They dont want to lose cooling power to the hospital as they did in the flood of '08 because the existing plant was inundated by flood water. It would cost too much to update the existing plant to meet flood protection requirements is my guess.

The city is taking the poor and disregarding their only way to make money. The money from the meters will be stripped away by too many middlemen to be of any significance for the homeless.

They purposely make it this way just so they can ticket you. This is a very unfair city enacted practice.

Two families are torn apart by this incident from the bad actions of a very misguided teen.

I find it unbelievable that you think you have the right to impose your beliefs on other people.

If they want to keep this policy, it needs to be revised.

This includes the national defense. It would be incredibly unfair for them to charge us for police and fire fighters protection. That is why we pay taxes! This is not for a city to make extra money!

The bond is much too low for the implications of a threat of this magnitude.

Now if only CEO's of the major banks would follow suit.

Whenever you hear of horrific accidents when people drive into crowds, it's typically older people who mistake the gas pedal for the brake pedal for example. It's nobodys fault, other than we just get older and lose our mobility a bit.

We have over taken their natural habitat and they have no where else to go. It's sad that this bowhunting program has to happen. It's even sadder when you see deer with arrows sticking out of the torso from crappy bow hunters.

If you go to the hawk shop or hawk stores, you'll find that they sell shot glasses, mugs, etc... with the hawkeye logo all over it. This is not about binge drinking, it's about money.
