Dayton Tries To Snag Businesses Upset About New Indiana Law
Officials in Dayton are aiming to capitalize on backlash against a religious-objections law in neighboring Indiana that critics say could permit discrimination against gays and lesbians.
Listen to the Story
It's been almost thirty years since the city of Columbus has increased its income tax rate. Mayor Michael Coleman wants voters to approve an increase in an August special election. He said it's the only way to keep the city operating at its current level. But opponents say mismanagement is at the root of the city's economic troubles.
"We've cut to the bone. And now we're about to cut our limbs off."
That's what Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman said will happen to the city if it does not get some new revenue. He said laid off workers, pay furloughs and closed recreational centers are not enough to – in his words – maintain the city's quality of life.
So Coleman wants voters to approve a twenty-five percent increase in the city's income tax – from two percent to two-and-a-half percent. He said if the tax increase fails, cuts seen this year will pale in comparison to future cuts.
"It will mean drastic cuts in basic safety, health and neighborhood services to our residents. That means we will have no choice but to consider layoffs of safety forces as well as wholesale elimination of many civilian services well beyond our prior cuts," the mayor said.
Republican political consultant Terry Casey opposes the tax increase. He said Coleman and others at city hall have overspent the city's income for years – on what he calls pet projects like the river front.
"Clearly city hall has not been focused on the basics, so they're going to try and use scare tactics to force people and do a massive tax hike," Casey said.
Right now, a person making $40,000 a year pays the city $800. If voters approve the increase, the bill goes up to $1,000.
There are some exemptions though. People younger than 18 years of age, senior citizens on pensions and Veterans' benefits will not be taxed.
Holding an August election will cost tax payers about $500,000. But City Council President Michael Mentel said the city can not afford to wait three months to hold the election.
"It will allow us in very relative quick time to be able to start collecting that should it be passed," Mentel said.
GOP consultant Terry Casey questions the August vote.
"August special elections are not the best time for democracy to have elections. It sounds like they want to sneak it by people," Casey said.
If approved the increase will bring in about $97 million year in new revenue for the city. The mayor promised it would be years before the city would need another tax increase.

Officials later determined it was not gunshots but fireworks that caused the commotion.Thursday Davidson and Mary G. Montgomery will battle it out on the field and to them, it's just another day on the field. Local 15's Jasmine Williams will be at the game and reported seeing Mobile Police patrolling at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.At a meeting Thursday afternoon, Local 15 caught up with Superintendent Martha Peek about the latest security scare. She said Mobile Police will be monitoring the crowds as usual.Peek went on to say that money is not an issue and that she believes security at stadiums are covered. The recent incidents are isolated ones."We always have a large presence of security of police officers at our ball games. We'll continue that," Peek said.According to Peek, it is up to the principals to decide how much security is needed at each game.Safety Measures at Football Games

Tucson is one of the oldest towns in the US. Although it only became part of the US in 1854, its history as a European and native settlement extend much further back in time.
Before being founded as a Spanish settlement in 1775, it was first a Native American village called "Stook-zone," which means "water at the foot of black mountain."
In fact, humans have lived continuously in the area for over 12,000 years. Perhaps not coincidentally, Tucson shines with 360 sunny days each year.

If you love to fly, love old planes, or if you grew up loving the sight and sound of crop dusters weaving over your house as the worked - this is a great book. It's about more than two boys' adventure cross-country. It gives a look into an era and a unique culture.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

As the composer of Huddersfield Town, Brighouse On Saturday Night, Peter Brook's Paintings, Wear Your Poppy With Pride and Into The Sun, Roger Davies is one of today's most engaging singer songwriters.
His dedication to his craft & live performances have earned reviews such as :
"Too good to miss"
Purbeck Valley Folk Festival
"The best thing I've seen in 20 years. If I had a torch I'd throw it to him"
Harvey Andrews
"If you haven't heard, seen or booked Roger yet, you really should"
Topic Folk Club, Bradford
"We heard the CD and just had to book him"
Cottingham Folk Club
"Like a modern day musical L.S. Lowry"
The Brighouse Echo
"His new album Local Radio is his strongest collection so far"
Tykes' News
"When Roger walked on stage to a sold out Square Chapel in Halifax, it quickly became obvious why this self styled 'Yorkshire Songwriter' commands such a strong following. His songs are a reflection of the world around us. His lyrics can be funny, as in 'The Beerbelly Blues', thought provoking or, as in his tender ballad 'Stephanie', simply exquisite."
Halifax Courier
Roger Davies albums are available to buy from:
My brand new album 'Local Radio' is available now at all gigs and concerts. You can buy the CD online from the Sounds Good Records Store at www.evinsol.co.uk/cdsales for just £10 (includes postage worldwide) The 'Local Radio' album is also available to download from iTunes now.

Coral tree help needed
Hi. There is a coral tree planted in my front yard (previous owners put it in) that is struggling. It has not flowered since I moved in (May 2012). It has only gotten leaves on one branch and this year there were very few leaves on even that branch. I can post pictures if that would be helpful to diagnose the problem. Just let me know specifically what you would like to see (trunk, leaves, etc.). I would really like to save the tree if possible.
Thanks, Tina
Sorry for the delay on the pictures. I was hoping to get home from work before dark one night this week to take them, but it didn't work out.
So, I took one of the base of the tree, one of the entire tree, one of the only leaves on the tree, and one of a branch I recently (maybe 1.5 weeks ago) nipped off. Any ideas based on these pictures?
Thanks again, Tina
Do the fingernail scratch test to see if the nonleafing trunks still have green beneath the bark. There are borers that attack Erythrinas in Hawaii, Florida and Mexico, which aren't commonly seen here in California. No foliage in over a year would seem to indicate those branches/trunks are dead.
They do go dormant also..they aren't evergreen. So trunks could be alive waiting for.. some water. The previous owner might have pushed it into dropping all leaves..and its hanging on. Its a big coral tree. I had thought you had a 6-8' with one branch alive!.
Is that E. caffra? Once you get them back to growing, THEN go easy on the water.
It is still green under the bark. I would think it is getting enough water, the grass there gets watered and the bushes behind get watered. The ground isn't super soaked, but I was afraid to add water lines near it because everything I read online said they don't like a lot of water. Maybe it will leaf this year. I just wish I knew what to change to make it happy. When I bought the house it was out in flowers, but very sparse leaves. Then the flowers fell off and the leaves never came back. I bought the house in May 2012. I did have it trimmed by an arborist when I first moved in, maybe that made it go dormant?? It is a big tree and it was so pretty with the flowers. I hate to remove it if I can do something to save it. I have no idea which variety it is. I was guessing Erythina caffra, but I based that just by looking at which one looked most similar in pictures.
Yeah,the pruning took off all the flowering age growth. And as you saw..they are dormant when in bloom. Its looks big and very healthy to me. Never tip prune..or your pruning off the very point of having a Coral tree!
It will leaf out soon. When it does you might then feed lightly..and then go easy as they can bloat up, and fall over,or at least drop even big branches if watered too well.
But, looks great to me. Congrats on having that. Try Aloes or succulents under it..better then grass.
Hi! I have the exact same problem with my coral tree. My tree looks like yours, talonstorm. We purchased our home also about 2 years ago and at that time, it bloomed beautifully (I think it was around end of Feb). But since then, no flowers. Some branches have leafing but the majority do not. I tried doing the fingernail scratch test as bahia advised and some branches are green underneath and some look light to dark brown underneath and dried out/dead. For those dried out branches, would I just have to cut them off? I've never pruned the tree and I'm afraid to. I read that pruning incorrectly can somehow remove the flower buds. Any tips on how to get this tree blooming again? Talonstorm, how is your tree holding up? Were you able to get it to bloom again? Thanks!

Michele Bachmann's ACORN Addiction
Ever since Obama was elected Michele Bachmann (R- MN) has been pushing the boundaries of sanity and common sense to the breaking point. If she isn?t suggesting that FEMA is building hidden concentration camps around the US, or suggesting that the swine flu is some sort of Democratic crisis tool, she is claiming that Obama and the Democrats are plotting with ACORN, in order to usurp the will of the Real Republican loving American people.
Politifact adds not one but two more ?Pants on Fire? awards to Bachmann?s record.
The first one comes from a Washington Times interview that she did on June 17th. She said?
Now ACORN has been named one of the national partners, which will be a recipient again of federal money
And they will be in charge of going door-to-door and collecting data from the American public. This is very concerning because the motherload of all data information will be from the census. And, of course, we think of the census as just counting how many people live in your home. Unfortunately, the census data has become very intricate, very personal (with) a lot of the questions that are asked.
Bachmann at it again
Michele Bachmann is at it again, this time on KTLK?s radio show with Chris Baker.
Head Nod: Countdown
Down and Out?
REP. MICHELE BACHMANN, R-MINN, who invoked McCarthyism, appertly has been tossed to the wolves by the RNC. First Read Blog and The Boston Globe reports…
First Read…
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann ?is one of four at-risk Republican incumbents left to fend for themselves by a cash-strapped House campaign arm in the crucial final days of the campaign amid a tough political environment for the GOP," the AP writes.
The Boston Globe…
National Republicans have yanked TV advertising for Minnesota GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann's re-election bid after she suggested Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama may have "anti-American" views and urged an investigation of unpatriotic lawmakers.
McCarthyism Reborn
REP. MICHELE BACHMANN, R-MINN. was recently on Hardball and had this to say about Anti-Americanism.
So let me get this straight congresswoman, you want every member of congress to be investigated on allegations that they could be "Anti-American".
They tried this once before with McCarthyism and that worked out well didn't it.
Something tells me congresswoman that your not going to get invited to the next Congressional BBQ.
