by this measure come from either the Northeast or Midwest.
The Politico piece he is referring to is here and the Census Bureau data is here if you want to dig through the dry reports. Business Insider has a map compiled of data gathered by United Van Lines here for a snapshot. The bottom line of all the reports? People are leaving blue states (Illinois, Michigan, New York and New Jersey) for red states like Texas, Tennessee and the Carolinas.
So why the discrepancy?
What's going on? Why are people moving to states that rate low on the Politico scale of good states and moving away from those Politico rates highly?
There are two possible explanations. Either the Politico rankings are wrong or the American people are stupid.
HB00097 Is Wrong
HB00097 is one of those bills that I really want to support. I mean, it does go after another type of legislation that I truly abhor - Breed Specific Legislation. For those that don't know Breed Specific Legislation (or BSL) is legislation designed to make it illegal to own a specific type of dog - usually pit bull type dogs and other so called "bully" breeds. The language is short and sweet...
...Section 1. Section 10-8-65 is amended to read:
29 10-8-65. Dogs -- License and tax -- Destruction, sale, or other disposal.
30 [They] Subject to Section 18-2-1 , a municipality may license, tax, regulate, or prohibit
31 the keeping of dogs, and authorize the destruction, sale, or other disposal of the same when at
32 large contrary to ordinance.
33 Section 2. Section 18-2-1 is enacted to read:
34 18-2-1. Regulation of dogs by a municipality.
35 (1) A municipality may not adopt or enforce a breed-specific rule, regulation, policy, or
36 ordinance regarding dogs.
37 (2) Any breed-specific rule, regulation, policy, or ordinance regarding dogs is void.
I have LONG been opponent of BSL. BSL is a violation of the dog owners right to due process (if they own an effected dog) and could be considered an illegal taking under the 4th Amendment. If the dog owner owns an effected dog and they have done the proper due diligence (training, socialization and making sure that they dog is not running loose or out of control unsupervised), if they have shown that their dog is a canine good citizen, what right does the municipality have to come in and say that the dog is a menace and needs to be regulated out of town. Most of the time, the owners of the dogs that the municipality is so worried about are already in violation of numerous EXISTING ordinances (leash laws for example) why enact another law?
However, HB00097 IS the wrong way to go about rectifying the injustices of BSL. It is a solution in search of a problem. Only 12 cities in Utah have breed bans in place. There is currently no rush of municipalities looking to add breed specific bans, so there is no real need to prevent other cities from being stupid.
A better idea came from a September 2013 interview in City Weekly.
Real Cruelty
I love animals - dogs, cats, horses, deer, moose....domestic, wild, it does not matter. I also believe (as part of my Judeo/Christian upbringing) that it is mankind's duty to be good stewards of the earth - especially the animals because they are vulnerable. Now taking care of them means making sure that their lives are healthy and have meaning. Meaning for a domestic cat is different from (say) my herding dogs or....a working horse. Groups like PeTA have never understood that animals bred to "do something" suffer when they have nothing to do. Which is why they are pushing hard to do away with all "use" of animals - like carriage horses. While there have been abuses, that does not mean all carriage horse drivers are abusive. The debate that is happening here in Salt Lake in the aftermath of Jerry the horses death, is writ large in New York City where new Mayor Bill DeBlasio has equated pulling a carriage to.....WATERBOARDING?!?!?!?!?!
I got to see the new mayor of New York, Bill DeBlasio on Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" last night, it was the first time I had seen the mayor speak about his intention to ban the carriage horses from New York City, I was interested to hear what he had to say and wanted to be open-minded about it. I hoped he would explain his feelings in a way I could grasp them. I think the best way to handle what he did say was to simply pass it along to you – you can see it for yourself here, the extended interview Part 2 and make up your own mind.
The conversation about the horses was quite brief, neither the mayor nor Stewart seemed to want to delve into it too much, but the mayor did say this about the issue: "the waterboarding of the horses has to stop."
Jon Katz, for those that don't know, is a former journalist and author of the Dogs of Bedlam Farms books. He has a genuine respect for all animals, but he does not anthropomorphize them. He attempts to understand his animals on their level and in the process brings these animals and how they relate to humans to beautiful and sometimes painful clarity.
For the record, Katz reminds us of the definition of "waterboarding".
ObamaCare RoundUp
Life has been busy (still) but I wanted to post a round up of (un)Affordable Care Act stories that have popped up in the last few days.
First we have this from a woman whom the (un)Affordable Care Act was supposed to help.
I suffer from a difficult chronic illness called lupus, an autoimmune disease with devastating symptoms that strike when you least expect them. At age 40, my life is filled with visits to doctors, specialists and the emergency room. While paying for this care is expensive, I have no other choice.
Prior to ObamaCare, I bought my health insurance through CoverTN, a program run by the state of Tennessee....
My plan was canceled last fall. According to the regulators behind ObamaCare, it was a subpar plan that should no longer be sold to consumers....
This wasn't my insurer's fault at all. CoverTN actually fought for me to keep my health care. After I received my cancellation notice, the folks at CoverTN requested that the federal government give them a waiver, which would let them grandfather my plan into ObamaCare. Their request was rejected....
... My new plan costs me $373 a month, even after a small subsidy.
Hollow Legends
There is so much going on right now that it is hard to choose what to comment on. However, in honor of tonight's State of The Union address (which I will miss due to a prior obligation), I thought it only fitting to bring you Peggy Noonan's latest.
In a State of the Union a president tries to put his stamp on things. Here we are, here's where we're going, all roads lead forward. We can face whatever test, meet whatever challenge, united in the desire that we be the greatest nation in the history of man . . .
...What great moments this tradition has given us.
Well. History still beckons, waiting to be made. The great unstated question of today: Can America come back, reclaim her old spirit, confidence and joy, can we make things again, build them, grow, create, push out into the new?
And here I think: Oh dear.
What makes this column so harsh is that Ms. Noonan was an enthusiastic Obama supporter during both campaigns but especially 2008.
Behold the modern liberal feminist. The paragon of choice....
Every time I hear someone say that feminism is about validating every choice a woman makes I have to fight back vomit.
Do people really think that a stay at home mom is really on equal footing with a woman who works and takes care of herself? There's no way those two things are the same. It's hard for me to believe it's not just verbally placating these people so they don't get in trouble with the mommy bloggers.
Having kids and getting married are considered life milestones. We have baby showers and wedding parties as if it's a huge accomplishment and cause for celebration to be able to get knocked up or find someone to walk down the aisle with. These aren't accomplishments, they are actually super easy tasks, literally anyone can do them. They are the most common thing, ever, in the history of the world. They are, by definition, average. And here's the thing, why on earth are we settling for average?
If women can do anything, why are we still content with applauding them for doing nothing?
...as long as the choice is her choice anyway...
Ms. Glass, like many liberals, want everyone to make the choices she has made and when they dare to show minds of their own and make other choices, they subject them to scorn and derision. Now I have to admit that there are many stay at home moms who do the same thing to those that choose to work. That IS what the "mommy wars" are all about.
On the other side of the coin is Matt Walsh. His response (in defense of his wife's choice to be a stay at home mom) puts it much better than I could.
The Turning Tide
Today is not going to be conducive for posting but given today is the 41st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision and given the post about Governor Cuomo's intolerance for a pro life opinion, I thought this Marist poll was worth noting.
More than 8 in 10 Americans (84 percent) do not see the abortion debate as an all or nothing proposition, saying that laws can protect both the well-being of a woman and the life of the unborn.
Emphasis mine. Which I had always felt was the case (and told my all or nothing friends on both sides of the discussion) but now I have statistics to back it up!
Other key findings of the survey include:
• 80 percent support parental notification before a minor can obtain an abortion.
• 79 percent support a 24-hour waiting period prior to having an abortion.
• 76 percent oppose allowing abortions to be performed by non-doctors.
• 62 percent want to change laws to allow for some restrictions on abortion.
• 58 percent support showing a woman an ultrasound image of her baby at least a day before an abortion.
• 57 percent believe abortion does a woman more harm than good in the long run.
• 55 percent — including 6 in 10 Millennials (adults 18 to 32) — want continued debate on the abortion issue.
80% support parental notifications and nearly 80% support waiting periods and making abortion only done by doctors. It seems the people of New York are not so far out of the mainstream after all.
And lastly....
On a related note, the survey also found that more than 7 in 10 Americans (71 percent) also believe that freedom of religion should be protected above government laws.
This bodes poorly for Democrats in 2014 and 2016.
The Problem With Politics Today
Logical Lady Peggy Noonan thinks she knows the problem with politics today.
Politicians call themselves public servants, so they should be expected to be less selfish than the average Joe ; their views and actions should be assumed to be more keenly directed toward the broad public good. But no one expects that of politicians anymore, and they know it and use the knowledge to justify being even worse than they'd normally be. "If I have the name, I might as well have the game."
They are the locus of selfishness in the modern world.
Chris Christie's problem isn't that he's a bully, it's that he's selfish. Barack Obama isn't stupid and therefore the maker of mayhem, he's selfish.
There isn't a staffer on the Hill who won't tell you 90% of members are driven by their own needs, wants and interests, not America's. The former defense secretary, Bob Gates, has written a whole book about it, and the passages in which he speaks most plainly read like a cry from the heart. The chaplain of the Senate, Barry Black, made news a few months ago because he'd taken to praying that the character of our representatives be improved. "Save us from the madness," he prayed one morning last October. "We acknowledge our transgressions, our shortcomings, our smugness, our selfishness." The single most memorable thing I ever heard from a Wall Streeter was from one of its great men, who blandly explained to me one day why certain wealthy individuals were taking an action that was both greedy and personally inconvenient to them. "Everyone wants more," he said, not in a castigating way but as one explains certain essentials to a child.
People in public life have become more grasping, and less embarrassed by it.
The Tolerance Continues
The forces of tolerance strike again. This time those racist Tea Partiers are forcing a minority woman out of her job for having the audacity to speak her mind.
A famed actress is facing backlash in San Francisco's Latino community, after she voiced support for a conservative candidate for California governor.
Maria Conchita Alonso starred in a campaign ad for Assemblyman Tim Donnelly of San Bernardino County, a Tea Party favorite who is seeking the Republican nomination...
...The actress was to perform next month at the Brava Theater Center in San Francisco's Mission District in a Spanish-language version of "The Vagina Monologues," scheduled for a run from February 14th through 17th. The show is being produced by none other than Eliana Lopez, wife of San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi.
"We really cannot have her in the show, unfortunately," Lopez told KPIX 5. She said Alonso abruptly resigned from the cast on Friday, given the backlash on the immigration issue.
"Of course she has the right to say whatever she wants. But we're in the middle of the Mission. Doing what she is doing is against what we believe," Lopez said.
The party/ideology of tolerance strikes again. Doing what they ALWAYS accuse the right of doing AGAIN. Showing their true acceptance of diversity.......AGAIN. You see in the world of the progressives, original thought IS NOT ACCEPTED. If you don't follow the progressive party line in lock step, you will be punished. You will be ostracized. You will be shamed back into line. You either agree with us or you remain silent and in your place, peon. That is the mindset of the progressive movement. Glenn Reynolds (at Instapundit) brought out the "b" word...
To The Extreme
This is exactly what I meant last night about government deciding who has the right to free speech. In speaking recently about the state of the Republican Party, Democrat Governor or New York Andrew Cuoumo said this...
Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that's who they are and they're the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York.
So people who are against governmental gun grabs and are for LIFE are not welcome in New York? Really Mr. Governor. You are going to sit there and tell people of faith who oppose abortion they don't BELONG? Who's next Mr. Governor? Maybe the Jews???????
The thing is Mr. Governor, those pro-life "extremists" as you love to call them when you are out campaigning to get your "Reproductive Health Act" passed (a bill that makes abortion MORE accessible in New York) are not as extreme as you think.
All Speech Is NOT Equal
It has been a very rough couple of weeks for abortion rights advocates at the Supreme Court. First Justice Sonia Sotomayor (an Obama appointee) granted the Little Sisters of the Poor relief from the abortion services provision mandate, which led to Jamie Stiehm's epic anti-Catholic meltdown in the US News & World Report. Then on Wednesday, in hearings on the challenge to the abortion clinic anti-speech bubble, Justice Elana Kagan (another Obama appointee) likened the abortion industry to......
"In a painfully ironic moment, Justice Kagan compared abortion clinics to slaughterhouses, asking what if this statute had been written about slaughterhouses to keep animal rights activists from blocking the entrance and exits."
And liberal abortion rights supporters heads exploded everywhere!
Justice Kagan raises a great point though. States like Massachusetts would never in a million years pass an Ag-Gag bill like we have here in Utah. They would call it a complete affront to free speech. So why then, are they prohibiting pro-life supporters from even talking quietly in front of a clinic? As long as they are not trespassing (on the clinic or on the farm) both SHOULD be protected speech....
Just because the government doesn't like your speech or agree with it does not mean that they get to restrict it – not liking it is not a compelling interest and banning it is not narrowly tailored.
That's First Amendment law in a nutshell … in every case that is but abortion. Regarding abortion the rules too often become distorted in favor of abortion and against pro-life viewpoints. To some, the First Amendment just doesn't cover pro-life speech.
Simple - it is because it is not speech that they like or approve of, so it must be shut down AT ALL COSTS! It is not pre-approved by dear leader so it can not be spoken! And in this case, dear leader is not JUST Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick....
Most disturbing about this case though is that it was not just Massachusetts defending this pro-abortion law, the Obama Administration sent its lawyers to the Supreme Court to argue that this anti-pro-life speech law in no way violated the Constitution.
At one point the Obama Administration's lawyer actually argued that there was no such thing a right to conduct a quite conversation on a public sidewalk.
While we won't have a ruling on this case until later this summer, Justice Kagan's remarks do bring a couple of points for thought. First is the life of a human less valuable than the life of a cow or a pig or a horse? Second, we've gotten to a point where there is free speech for some, but not all - when are we going to STOP that and allow free speech for all? Whether we like and agree with it or not?
Hi - I'd like to introduce myself. Yeah, it's me - Lady Logician. Last year was a busy one that included a) a new puppy, b) a new career, c) sending the Junior Logician off to college (sob) and d) a new non-political hobby. Yes it was insane and it got worse as the year went on. Things have (momentarily) slowed down, so I am going to try to get back in to the semi regular blogging habit - schedule willing.
It's another election year, so buckle up friends.....it's about to get bumpy!
Not Alone
Abortion rights advocates have spent months now trying to assure the public that Kermit Gosnell was the exception to the rule, but is he? Word is not starting to come out that he is not the exception but closer to the rule....
First, from Texas we have Douglas Karpen....
Authorities in Houston, Texas are responding to calls for an investigation of Douglas Karpen, who is being considered the second Kermit Gosnell for killing babies born alive after abortion.
Yesterday, the Lt. Governor of Texas demanded an investigation of an abortion practitioner who is considered the second Kermit Gosnell.
A new video expose' of Douglas Karpen has three former abortion clinic employees of abortion practitioner Douglas Karpen exposing horrific practices that took place at his abortion clinic....
...The three informants in the expose' video, Deborah Edge, Gigi Aguliar, and Krystal Rodriguez, have come forward to tell of their horrific experiences working for him at one of three of his Texas abortion clinics, the Aaron Women's Clinic in Houston. A fourth informant has co-operated with Operation Rescue, filing an affidavit about her experiences, but remains at this time anonymous.
These women brought forward evidence of illegal late-term abortions in the form of photos taken on their cell phones at the Karpen's clinic on Schumacher Lane in Houston.
The photos were scandalous. They depicted two babies aborted well beyond the legal limit of 24 weeks in Texas. Their necks had been cut.

Tue, 18 Nov 2014 14:29:20 -0800
New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks (thumb) was placed on season-ending Reserve/Injured Tuesday, Nov. 18.
Fantasy Tip: Cooks' absence could breathe new life into Marques Colston, while Jimmy Graham, Kenny Stills and Travaris Cadet figure to see more targets as well. Colston is an especially intriguing play on FantasyScore in Week 12 with an attractively low price of $4,600 in a tasty matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

|Saints | Brandin Cooks may miss 4-6 weeks
Mon, 17 Nov 2014 10:39:08 -0800
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks (thumb) underwent thumb surgery Monday, Nov. 17, and could miss four to six weeks.
Fantasy Tip: Cooks probably will not be able to return until late in December, so owners in shallow leagues can consider dropping him. Marques Colston, Kenny Stills and Travaris Cadet could receive more targets with Cooks out, which helps their fantasy value. All three players could be at least flex options in Week 12.

Mon, 17 Nov 2014 07:55:40 -0800
New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks (thumb) will miss two to four weeks due to a broken thumb.
Fantasy Tip: Kenny Stills is likely to benefit from Cooks' absence. Stills is a good flex option at the right price on FantasyScore. Marques Colston could also work his way back into fantasy viability.

|Saints | Brandin Cooks playing better at home
Thu, 23 Oct 2014 15:40:01 -0700
New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks has been targeted 22 times in just two home games so far this year. He totaled eight catches for 74 yards in Week 3 and nine catches for 56 yards in Week 5. The Saints play their third home game of the season this Sunday night.
Fantasy Tip: It may just be coincidence, but Cooks has been thrown at much more at home than on the road. If Jimmy Graham is limited at all, Cooks could see plenty of action and is will be worth his $5,700 price on FantasyScore.

|Saints | Browns shut down Saints' passing game
Mon, 15 Sep 2014 11:19:05 -0700
New Orleans Saints WR Marques Colston, who didn't catch a pass in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns for the first time in 87 games, wasn't even targeted a single time. The Browns made it their mission to shut the Saints' downfield passing game down, and Cleveland had seven defensive backs on the field at once at times. WR Brandin Cooks was held to just three catches for 17 yards, and the four receivers combined for nine catches for 79 yards.
Fantasy Tip: Colston's fat zero for fantasy owners in Week 2 hurt badly. The good news is he has a good chance of bouncing back in Week 3 at home against the Minnesota Vikings.

|Saints | Brandin Cooks has solid debut
Sun, 07 Sep 2014 18:29:24 -0700
New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks had seven receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 game against the Atlanta Falcons Sunday, Sept. 7.
Fantasy Tip: There were plenty of fantasy owners and experts loving Cooks in the preseason, and he lived up to the hype for at least one game. Still, after his solid performance, he might be a little overpriced in FantasyScore. There will likely be better values.

|Saints | Kenny Stills limited Wednesday
Wed, 03 Sep 2014 14:51:16 -0700
New Orleans Saints WR Kenny Stills (quadriceps) was limited in practice Wednesday, Sept. 3.
Fantasy Tip: Stills could be questionable to play in Week 1, and he might even be a game-time decision Sunday. As a result, he's a risky play in daily games. Marques Colston is a safe bet for solid production, and rookie Brandin Cooks should return nice profit at a cheap price if Stills doesn't suit up.

|Saints | Brandin Cooks sits
Sun, 24 Aug 2014 06:25:15 -0700
New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks (illness) did not play in the team's preseason game Saturday, Aug. 23, due to illness. Cooks took the warmup, and said he could have played if necessary.
Fantasy Tip: This is just a temporary setback for Cooks, and should not change his status on draft day. Look for Cooks to be drafted as a fourth or fifth wide receiver with upside.

New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks (illness) returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday, Aug. 21, and he is questionable for the team's preseason game Saturday, Aug. 23, according to head coach Sean Payton.
Fantasy Tip: Cooks has assumed many of the duties that Darren Sproles had in New Orleans' offense, and he has the speed to deliver big plays whenever he touches the ball. Consistency could be an issue for a rookie in an offense that tends to spread the wealth, but his upside is tough to ignore, especially in PPR formats. Draft him as a fourth or fifth receiver, but he has a chance to become a viable flex option.

| The Wattstopper CI-305 360 Degree Passive Infrared 24V Low Voltage Occupancy Sensor automatically turns lighting on and off based on occupancy. These larger sized sensors can be configured to turn lighting on, and hold it on as long as the sensor detects occupancy.

The CI-305 provides up to 1200 square feet of coverage and can be mounted though tile ceiling or through Octagonal J-Box.
