Hope to rejoin family dies with deportee
A woman who fought to be reunited with her husband who was banished to Mexico after receiving bad legal advice is mourning his death in a roadside shooting.
She learned of his death Sept. 11, hours after he was gunned down in an apparent argument among a group of people in Chupio, a rural region in the Mexican state of Michoacan where he was raised.
With all due respect, people don't get deported for "bad legal advice." They get deported because they came here illegaly.
The prisons are full of people who will tell you that they are incarcerated because "they had a bad lawyer." (It had nothing to do with the fact that they actually committed the crime that they were convicted off, it's all the lawyers fault)

Celebrate high health care costs
FACT: Sixty percent of [LA] county's uninsured patients are not U.S. citizens.
FACT: Last year, Los Angeles County spent $340 million to treat the uninsured; that's roughly $1,000 for every taxpayer.
FACT: The Harris County Hospital
[Texas] District alone doled out $330 million in free medical care to illegal immigrants over the last three years.
FACT: In Fiscal Year 2001, the total cost for emergency medical care for illegal immigrants in California was more than $648 million. At the same time, the California Association of Public Hospitals notes that California’s public hospitals face a $600 million a year budget deficit.

So when we have a constant drumbeat of "health care costs too much," why do we have an Oregon hospital, Providence Newberg, encouraging the people who are bankrupting our health care providers to visit them?
Why should the illegal aliens feel welcome when the rest of us are paying for their care in our higher premiums, higher doctor bills, and more waiting time?
And that doesn't even address the fact that this is America dammit. Let's celebrate the 4th of July because that's our independance. We are not Mexico. Our former president's are not facing arrest for massacres.
Do we celebrate Independence Day for Latvia? How about Kenya? What makes Mexico special?
I'll tell you. Certain people and groups feel that they are promoting "diversity" by creating a more illegal alien-friendly environment.
When people ask me what we should do to stop the lawbreakers who violate America's soverienty I always start with the fact that we must make our country and state less hospitable, less friendly, and less encouraging to the illegals. What we have here is the exact opposite.
Ready for a true conservative?
Want to see what the state of Oregon can do under Republican leadership? Want to elect a Republican who wasn't a Democrat? (Mannix) Want to elect a Republican who doesn't act like a Democrat? (Saxton)
Then it's time for mainstream conservative Jason Atkinson. And I don't mean "mainstream" in the sense that the Fishwrapper uses to describe a "Republican" who thinks that abortion is a choice, taxes are good for the economy, and illegal aliens deserve in-state tuition.
I mean mainstream as in Atkinson believes in what you and I believe in. A fiscally responsible government, pulic safety, and a bussiness friendly environment.
Gullyborg has blogrolled an Atkinson for Governor Network of which I am a proud member. See his site if you would like to participate and support the candidate who can move our state in the right direction.

Happy, homeless, subsidized and stoned
a day in the life Homeless in Eugene
On July 15, Emerald Photo Editor Tim Bobosky spent the day with Greg Sakradse, a 16-year-old, homeless member of the Eugene community.
While attending the Connecticut Friends School, Greg went to anti-war rallies as field trips.
Around this same time, Greg started smoking marijuana.
Coincidence?
When giving reasons for dropping out of high school, Greg said that none of his friends attended high school.
In Ashland, Greg said he partied, stayed up all night and was drunk a lot. His parents would yell at him, prompting Greg to leave for days on end. Both of Greg’s parents are ER doctors.
Greg met his girlfriend Tehlor, 18, while living in Ashland. Tehlor later attended the University to study journalism but dropped out after losing her financial aid.
Why she "lost" her aid must be a superfluos detail. Maybe she lost it in the couch cushions?
Greg’s goal, after getting a place to live, is to start a production company and host electronic music events and parties.
“There is an okay rave scene, but it needs better drum and bass. Too much house and trance.”
The first step, he said, is to have an outdoor party September of this year, “with college students fresh back with their parents’ cash.”
Even his dream job depends on people depending on other people. How ironic.
During the summer, Greg and Tehlor eventually applied for food stamps; they each get $150 for food per month.
At the rest stop just north of Eugene on I-5, Greg said, “Much like a politician, I lie for money.” He then revealed his spanging sign that said: “Stranded! Out of gas and cash, Trying to get back to Ashland any thing helps.”
“We are living in a car, and we are happier than we have ever been,” Greg said. “We can take our money-making abilities anywhere we go, since it’s just holding up a sign.”
The homeless, drug using, liar is happier than ever. Right there is the problem. When our society allows people to choose homelessness as a viable alternative to a responsible and productive life we get this.
This is a 16 year old kid. Why should the taxpayers being helping him out when he chooses not to live at home because his parents won't let him get drunk and high? Why do his fellow citizens give him money that only helps to abdicate him of any responsibility?
But there is a good lesson here: Panhandlers are liars! Happy liars. Don't give them money because it will only make it worse.

Religion of Peace update
The Great Lie of Islam
Innocent Iraqis who were just looking for work were tricked into coming close to a car by a suicide bomber, and their reward from Islam was that they were murdered. In that car was a fellow Muslim. So not only has Islam lied about only killing in self defense, it has also lied about never killing another Muslim. The lies just keep piling up and Muslims just keep denying it all.
Great column. I for one, am tired of hearing that Islam is peaceful while at the same time bombs are killing civilians. I am also tired of hearing that these terrorists are not practicing "true Islam." What percentage of Muslims have to believe in/participate in these tactics to make it "true Islam?"

But nothing for la clinica COUNTY JAIL
For those of you who are unfortunate enough to live in Multnomah County and you are wondering why the same meth addict is able to steal your car every night of the week without spending any time in jail, don't accept the "we don't have enough money" excuse.
The adopted budget makes the following General Fund-paid restorations to the Health Department’s budget and services for FY 2005.
$500,000 to fully restore health care services at La Clinica de la Buena Salud for FY 2005.

But I'm sure that the other county clinics are serving Americans, our neighbors and friends, who really need some help.

But the problem is ebay...
The fact that a few cold pills were sold on ebay was front page, above-the-fold news to the Fishwrapper. That's right, they are giving us all the facts on where Oregon's drug problem comes from.
Interestingly enough though, our drug enforcement administration says something different:
Hispanic traffickers are the most common sources of cocaine in Oregon...
Mexican black tar and brown heroin are the primary types of heroin distributed throughout Oregon, controlled by Hispanic poly-drug trafficking organizations. Heroin continues to be shipped from Mexico by a variety of methods...
Many of the Hispanic traffickers belong to extended Mexican families...
Mexican methamphetamine, which is either manufactured locally or obtained from sources in Mexico...
Mexican methamphetamine continues to flood the market...
Mexican Ketamine is also smuggled into the state...
Mexican grown marijuana is transported using existing heroin and methamphetamine distribution routes and methods...
Funny, the DEA doesn't seem to worried about ebay. The common theme seems to be that drugs come from Mexico.

Report: criminals under-represented on bench
A new diversity report reveals that while many defendants are "criminals," the judges presiding over their trials are "law-abiding" citizens.
"It just goes to show that historical inequalities haven't changed much in the last few decades," says a new taxpayer funded task force. The task force, created by the Supervisor of diversity and equality for minorities, has been studying the alarming rate of convictions of people accused of crimes.
"Criminals are disproportionaly locked up when you compare their incarceration rate to that of the general public," said Juan Garcia, a senior member of the task force and recently paroled felon. "Juries are looking at the crimes rather than the troubled childhood of the defendant."
The task force has recommended that newly appointed judges also be current or former inmates in our criminal justice system. "The constitution clearly says that defendants should be given a trial by their peers, that means a drug dealing rapist should have a like-minded person presiding over their trial."
"Dude, you got a hit?" asked one judge recently appointed after the task force report came out. "It's like, I see my old homies on trial, and like, I just, like, tell that prosecutor to shut up, you know what I'm saying?"
The state of Oregon knows what he's saying, they have since created an Oregon Criminal Lawyers Association to promote criminal candidates for judicial appointements. Miguel Sachez of the association says "criminals really are discriminated against as a group when it comes to judicial positions, if we are to be a truly diverse and tolerant society we just can't let this go on."
*The above was a parody of this story*
Seeking equality for all
Joseph Ochoa and Marco Hernandez are two of the newer faces of justice in Oregon.
They represent the progress that minorities have made in the 11 years since a task force issued a landmark report on racial and ethnic problems in Oregon's judicial system.
The Oregon Supreme Court Task Force on Racial/Ethnic Issues in the Judicial System reported in May 1994 that minorities fared very poorly in the state court system.
Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans continue to be locked up in greater numbers than their shares of Oregon's population.
Rather than ask the question: Are blacks, hispanics and native Americans commiting crimes in greater number than their shares of Oregon's population the media and government assume that racism must be the only factor involved.
So now we have an affirmative action plan for judges. If I was judge Ochoa or judge Hernandez I would be embarrassed to think that I got where I was just because of the color of my skin rather than the content of my character and abilities as a lawyer.
And for all you idiots who are going to accuse me of comparing minorites to criminals in my parody, I will use the compelling argument that Ellen Goodmen used today to refute a comment by the CWA: "Say what?"

Living next to a whorehouse
Tijuana Officials Aim To Improve Prostitutes' Health
TIJUANA, Mexico -- Government officials in Tijuana admit they can't clean out the hookers, so they're trying to clean them up.
Brothel owners will be required to change the sheets and cover furniture in plastic or rubber.
Just like I would not allow children who come from a household that has no boundaries to have unfettered access to my house and to mingle with my children, America shouldn't let Mexico send it's citizens (and their values) to our country unregulated.

Thursday night rant
In what is becoming a loose tradition, it's time for my Thursday night jumble of thoughts.
Let's start with the article Police raid marijuana fields near Vale.
"Authorities arrested five men, with more arrests expected, Bentz said. They were turned over to immigration and customs officials, police said."
Hmmm, what kind of people get turned over to immigration and customs? GASP! Illegal aliens!
"...the estimated value of the seized marijuana is about $6 million."
Vicente Fox is going to miss that money...
The article right under that one was, ironically, GOP chairman woos Latino leaders.
"Mehlman said Latinos are supporting the Republican Party in growing numbers because they share the party's values. He said the Bush administration is pressing forward with policies to increase Latino ownership of homes and small businesses as well as education opportunities for everyone."
Thanks goodness at least the education opportunities are "for everyone." Apparently we have to work on home ownership by race though.
What happened to Republicans being the colorblind party? Why can't we just appeal to conservatives? Why do we need to appeal to Hispanic conservatives, black conservatives, white conservatives, etc? If we all share the same values then the color of our skin is inconsequential.
TRUE STORY
I came home from work yesterday to find a guy shampooing my carpet. Apparently in an effort to convince people they need $800 vacuums the folks at Kirby decided to do a "free cleaning" promotion.
Anyways, I told the guy he was free to clean as much as he wanted but I wasn't buying his vacuum. He called in "the closer" who hit the same brick wall. (I DON'T HAVE $800 for a vacuum)
He noticed my "For a Goldshmidt free Oregon, VOTE REPUBLICAN" sticker that I have on my wall and he asked if I was a Republican. Then he asked "what are you." (in a reference to my race)
When I replied that I was American he said "but what are you, you know, like I'm black." I told him that I was an American and so is he. He then insisted that he was "African" and "from Africa." I asked if he was born in Africa and he said no and I told him that I simply see both of us as Americans.
Then he told me that his partner, the original salesman, was Russian. I asked that guy if he was a Russian citizen and he said no. I asked if he was an American citizen and he said yes so I told him that makes him an American, not a Russian.
After the continued discussion the guy who self-identifed as "African" said that I was a "thoughful" guy and my "outlook" may in fact be a good one. He followed up with it was "suprising coming from a Republican."
My point? The Republican Party needs to simply stop talking about race other than to say that we are all Americans. (except the illegal aliens)
I think that if we made our point that we are in fact a melting pot and should be identified as simply the wonderful brew we all make together, the American people would respond favorably to that. We could at least attempt to set the agenda in that direction.
Currently the Republican strategy on "race" seems to be the same one that the Democrats have with the notable exception that we don't constantly accuse our political opponents of wanting to "bring back slavery" and "kill black people."
Let's not emulate the liberals "multi-cultural" agenda and instead celebrate American culture.
Next up: A couple wrote a letter to the editor of the SpringfieldNews to cancell their subscription because the paper started carrying a column by Lars Larson. Lars' column is run on Friday's and you might consider contacting this paper and telling them that you appreciate them publishing a column by a true conservative.
Or, if you are a girl trapped inside a man's body you could whine about the "lack of sensitivity to the real sensibilities of Springfield citizens" like the letter writer does... In his defense though, maybe his ovaries were hurting.
OK, I changed my mind, let's follow the liberals idea of multi-culturalism and respecting other countries beliefs. We can start with this one...
If any of you haven't read Dinesh D' Souza's book Letters to a Young Conservative, I would highly suggest it. He makes the suggestion that conservatives should make outrageous statements to put the debate on a more level platform with liberal hysteria. One of my personal favorites it to tell people that "I'm not sure who made the mistake of letting women vote..." or "The one thing I do agree with the terrorists on is women's rights."
You can always tell who the femminists are because they think that your serious and get flustered in the way that only a hysterical woman can. Hahahahahahahaha.
OK, I can't seem to find many websites that don't mention the now infamous "Bush bathroom note." If I was in charge I would have simply stood up and pee'd on the floor of the UN... but that's just me.
Well, time to end this rant. Tommorow is a big day of fulfilling the Republican agenda of making the rich be richer, (at the expense of the poor) bringing back slavery, (at least for the blacks that we don't kill with natural disasters) helping Halliburton destroy the planet, be cruel to animals, bash gays, control the media, (tin foil hat is too tight...) and kill people for oil. Yep, big day...

A day for degenerates to celebrate
Judge: Pledge unconstitutional
A federal judge in Sacramento, Calif., ruled the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools is unconstitutional.
The pledge's reference to one nation "under God" violates school children's right to be "free from a coercive requirement to affirm God," said U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton.
It's hard to find groups or individuals who will publicly celebrate this decision other than American's United for Seperation of Church and State. The ACLU doesn't even have a celebratory news item on their site yet.
I think that demonstrates how out of the mainstream and unpopular this decision is. It also shows us how important these Supreme Court nominees are.

Campaign donations top $1 million in 2006 governor's race
Foreshadowing a spendy 2006 Oregon governor's race, the contenders in both major parties already have raised more than $1 million, with Republican challenger Ron Saxton banking the most campaign money of anyone at this early stage.
It's time to put our money where our mouth is. Let's face it, in politics, money talks. While I am impressed with Jason Atkinson's dedication to the grassroots, it will still take financial backing to get him elected.
Do we want a RINO like Saxton to represent us in the general election just because he raised the most money? I don't.
Atkinson's website (just days away) will have a feature to contribute money online but until then you can send checks to:

Foreshadowing a spendy 2006 Oregon governor's race, the contenders in both major parties already have raised more than $1 million, with Republican challenger Ron Saxton banking the most campaign money of anyone at this early stage.
It's time to put our money where our mouth is. Let's face it, in politics, money talks. While I am impressed with Jason Atkinson's dedication to the grassroots, it will still take financial backing to get him elected.
Do we want a RINO like Saxton to represent us in the general election just because he raised the most money? I don't.
Atkinson's website (just days away) will have a feature to contribute money online but until then you can send checks to:
Atkinson for Governor

They just come here to work hard...
It's time for another round of, say it like Wheel of Fortune, "How many illegal aliens are in our Jails?" clap clap clap clap! That's right folks. I'm Alejandro Trebek and I'm your host for tonights show. Our contestants are encourage by the Bush administration and the state of Oregon to violate our immigration laws and labor laws but they have all decided to go for the bonus points.
I'll buy a vowel Alejandro: U
I'd like to solve the puzzle: Drug dealing, raping, child neglecting, drunk driving, illegal aliens are ruining our state!
YYYEEEESSSSS. We have a winner!
Again, these are just the illegals who INS bothered to put a "hold" on while they are in custody. This is not all the illegal alien criminals in the Marion County Jail.
ALMONTE-VASQUEZ, ISIDRO
A drug dealing child neglecter. Tell him what he's won Vanna: a brand new Oregon drivers license!!! Yeeeahhhh. clap clap clap
ALMONTE-VASQUEZ, JESUS
Selling drugs by a school! What's he going home with Vanna? Free lunches for his kids even during summer!!! clap clap clap
BRAVO, BLAS RAMOS
Wow, this contestant solved so many puzzles I'm not sure I even know what all the acronyms are. Let's see, hit and run, kidnapping, assault, he strangled someone, menacing, harrassment, and much much more!
CAMARENA-DELGADO, DAVID
Sold drugs to a minor and then sexually abused him/her! Custodial interference so it might even be a family member. Oh, and a "failure to appear" which means the genuises who run our court system let this piece of shit out pending his trial. What's he won Vanna? The ability to flee to Mexico rather than face charges! clap clap clap
CIFUENTES-RODAS, ERNESTO
This guy has a serious drinking and driving problem. I'm not sure if the assualt charges stem from the same incident but tell him what he's won: A poster size Teddy Kennedy "I didn't do it" plaque! clap clap clap
CONTRERAS-LOPEZ, SAULO
The Fishwrapper is worried about meth but only when white guys sell it. That means that Saulo here has won: A free pass from the media! clap clap clap
ESTRADA-REYES, FROYLAN
He burglized then assaulted a cop. What's he won Vanna? If there is any justice it was 10,000 volts from a tazer! clap clap clap
FIGUEROA-ALVARADO, JUAN CARLOS
Carlos is a "jack of all trades." Assault, DUII, harrassment, theft, it's all been done.
GOMEZ-GARCIA, EDUARDO
This is a very special contestanst as the INS actually arrested him. Nice to know they are doing something. Stole a car, had some drugs. He wins the "I got the INS off their butts award."
HERNANDEZ-PACHECO, EFRAIN
Who knows what this means: CON SX MIN (PROB VIOL)???
I think it has to do with having sex with a minor but I'm not positive. Ready for my "hateful" stereotype of the night? Mexicans like the younger girls, statuatory rape is very common for them.
HERRERA-SOTO, DAMIAN
A sodomizer. How nice. What's he win Vanna? A cell with Bubba! clap clap clap
LEZAMA-FLORES, MARIO IVAN
Violated his restraing order! He wins an opportunity to sit on a portland school board!
MARTINEZ, MEREGILDO
This contestant violated his parole. He should win a one-way ticket back to Mexico! clap clap clap
MERINO-APOLINAR, BONAFACIO
5 counts of aggravated murder. Oh, and he didn't register as a sex offender. He wins free health care courtesy of the state of Oregon!
PERIDA-ALBA, FELIPE
Steals cars, robs people. Felipe wins a brand new ODL to drive those stolen cars! clap clap clap
REYES, LUIS B
Drugs and ID theft? That's not a problem is it? What's he won Vanna? A brand new TV bought with your credit! clap clap clap
RICO-RAMIREZ, JOSE LUIS
Burlary, felon in possession of a firearm, theft. Jose has won coverage on the Oregon Helath Plan! clap clap clap
RODRIGUEZ-BELLO, ARCADIO
DUII, drugs, lied to the cops, what he won Vanna? A matriclua card to make it easier to lie about his true identity! clap clap clap
RODRIGUEZ-MENDIOLA, BENJAMIN
Hit and run, assault, tresspassing. What does he win Vanna? A new weapon that he can use "unathorized" just like he has been charge for! clap clap clap
VASQUEZ-HERNANDEZ, JUAN
How many times did Juan fail to appear? Once, twice, three times? Nope, four times this guy skipped court. He wins a free trip to Mexico to avoid prosecution! clap clap clap
That ends todays Wheel of Illegal aliens show. All contestants flew "coyote" airlines when crossing our border.
Note: I treat this as a laughing matter but seriously, these people rape our kids, sell drugs to our kids, kill our kids while driving drunk, and much much more. What's it going to take to stop this?
Also, I no longer use the blogger spell check as it has eaten several of my posts. My wife will probably correct my spelling tommorow.

Online matricula consular cards: $69.95
Hat tip: Rick of OFIR for the info!
MexicanConsulateID.com
This site is dedicated to helping the 8 million Hispanics now in America living in fear of deportation.
This is what we need from you to get the process started.
#1 We need a set of passport photos
#2 we need your ht..wt...dob..eye color...hair color.
#3 Also return address to send you your Matricula Consular
Processing Cost $69.95.
Website mission statement:
Our mission is very simple. We are creating a grass roots organization to fight for the rights of Hispanic immigrants in the United States. We will not tolerate families divided by borders and outdated and ethnocentric laws anymore. By processing the Matricula Consulate ID we will be allowing the Hispanics living in the United States access to the services they are due for the work they have done to support all of America.
The state of Oregon allows people to use ID that you can buy off the internet as official idenfication for getting a drivers license.
But thank goodness we don't live in an age of terrorism or ID theft concerns...
How come no one describes Mexico's immigration laws (they don't allow immigrants from their southern neighbors) as "ethnocentric?" And what "services" are these illegal aliens due for their illegal work? They get the basics: police, water, fire, etc. Oh, they must be talking about the Oregon Health Plan, food, housing, etc.

No wonder they hate the free market
Radio station can't sell any ad for Air America
A California radio station is pleading for advertisers to sponsor the liberal programming of the Air America shows it broadcasts, while noting the conservative Rush Limbaugh show is virtually sold out on its sister station.
"For liberal programming to continue ... you need to support it," said an ad by KOMY station owner Michael Zwerling, according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
In the spirit of helping I think that we should make suggestions for products and services that would cater to the demographic that listens (all three of those people) to Air America.
Things they could advertise for:
#1 A new bong
#2 "Art" supplies, such as rusty metal that they can "sculpt" into junk that cities will pay to put on the sidewalk
#3 A solar powered car
#4 Eye wash, for those times when the riot police decide that tear gas is the only way to respond to your protests
#5 A box of "missing" ballots to be found at later elections
#6 "I'm a victim" T-shirts
#7 One of those fancy "protest stands" to be set up downtown
#8 A book that tells all the uses of the phrase "military/industrial complex"
#9 A burqua, for when they allow the terrorists to win
#10 Someone else's money to spend on what they think is best

I needed that laugh
The funniest thing I have read in a long time:
It used to be a crime to export some Western states potatoes to Mexico. Officials south of the border said they feared pests would come across in the shipments.
Mexico is worried about us exporting pests across the border? Maybe they should look in the mirror!
I say we send them our potatoes, force them to educate the small spuds in their public schools, learn to speak potatoe language, respect the potatoe culture, and act as if enforcing the law is "anti-potatoe."

Impeachment Oregon Style
Two of Oregon's most prominent citizens, Jim Weaver and Frank Stahl, drew parallels between Richard Nixon and George Bush when they discussed impeachment at a public program in Eugene in June 2005.
The program was sponsored by the Pacifica Forum of the University of Oregon. It followed the release of the Downing Street Memo of British intelligence, which described an agreement between Bush and England's Prime Minister Tony Blair to lie about existing information to justify their intent to invade Iraq.
Prof. Stahl said he shares Weaver's views on impeachment because "imperial ambitions of the Bush Administration must be stopped." Also of concern to him was how the University of Oregon's scientific research is being dominated by military grants from the Pentagon.
"My research has led me to accept the view that what we face today is national collusion of a Military-Industrial-University Complex. Sadly, I now recognize my university is acting as a member of that Complex.
I'm not sure but when "two of Oregon's most prominent citizens" sound like they are contributors at MoveOn.org I don't think that anyone is going to take them seriously.
It's also interesting that they recognize that "violation of the public trust [is] impeachable." Isn't that what they wanted to impeach Clinton for?
Other than bumper stickers claiming "Bush lied, kids died," there is no consensus among reasonable people that Bush "lied" about Iraq. However, it is indisputable that Clinton perjured himself and lied to the American public. Was our U of O professor calling for Clinton's impeachment?
Of course, this is all coming from Swans.com where they have this on their front page:
Katrina, a natural disaster caused by American negligence; Iraq, a human disaster caused by American connivance; both were predictable, preventable, avoidable, but we as a society chose otherwise in the name of indifference, vengeance, fear, and greed.
Don't you hate it when hurricanes are "caused by American negligence?" Especially when they are "preventable."

If you build it... they will... ride the bus?
Oregon's own field of dreams. ODOT has a scoring matrix (this is different than the matrix the jails use to release drug addicts back into your neighborhood) to determine whether a project should move forward or not.
Some select items:
Access to Alternative Modes of Transportation and Reduced Reliance on Single-Occupant Auto goal scores can be up to 11% of project score
Does the project benefit the Public Transit System? 2 points.
Project increases alternative mode options for transportation system users. 2 points are awarded for each of the following modes that are included in the project scope, to a maximum of 7 points: bike lanes, sidewalks, park and ride facilities, bus stops Wow, 7 points! That's more than this one:
Does the project enhance a designated truck/freight route? 3 points. That's right, the method that businesses use to transport their goods to and from locations is a measly point higher than the Public Transit System which is used to trasport drug addicts from one flop house to another and 4 points less if you throw in bike lanes and sidewalks! Actually, since they are seperate line items you could combine the 2 points for the public transit with the 7 points for the the public transit and bike paths for a total of 9.
Does the project encourage mixed use, energy-efficient development designed to encourage walking, biking and transit use (where transit is available)? 1.5 points for social engineering.
And how do we rate as lowly citizens?
Property owners and affected parties have been notified, an opportunity to comment was provided, and comment was recorded. 1 point.
Good luck finding a parking spot...
