Today's RANT!

  Gasoline prices continue to climb while reports have Texas pumping more oil than several entire mideastern countries. There are more high mileage cars on the roads than ever before. Oil companies and government appear to be in cahoots as our wallets get picked. "Big Oil","big government" and car companies seem to think skyrocketing gas prices are acceptable. Consumers must park their cars more,carpool and use mass transit to stop this price gouging at the gas pump.

Police State at LP&L Board Meeting

  This editor has confirmed between 12 and 15 LPD officers were at LP&L headquarters according to two sources. There were only two seen in the meeting at a table,supposedly.I am "banned" from city meetings but I did attend the protest in an observor capacity. "Weenies" like Robert Musselman,Carroll McDonald and Gail Kring are more in need of a nurse than a cop. People like Marc McDougal and Clayton Isom probably should have their butler/driver sitting next to them. This LP&L board needs a complete overhaul.
