I still wish he'd get rid of the damn sales tax. It's the main reason retailers are seeing their customers go across the border to Ohio.

I agree! From what I understand, he could do it and we would still be ahead money wise.

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't there going to be charges against the mine owners?

I'm not sure. I haven't read about that.

I spent some time discussing tourism and the four-laning of Rt 35 with him at a Chamber of Comm. meeting. He was very very attentive and did not appear to be in a hurry to move on. He was very pleasant and I felt that he was genuine. I am usually able to get a "sense" of people pretty quickly. It's part of my job as well as due to a lot of years of experience interacting with thousands of people. Politicians are notorious for appearing one way and being another, but I got the same sense of Joe as I get from Dubya. He's religious, pro-life, small gov., social conservative. If he ever ran for president I would feel comfortable voting for him.

People...save your breath...you may as well talk to a post. This lady does not want to be confused by the facts. (She probably still believes Kennedy graduated from Harvard.) The truly sad things is that she gets to vote.

There have also been 2 deaths in the coal mines of Armstrong County, PA recently according to published reports. Things have really gone to pot during the GWB years, haven't they. More and I agree with GWB that President Clinton is one of my favorite persons.

Yes, surely no mine accidents occurred during the reign of St. Bubba the Pure. Oh, if only President Bush wasn't in charge of what every single molecule does each moment within the borders of the United States, we could all be happy and sing kum bai yah together. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
