New Options Funeral Service
Memory Book
Where do I start?
Of course there are several good answers to this question depending upon your current situation. If you are beginning to think about advance planning for yourself or a family member click
. If a family members death appears to be imminent click
. If the death has already occurred click
What do I do if the death of a family member is imminent?
The first thing to consider is what type of service you're interested in. There are several types of services available, click
to view an informal description of each, for a detailed breakdown and pricing please click
Once you've determined which option is best for you, it's then important to start gathering the information needed by the mortuary to process the death certificate as well as particular wishes in regard to the service. You can download our guide
to help organize this information.
Please note
that if you've already chosen New Options to provide the funeral services please contact us to obtain a version of the guide that can be filled out on your computer and sent directly to us. This helps reduce clerical errors and can help expedite the process.
What do I do if the death has already occurred?
Because death is one of the hardest events we have to face; few make plans for it. We want to let you know that you do have a few hours to discuss services with other family members before you choose a mortuary. Hospitals and Hospice Care nurses often work with families during those first few hours after the death, and they can be a great source of information and help. Even after you've chosen a mortuary and they have removed the body, the family still has the right to change to another mortuary. While you will need to pay the first mortuary's removal fees the families are still in charge of services.
What area do we serve?
We serve Orange, southern and western Los Angeles, western San Bernardino, and western Riverside counties. We can serve such a broad area because of the unique way we function. All funeral arrangements are made at your home or some other location convenient to you. The funeral/memorial services are held at a church you attend or a church in your local area. Burial services are of course conducted at the cemetery where you have purchased a plot of land or niche for an urn.
What is the purpose of a funeral or memorial?
The purpose is to gather family and friends to remember and celebrate the life of the one who has died.
How do I choose?
Choosing a funeral provider can be a daunting task, particularly when no pre arrangements have been made.
One good place to start is with those people you already know and trust. Asking a friend who has been through a death, hospice caregivers, or clergy can be quite helpful.
How do I compare one funeral provider to another?
Federal & State laws require mortuaries, to provide costs over the phone to a family. Should you have any problem getting pricing over the phone; you should consider another mortuary.
What should I expect to happen from start to finish?
The process starts with the removal of the body from the place of death by the funeral provider. The family then meets with a staff member from the mortuary to begin to discuss the type of service they would like. Depending on the type of service(s) requested the details required can vary widely. Click
to see a description of the types of services offered. In the days following the service(s) families would receive copies of the death certificates they requested for insurance or other purposes.
What kind of funerals or memorials are there?
Below is a list of the descriptions of each service type. If you would like to see a detailed list of what items are included in each service type and relevant pricing please click
A traditional service with a viewing on the day of the service.
New Options will be responsible for setting up the casket at the designated place of the funeral service and assists coordinating the ushering, viewing, and services with the clergy. A viewing before the service is not uncommon, where friends and family can have a more private moment to say their goodbyes. After the services New Options provides the funeral coach and flower car when traveling to the cemetery for the burial.
A traditional service with a viewing on the evening before the services.
New Options is responsible for setting up the casket at the church for the viewing the evening before the services. Our staff will assist with the greeting of friends and family until the time of the viewing ends. The next day our staff arrives at the church with the funeral coach and flower car about an hour prior to the time of the service to prepare to greet the attendees for the service. After the services we proceed to the cemetery for burial.
A graveside service without viewing.
New Options with the cemetery staff or family members will place the casket on the grave at the cemetery where all the services are to be held. Our staff will arrive about an hour prior to the services with the funeral coach to assist the family and friends attending the service.
An immediate burial without ceremony.
New Options will deliver the casket to the cemetery. The family will organize their own memorial service.
A direct cremation without ceremony.
New Options will transport the deceased to the crematory and return the cremated remains to they family or deliver them to the cemetery, or assist with a scattering at sea.
A cremation followed by a memorial service.
New Options will transport the deceased to the crematory and return the cremated remains to they family or deliver them to the cemetery, or assist with a scattering at sea. Our staff will assist the family in organizing and staffing the memorial services at their church.
What options do I have when it comes to a funeral provider?
Funeral providers fall into three basic categories:
Mortuary only – these assist with the services and provide caskets and other funeral merchandise. Many of these also provide cremation services.
Mortuary and Cemetery – Most cemeteries also have a mortuary on the property. Its important to note that selecting a cemetery does not mean you have to use their mortuary.
Cremation Only – As the name implies, they only provide cremation services for families.
How do I negotiate the price of funeral services?
Things to watch out for:
Cremation services that advertise $495 or a similar number.
These prices tend not to include the retrieval of the body, something that adds significantly to the price. Another issue often connected with this sort of price is a longer than expected waiting period for the return of the ashes to the family, three weeks or longer is not uncommon. If one does wish the return of the cremated remains within a timely manner, a week or so, there is often an additional fee levied for this service. Finally, urns are not usually included in these cut-rate prices.
Make sure you get a narrow price range for retrieving the body, they will need to know where the body is to give you that number but they should be able to come close to what the final cost will be with that information. One also should ask if there is an extra fee in connection with getting the cremated remains within a week. Ask about the price range for urns sold by the cremation service and if one is required to purchase an urn from the service in connection with the "bargain" fee.
Packages that do not fit your needs.
Packages can vary in how much real savings they provide to families. "Bargain" packages in particular can be troublesome if one chooses a package and then changes a few items, most people do not realize that you are now paying the al carte pricing for everything that was previously discounted under the package. The bottom line is that one ends up paying a substantially higher price for modifying a few elements of the package.
Shop around to find a place that has a package that will suit your needs at a reasonable price. Of course, one does tailor a funeral for each person, but make sure to find out which things can be changed without "breaking" the pricing structure of the package. Some mortuaries may have prices already set so low that packages are merely a convenient method to inform the family of the typical items that make up a funeral service. In this case there is no package pricing to break so changes can made without fear of losing a good price.
Bundling occurs when mortuaries advertise prices that seem substantially lower than surrounding competitors are, but then require that the casket and vault be purchased through them at a considerable markup. If one purchases either a casket or a vault from someone else, a higher pricing scheme is introduced.
Make sure when getting quotes from funeral homes that you find out if the price they are telling you requires that you purchase the casket and vault from them. With so many casket stores offering discount pricing for caskets and vaults it can be an advantage to find a funeral home that does not require you to purchase either item from them.
The average cost of funeral services:
The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) performed a survey of the mortuaries general price lists for 2006. This survey revealed a national average of
for services consisting of:
Non-declinable basic services fee
Removal/transfer of remains to funeral home
Other preparation of the body
Use of facilities/staff for viewing
Use of facilities/staff for funeral ceremony
Service car/van
Basic memorial printed package (e.g., memorial cards, register book, etc.)
Metal casket
Vault (Required by some cemeteries)
Note: This price does not include cemetery, monument or marker costs, or miscellaneous cash-advance charges, such as flowers or obituaries.
As this is a national average, you may find the prices in your region above or below this figure.
Also take note that the prices in this survey are from 2006.

How New Options took the mortuary out of mortuary and why it works?
There are several components that make up the modern mortuary:
A place to meet and make arrangements with the family.
A room for holding viewings.
A chapel for holding funeral or memorial services.
A casket show room for selling caskets, urns and other merchandise to the family.
A room for performing the preparations on the decedent, i.e. embalming or preparing for cremation.
The fundamental idea behind New Options Funeral Service was to separate these elements out and use resources that were already available to the family for free or at a minimal cost. By doing this we can reduce the average price by nearly half.
New Options meets with families in the familiar surroundings of their own home. If for some reason the family wishes to meet elsewhere we can meet them at any other place of their choosing including our home office.
Many families have a connection with a local place of worship who are happy to accommodate families and allow viewings to take place on their premises. We also understand that not all families attend places of worship. New Options has a large network of locations available for viewings.
As noted in point B. it's not unusual for families to have a connection with a place of worship who are happy to serve the families with the use of their premises. If the family is not connected with a place of worship New Options has a large and diverse network of locations for funeral or memorial services.
We've found that having a show room for caskets is not a critical part of having a mortuary. While this may sound strange at first, by simply providing photo books of the caskets we eliminate the need to carry caskets in stock and the floor space to show them. Both of these have an impact on the price you pay. Should a family wish to see the casket of their choosing we have the ability to retrieve the casket in a short time frame for viewing. Another important resource in this area has been the rise of casket stores that allow families to view the caskets and purchase caskets in a show room at very reasonable prices.
A preparation room is one area that is, of course, vital to the running of a funeral home. New Options has built a facility for this purpose without attaching the other elements of a mortuary, allowing us to serve families fully without unnecessarily extending the overhead into other areas of service.
If I don't have a place of worship, can you still provide funeral services?
We understand that not all families attend places of worship. New Options has a large and diverse network of locations to hold funeral or memorial services for the family.
What if I buy my casket from Walmart /CostCo / a casket store or other place, do I get the same prices listed on your site?
Absolutely. We are happy to serve families no matter where they have purchased their caskets and do so at no additional charge.
What choices do I have when it comes to cemeteries?
First most cemeteries do not have restrictions as to who can be buried within them. An example of a restricted cemetery is the Riverside National Cemetery which is veterans and their wife or dependent children only, or religious cemeteries have certain restrictions.
If my family member owns a cemetery plot, am I required to use the services of the funeral provider on the cemetery grounds?
You are not required to use the funeral provider located on the cemetery grounds.
What do you mean by funeral merchandise?
Funeral merchandise consists of caskets, urns, memorial books, folders and the like. To see our pricing on caskets or urns click
. These pages show the most commonly selected items but we can order any casket carried by our vendors, Batesville, [fill in vendors].
What is embalming and how does it relate to having a viewing?
This may come as a surprise to you but embalming is not required by law. Embalming is the use of chemical preservatives for the temporary preservation of the body.
A Viewing provides a more private opportunity for friends and family to say goodbye. It can also be a comfort for families who have last seen their family member in the hospital or convalescent facility, now dressed in their favorite dress or suite and looking at peace.
If you choose a viewing, embalming is usually recommended by the funeral provider.
My family member had nothing planned and did not leave any instructions. Now what do I do?
Take a moment to reflect about the person. Funerals are meant to honor the contribution of the person in our lives and to give those they leave behind an opportunity to begin to come to terms with their loss. Funerals don't have to be expensive to express our appreciation of what a person has meant to us.
to download a guide to help plan the funeral.
What do you mean by "advance planning"?
Planning ahead is always a good idea. In the funeral industry, many mortuaries offer guides to "Advance Planning" or "Preneed Planning". Most of these guides end with you contacting their mortuary.
However, depending upon your needs and wishes this may not be necessary at all. We've designed a form that contains the most pertinent questions that need answering upon a death as well as questions geared towards helping you formulate your wishes that you may not have realized you even had. [For instance, are there particular songs that you would like played at the service.] Click
to download the guide.
Once you've completed the form you simply put it in a safe place, and make a copy for someone you would like to be in charge of your suggestions.
In the 45 years that I have spent serving families, the first question that we ask is "Did he/she leave some instructions or choices about funeral or memorial services. Unfortunately the answer is often no. Now your family needs to think about what you would like. With funeral costs that can run into the thousands, it can produce additional stress during an already stressful time.
Pre-planning does not mean pre-paying. While it is an option to setup a financial instrument in order to pay for the plans you make, it is certainly not required. This means that you can protect your wishes and provide solid guidance without any contractual obligations.

Source: Illinois Tollway press release
The Illinois Tollway on Thursday approved an increase in speed limits on some rural segments of its tollways to 70 mph, according to a press release from the Illinois Tollway.
The increase would take effect on Jan. 1, according to the news release.
"We're committed to enacting this law responsibly while maintaining the high standard of safety that has always been our top priority," said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Kristi Lafleur.
The tollway must satisfy procedural requirements in order to increase speed limits on its system, including conducting an engineering study and receiving approval from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR).
A recommendation will also be sent to the Illinois Department of Transportation for concurrence. Once JCAR approves the rule change, the Secretary of State will publish the rule change and the updated signs reflecting the new speed limit will be posted.
The tollway has completed speed limit studies for all non-urban segments of the tollway system. Based on these studies, the tollway will seek to increase the speed limit on select rural segments of the tollway system, including:
- The Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) west of the I-39 interchange in Winnebago County (15 miles).
- The Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) west of Route 47 in Kane, DeKalb, Ogle and Lee counties (64 miles).
- The Tri-State Tollway (I-94/I-294/I-80) north of Stearns School Road in Lake County (pending speed limit increase on I-94 in Wisconsin) (6 miles).
If implemented, the new 70 mph speed limit will apply to all vehicles on I-90 and on I-88 west of Kane County.
However, the higher speed limit on the northern portion of the Tri-State Tollway, and an 8-mile segment of I-88 in Kane County extending west of Route 47 to the DeKalb County border, will apply only to passenger and commercial vehicles weighing no more than 8,000 pounds, or 4 tons.
The speed limit for larger trucks on those two segments will remain at 55 mph, the limit currently set by the state's vehicle code for trucks in the Chicago metro area, which includes Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties.
By law, the current minimum speed limit on the Tollway system is 45 mph.
As part of the changes to the administrative rules approved by the Board today, the tollway will also seek to increase the minimum speed limit from 45 mph to 55 mph where the speed limit is 65 or 70 mph to help keep traffic flowing evenly.

Posted: Jan 3, 2013 4:45 PM by Beth Beechie - MTN News
CONRAD - An 11-year-old Conrad girl who suffered serious burns in a house fire on Sunday is continuing her recovery in a Salt Lake City hospital.
A spokeswoman at University Hospital in Salt Lake City says that Julia Winney is currently in the burn center and is listed in critical condition.
Despite the severity of her injuries, family members tell us that Julia's recovery is progressing and they are cautiously optimistic that she will be able to return home to Montana soon.
Donations can be mailed to Stockman Bank, P.O. Box 727, Conrad, MT 59425. Donations can also be made at any branch of Stockman Bank under the Julia Winney Benefit Account. Any non-cash donations can be coordinated with Jennifer and Kristopher Moen at 406-750-5463.
Julia's father, Dan, tells us that the family is very grateful for the outpouring of support they have received, and says that "whether we know you or do not know you, the family, Julia included, sends thanks, blessings and love."

Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney's opponent, Barack Hussein Obama — a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.
I hope all Christians give their vote prayerful consideration because voting is a sacred privilege and a serious responsibility.

There continue to be far too many incidences of bullying of young people, as well as discrimination and violence against people of all ages, based on their sexual orientation, and I believe there is value in making clear where I stand.

The George W. Bush Presidential Library denied a request by a Democratic super PAC for documents related to Sen. Rob Portman's work in the George W. Bush administration. The library says it is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act and that all are welcome to see the documents in 2014. The super PAC, American Bridge 21st Century, has been researching GOP candidates as Mitt Romney moves closer to choosing a running mate.
"When you look at the roster of V.P. candidates, each of them is significantly flawed," American Bridge senior adviser Ty Matsdorf said in a statement. "For Portman, it is his calamitous record on fiscal issues while working at the Bush White House. It shouldn't be a shock that he is going to want to keep that under wraps for as long as possible, but unfortunately it's pretty hard to hide a record as terrible as that."

Facebook has created a new "find friends nearby" function that will allow users to see friends and people they don't know who are at events or social gatherings. From some Facebook engineer's comments on the story:
I built Find Friends Nearby with another engineer for a hackathon project. While it was originally called 'Friendshake', we settled on 'Find Friends Nearby' for launch (the URL was a little bit of a homage to the previous iteration).
For me, the ideal use case for this product is the one where when you're out with a group of people whom you've recently met and want to stay in contact with. Facebook search might be effective, or sharing your vanity addresses or business cards, but this tool provides a really easy way to exchange contact information with multiple people with minimal friction.
HBO's The Newsroom premiered last night, and this guy at the Toronto Star said it kind of sucked while the New York Times says CNN could learn something from it.
The study, released by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and America's Natural Gas Alliance (ANGA), claims methane emissions given off during natural gas production are as low as half of what the EPA is estimating. The study arrived just in time for a June 19 congressional hearing in which industry officials are testifying in defense of natural gas production and fracking, a relatively new drilling process that involves pumping thousands of gallons of water underground to break up shale formations in order to release natural gas and oil.
The nonprofit environmental group Physicians, Scientists, and Engineers for Healthy Energy (PSE) has questioned the methodology behind the study. One criticism is that the study only covers 20 out of hundreds of oil and gas operators. This makes the study "statistically invalid," according to Anthony Ingraffea, a professor of engineering at Cornell University and a member of PSE.
Ingraffea also says questions for the study were framed poorly. In one example, he pointed out that the study gave survey-takers, which work within the oil and gas industry, EPA estimates of methane emissions. Given the industry's interest in making sure methane emissions are low, this could have "coached" survey-takers into giving lower estimates, according to Ingraffea.
Ingraffea says he would have preferred a study that randomly samples a larger number of operators from all over the country with more objective questions. That, he says, would have produced much more credible results.
Ingraffea also emphasizes that the data from this study is made up of estimates derived by mathematical equations, not any actual measurements taken from the field.
"No one, with one exception, has actually gone out into the field and made measurements," he says.
The one exception is a study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that was published February in the Journal of Geophysical Research. The NOAA study measured Colorado gas wells in an attempt to get more accurate data than what the EPA and the industry have been providing. The measurements showed methane emissions were at least twice as large as what the EPA was previously estimating, leading NOAA researchers to conclude the EPA is greatly underestimating emissions, a stark contrast to the API/ANGA study.
A local developer has offered to build a new jail adjacent to the Justice Center, a cost of $65 million, in return for the county leasing it for 30 years at $10 million a year, according to The Enquirer. The developer, Rob Smyjunas, said the offer isn't about making a profit, just making the county better for his and other families.
Mayor Mallory didn't answer The Enquirer's questions about the potential for a Council majority to block the property tax increase in City Manager Milton Dohoney's proposed budget. A Mallory spokesman says he'll work behind the scenes on a budget that will win a Council majority and that he's off to New Orleans for a conference on reclaiming vacant properties.

A video of middle school kids in upstate New York bullying a 68-year-old bus monitor has drawn international media attention. The woman says the kids are all pretty much normal and are OK to deal with one-on-one.
The bullying continues unabated for about 10 minutes in the video, reducing Klein to tears as a giggling student jabs her arm with a book. Recorded by a student Monday with a cell phone camera, the brazen example of bullying went viral and spurred international outrage.
A population of chinstrap penguins in Antarctica has declined by 36 percent due to melting sea ice.
"Actually, in the '90s it was thought that the climate change would favor the chinstrap penguin, because this species prefers sea waters without ice, unlike the Adelie penguin, which prefers the ice pack," study researcher Andres Barbosa told LiveScience. He added that at the time, chinstraps, named for the thin black facial line from cheek to cheek, seemed to increase in numbers, with some new colonies being established. The sea-ice decline in the winter, however, has become so big that it is now impacting krill populations, said Barbosa, of the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid.

Environmental groups have expressed concern that the watershed's water supply could be sold for use in fracking, a fairly new drilling technique in which thousands of gallons of chemical-laden water are shot into the earth in order to fracture shale and free natural oil and gas. Critics of the process say more research is needed on the technique to fully understand fracking's long- and short-term environmental and economic effects. (Read CityBeat's June 6 cover story, "Boom, Bust or Both?" about Ohio's fracking industry, here.)
The decision to postpone the sales will be held until data is received in a water-availability study that's currently underway. Pending analysis of the study's results, MWCD plans to update its water supply policy to help deal with interested clients in the future.
believe strongly that it is in the best interest of the public we serve
and the conservancy district to not entertain any water supply requests
until this study has been completed and the MWCD has had an opportunity
to update its water supply policy for review, public discussion and
consideration of the MWCD Board of Directors,"said John M. Hoopingarner, MWCD executive director/secretary in a press release.
The MWCD will honor its preexisting agreement to provide Gulfport Energy Co. with 11 million gallons of water from Clendening Lake in Harrison County.
The Enquirer today broke out its Freedom of the Press Card, pressing the city to release details of the bids to build the streetcar's five vehicles. Enquirer Editor and Vice President Carolyn Washburn says the newspaper is being a good watchdog by investigating all the redacted parts of documents released by the city, which reportedly include typical streetcar parts, performance data and personal information of employees. A firm called CAF USA, which won the bid for more than $20 million, is trying to block the release of the data, along with two losing bidders who claim the information is trade secret.

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel has returned more than $100,000 in campaign contributions in response to an FBI investigation into 21 donors who had no record of giving to federal campaigns and many appearing to have low incomes. Mandel, a Republican, is running against incombent Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown. Mandel's campaign treasurer Kathryn Kessler sent a letter to donors explaining that any contributions appearing to be under investigation would be refunded.
From The Toledo Blade:
Although the campaign provided a copy of the letter to The Blade, it would not explain the timing of the decision or how long it has been aware of the federal probe.
The Blade revealed the unusual pattern of contributions in August.
The company's owner, Benjamin Suarez, and 16 of his employees (plus some of their spouses) gave about $200,000 to Mr. Mandel and U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci (R., Wadsworth) last year. Each of those donors gave $5,000, the maximum allowable amount, to one or both candidates.
The Ohio Senate yesterday passed new fracking regulations, and the final version caused some environmental organizations to change their stance on the bill. The Ohio Environmental Council and the Sierra Club had both been neutral on the legislation until changes were made forcing anyone suing over chemical trade secrets to show current or potential harm, according to The Enquirer. The regulations are part of Kasich's new energy bill and easily passed both the Senate and House and is expected to be signed by Kasich soon.

The private group hoping to purchase Music Hall for $1 is now asking for $10 million in city contributions to its effort to update the historic building, double the initial $5 million it asked for. The Music Hall Revitalization Co. says failing to strike a deal before June 1 will jeopardize the proposed $165 million renovation. Among the updates the city is being asked to fund are $75,000 buffers to block noise from the streetcar and a $150,000 escrow account to pay for any future disruptions due to the streetcar.
City Council yesterday spent some time considering ways to fix the city's retirement fund deficit. Cincinnati's retirement board wants the city to contribute $67 million to the pension system this year, though Council has reportedly contributed only about half of that.

Lady Gaga yesterday cancelled a cold-out Indonesia performance in response to conservative protests over her clothing and dance moves.
National police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar, responding to the pressure, said Tuesday that the permit for her June 3 "Born This Way Ball" concert had been denied.
Indonesia, a nation of 240 million people, has more Muslims than any other. Although it is secular and has a long history of religious tolerance, a small extremist fringe has become more vocal in recent years.
Hard-liners have loudly criticized Lady Gaga, saying the suggestive nature of her show threatened to undermine the country's moral fiber. Some threatened to use physical force to prevent her from stepping off the plane.
Lawmakers and religious leaders, too, have spoken out against her.

Hello Randy, so sorry that it has taken me a few days to send my thanks for visiting my family memorials & leaving such lovely tributes for them. My appreciation is heartfelt & the tokens really brighten up their page. My Mom, especially loved flowers & always had a garden & also a "green thumb", which I did not inherit, to my disappointment. But my 2 sons can grow anything, just as she did. It just skipped me & my daughter.
Thanks again & may you have a great week.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Mike Eastman on how the new NLRB regulations on union elections impact employers.
Apr 24, 2012
Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
What is the ambush election controversy at the National Labor Relations Board about.
This is a regulation that the National Labor Relations Board recently.
Finalized that.
Changes virtually every aspect of how union organizing elections is conducted.
And these are highly technical -- rules.
But the bottom line is we think it will take the average time for election from about 3839 days where it's been for decades.
Down to about half of that 181920 days what's wrong -- that.
But the big issue there is employers need enough time to communicate their.
Point of view their free speech.
To their employees we don't think 1819 days is enough we're comfortable with a 383940.
But cutting it in half.
Destroys free speech right of employers and it also significantly -- their due process rights.
So you believe that the -- Ford is trying to.
Union elections down.
Employers -- is that basically.
Right and they're doing it through this rapid.
Forced timetable it's going to be very difficult for employers to respond.
In that time period not to mention employees in you know the union round it's going to be more difficult for them -- organized in only two or three weeks.
Well as you know that the unions.
You're overstating the case and that and that in effect this -- These delays are unnecessary.
-- the letter from the AF LC reading legislative alert.
That the current process just draws out.
Distrust the process out that in fact that can be -- and should be quicker.
Right there are a very small minority of elections that take way too long in this no denying that.
A responsible way to approach this rule making would have been to look at those small minority of cases figure out what the problem is an address that problem.
Not change the entire system for the vast majority of cases that -- working quickly and efficiently.
So you know trying to stop workers.
And then their right to organize -- they want to hear your issues just with the process.
The issue here is a fair process exactly it should be a process by which each side can communicate their views.
He's site can be heard in the employee can decide in private yes -- -- Now the senate is scheduled today to take up a resolution.
That would.
Forced the NLRB.
Eliminate -- this decision it would it would work with.
-- report right effectively invalidate in the validation that the legal term yes so the senate resolution will be brought -- today likely to be voted on tomorrow.
If it passes it would then go to the house and and then to the president.
And it sends an important message to the -- -- that they've gone too far.
That they needed to pull back a little and re examine this trend that -- on this is not the only controversial actions taken by this labor board.
There's many many others and that really need.
To stop and take a look.
Where the prospects of the senate approving this -- it costs us 44.
Sponsors but that's not 51 you need 51 votes to get this through right -- majority to get this through which is.
He's here hurdle then the -- need to overcome a filibuster this is only a simple majority.
I think it will be a difficult vote.
But we we have a chance and I think it's it's a good chance and work in an -- So.
Where could you get the other votes if you have all 47 Republicans are there are some.
Moderate Democrats that -- that you think might be.
Might join the Republicans on this and get -- to 51 -- we're certainly hopeful that they will.
You know there's there's a number of senators are more moderate more thoughtful about some of these issues.
And we think there's a good chance that that several of them jointly with the Republicans -- vote for this common sense resolution.
There's a version of this resolution house.
What's happening over there there is the Senate's going first on this particular matter should pass the senate that night I don't think house passage would be in question.
I think -- would policy -- quickly.
But even if the senate -- -- house approves it.
As the senate as his and is the president who think -- going to sign something like this.
Well would be an interest in question -- president has tried to distance himself from the National Labor Relations Board.
Referring to it as an independent agency that he doesn't have control of this would put the matter squarely before.
In an election year when current when he is counting.
The unions to help -- and his reelection campaign so what's the likelihood.
But the president actually it's it's.
Well certainly I'd -- I would not bet the farm on it but.
-- look this is an important issue and ratcheting up to that level would certainly send the signal.
That that this is an important issue that perhaps -- the administration should think twice about.

These boots came really fast and I was very pleased with the product! They do run about a half size bigger so I recommend going down a half size. But, I do plan on wearing thicker socks with them, so having a half size bigger fits perfectly! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Pros:Delivered quickly Perfect height |

Getting more people to share information with police is the goal of a new city working group assembled in the wake of eight homicides before the first full week of the new year.
But in most cities, the focus is elsewhere, according to John Roman, a senior fellow with the Washington, D.C.-based Urban Institute.
"Law enforcement everywhere is very frustrated with the 'stop snitching' culture. It's a big barrier to effective police investigations," Roman said. "But, you know, it's sort of real and persistent, and the consensus has been really to try other strategies to reduce violence rather than focus on that."
In Tulsa, a variety of viewpoints on police intelligence-gathering were presented during the first meeting of the Public Safety Intelligence Working Group, with Councilor G.T. Bynum serving as chair for the gathering. Three more meetings are scheduled, including a Jan. 22 meeting scheduled to take place after deadline.
Discussion kicked off, however, with talk about ways to improve anonymous reporting.
Tulsa relies on the Crime Prevention Network, formerly known as the Tulsa Crime Commission, to operate the tip line Crime Stoppers.
Carol Bush, the network's executive director, said the initial meeting of the group -- which lasted about an hour and forty minutes -- provided plenty of benefit for many in attendance.
"I think, selfishly, from an education standpoint, it was great. Now we're on the same page," Bush said in an interview.
At the meeting, she described how calls to Crime Stoppers get routed to Nacogdoches, Tex. before the information is passed on to law enforcement. Bush emphasized how every step of the process ensures anonymity for those calling, including delivery of any reward money.
Others spoke about ideas to raise awareness about the main Crime Stoppers number, 918-596-COPS, and also how to communicate more widely that tipsters can text information via their cell phones or contribute information online.
Roman, however, questioned whether marketing such a message can really lead to more participation.
"You can make the number easier to remember and can do advertising to make sure people get the word. At the end of the day, what motivates people to give a tip is they trust law enforcement to use that tip wisely, and they trust that they won't get pulled into something, and you have to build that trust. You can't just put a telephone number on the billboard," he said.
Other issues were raised in the Tulsa meeting as well -- including the safety of those who share information.
"There's no money in the State of Oklahoma budgets for protection of witnesses. If I want to protect a witness, I have to access the U.S. attorney's office," said Steve Kunzweiler, a prosecutor in the Tulsa County District Attorney's office.
Police representatives at the meeting said that retaliation against witnesses does occur in Tulsa.
"There is a reason why they're fearful?" asked Councilor Karen Gilbert.
"Absolutely," replied Tulsa Police Capt. Van Ellis.
Another issue raised at the meeting was the less-than-advanced state of the records management computer system used by police.
With the current system, "it takes a lot of work and a lot of manipulation to look at our own information that we have," Ellis told the group.
He said getting a new system is "one of things in our long-range goals that we're looking at," but that the cost would likely be from $2 to $4 million.
The committee also discussed inefficiencies in communication between law enforcement agencies because of the use of widely varying records systems.
When it comes to getting people to communicate tips, Ellis emphasized the desire for quality information, not just quantity.
"When you request information on very specific things, you get very specific information, and that's not always the best way to analyze how we need to move forward," Ellis said.
As for Crime Stoppers, Bush told the group that direct mailing of postcards to specific neighborhoods has been shown to be an effective technique. Her agency has some funding to develop a smart phone app, but so far has not done so, she said.
She said she visits apartment complexes and neighborhoods frequently, but at a recent visit to the St. Thomas Square apartment complex in the area of East 61st Street and South Peoria Avenue only 13 people showed up at the meeting, with several in attendance not actual residents of the complex.
"Some of those residents did not show up to the meeting because they saw three police cars there. They do not want to be seen hanging out with police, because now they're a snitch," Bush said.
She said the agency would like to establish a local center for accepting calls, but doesn't have the budget to do so.
Bush noted that the Crime Stoppers program in Kansas City is considered especially effective, but it has a much bigger budget than the local Crime Stoppers. Bynum said he is interested in meeting with representatives from Kansas City to discuss how the program works in that community.
Roman, with the Urban Institute, said that crime is often a very local issue, with many blocks in a city essentially crime-free while other areas are blighted with crime.
He said boosting funding to such a broad crime prevention program would be "taking attention away from the most at-risk people and places."
Others at the Tulsa meeting discussed the importance of working with the community.
"We focused a lot of attention on marketing, but the largest strategic issue is building trust between law enforcement and the community they serve," said Hannibal Johnson, a member of an organization that works with police and the community.
He talked about the Mayor's Police and Community Coalition Youth Forum done once a year. The meeting allows high school students to meet in small groups with Tulsa police officers. No questions are off limits during the sessions, he said.
"That's the way you build trust over the long haul," Johnson said.

The Department of Education played an unusually small role in the Mayor Michael Bloomberg's budget announcement on Thursday, but the real situation may be more complex than what the mayor let on. NY1's Education reporter Lindsey Christ filed the following report.
Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott is famous for never looking stressed, but this year's city budget does appear much better for the city's most expensive department.
"Don't I look less stressed already? I mean, I am less stressed already," said Walcott.
Under Mayor Michael Bloomberg's new budget, the Department of Education has no proposed teacher layoffs and expected increases in aid from both the city and the state.
"The city will spend less in virtually every major area of controllable spending except for education," said Bloomberg during his Thursday budget address.
The mayor called education the city's key long-term investment.
"We just have to reach into our pockets and make sure our kids have the future we want for them," said Bloomberg.
But the education budget may be more complicated than the mayor made it sound.
Governor Andrew Cuomo is indeed promising city schools an additional $238 million, but he says that money is contingent on the city and teachers' union implementing a new teacher evaluation system by the end of the year.
NY1 asked the mayor why the budget was assuming those funds were a sure thing.
"Ah, not — you know, the current legislation, my recollection is the governor passed a two-year budget and it's not going to be taken away no matter what," said Bloomberg.
His aides later acknowledged it could be taken away halfway into the next fiscal year, which would be a big hit to city schools.
There is also the issue of the 1,700-plus teachers who the mayor plans to remove from 33 struggling schools. But that does not save money. Those who do not find jobs at other schools would add tens of millions of dollars to the cost of the current substitute teacher pool, and the city would have to pay for teachers to replace them.
So while the education budget seems much less complicated this year, there are actually several major factors still to be worked out.
One notable phrase not spoken by the mayor this year was "Last In, First Out." With no teacher layoffs on the table, the mayor seems to have abandoned his campaign to change the state law requiring the newest teachers be laid off first.
For the past two years, fighting to change that policy had been a big part of Bloomberg's budget announcements, but he was never able to get Albany on board.
