スタッフの態度がよく、名前もよく覚えてくれていました。メトロリンクの駅まで歩いて1分で、館内の施設は非常にきれいでした。(Hotel staff is so professional. She remembers my name so well. So friendly, Cool! It will take a minute to get the Station of MetroLink by walk. Every facility was so clean.) 朝食のバフェの準備がやや遅かった。プールの水がやや新鮮ではなかった。ジャグジーが冷水だった。(Preparation of all-you-can-eat buffet was late. Water in the pool was not fresh. Jacuzzi had a ice-colded water.
メトロリンクの駅前なので、空港からもダウンタウンからもアクセスが便利でした。ロビーで無料でインターネットを使えるのも便利でした。 部屋に掃除しかけの雑巾が放置してあったり、ドアノブにかける表示が置いてなかったりしたのは、残念でした。
The decor and continued renovation to the old station is good. Awesome lobby, rooms clean, plenty to do around the complex. One night wasn't enough. As recommended, use valet parking for both security and convenience. Lobby staff are a bit robotic. Could use some sprucing up in the way of personality and interpersonal skills.
Large room for the price Hard to find your way around. Staff was less than helpful.
Employees was amazing and so was the room. Parking should've been free and guest needs a map of the hotel
Beautiful structure
The Grand Hall Light Show was Spectacular. The buildings history was posted on plaques in various places that was interesting. The building as whole was restored beautifully. Clean room and friendly front desk clerks. The walk to the Ball Park was fine for a couple but was a little far with younger children, although there is city transportation available. Kids loved the pond with fish to feed and the paddle boats, all in all we would book here again. Having to pay $20 to park a night, and had we not be Hilton Honors Reward members we would've had to pay for breakfast as well. The layout was a little off, with the rooms a distance from the lobby. There was a wedding two of the three nights and everything was blocked off made it inconvenient and missed the light show. Very few shops in the shopping center.
Absolutely fantastic experience! The historic building of the hotel was wonderful. Service superb and friendly. They were great at accommodating out big dog and we loved the pet playground, only wish it had been fences on the open side. We will definitely stay here again when in St. Louis!
-very helpful staff -updated, spacious rooms -AWESOME light show -nice bar in the lobby -beautiful architecture Parking is $25 for self park and $35 for valet... I highly recommend the valet! It's definitely worth the extra money. (It seems expensive, but a lot of hotels in downtown areas charge money for parking....)
Staff was outstanding not having enough money to stay longer
Breakfast Buffet Location (right next to the Metrolink) Staff was very helpful Clean, beautiful, comfortable room Paying per day for parking
The historical structure, staff, greeting and planetarium style show on the historic roof of the train station made the stay unique in every way. The property is undergoing construction, which meant some walking to get to the room with our luggage but it was worth it to walk in and around the old train yard and see one of the countries most amazing stations!
I should say, having been born and raised in St. Louis, and having participated in the Theater Project Company's youth theater program before the renovations, I am partial to Union Station. The hotel was renovated lovingly, and every staff member we encountered was friendly, pleasant and helpful. The prices for the room and accommodations were reasonable. And the grand ballroom is something to behold (there's a laser light show every hour in the evenings that is a lot of fun).
The staff was very friendly from check in to the moment we left. The hotel was absolutely beautiful and we loved the historic aspect of it. The hotel is conveniently located near the ballpark, the arch, and other great must see attractions. Breakfast buffet was good. The options for food weren't spectacular but it it was okay. There were weddings two of the nights we were there so the bar and Grand restaurant in the lobby weren't accessible. Mall was a little disappointing but again, nothing that would detract us from returning.


text: Hi everyone, So I'm trying to decide on whether or not I should sell my 2G 16GB ipod touch soon and wait for the 3G ipod touch (3G as in third gen, not 3G network). The camera and mic don't really matter for me. Neither do the slightly upgraded specs. The biggest thing I'm taking into consideration is that people are saying they will drop the 8GB model, thus making: 16 GB - $230 32 GB - $300 64 GB - $400 I would really like a 32GB ipod touch, especially at $300. So what do you guys think? Do you think it's a possibility that a 32GB ipod touch will come out for $300? I'm hoping to get at least $250-275 from selling my current 2G ipod touch (I got it as a gift about a month ago so I can't return it, but it's 100% scratch free, jailbroken, and has a rebeltouch on it with all the included accessories). Thanks

Harley & Annabelle VS. Erick, Ok. Enough childish behavior, WORK TOGETHER!
Posted in the Erick Forum
#1 Nov 5, 2009
I have a suggestion for everyone in Erick regarding Harley and Annabelle. Instead of all this childish name-calling and bickering about them, get to know them and make an effort to incorporate them into the community more. All of this resentment and hatred is extremely petty and do no one any good. If they feel welcome in their hometown and are respected then they will feel obligated to return the kindness. I'm pretty sure that many towns would be PROUD to have such a popular tourist destination and would work with them, not against them! As their popularity grows (and it will) so will the opportunities for local businesses. A good relationship with them could be mutually beneficial, symbiosis. Go talk to them find out who and what they are all about for yourself ignore gossip and unfounded rumors about them and just ASK THEM! If you ask something from them, have something to offer in return. With the opening of the "Cars" theme park your town will most likely see an increase in tourism and international interest, which you could use to the town's advantage! Yes they may seem weird, crude and strange to some, but that is all A SHOW, the REASON people come to see them, P.T. Barnum would be envious!
For H & A, I would strongly urge you to become more active in your community, help out your neighbor and it will eventually be returned. The Sandhills curio shop is an incredible asset to the town, but you must be part of the town and accept more responsibility for your community. If your neighbors see you helping the community they will be less likely to slander you. Get involved with the local chamber of commerce, attend city council meetings! Even if you strongly dislike the people who are a part of it at least you can defend yourself in person and have your say on the matter. In short, GET INVOLVED to make Erick a better place for everyone. I know that what you do is extremely energetic and tiring but make the effort and you will be very glad you did.
H & A are doing well, and even in these tough economic times they continue to do well. Maybe some of the local business people should ask them how they operate, maybe they could learn something from each other. Being one of the attractions of Historic route 66, drawing over 10,000 foreign tourists yearly to spend their money. Due to the dollar being so weak against many foreign currencies, the tourists are more apt to spend money here, as they get a good value for their money. They bring billions of dollars to the U.S.A. en mass, and spend, spend, spend. It's very similar to U.S. Citizens traveling to Mexico for a "Cheap" vacation.
#2 Nov 5, 2009
As for myself, I am a professional motorcycle tour guide, leading 5-8 tours down Historic Route 66 yearly. I always stop at H & A's with my groups to see their unique brand of entertainment. They are a bit crude and "over-the-top" at times, but that's what makes them so appealing. I have known them for 6 years now and I respect them. I am well aware of the difficulties they have encountered from some of the locals, and how BOTH sides have dealt with it, sometimes poorly. I would like to remain neutral and be the voice of reason, from an outsiders perspective. The city of Erick has a great asset in them, and I think they are fools not to embrace them.
Other than the Grand Canyon it is the most enjoyable and talked about experiences for my group participants. Many of them know about them BEFORE they come over here, and ask about them. They are entertainers, and damn good ones! I also like to think of them as friends, and they have made an effort to endorse me as well. I will continue to come into town with tour groups, and if the town had a better resturant and gas station I would make it a point to have lunch and fuel up the motorcycles there instead of Shamrock (where we currently fuel up and eat). I'm just ONE tour guide, there are dozens of us coming through Erick annualy, take advantage of us coming through town. I was raised in Estes Park, Colorado a tourist town, and I know firsthand how beneficial the tourism industry can be to a small local economy. The town could prosper creating good-paying jobs and small business opportunities if everyone works together!
Good luck and I'll see you in April with the next tour group.

P.S. Yes, I'm putting my real name here, as I am not afraid to speak my mind and utilize my first ammendment rights. If you have a problem with what I have said them please have the courage to respond with intelligent reasonable discourse, I will just IGNORE the petty slander and bullshit this forum is filled with. Make a good point and I may agree with you, like I said, I want to remain neutral and open-minded.
I sincerely hope everyone in town wakes up, stops all this childish, idiotic, petty bickering and works together to make Erick a great place to visit!

Oops, sorry, posted the first part twice didn't mean to do that! ;)

Sadly, missing synergistic opportunities over winning the big contest seems to be part of what Erick leadership has been all about for a long long time. No doubt there are a lot of possibilities for improvement but no matter how much grant money or other new business incentives are provided, it really all comes down to a tremendous amount of personal initiative, drive, and perseverance. Harley and Annabelle have demonstrated the level of personal initiative, drive, and perseverance it takes to make it happen and should not be faulted for it at all. Being an independent businessman, I'm sure you understand that very well, mtnphotoman.

All sounds like good advice but I hate to tell you but Harley has no intention of trying to get along. The RMM offered an olive branch when it was being opened and he just broke it and threw it back in their faces. The people running the RMM would have liked to work along side the SHCS they could have helped each other out by sending tourists to each other and giving people more to see in Erick. I don't think Harley is a team player so I don't see them ever getting along.

#9 Nov 5, 2009
I'm pretty sure the majority of Erick agrees with me. I bet you couldn't find fifty people in this town who still support the SHCS and it's all because of you Harley. You know in all the years you have been here I have never seen you at one sporting event or ever at any event at the auditorium. To be honest I have never seen you do one thing with anyone but annebelle in town since you have moved here. I had no problem with you two being loners and keeping to yourselves till you got on here and started your crap. I still remember the post you wrote where you talked about being accused of asking fir tax money so if that is not an admission to being Harley then I don't know what is. Then going back and deleting it just made you look more guilty.
#11 Nov 5, 2009
That is a flat-out lie. That never happened. They tried to convince everybody who came to Erick that the Russells were nutcases. And pretty much succeeded, for awhile.

So I see it continues, childish and petty bickering. I think it's about time that EVERYONE forgets about the past and looks to the future instead. What happened, happened, there's nothing that can change that now. This atavistic behavior is pointless, forget about what happened in the past, and start working on a better tomorrow for everyone. I have had bad things said about me by a couple of tour participants in the past, but it's just that the past. I chalk it up to someone's opinion and forget about it. If I am doing things correctly and make a honest effort then I have nothing to worry about! I listen to my detractors and try to empathize with them and LEARN from them, not call them names and waste time with that garbage. After I have learned as much as I can about them and their opinion I forget about them and MOVE ON with my life!
That's how I deal with it.

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured." Samuel Langhorn Clemens A.K.A. Mark Twain
So stop the bickering and move onward!

Or just laugh about it all!
Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them--and by laughing at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon--laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution--these can lift at a colossal humbug,--push it a little-- crowd it a little--weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand.

mtnphotoman, You've met Harley (the actor) as a tourist, correct? Well, with all due respect, you don't have a clue. Posts like yours just compound the problem by glorifying him and disrespecting the locals. These people have lived around the real Harley for a couple of decades, what makes you think you know more than they do?
#22 Nov 5, 2009
I Don't, but I do see a lot of grown adults acting like children. I'm not glorifying anyone. The past is just that, the past. I have nothing but respect for EVERYONE, until they prove to me otherwise. I am only offering my OPINION on what I see going on there from ALL sides. From what I have seen so far it is my opinion that EVERYONE needs so just get on with their lives and put all this resentment and animosity behind them and just get on with their lives. The longer this goes on the more it will damage EVERYONE.

No. 46753. Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the
Hon. Edward F. Healy, Judge, presiding.
No. 46763. Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the
Hon. Samuel B. Epstein, Judge, presiding.
Robert Plotkin and H. Douglas Laycock, both of Chicago, for appellants.
William J. Scott, Attorney General, of Chicago (Herbert L. Caplan, Assistant Attorney General, of counsel), for appellee.
Lawrence Jay Weiner, of Chicago, for amicus curiae Illinois Education Association.
These consolidated appeals from the circuit court of Cook County involve class actions by members of several teachers' pension funds and others generally challenging the constitutional and statutory legality of Governor Daniel Walker's item reduction of certain appropriations made to these pension funds for the fiscal year 1974. The respective trial courts dismissed the complaints, and we granted direct appeal. 50 Ill.2d R. 302(b).
William J. Scott, Attorney General, of Chicago (Herbert L. Caplan, Assistant Attorney General, of counsel), for appellee.
Lawrence Jay Weiner, of Chicago, for amicus curiae Illinois Education Association.
In cause No. 46753 plaintiffs, the Illinois Federation of Teachers, and certain retired teachers and active teachers, filed a multicount complaint against George W. Lindberg (State Comptroller) and Alan J. Dixon (State Treasurer) seeking a writ of mandamus to compel payment of certain amounts to the respective teacher pension funds. The complaint further sought declaratory relief against Governor Walker's item appropriation reductions. The only matter appealed is the dismissal of the action seeking the declaratory relief.
The complaint in substance involved three teachers' pension plans which are described by plaintiffs as compulsory in nature. The first pension program was designated in the complaint as the "Downstate System." (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 108 1/2, par. 16-101 et seq.) Plaintiffs alleged that the requisite statutory pension provisions required the State to make contributions to the "Downstate System" of $205,600,000 for the fiscal year 1974 as was determined in a prior action before the Illinois Court of Claims. That court had concluded that a contract existed between the teachers and the State as evidenced by constitutional and statutory provisions hereinafter enumerated. The complaint further alleged that the State was indebted to the "Downstate System" for a total amount of nearly 2.15 billion dollars which had developed from past years of inadequate funding. Plaintiffs averred that in an effort to discharge this obligation the General Assembly appropriated the fiscal amount designated by the Court of Claims. However, the Governor, in the exercise of his constitutionally delegated authority, reduced the amount to $96,000,000, and the General Assembly did not restore the original amount by a majority vote of each house of the legislature as constitutionally permitted. Ill. Const. (1970), art. IV, sec. 9(d).
The second pension plan herein involved was termed the "Universities Systems" plan. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 108 1/2, par. 15-101 et seq.) The complaint alleged the Court of Claims had certified that the State's indebtedness to this pension fund for the 1974 fiscal year was $55,882,691 and that the past overall State indebtedness is .51 billion dollars. The General Assembly appropriated $66,908,000 for the "Universities Systems" fund, but this amount was reduced by the Governor to $20,190,000. The General Assembly failed to restore the amount by which the appropriation had been reduced.
The third pension plan, which was not involved before the Court of Claims, was described in the complaint as the "Chicago Fund." (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 108 1/2, par. 17-101 et seq.) The complaint alleged that the State debt to this plan for fiscal year 1974 was $23,666,799 and the past indebtedness totaled .84 billion dollars. The General Assembly, to meet the current obligations and to amortize past debt, appropriated $57,707,000 for the fiscal year, which the Governor reduced to $27,000,000. The General Assembly failed to restore the reduced amount.
Cause No. 46763 was a separate class action filed on behalf of various university teaching associations and certain members and beneficiaries of the "Universities Systems" pension plan. These plaintiffs sought the same declaratory relief as requested in cause No. 46753. This complaint, however, with greater specificity set forth the General Assembly appropriations to this pension fund. The complaint alleged the appropriation for current expenditures was $54,759,100 and this was reduced to $20,190,000 by the Governor. A separate appropriation bill for $12,138,599 was designed to amortize accrued unfunded liability, but this bill was vetoed.
It was averred that the Governor's reason for reducing the pension appropriation "was consistent with the historically sound system of the Federal Social Security System." No allegation was advanced in either complaint that those presently entitled to receive pension benefits were not receiving the necessary monies.
The possibility exists that criticism could arise due to the fact that members of this court might be affected by the decision due to our participation in the judicial retirement pension provisions of the Pension Code. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 108 1/2, par. 18-101 et seq.) But in an analogous case the United States Supreme Court stated:
"* * * Because of the individual relation of the members of this court to the question * * * we cannot but regret that its solution falls to us; and this although each member has been paying the tax in respect of his salary voluntarily and in regular course. But jurisdiction of the present case cannot be declined or renounced. The plaintiff was entitled by law to invoke our decision on the question as respects his own compensation, in which no other judge can have any direct personal interest; and there was no other appellate tribunal to which under the law he could go." Evans v. Gore (1920), 253 U.S. 245, 247-48, 64 L.Ed. 887, 40 S.Ct. 550.
In asserting that the Governor's action exceeded his constitutional authority all plaintiffs rely on section 5 of article XIII of the 1970 Constitution, which they contend was adopted precisely to forestall the possible insolvency of the pension system. This provision reads:
"Membership in any pension or retirement system of the State, any unit of local government or school district, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, shall be an enforceable contractual relationship, the benefits of which shall not be diminished or impaired."
They argue this provision creates a contractual relationship between the State and participants in the pension systems which the Governor may not infringe by use of his power to reduce or veto appropriations.
In Peters v. City of Springfield (1974), 57 Ill.2d 142, we had occasion to consider this provision. There a home-rule municipality lowered the retirement age for its firemen, which, under the appropriate section of the Pension Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 108 1/2, par. 4-109), would probably decrease the pension amount to be received. In upholding the action of the municipality we examined the constitutional convention debates pertaining to this provision and concluded "that the purpose and intent of the constitutional provision was to insure that pension rights of public employees which had been earned should not be `diminished or impaired' but that it was not intended, and did not serve, to prevent the defendant City from reducing the maximum retirement age, even though the reduction might affect the pensions which plaintiffs would ultimately have received." 57 Ill.2d 142, 152.
We have again examined the debates concerning the application of this provision to the necessity of providing certain funding to the various pension plans during a particular fiscal period. As recognized in Peters, the tenor of the debates was primarily concerned with assuring members of pension plans that they would receive the money due them at the time of their retirement. The question of the specific funding of compulsory pension programs was discussed, and Delegate Kinney, a cosponsor of the provision, stated: "It was not intended to require 100 per cent funding or 50 per cent or 30 per cent funding or get into any of those problems, aside from the very slim area where a court might judicially determine that imminent bankruptcy would really be impairment." (4 Record of Proceedings, Sixth Illinois Constitutional Convention 2929; also see 4 Proceedings 2926.) Comparable interpretations of the provision's effect as applied to these appeals were echoed by Delegates Lyons, Whalen (4 Proceedings 2929) and President Witwer (4 Proceedings 2932). While Delegate Green expressed the opinion that the legislature should adequately fund the pension systems in accordance with the actuarial principles (4 Proceedings 2925, 2931), the convention debates do not establish the intent to constitutionally require a specific level of pension appropriations during a fiscal period. There is also no basis from which it might be argued that the provision was intended to restrict the Governor's constitutional authority to reduce or veto a pension appropriation measure. And it cannot be said that under the circumstances this constitutional provision affords plaintiffs the right to judicially circumvent the Governor's actions taken herein.
Plaintiffs also argue that these actions were commenced in order to secure the performance of the State's statutory funding obligations. It is the plaintiffs' position that the pertinent provisions of the Pension Code establish and define a contractual relationship between themselves and the State which obligates the State to fulfill its funding commitments. Plaintiffs argue that the respective pension statutes do not contain provisions that make the amount of State contributions subject to the political or fiscal exigencies of the Governor's budgetary priorities. They maintain that the clear intent of the statutes is to place the funding of the pension trusts upon a solid actuarial basis. Moreover, they conclude that the State's obligations were established by prior legislative action and the Governor's conduct, in effect, improperly operated to nullify pre-existing law.
Plaintiffs have strongly argued that this court adopt the "contract view" relating to this form of public-employee pension plan and have cited numerous cases from other jurisdictions in support of their position. As noted in the Opinion of the Justices (Mass. 1973), 303 N.E.2d 320, 326, the character of public-employee pension programs has not been definitely established (see also Cohn, Public Employee Retirement Plans The Nature of Employees' Rights, 1968 U. Ill. L.F. 32) and an attempt to precisely define the nature of the relationship has been rejected (Spina v. Consolidated Police and Firemen's Pension Fund Com. (1964), 41 N.J. 391, 197 A.2d 169).
We must determine whether the participants or their beneficiaries under the respective sections of the Pension Code now at issue enjoy a present contractual right to enforce a specific level of funding to the plans. As previously noted, the pension systems involved in these consolidated appeals are compulsory in nature. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 108 1/2, pars. 15-134, 16-123(1), 17-130; see also Gorham v. Board of Trustees of Teachers' Retirement System (1963), 27 Ill.2d 593, 596.) In Bergin v. Board of Trustees of Teachers' Retirement System (1964), 31 Ill.2d 566, 574, we stated: "It has long been settled that compulsory participation in a statutory pension plan confers no vested rights, thus permitting amendment, change or repeal as the legislature sees fit."
Each teacher pension plan involved in this appeal is funded from teachers' compulsory contributions, State monies and investment income earned from these funds. The respective statutes each set forth the contributions requirements of their respective members. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 108 1/2, pars. 15-157, 16-152, 17-130.) To complement these funds the respective statutes contain provisions for employer contributions. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 108 1/2, pars. 15-155, 16-158, 17-127 and 17-128.) The complaint in cause No. 46753 alleges, and defendants do not dispute, that State contributions to these pension plans are obligations of the State (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 108 1/2, pars. 15-156, 16-162).
In asserting their claim of a presently enforceable contractual right to a financially sound retirement system plaintiffs in cause No. 46753 claim that the statutory provisions require State contributions for the pension systems to be made on an actuarial basis. In particular they direct our attention to the "Downstate System" providing that the amount of State contributions "shall be no less than 1.2 multiplied by members' contributions * * *." Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 108 1/2, par. 16-158.
Plaintiffs in cause No. 46763 involving the "Universities Systems" argue that section 15-155 reflects the contractual concept and mandates certain appropriations to be made. In support of their position they cite a 1967 amendment to section 15-155 which reads as follows:
"The contributions of employers from State appropriations for any fiscal year shall not be less than an amount which is required to fund fully the current service costs in accordance with actuarial reserve requirements as prescribed in paragraph (1) of this Section, plus interest at the prescribed rate on the unfunded accrued liabilities." Laws of 1967, at 4216-4217.
They construe the term "current service costs" to mean the actuarial requirements for contributions for the fiscal year necessary to enable the "Universities Systems" to pay the pensions of current employees as they retire.
We must reject the statutory basis upon which plaintiffs seek to establish a contractual relationship. Prior to the enactment of the Pension Code in 1963 and during a period of time when the decisions of this court clearly established no vested right in compulsory statutory pension plans for public employees, the predecessor provisions of the respective pension statutes were similarly drafted. Prior statutes reflected that State contributions were an obligation of the State. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1961, ch. 122, par. 25-77; ch. 144, par. 104.) Before the adoption of the present Pension Code, the "Downstate System" also contained the provision relating to State contributions being set in an amount of 1.2 in excess of those contributed by the employees. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1961, ch. 122, par. 25-67.) In addition, the statutory basis for estimating the amount of State contributions needed for a fiscal year in the "Downstate System" has remained the same. Compare Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 108 1/2, par. 16-159, with Ill. Rev. Stat. 1961, ch. 122, par. 25-68.
The 1967 amendment to section 15-155 in the "Universities Systems" does not evidence the legislative intent ascribed to that revision by certain plaintiffs. We perceive no attempt to establish a vested contractual relationship by this revision, and there would appear to be no significant change in this regard from the predecessor to section 15-155. See Ill. Rev. Stat. 1961, ch. 144, par. 86.
In summary, had the legislature intended to establish a present contractual relationship when the Pension Code was enacted in 1963, thereby affording plaintiffs the possible statutory basis to challenge necessary appropriations, it would have been a simple matter to so state. (E.g., see Opinion of the Justices (Mass. 1973), 303 N.E.2d 320, 324.) Rather we are of the opinion that the provisions upon which plaintiffs rely to establish the contractual relationship were merely engrafted from prior pension laws which had been construed as not conferring a vested right.
Having found no presently existing contractual right created by statute upon which to base a challenge to appropriations reductions or item veto, we need not consider the implication of whether the Governor's action infringed the Federal or State constitutional guarantees against the impairment of contracts. U.S. Const., art. I, sec. 10; Ill. Const. (1970), art. I, sec. 16.
With regard to plaintiffs' claim that the Governor's action in effect resulted in the nullification of existing pension statutes, it is to be noted that section 9(d) of article IV of the 1970 Constitution plainly provides that "The Governor may reduce or veto any item of appropriations in a bill presented to him." (Emphasis added.) If an item is vetoed, the General Assembly, by the three-fifths vote of each house, may override the veto. (Ill. Const. (1970), art. IV, sec. 9(c).) If an appropriation is reduced in amount, the amount may be restored by a majority vote of each house of the General Assembly. Ill. Const. (1970), art. IV, sec. 9(d).
While plaintiffs have cited numerous cases to the effect that a court may declare an executive veto void, the vast majority of those decisions involve situations where a governor reduced an appropriation item rather than vetoing it, thereby exceeding his authority delegated under the respective constitutional provisions which in most instances granted the authority only to veto an item. (E.g., Fergus v. Russel (1915), 270 Ill. 304; Mills v. Porter (1924), 69 Mont. 325, 222 P. 428.) This result would not occur under our present State Constitution.
Another case relied upon is State ex rel. Nunez v. Baynard (La. App. 1943), 15 So.2d 649. The decision is inapplicable, for the amount of the appropriation vetoed by the Governor was specifically mandated by that State's constitution.
The only resembling case cited by plaintiffs is Fitzsimmons v. Leon (1st Cir. 1944), 141 F.2d 886. There a governmental official's salary had been previously established by statute. In subsequent appropriation bills the Governor lessened the statutorily specified amount by utilization of his authority to reduce appropriations. The court's rationale, as relevant to these appeals, seems to have been resolved on its determination that the Governor's action was not the mere reduction of an appropriation bill, as here, but rather an attempt to modify general legislation.
We do not find Leon to be persuasive for the proposition advanced by plaintiffs. As related to these appeals, the court in Leon premised its constitutional basis upon authorities which do not support its conclusion. In Bengzon v. Secretary of Justice (1936), 299 U.S. 410, 81 L.Ed. 312, 57 S.Ct. 252, the item which was vetoed was not even construed as an appropriation measure. In the Opinion of the Justices (1936), 294 Mass. 616, 2 N.E.2d 789, the court was presented with a situation wherein the Governor transferred an appropriation to a separate fund, thereby transgressing his constitutional authority.
But even if Leon is to be considered as affording a Federal constitutional basis for plaintiffs' challenge, this court is not bound by that case. (People v. Stansberry (1971), 47 Ill.2d 541, 544.) Rather we adhere to this court's prior decision in People ex rel. Millner v. Russel (1924), 311 Ill. 96. In Millner the relator was appointed an assistant Attorney General. A previously enacted statute fixed his salary at a certain amount, and the necessary funds were appropriated by the General Assembly. The Governor vetoed this salary appropriation, and the relator filed an original action for mandamus to compel payment of his statutorily set salary. The 1870 Constitution (art. V, sec. 16) empowered the Governor to veto an appropriation item. The court sustained the Governor's action, stating that the Constitution made no distinction in the type of salary appropriation bill presented and that the Governor could therefore exercise his constitutionally delegated veto power. Similarly, under the circumstances presented in these appeals, we conclude that the Governor could properly utilize his veto or item-reduction authority over the pension appropriation bills.
Plaintiffs have asserted that the respective pension systems are inadequately funded. The question of the specific fiscal appropriations necessary to meet these deficiencies is one which, at this time, should be directed to the legislature.
Accordingly, the judgments of the circuit court of Cook County are affirmed.
Judgments affirmed.

NC Policy Watch friend and occasional contributor, Forsyth County public schoolteacher Stuart Egan, has authored another one of his fine open letters to a powerful politician about our public schools. The latest is a passionate plea directed to Senator Richard Burr regarding Donald Trump's troubling plan to nominate Michigan Amway queen Betsy Devos as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education.
Senator Burr,
As the senior senator of our state embarking on your third term in office, your voice in the national arena carries both weight and experienced perspective. And while you and I share many differing opinions on issues that affect our country, I do believe that we share a passion to make sure that all students have access to a great public education.
In preparing to cast my vote this past election, I did review your website to glean your perspective on some issues that seemed to become lost in the national debate with what might be one of the more bombastic presidential elections in history. On your www.burrforsenate.com website, you posted on op-ed you wrote for the Fayetteville Observer entitled "Giving our children a better future."
In it you made statements such as:
"Our children are the future of North Carolina, and they represent the best of us. I am proud to be an avid defender of North Carolina students in the Senate."
"As a part of my commitment to defending North Carolina students, I was proud to offer an amendment to fix a long-standing inequality in education funding that has shortchanged North Carolina's teachers, schools and low-income students for over 15 years."
"My amendment makes sure that federal education funding meant for schools that serve kids from low-income families actually goes to those very schools."
"This means that with more education dollars coming to North Carolina, we will have more teachers in North Carolina helping our students get a great education."
"We have made great strides this Congress to deliver control of K-12 education back to local communities, while making sure limited federal education funding is going to the communities that need it the most. But making sure that our children are getting the best education possible is going to be an ongoing fight for North Carolina families in Washington. I'm pledging to continue fighting for North Carolina's schools, teachers and students, because a brighter future for North Carolina students means a brighter future for North Carolina."
What I sense in these words is a commitment to our public schools.
In fact, you are the son of a former public school teacher and a graduate of R.J. Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem. I teach at another school in Reynolds's district, West Forsyth High School, and am proud to report that Reynolds still holds an incredible reputation as a historically effective institution and I know many of the fantastic teachers who work there.
However, we are experiencing in North Carolina a decline in teacher candidates. Why? Because public education is under attack. And when public education is under attack by "re-forming" efforts like vouchers and unregulated charter school growth then communities suffer. Your wife is a leading realtor in the Triad area. I feel very confident that she could tell you the effect that the public school system has on the "value" of property in our communities.
I say all of this because President-elect Trump has appointed a candidate to lead the nation's public schools who very well may be the most unqualified individual to ever be considered for the position.
And you have the power to help keep that from happening.

Please enter your comments below.
Two things.
First, in spite of all the whining you're hearing on your radio, Biden was absolutely correct about the need to regulate Wall Street criminality. Second, birthers can just make with shutting their lying ignorant pie holes right this very moment.
Biden Comments
What Joey doesn't seem to want to tell you, is that the Democrats under Bill Clinton really got us where we are today. Remember High Risk mortgages. Remember making it MANDATORY to give people of low credit worthiness mortgages. The Republicans did some stupid things but not the underhanded give them mortgages or ELSE!
Two things
You know "Two Things," the Messiah can put an end to all of this "BIRTHER" stuff by simple unlocking access to his College Records. But you must be well aware that if he does so he will be driven from office and sent to jail. PROVE ME WRONG!!!!
One Thing
You are an idiot. If you had a brain you would realize this administration is giving this once GREAT country a death warrant.
Of Course
A Liberal opened his mouth and his hate filled lying lock step lines of garbage come spuilling out, and the leftest say" it's ok , we can say anything we like, at anytime we like , truth doesnt matter to us on the left, we make it up when ever we want"

It doesn't matter how many comments are made/said. Until the people stand up for their rights against the government and kick them all out, we are all headed on the track of being a communism run Country.

Not Outside the Family
"[The] ever so destructive dictum of Arab cultural nationalism: never wash your laundry in public, and especially not where a westerner can see you."
-- Kanan Makiya, Cruelty and Silence, p. 321.
There are three items on Syria and Lebanon that I want to broach. One is Josh's latest post. Second is a comment to my post on Makiya's editorial by an anonymous reader. Third is Michael Young's op-ed in the DS today.
There is much to tackle in Michael's piece, and I will come back to it when I address Josh's post in length. But I would like to comment on this section of the op-ed:
In Damascus, the UN's special envoy, Terje Roed-Larsen, was apparently made to understand (during a meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Farouq al-Sharaa) that insistence on implementation of Resolution 1559 was having a "negative impact" on Lebanon. If true, that was an underhanded threat to turn Lebanese stability into a hostage to Syrian interests. Roed-Larsen surely got the message; he reportedly emerged from the meeting with Sharaa looking unhappy, and was initially denied an audience with President Bashar Assad, the man he tried so hard to promote as a peacemaker weeks ago on an earlier Syrian visit.
It was but a small victory for Assad, as Roed-Larsen's backhand, if Syria persists in playing hardball, is likely to be a negative report on implementation of Resolution 1559 in April. Syria earned celebrity status last week as one of the very few states U.S. President George W. Bush listed in his latest gallery of rogues. In Paris on Tuesday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and French President Jacques Chirac demanded that Syria implement Resolution 1559 and allow transparent Lebanese elections. So, if the Syrians believe that heightening domestic friction among its Lebanese allies and opponents is the best way of confronting this growing international impatience with, if not hostility toward, Damascus, then Assad is being as shortsighted as a former ophthalmologist dares.
That is all true, but it clearly had an effect in Lebanon. The message of the Syrians is that they don't want to give the perception that they have caved to outside pressure. They want this to be resolved within the Taef framework. That is, keeping it in the family. If not, they'll use violence in Lebanon, which they showcased with the attempt on MP Hamade's life. The Lebanese are afraid of that. That in itself is significant because it dispells a lot of the myth that the Lebanese need the Syrians or else they will kill each other. In fact, the Lebanese are much wiser than that, and the only ones who will be responsible for violence are Syria and its cronies.
So how did the Lebanese opposition respond? Walid Jumblat and Nasib Lahoud have expressed willingness to work within the Taef framework (as opposed to 1559) as long as the result is the same: full withdrawal of the Syrian troops and security apparatus. This is important because what the Syrians want is to use the Taef ploy to maintain the status quo. Perhaps do some cosmetic reshuffling of the army or some symbolic move like shutting down the Anjar security office, but leaving the edifice intact. The opposition won't fall for that. They are trying to kill two birds with one stone: 1- debunk all the Stalinist accusations that they are agents of foreign powers and Israel, and 2- show the Syrians that their interests lie in dialoguing with them, not the pro-Syrian cronies. The opposition doesn't want to embarrass Syria, but will not allow the status quo to continue. There must be a new diplomatic relation based on new terms.
Walid Jumblat made a statement after meeting Terje-Roed Larsen that what brought things to this state was the decision by the Syrians to extend Emile Lahoud's term. I.e., don't blame us, your stupid political move is what brought the international community down on you. For his part, Larsen stressed that the Lebanese and Syrians should not challenge the international community on 1559. But, he said, if the Syrians and the Lebanese want to solve this within the Taef framework, then fine. Assad reportedly was pleased with that statement and is now going to meet with Larsen.
But Assad shouldn't delude himself. Jumblat stressed to Larsen that the Syrians should understand that by going back to the Taef we mean a full, and literal implementation (i.e. not "in the spirit of the agreement" which gives the Syrians wiggling room), i.e., a full withdrawal and dismantling of the security apparatuses. Jumblat said that's the only alternative to the internationalization of the problem. His proposal is that the Syrians redeploy before the elections, and that they should follow a schedule set by a national government born of the elections. It seems that Christian opposition (Qornet Shehwan) member Nasib Lahoud agrees. Larsen also stressed the need to send the army to the south and disarming Hizbullah. Lahoud ducked a question on the issue.
So what does this mean? It's mainly positive, but it's a bit of a gamble. For one, Jumblat clearly parted from the line of the Maronite Patriarch who came out strong in favor of 1559. However, the fact that Nasib Lahoud agrees with Jumblat on this might signal that the Patriarch will go along, as Lahoud is part of the Qornet Shehwan gathering which coordinates closely with the Patriarch. The trick of course will be to basically transfer all the terms of UNSCR 1559 to the Taef framework. That's what Jumblat seems to be aiming for. If this settles the tensions, and takes away a card from the Syrians, preventing them from fabricating a violent episode in Lebanon, then Jumblat will take it. The Christian opposition will have no choice but to play along, and why not if the result is the same? Besides, it's not like UNSCR 1559 is going away.
You can see that Jumblat is trying to ensure that the same terms of 1559 are kept. That's why he's insisting on free elections. Part of his proposal is that the Syrian government abides by the schedule of a freely elected national government (which is a wink at the Christian opposition as well). This has been a point stressed by Larsen, the French and the US. The Syrians should not interfere. It behooves the Syrians not to, as the Lebanon issue has become the common ground between the French and the US. It's their way to show agreement and cooperation. The US is framing it in the context of the democratization of the ME. This excerpt from Condi's speech at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris summarizes it best:
Our efforts in Lebanon also show that the transatlantic partnership means what it says in supporting freedom. The United States and France, together, sponsored UN Security Council Resolution 1559. We have done this to accelerate international efforts to restore full sovereignty to the Lebanese people, and to make possible the complete return of what was once vibrant political life in that country.
The next step in that process should be the fourth free democratic election in the region -- fair and competitive parliamentary elections this spring, without foreign interference.
In Lebanon and in the Palestinian territories, in Afghanistan and in Iraq, and throughout all of the broader Middle East and North Africa, the nature of the political conversation is changing. Ordinary citizens are expressing thoughts and acting together in ways that they have not done before. These citizens want a future of tolerance, opportunity, and peace -- not of repression.
The French have also stressed the need for the elections to be free from interference. Take this statement by Michel Barnier:
We often hear what divides us, our disagreements. But also, this afternoon you reminded us of everything that brings us together, everything that we do together on a daily basis: in Kosovo, for the stability of the Balkans; in Afghanistan, against terrorism and also for the renewal of that country; in Haiti, for progress and peace; the war against terrorism everywhere we have together; and recently, with Resolution 1559 for sovereignty and integrity of the Lebanon.
Condi's response drove it home, again framing it within the context of US efforts to spread democracy in the ME:
We talked, also, about the elections in Iraq and the opportunity before us now to support the Iraqi people as they try to build a better future, and about the many democratic changes that are taking place across the world, the elections that have taken place in the Palestinian territories, in Iraq and Afghanistan. And I think that we agree completely that Resolution 1559, on which the United States and France cooperated, which really does speak to the importance of non-interference by foreign forces in Lebanon's affairs. We agree that there should be elections, perhaps a fourth free election, in the Middle East, and that should be Lebanon. And that election should take place under circumstances that are free of that interference. And so, we look forward to the many opportunities before us.
I think Josh missed that point.
The gamble is that Jumblat is willing to alleviate international pressure on Syria as long as it essentially does what is asked of her in 1559. It's not a foolish gamble by any means, as Jumblat knows firsthand that if the Syrians threaten to use force and start up violence in Lebanon, they mean it. They certainly have the cronies to do it. So he's trying a quid pro quo. In the end, like I said earlier, UNSCR 1559 is not going away! In fact, Jumblat aside, the US and France are using it for their own purposes as well, so it's not like this whole thing hangs on Jumblat and the opposition. This is part of US and French relations with Syria. They will not be snubbed, which is precisely what the young Assad and his idiotic Foreign Minister have been doing.
So like Michael said, if Assad thinks that his threats will get him out of trouble, he's one shortsighted ophthalmologist. The best it can do is save him the embarrassment (before his own people, who seem to believe that his bad foreign policy is "nationalistic" in that he's standing up to the US!) of caving in to US and French demands. China and Russia are not going to do anything for him. The only people who can save his face, ironically, are the Lebanese opposition! Once again, it shows you that Lebanon is not only Syria's window to relevance, it's also far more savvy politically than the struggling young Syrian president and his dying rigid regime.
Pluralist democracies, like Lebanon, are in fact much more equipped to deal with change through compromise. The Syrian authoritarian regime needs stalemate to survive. That's why I agree with Farid el-Khazen's thesis (in The Breakdown of the State in Lebanon: 1967-1976) that the Lebanese system might have been able to adjust on its own to internal changes (the political consciousness of the Shiites, the proportional ratio in parliament, etc.). It wasn't that internal make-up that caused the system to break down in the war. It was external pressures (Arabism, Nasser, PLO) mixed together with the internal problems that broke it (Cole's stupid theory is utter nonsense). I think the anonymous reader was hinting at the same thing with his reference to regional circumstances. We're seeing those external threats today with the Syrians threatening to blow up the Lebanese interior (so much for the theory of Syria as a guarantor of stability!!!). The difference is the way the Lebanese interior is dealing with it. This should give skeptics a bit to think about: consociational democracies, despite all their problems, are a million times better than rigid authoritarian regimes with all their promise of "stability."
Addendum: The only caveat is the issue of Hizbullah. Both Lahoud and Jumblat are circumventing it. Larsen meanwhile is stressing it, which means the UN (and definitely the US) will still apply pressure on that point, especially in Larsen's report in the spring. But Jumblat is trying to show Hizbullah that the resistance card is futile (see my previous post "Jumblat and Hizbullah"). He's maintaining that the Shebaa Farms thing is solvable through negotiations, and he won't accept Lebanon to be the only front (hint to Syria) against Israel. So Jumblat is trying to settle it internally, and he's still at the same time reaching out to Hizbullah to drag them into the process. Nasrallah's reactions have been negative, and he took a public step when he went to the Berri-sponsored pro-Syria meeting. Also, his rhetoric has been overly maximalist. However, I still think that it's all for internal Shiite consumption. He was outmaneuvered (as Michael pointed out) by Berri, and he was put in a corner where he had to attend the meeting. He couldn't let Berri paint him as anti-resistance and somehow a puppet of outside forces like the opposition. The rhetoric is to maintain relevance in the Shiite community. But at the same time, Nasrallah must be worried about the Syrian withdrawal and the removal of the Shebaa card. So I think he hasn't made up his mind where he stands, which is probably why Jumblat is still extending a line to him. Who knows? Maybe Jumblat has other reasons.
Another side effect of the shift to the Taef might be the coming out of Hariri from his silence. He was on the fence, and maybe this will give him a good cover to join in with Jumblat. Again, we'll see.

Weight: 1.2Kg Personal thoughts? Nice, basicly unlimited functionality because of the several operation systems to choose from. Downside is that this thing will be fat as an elephant and will probably have terrible batterytime compared to the iPad. Next to that the interface will be crap (I dont mind the looks of windows, but touching windows icons @ 1024*768? I'm crying aready.) I think this device is what a lot of people hoped the iPad to be (but with OSX that is). This is also exactly the reason why should be glad the iPad didnt turn out that way. The iPad will kick the iTablets ass for three simple reasons, its light and thin, batterylife is awesome and the interface is pretty much perfect for finger/mobile use (even though it has a lot of limitations).

An interactive simulation of Earth's seasonal dynamics that includes the axial tilt and other aspects of Earth's annual cycle.
This is part of a larger lab from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln: http://astro.unl.edu/naap/motion1/motion1.html
In this activity, students develop an understanding of the relationship between natural phenomena, weather, and climate change: the study known as phenology. In addition, they learn how cultural events are tied to the timing of seasonal events. Students brainstorm annual natural phenomena that are tied to seasonal weather changes. Next, they receive information regarding the Japanese springtime festival of Hanami, celebrating the appearance of cherry blossoms. Students plot and interpret average bloom date data from over the past 1100 years.
This animated visualization of precession, eccentricity, and obliquity is simple and straightforward and provides text explanations. It is a good starting place to show Milankovitch cycles.
Hands-on laboratory activity that allows students to investigate the effects of distance and angle on the input of solar radiation at Earth's surface, the role played by albedo, the heat capacity of land and water, and how these cause the seasons. Students predict radiative heating based on simple geometry and experiment to test their hypotheses.
In this classroom activity, students analyze visualizations and graphs that show the annual cycle of plant growth and decline. They explore patterns of annual change for the globe and several regions in each hemisphere that have different land cover and will match graphs that show annual green-up and green-down patterns with a specific land cover type.
This activity develops students' understanding of climate by having them make in-depth examinations of historical climate patterns using both graphical and map image formats rather than presenting a general definition of climate. Students explore local climate in order to inform a pen pal what type of weather to expect during an upcoming visit. Students generate and explore a variety of graphs, charts, and map images and interpret them to develop an understanding of climate.
An interactive that illustrates the relationships between the axial tilt of the Earth, latitude, and temperature. Several data sets (including temperature, Sun-Earth distance, daylight hours) can be collected using this interactive.
In this hands-on lesson, students measure the effect of distance and inclination on the amount of heat felt by an object and apply this experiment to building an understanding of seasonality. In Part 1, the students set up two thermometers at different distances from a light bulb and record their temperatures to determine how distance from a heat source affects temperature. In Part 2, students construct a device designed to measure the temperature as a function of viewing angle toward the Sun by placing a thermometer inside a black construction paper sleeve, and placing the device at different angles toward the Sun. They then explain how distance and inclination affect heat and identify situations where these concepts apply, such as the seasons on Earth and the NASA Mercury MESSENGER mission.
In this activity for undergraduates, students explore the CLIMAP (Climate: Long-Range Investigation, Mapping and Prediction) model results for differences between the modern and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and discover the how climate and vegetation may have changed in different regions of the Earth based on scientific data.
This three-part, hands-on investigation explores how sunlight's angle of incidence at Earth's surface impacts the amount of solar radiation received in a given area. The activity is supported by PowerPoint slides and background information.

text: The lights dim, and Aids Johnson walks out to a crowd popping loudly, doing his normal Scott Hall stride down, before posing at the top of the ramp. Aids signifies a belt around his waist, and then jogs down into the ring before sliding in. He forgoes the corners, going straight towards the person handing him a microphone, and his bottle of scotch. The champ! IS! DK James *Crowd pops loudly* but the GOAT is here. This Wrestlemania we have seen a lot of big name returns, new names have risen - while older names have fallen. I vow not to be that person, but I have decided the best thing i can do for the IWT universe, is to allow DK James to have his time in the limelight at Wrestlemania, and he has more than earned it. Sure, I might as well have no-showed the EC match, and Dolph's and Trip most certainly were the performers who did the most in our match, but honestly all that matters...is who won the match. I tip my hat to DK James, because now he knows what it feels like to be hated. He knows what disrespect and jealously look like, while all the other competitors shame themselves by taking their shots at you, and most importantly he has handled his time on the top well. Now does this mean this is the end of Aids Johnson? No, far from it. I have too many accolades to allow myself to move down the card with the likes of the Dat Kid's and Alkaline's of this company, but what i do have is a plan for the future of the IWT. You all are in the process of witnessing what my first member is adding to the 3rd generation of IWT, but that is far from the end. You see, I am going to be waiting until Extreme Rules to use my rematch clause, and if it is Bruce Knight *small pop* DK James *huge pop* - or a 3rd competitor to the IWT match, I intend on letting my track record speak for itself at extreme rules, and I not only intend to come out as your IWT champion, no. I will be walking out as IWT champion and the future leadership of the company. You see Jonathan has openly admitted he has avoided my match requests in the past, and clearly is facing the unknown because it is well known he jobs. Our other GM has been less active than Frank the Jock is during the peak of Ice cream rapi...I mean sales in the country. The future of the company looks greater daily, and it is all because of what I intend on bringing to the IWT. Let's face it, there is going to be a change in the IWT after wrestlemania. There will be only two options; you can get on the bus, or run beside it as we drive away without you. The choice is yours. Oh, and as far as Wrestlemania goes, you can plan on seeing me there, in one way or another. Your future four time IWT champion is finished here. Aids takes a pull from his bottle, and laughs as the crowd chants between *We've got AIDS* and *Aids just sucks* while Aids Johnson walks up the ramp, shaking his head.


text: Amazing. Rep. Jim McCrery March 2, 2005, 9:22 PM EST Amazing. Rep. Jim McCrery (R) of Louisiana has gotten a local cable TV station to stop running an ad questioning his stance on Social Security by threatening to sue for defamation because the ad claims he wants to "privatize" Social Security.McCrery, of course, openly supports diverting Social Security payroll taxes to create private accounts, i.e., privatization.As it happens, Rep. McCrery is something of a past master at the old 'privatization' word game flimflam. Just before the 2002 election, when the National Journal asked him whether Republican pledges to oppose 'privatization' would complicate later efforts to pass the Bush plan, he responded thus ...In the view of Rep. Jim McCrery, R-La., a key member of the House Ways and Means Committee, Republican candidates aren't boxing themselves in on the issue. "Most Republicans say they oppose Social Security privatization," McCrery said. "That doesn't hurt us. So far, only one or two have said they have a problem with personal retirement accounts."That's old Shifty Jim.
