Penrose Hollins Explains Workforce Housing
I got a call back from Penrose Hollins yesterday evening. Councilman Hollins was at the meeting on Thursday night because he was the sponsor of the Workforce Housing Ondinance.

On Friday afternoon, he announced that if he were to die, a district manager for Borsheim’s Jewelry (one of his holdings) would take over as CEO. If, as the weekend progressed, stories came out about questionable business practices and personal decisions by this district manager, […]

Obama to His Supporters: Lay Off
From ABCNews: “Let me be a clear as possible: I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people’s families are off limits,” Obama said, “and people’s children are especially off limits. “This shouldn’t be part of our politics,” he continued, “It has no relevance to Gov.
