No reason to ship of the profit and power out of state with something like childcare. I can see that it was not her place to decide to donate services, but that doesnt mean the community needs to keep supporting this company either...

I will be the first person lined up to back a solid plan to do so. However, I am not sold on voting yes for something that will affect me until my own retirement until I see a specific plan for use of the money. I want our city to come back better and stronger than ever, and I sincerely hope that specific plans are included in those 20 meetings that Corbett has planned.

Im sure he was back home asleep by then. What a loser. I am glad the woman was okay and reported the incident.

Someone should cut something off of him with a pocketknife while he is conscious. What is even more rediculous is that this was two years ago and it is just now going to trial... his father never even got to have the closure of a trial.

It seems to me, with the amount of people it brings in, that the community would more than recover their investment of money.

It is her duty to help him, in whatever capacity that may be. Part of that would be to advise him of her percieved outcome for going to trial and/or settling. But after that, it is his decision, and he admits that he was told that it was entirely his choice. After looking at his lengthy record, I can only imagine that her advice was accuratte. Regardless, it was his decision. After weighing both sides, and reviewing his extensive criminal histoy, I am reminded of the movie Liar Liar. Jim Carrey's character advises his client "Stop breaking the law, @__ hole." Might be good advice for this one too.
