Take A Look At That Tax Bill! Due Feb. 10!
Posted By: Scott Weber 02/08/2010 @ 10:10 PM

     The biggest error you can make is to NEVER look at where your Real Estate Tax money goes.  Most of you probably have the bank pay it with your monthly house payment and neglect to see how it's broken out.  If you haven't seen it in a while, it's time to sit up and pay attention.  Open your mail or trot down to the bank or county office and get a copy of your "Real Estate Tax Bill".  Read your homework! 

     First, pay attention to the "Full Market Value" the County Treasurer assigns to your home and property.  MINE IS OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH!  Someone forgot to inform the ...

Fire Chief Disputes Thompson Letter
Posted By: Scott Weber 02/08/2010 @ 09:58 PM

     I got a heated call from Burton Volunteer Fire Chief Mike Sestak tonight disputing Kelly Thompson's previous post earlier today.  He gave me so much information I couldn't get it all down, but I did remember his response to this question:  "Mike, are some of the calls to back-up other fire departments rather than serve the Burton people?"  Answer:  "Yes."  I asked for a breakdown of the call list and he said he would get that.  I told him that I didn't think MY TAX DOLLARS should go to bucking up the smaller volunteer departments in the area and that I knew they made MANY runs to Burton Health Care.  And ...

New Berkshire Track? Football Stadium?
Posted By: Scott Weber 02/08/2010 @ 09:38 PM

     I darted into the Berkshire School Board meeting tonight (they only last about 20 minutes, so it was nearly over by the time I got there at 6:20 pm!  Oh my...).  Anyway, the athletic director was fielding a question from a parent about the need for a track/new football stadium.

     OK, it would be lovely to have a NEW rubber track and football stadium on the "now not so vacant land" across from the Fairgrounds.  Imagine how cool that would be!  But there's one little speedbump (make that the Grand Canyon...) on the way to glory:  MONEY.  There ain't none of it...  And we sure wouldn't ...

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Better ask the 10% of the population who do not have jobs that question...  Didn't the "Mess-iah" DEMAND that Congress immediately pass a HUGE "Stimulus" bill to cure the economy?  Hmmm...

Writer Pegs Puppet 'Mess-iah' Perfectly
Posted By: Scott Weber 02/08/2010 @ 04:28 PM

Blog-Readers:  Here is a magnificent article by a Wall Street Forum writer who has NAILED the joke in the White House perfectly.  A MUST READ.  He hits all points.  After one year of trial, it's evident that this writer is correct.

******************

Article from the Wall Street Journal Forum  by Eddie Sessions: 

     "I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think he's led a kind of
make-believe life in which money was provided and doors were opened because
at some point early on somebody or some group took a ...

Create A Fire District? Don't hold your breath...
Posted By: Scott Weber 02/08/2010 @ 11:48 AM

Scott, 

     Speaking about the fire district, I have always wondered for years why each township has their own fire department.  Please, add the trucks from Middlefield, Burton, and Newbury and tell me when they were in use at the same time.  How much money is invested in the equipment?  I believe that township fire departments were designed for township jurisdictions when they were horse pulled.  A ladder truck cost about 500,000 dollars and we have three on SR-87 in Geauga County.  It is time that we grouped the fire departments together.  Taxpayers are running out of money.  Maybe we should start a Geauga Fire ...

Quick Area Tidbits:

My Hero Rick Seyer:  Well it didn't take newly elected Rick Seyer very long to try to "wake up" the Middlefield Village Council at his first meeting...  First he told them it was CRAZY to be paying over $100,000 for the former Middlefield Police Chief to STAY HOME and do nothing...  Of course!  And secondly Seyer told the Council it was CRAZY to give even a 1% raise to village employees in this climate.  Of course. Seyer was outvoted on the latter and the stubborn (and foolish) Council elected not to act on his request ...

Boycott Yellow Tail Wine!
Posted By: Scott Weber 02/04/2010 @ 08:54 AM

Yellow Tail Wine Gives Money to HSUS

Sportsmen Urged to Voice Protest

     The Australian maker of Yellow Tail Wine has pledged $100,000 to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the nation’s largest anti-hunting organization. This partnership offers further proof of HSUS’ work to spin its animal rights message in a way as to seem mainstream. 
     As HSUS states on its website: 
     “… the HSUS has paired with [yellow tail] for the "tails for tails" program.  Through the end of March, you'll ...
