There are six cops on the city streets overnight , but during the day we have officers measuring lawn height ! What a farce . There are so many stupid moes like this , it is ridiculous .
If we have a bloated payroll , at least use some common sense and make the cops work graveyard shift where ,most of the crime and violence occurs and leave the stupid lawn height measuring job to code enforcement .
My taxes have gone up every single year although I live in a small house with no improvements . I am disgusted when I see two and three family houses ( cash cows owned by slum lords ) whose values go down every year .
Let's give some tax breaks to the citizens who have stayed here and work here and put some of the burden on the guy in Boston who owns three family tenements in the South End.
Why do we need to hire more bilingual staff when there are already plenty of Spanish speaking employees in the police dept . Pretty soon the ACLU will mandate that only Spanish speaking people be hired - the ACLU is over the top and needs to be disbanded . They are a bunch of loons and crackpots .
At what cost do we have to go to in order to accomodate people who are not even citizens in OUR country ?
English needs to be adopted as the official language . I cannot think of ONE other country that bends over backwards for non-citizens who don;t bother to learn the predominant language of the land . In msot places , if you could not speak their native tongue, it would be up to YOU to provide someone who could come with you and interpret for you . We are already overburdened - take some personal responsibility, people and learn the language if you want all the services and freebies which we work so hard for .
Exactly ! The type of people who have not paid taxes for years and have made no attempt to pay ,no payment plan , etc. HAVE NO SHAME !
I agree totally LuLz - working people are sunject to random drug tests and we don't get to vote on how we want our tax dollars spent , but God forbid we impose a few restrictions on lifetime Welfare recipients who feel collecting taxpayers' dollars is their rigtht - talk about an entitlement mentality !
Common sense holds no place in this crazy society anymore and that is the problem . Let's get rid of the ACLU and go back to common sense and we will all save a lot of cents.
Exactly - whatever happened to three strikes and you're out - or IN , in jail, in this instance .
Cripes, in this liberal wasteland , it's not even " twenty five strikes and you're out " . Anyone agree that is the whole problem here ???? ?!
Check out all the " welfare motels" - quick and easy mass drug busts . Make it a condition of living there on the taxpayers' dime that you are subject to random room searches at the motels - that will put the kibosh on a lot of the freeloaders living in these overpriced Welfare housing .
Good work , SPD. Now if we can only get a jusge to keep this trash behind bars - of course, that is on OUR dime , too .
I hat to say it but I agree - I preferred the city when the Mafia openly ran it rather than the Latin Kings,etc running the show as they are allowed to do now .
Typical - he already had TWO outstanding arrest warrants and I bet he hangs at the same corner daily selling his junk drugs . Why is it that the only way these dirtbags get arrested (again!) is for routine traffic stops ? Let the cops spend 8 hrs a day picking up these scumbags on old warrants and getting these drug dealing vermin off our streets .
Polls have shown that the overwhelming majority of sane, working , LEGAL citizens support Arizona's law and their right to try to keep its citizens safe since the Federal govt. refuses to uphold current law against illegal immigrants.
I applaud Arizona and hope that they have the support of all border states who are being dictated to by the Mexican government . Who the hell is the Mexican government to tell this country how to deal with the gang porblem caused by THEIR citizens -what a farce .
Mr.Kelly looks like someone I would want on my side - now THIS is the kind of person we want in this city - a real upstanding guy who does the right thing .
I applaud your courage and sense of decency - your mother must be very proud of a son like you.
I agree- this is a nice effort , but why just one night ?
We need 100 more police on our streets druing those hours every night in order to take back our streets.
Forget the ridiculous lawn police and cops looking to see if someone parked on their own grass or other stupid , but revenue producing city ordinances - let's worry about the REAL problems Springfield has like gangs, drugs, the homeless ( like the young purse snatcher in another articler ) and violent repeat offenders .
A principal with a " fairly substantial criminal record" ? Give me a break . We're paying this jerk $79,000 to lie and cheat to " earn" her salary ?
Wonder where she bought her degree from ?
I hope this makes the national news and all the felons running this so-called school are put away for a long time . I am disgusted .
This is absolutely disgusting - sends the message that illegals come first in MA over taxpayingm hard-working citizens .
We should all be outraged - with this message, more will come and enjoy the " freebies" that we all work and pay for .
MA is a liberal wasteland and any worker here is a sucker .
I agree -if you are here legally , why be afraid to show proof of ID ?
At one time , when I younger and naive and idealistic and times were SO different, I , too , would have been up in arms about the prospect of a National ID card , but the times have changed and not for the better .
After 9/11 and with the borders being totally unsecured and the fact that we are still allowing anyone and everyone in , a National ID card makes sense ! It would sure solve a lot of problems and save the taxpayers a ton of money in the long run,too .
I would be willing to wager that more legal citizens support Arizona and their courage in passing this law than those who are opposed .
The Federal government is not doing their part by enforcing immigration laws - out of fears for public safety and with intent to protect the rights and well-being of its citizens, I applaud Arizona for doing the right thing . I hope all border states follow suit and force the hand of the Federal govt. to enforce the laws and secure our borders.
We cannot afford to welcome illegals with open arms and a basket of freebies - peopel are out of work , uninsured , losing their homes. We are not in any position to take on the burdens of law breakers who will not follow the proper channels to come here LEGALLY - it is a a no-brainer .
So, collections from sales tax are up 33%, 7 counties still have a few more days to file to meet the extended deadline and they are still whining ?
This state will keep on spinning , gouging and raising taxes on all who pay - when is enough , enough ?
Give me a braek - PTSD is the new catch all excuse . It can buy vets from Vietnam era a VA disability after functioning perfectly for 40 years ! Word of that gravy train is spreading like wildfire , but hey, at least their vets so I cut them some slack .
How quickly people learn to grab the " excuse of the day" to minimize their own shortcomings.
Fire this woman ! Ridicuolous that we are paying a person to teach in an American school who cannot speak English - are we that crazy ?
The money spent on interpreters and bilingual teachers ( Somalia, Cambodia , Burmese and maybe 50 more! ) is costing us a fortune .
Learn English or go home .
Morons in charge - that's the problem in a nutshell .
Why boycott against a state that has the common sense to enforce the law and not illegal aliens control their state ??? WHy should they not have the right to public safety and the interests of taxpaying citizens at heart ??
Just goes to show that the so-called " leaders" of this state don;t have a clue and are endorsing criminal behavior .
I applaud Arizona for having the good sense to pass the bill and I can only hope that all the border states who are overrun with the illegals with theirs hands out and their " gimme " attitude , band together and pass similar laws . Since the Federal govt. does not have the integrity to enforce existing laws that prohibit illegal aliens from entering this country , perhaps the alliances of the border states will force their hand and make them take action - Americans first ! - that should be the rallying cry heard from all of us .
Great post, oldnative . I generally agree with your views on things, and you are right on with this one .
I applaud Joe Arpaio - these illegal immigrants flagrantly abuse the system ,they break laws and are a huge drain on the taxpayers - the LEGAL citizens of this country who are paying the price for these lawbreakers .
I wish Joe Arpaio would come and run for governor of MA - he would win by a landslide . That would show the country how most Americans really feel - we have had enough . Why should Arizonians pay such a price so that cartels do not have their feelings hurt or their " rights" trampled on ?? If you are not here legally , you have no rights . No other country in the world puts the safety and rights of its citizens second - what a foolish thing to pander to these people .
Good for you , Joe Arpaio .
I am willing to bet that the overwhelming majority of Americans are in support of the Arizona law - I am glad that Texas is considering a similar law - if ALL the border states stuck together and decided to force the Federal govt. to enforce the law , we all would be far better off.
I applaud the governor or Arizona for havign the interests of its LEGAL citizens as her first priority . Why allow Mexican cartels and gang members to infiltrate her state and pander to illegals ? Absolutely absurd !

Bombardier's new CSeries mock-up – unveiled at the Paris Air Show – is da bomb. Yes, I know I'm not a teenager anymore, but even the most jaded, angst-filled teen would be impressed with what Bombardier was doing at the air show (though he/she would feign nonchalance.)
Most notable for this RWG was the fact that Bombardier showcased Thales and Panasonic Avionics' latest generation monitors in the CSeries economy class seats. Both in-flight entertainment systems looked fantastic, but I gotta admit the Thales Avant – with its 12.1 inches of loven – really wowed.
Even though most airlines won't offer such a large screen in economy class (excepting Middle Eastern carriers), Thales was smart to feature it in the CSeries mock-up, daring would-be airline customers to dream big while putting its best foot forward from a visual standpoint.

WAGGGS launches consultation on 'the world we want for our future'
23 December 2011
Online survey: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) is consulting children and young people around the world to find out what positive change needs to happen to ensure that young and future generations will be able to live happy, healthy and sustainable lives. We want to know how the world should look like in the decades to come to ensure that all children and youth, but especially girls and young women, can develop their full potential as responsible citizens of the world.
3 steps to take part
Deadline for submitting consultation results is 17 April 2012.
This consultation on 'the world we want for our future' will be part of several of our Movement's advocacy activities, such as the upcoming UN Conference on Sustainable development 'Rio+20' in June 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, discussions on what should follow the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as a global framework for development and our current WAGGGS World Thinking Day campaign 'we can save our planet' which focuses on MDG 7 - environmental sustainability.
Find out more about the consultation and how it will be conducted.
Get a move on!

Very disappointed with Chief Serpas!
The family/friends connections make it difficult
to run this dept. I thought Serpas could overcome
these connections, I was wrong. Another reason
for a strong outsider to come in and take over!
Don't you just love the sound of freedom:)
I'm an ex-USAF veteran,and I still walk out my front door
to look at the F-15's etc. fly over my house!
Outstanding young chef and good family man.
They picked an outstanding representative for
La. seafood.
I will vote for all tax "renewals".
This is not a new tax.....
Don't get caught up in the Tea Party whining:)
Another excuse to keep the public out of "their back yard"!
The roadway should belong to the City or State!
Lakeshore is just a wasted City treasure!
T.P. please keep us informed about all our politicians who
continually think the laws don't always apply to them!
The above complaints worry me, they are probably from
staff and family:)
Thanks for getting the ball rolling!
Lets hope for a real race:)
Now you understand why the JP council was very
reluctant to say anything during the recent
Trash hearing". Anything you say, can and will
be used against you in a court of law:)
No comments from the council?
Of course not, they will wait till after the election:)
The Heebe/Sneed connection must be very powerful!
We must speak with our votes on election day!
Can they plead the 5th amend to a grand jury?
Why doesn't the state treasurer have a say in the budget
I hope he runs for governor!
Let's get this ball rolling, Capella and Roberts have to go!
If you truly believe in good gov't. you have to vote them
out of JP gov't, once and for all!
Don't you love the way the JP council refers to the corruption as happening
during the Broussard administration!
And where were the council members?
Don't worry, he's singing like a fine tuned canary:)
He's probably at a "undisclosed location:!
What about the 2nd part of this story?
The hazardous dump left over from the previous owner,
Evans Cooperage, will not get cleaned up.
Evans apparently is not responsible because of bankruptcy.
What is the JP council doing about this "Health Hazard"?
Hello JP council? How about doing something , like your jobs, and
get that property cleaned up!
Where are the previous owners? Oh that's right, probably declared
bankruptcy and avoided all that mess.
Sounds like a "multiple offender" to me.
He needs some jail time, if JP is full,I'm
sure they can find a parish where there
is room for him!
Can't give the mom any slack for leaving her
baby with this known drug/alcohol abuser!
A great chance to eliminate Lagasse from J.P. government.
He can not get elected to a parish wide seat.
Who else is running for the 2nd dist. seat?
He did a fine job as gov. of his red neck state!
No way is the GOP going to put him up against
Pres. Obama. Maybe as a VP to carry the Dixie
states. I'm not sure what he sees out his back door.
Barbour/Palin, wow:)
How much did River Burch pay for that mailer they
sent out to JP residents?
They must be worried, lets hope the council does the
honest thing:)

Distinctive Education
Founded in 1855, the University of San Francisco is the City's premier private University, its first institution of higher education, and the third oldest in the State of California. Throughout its history, the University has fulfilled its Jesuit Catholic mission to fashion a more humane and just world by educating the whole person. Focusing on the exploration of the mind and the engagement of the heart, the University of San Francisco prepares its students and graduates to become the leaders of just and ethical change in their communities and workplaces.
You are not alone in looking for something new, or in thinking about educational opportunities. Enrollments in institutions of higher learning have been on the rise since 1975, growing from 2 million to over 17 million. Adult undergraduate students make up 43% of the enrollment in postsecondary educational institutions. Sixty-five percent of those students are 30 years or older.
According to the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education (2006), there are over five million non-traditional, adult undergraduate students attending college on a part-time basis and that number is expected to continue to rise. The U.S. Department of Education indicates that total enrollments are expected to increase 13.5% by 2012, to 23 million adult students.
Seventy-eight million members of the U.S. population are nearing retirement age. The post World War II baby boomers are the largest and best-educated generation of Americans ever. The retirement of the boomers will create new opportunities for workforce positions commanding good salaries, but they will also require more education.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has determined that the majority of the fastest growing jobs require some post-secondary education and that most of the working population will experience periodic unemployment or underemployment sometime in their lives. Career change is a natural life progression; the average job seeker will change careers — not just jobs, several times over the course of his or her lifetime.
Fifty-four million members of the U.S. workforce lack a college degree (Bureau of Labor Statistics). Thirty-four million have no college experience. On the average, only one in four Americans over the age of 25 graduates from college. You are the exception if you graduate from college – making our graduates very valuable to their employers and communities.
Median annual income rises proportionately to educational attainment.
Some college, no degree earned
Associate's Degree earned
Bachelor's Degree earned
Master's Degree earned
We know that adult students have multiple roles — as professionals, family members, friends, and community members — even before they consider adding academic demands to their overtaxed schedules. Our programs are designed specifically with the adult learner in mind.
USF classrooms are friendly, relaxed, supportive, and informal. Low student-faculty ratios, combined with high student-faculty interaction and active, collaborative learning experiences result in increased student engagement, satisfaction, and persistence.
The emphasis in our adult learning community is on hands-on learning; providing opportunities for students to share their own knowledge and experiences. Group discussions, case studies of real life events and companies, small seminars, skill practice sessions, group work activities, team projects, and give and take discussions are the norm.
Most of the programs offered at the branch campuses are designed to allow students to come to class one night a week (plus possible occasional Saturdays) and earn their degree at a flexible pace designed for working adults. Classes typically meet one night a week, in the evening or on weekends. Please consult your preferred School or Campus for specific program offerings each semester.
Extraordinary faculty comprised of PhD's and accomplished working professionals inspire students to stretch and realize their full potential. All are dedicated to providing students with the close, personal attention that is the hallmark of a USF education.
There are many educational opportunities offered to students beyond their bachelor's degrees. We encourage students to start planning for their graduate degree before completing their bachelor's degree by visiting our graduate programs web site, www.usfca.edu/graduate.

Seems pretty obvious to me that SP doesn't trust kickers. After Hartely missed the PAT, SP probably lost faith and probably thought, at least with the fake, you can get a shot to get the first in Brunell's arm / Hartely might shank it and they get the ball anyhow.
Hargrove goin in for a hurt Ellis... changed the game. 2 sacks from a D Tackle is impressive from a guy who got converted from D End. Game ball should be his.
Ellis is a great pickup and worth the 1st rnd pk, but I have to admit, once he got hurt, and was replaced by the most underrated saint on the roster, Tony Hargrove, I literally saw the game change. (That and Bell's hardnosed running caused the fins D to take out the pass rush specialists, porter and taylor, and send in the big boys to stop the run, which helped Drew get some time back there to work his magic) Once TH got in the game, Henne no longer had room in the pocket to step up because Tony was collapsing it. He had 2 sacks in what seemed like the same series. He's got a fire burning that we need to ride to the superbowl. I hope ellis is going to be ok and come back strong, but TH proved he can fill in, and nicely...even on run downs. He really gets after it!!!

bensonboogie well no sh*t yeah I know he didnt have the playbook down , what about force feeding shockey the ball when he also didnt have it down , not to mention the production , was it a missed block shockey had a few of thoses also .Payton isnt perfect if you think he delivers all the right plays with the right personel all the time , see PT, what kind of idiot keeps force feeding reggie to run up the middle with less than a 3 yard average when you have PT sitting the sidelines .
Not sure you got my point. What does Shock have to do with it? Shockey wasn't a rookie last year. Force feed him or not, its besides the point. It was about position battles in practice, where you and I didn't get to see what happens week in and week out, or hear what the position coach passed along to SP. Blame Payton if you want, but i'm just pointing out that there is more to this game than we see as fans, and a tried and true process that is seldom appreciated by fans exists that determines who goes with the 1s and in which packages.
BTW, Roby was solid last season. You CAN't be serious about picking Harper OVER Arrington. Who had 77 yards receiving on 3 catches? That would be the stat I prefer over 2 punt returns for 79 from our 5th receiver. Reggie is going to be returning punts anyhow; we don't need a punt returner, only a kick returner, and that's what Roby does best!!
Posted by renton1234 on 08/25/09 at 4:33PM
but meachum on the other hand has touched the ball 13 times and has 4 TD for 300 yards if that not potential then I dont know, its not the lack of production, its the lack of being used in meachums case...
Now why do you think he didn't get used? Because Payton is MEAN and STUPID? lol. One first round pick didn't have a grasp of the offense, wasn't ready to play, and didn't win the battle to be a starter in his position group. The other one did, and I know some of you out there don't want to admit it, but Reggie is the STARTER. Call them 1 and 1A if you want, but Reggie is 1st on the depth chart, and IMO he has earned it by working hard during practice, Meachum, because of injury/lack of preparation, did not. I will say that Meachum has since changed his ways, looks phenomanal, and I think should be considered the #3 receiver...and he too has earned that.
Posted by SeenThisB4 on 08/20/09 at 10:06AM
"And one to Meacheum that he actually caught, but was not a good pass."
I disagree. That was a perfectly thrown comback to the 1st down marker. Meachum took a little lick, but moved the chains.
History means nothing! Records mean nothing! As far as individuals in key postions, we have the best squad in the league, period!
Posted by 3rdwardjay on 08/13/09 at 11:31AM
This bruthabi%$h seems like the kind that likes 2 instagate sh^t but when the fight breaks out he's the first 2 run .
Burthaman is a mutt! He knows he has no valid argument. He's like the Detroit D, engauge him, and he crumbles and runs away.
Run away, little ninny!
What happened to your signature botherman? Oops, guess CJ cant catch with his thumb all wrapped up.
Stafford to Sharper, just like his predecessors!
Why? Does Derrick Brooks need a publicist to talk smack about Crabtree?
Posted by lngbchSaint on 08/10/09 at 3:00PM
I can't see this guy sticking considering the group in competition with him for the allotted spots. special teams or not.
Posted by lngbchSaint on 08/10/09 at 3:04PM
Hopefully he will impress in preseason and catch on quickly with a team in need of a high motor special teams guy thats also a decent backup at safety.
Whatchu talkin bout, Willis? IMO Reis is more of a keeper than Usama at this point. The only thing Young has going is he had a SB commercial, and that he wouldn't have to cover Gates again this season, well, at least not until the SB, if the chargers can meet us there.
Someone tell Matt Ryan to stop using Ott's nickname, then. I prefer Matty Suffice anyhow. Being that Ott is a freshman, I think that Ryan probably had the nickname first at BC. That doesn't mean it can't be stripped from him, though.
On a more disturbing note, I read this post and threw up in my mouth a little in disgust!! What a complete MORON!!!!
r3dman1122, I concur, we needed some comic relief. This guy is like Jarjar Binks!
I do worry a little, but mostly concerning Tony G. You saw what Gates did to us last year. Now, we did shut Tony down last year, but he had no QB, and while I don't give Matty (Suff)Ice as much credit as all the bandwagoners that jumped on last year, he is better than Thigpen and will complete. That being said, our safety play, as well as our Nickel and Dime backs are good enough to be starters, which wasn't the case last year with KK, Bullocks, and Usama Young especially. Usama got toasted over and over by Gates last year.
We should be good, I think, as a healthy Will Smith will get after it!
Posted by BASaintsFan on 08/06/09 at 1:31PM
PLEASE ignore the trolls. Insulting a troll is like throwing slop at a pig...it ain't gonna make 'em want to leave.
Don't speak to them, ever.
Don't speak about them, except say "Ignore the trolls".
Don't mention the Lions, at least not until it's actually time to do so.
And most of all, don't respond in any way to anything they post, no matter what.
Stay on topic and respond to your fellow Saints fans as if the troll weren't even there.
Stop feeding the trolls, and eventually they'll go away.
Also, don't forget:
1. Keep them away from water.
2. They hate bright light.
3. The most important rule. No matter how much they cry, no matter how much they beg, never, never feed them after midnight.
HtownSaint, good call! I think that after our 1st round WRs get replaced, we just transition them to coaching positions.
MM hasn't signed anywhere yet, but rosenhaus says he expects he will any day now with someone.
He seems to be in demand, though.
Stafford to Sharper...just like his predecessors!
Brees to Colston/Meacham/Moore/Dev/AA/Shockey/Sean Payton/Waterboy/My Grandmother/My Little Sister
Forget the lions, lets talk some saints football. I think we should draft a receiver in the first round, maybe crabtree if he re-enters, then, in a couple of years after he finally stops being a bust, as he most certainly would be, we trade him for some more draft picks, and use those to pick up more 1st round receivers. If we do that, we can monopolize the market of 1st round WRs for years to come. If any of them succeed, we trade em for more picks and get more WRs. This would give us a lot more "prestige", just like that other really successful franchise in the NFC north.
lol @ gambrker's link!!
It'll probably, or probally for all you Michigan enthusiasts, be stafford playing with his johnson all day, while he's watching the game from the sidelines.

Need Help finding a part for SVdrums
I picked up this SVdrums kit from craigslist here in the USA. It is an interesting kit with cast hoops on the snare drum, and
cast tom iso-mounts. the main part of the bass drum legs are also cast.
The tom riser unit is similar in concept to the DW9900. The tom riser tube does not extend into the base drum, instead it telescopes into itself.
It fits into a receiver that can be moved in a track. This allows the tom rack to slide forward or back and then be clamped in place.
I had not seen this prior to seeing these drums - then I found out about the DW part. This whole drum kit cost me about what the DW 9900BD tom mount lists for. So I am good with needing to replace a missing part.
I have a somewhat matching 16x16 Ludwig floor tom to fill out the kit. So I plan to keep this as a practice and easy transport kit for the few times I might need to go out to play.
see pics here:
It is missing a small part for the tom riser mount on the bass drum.
the tom riser tube has a memory lock clamp that registers in the slot that is 90 degrees from the wingbolt.
It seems that there needs to be a piece that the bolt presses on and,in turn, that piece will press against the riser tube thereby holding in a clamped position.
My search has found a shop in Spain that sells one drum kit with the name SVdrums under a sub heading for a brand called "Silverian". However that kit does not look like mine.
Yesterday evening I sent them an e-mail in English with a copy from a Spanish translation program. I have not heard from them yet - but it is the holidays.
I did find an expired 'for sale' ad in a Spanish second hand listings that showed this same set in a different finish.
The ad was about two years old and listed the used drums at about 800 Euros.
That is pretty much all I know about these drums. I would like to know more as well as find the missing part.
here is a picture of the tom mount with the riser tube removed.
As purchased:
I have searched the internet with very little success in finding the manufacturer or a retailer that can help me.
I hope to find a parts diagram, or someone that can help me locate someone that can help me with what I need.
Drop me a line if you have any ideas or info that might help.
Thanks :)
Re: Need Help finding a part for SVdrums
so you need a small piece of curved metal to fit in the slot?
you can get a piece of 1" EMT at home depot and cut it with a hack saw. not perfect but it will work.

Re: Need Help finding a part for SVdrums
thanks for the tip - As DiY is something I am fond of... I do, in fact, plan to make some sort of DiY part to get by with until I find the original part.
I want the original part as I suspect that it will be chromed, and keyed to fit the slot and have a wrap around tab that will hold it from coming out (as long as the wing bolt is not removed)
Thanks for the bump :)
any one know anything about these?

Biometric Registration Watch
EC: Over 8 million register to vote
Friday, 31 July 2015 19:23
The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that over eight million persons had been registered by the end of the second phase of the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR), as against 6.5 million persons anticipated.
There would therefore be no need to extend the period of BVR.
Biometric Registration Of Prisoners In Limbo
Friday, 31 July 2015 19:23
The novelty to register prisoners across Ghana to enable them vote for the first time in the political history of the country has hit a dead-end. Ghana Prisons Service officials are signaling to Citifmonline.com that the inability of the prison inmates to readily produce a form of national identity– a driver's license, passport, or National Identification card – is making it impossible to carry on with the exercise.
Registration violence can lead Ghana into chaos – Manhyia MP
Friday, 31 July 2015 19:23
A senior member of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Matthew Opoku-Prempeh is predicting what he terms a catastrophic situation for Ghana should the violence which has characterized the ongoing biometric registration exercise continue unabated.
It's an offence to physically stop others from registering - EC Official
Friday, 31 July 2015 19:23
Head of Public Affairs at the Electoral Commission, Mr Christian Owusu Pare, has warned that it is illegal for anyone to physically prevent others from taking part in the ongoing biometric registration exercise.
Pockets of violence have been recorded since the exercise began on Saturday. One person was hacked with a machete Sunday in the Brong Ahafo region while a 12-year-old boy sustained gunshot wounds at the Foase Kokoben Electoral area in Kumasi when an agent of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), in an attempt to control some commotion at a polling centre in the Bekwai Constituency, pulled a gun apparently intending to fire a warning shot but injured the boy in the process.
NPP accuses EC, NDC of manipulation
Friday, 31 July 2015 19:23
The opposition New Patriotic Party is accusing the Electoral Commission of colluding with the ruling National Democratic Congress to manipulate the biometric registration exercise. A statement signed by Michael Kwabena Ampong, Greater Accra Region Director of Communications said new registration centres have been created without the knowledge of the NPP.
