Dosed with pcp to quote Rachel Maddow gop leaders bankruptly abandoned the strategy they had announced hours earlier to avoid a Government Shutdown. The plan was to pass a debt ceiling bill that included everything from gutting wall street reform to undoing environmental regulations as well as what White House Press secretary jay carney said yesterday. The only thing i didnt see mentioned was a birther bill. Even this did not satisfy about two dozen of the most extreme members of John Boehners house of crazy cards who want to duke it out over the looming shutdown before moving on to the catastrophic debt ceiling. With the house party caucus unable to support anything less than deporting the president to kenya in exchange for paying bills, a Government Shutdown appears more and more likely. As political rights, nobody, not even those in charge, know how the budget battle will end or if it will end. Or perhaps nancy pelosi described the republican plan best. I dont know that they even kn
Step to advance historic gun violence prevention legislation. H.

Uvalde, parkland, tree of life synagogue, how many more Mass Shootings must
Area that really take advantage of the school because it is essentially located. And provides us with the real opportunity to walk as well. And also a teacher, and i want to talk about the value of the Teaching Staff thatvy been impressed with the teachers and my children have come out really happy and provided us with the opportunity to stay in the city and we did not have many options in the neighborhood. And the third piece is the school really touches on the Jewish Values that are so important to me and my family. And we dont have other options in the southern part of the city for jewish preschools and so it would be a real shame and tragic if the school was not able to operate there and so i encourage you to please pass this permit through. Thank you so much. I will call a few more names. Ran dal zulensky and vicki rosen and paul adler, Janice Miller and william laguna, lisa dugos. Good evening, commissioners and thank you for giving me a platform. I would actually like to take a
Parents have a place to send the children that are not made to feel like out casts the spouses respect for diversity and i see no alternative but for approval of the conditional use permit thank you. Good evening. My name is vicky rosen and i am the president of upper valley neighbors and a 25yearold group in the valley. And our group is in support of the project for a number of reasons, first and foremost, we believe that it is a first class facility that is greatly needed in our neighborhood. We are familiar with the organization through personal experience and an understanding of how the organization is run, and from information we have gotten, from parents whose children attend school there. And over the course of our groups existence, we have worked with neighbors to resolve many disputes and especially those regarding planning issues. Our goal has always been to protect the interest of our neighborhood and city and try to reach compromises with all parties. And we believe that th
