Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

SB 280: Pop Goes the Weasel

Because the weasel needs a good popping. Unfortunate for the majority in Lansing, however, the House, and Senate Republicans are learning the hard lesson taught when ignoring their Party Platform, Constitution limits, and bowing to a limousine liberal Corporatist Ann Arbor Nerd.

"Since it's tax season, I've had a huge amount of calls from my constituents when they find out what their tax liability is," Jones told MLive on Thursday. "I think it's extremely unfair when people have planned their life for their retirement and then suddenly, in the midst of their retirement, they get a new tax."
Senate Bill 280 is co-sponsored by Sens. Tory Rocca of Sterling Heights, Joe Hune of Hamburg Township, Dave Hildenbrand of Lowell and Jack Brandenburg of Harrison Township.
All five Republicans voted in 2011 against a bill backed by Gov. Rick Snyder that rewrote state tax code, eliminating the oft-criticized Michigan Business Tax and cutting personal income tax exemptions on pensions while limiting homestead property credits.
Jones said he supported the MBT-repeal portion of the legislation, [snip]

Votes do indeed have consequences. I know plenty of folks who have just had enough of JenniRick Snydholm's amnesty promoting, BIGGER TAXES, Bigger Government, and Bigger Spending federal government dependency Bee esS. Looks like the Taxed Enough Already message is finally slapping the stealth Democrat self-invented Nerd persona upside his bulbous head with legislators now fearful of losing their elected seats. Good. Just wait until folks figure out what was done to them with Blue Cross Blue Shield in 2016, and bowing to the Nerd.

SB 280: SML Richardville, and reelected Speaker Bolger (if not indicted by mid August), have yet another legislative opportunity to salvage the '14 election for the MIaGOP, but will they lead the way?

...for more tax dollar subsidy for JenniRick Snydholm's MEDC.

Spoken like true Michiganders... all it takes is other peoples money moving free markets to unnatural settings for appeasing their altruistic wants.

Welcome to the Millennial generation USSA. Another big win in the column for Bill.

The Detroit News

"We know it's important for us ... to get these young people before prospective employers," Mike Finney, CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp., said Monday at Gov. Rick Snyder's 2013 Economic Summit in Cobo Center here. "We're starting to scale that up. We've got to start facilitating the connectedness to make these things happen."
The effort, based on a pilot program that aims to connect qualified technical school graduates with open jobs, is an extension of the governor's efforts to boost job creation, lower an unemployment rate hovering around 9 percent and encourage the state's business community to take a leading role in spurring economic growth.
...
In an interview, the governor said economic development is about more than extending "tax credits. It's about people helping people." And the traditional system for matching the supply of talent to demand in the private sector "is broken, and it's not just broken in Michigan. It's broken nationally."
In that, the relentlessly positive Snyder sees opportunity. There's opportunity to keep graduates of Michigan's colleges and universities at home; opportunity to attract talent from other states if Michigan can develop a program to connect talent to employment; and opportunity to leverage the promise of a recovering economy.

It's no wonder this nation is going down the drain before our very eyes. Now the self-invented Nerd persona is using our tax dollars to fill positions at Corporations are People Too with the name your studies degree Big Ed debt slaves. The Governerd has identified his BIG C as plain as day... growing Crony Capitalism

A citizen WITH ANY JOB is a FIRST CLASS citizen - period.

It's about damn time all these Boomer generation dregs come to grips with their precious snowflake Millennial spawn who were suckered into Big Ed aristocracy debt, that their whatever studies BS, MA, and PhD's are useless. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the only game being played is lining the pockets of university executives. And, those campus Socialist like Mary Sue Coleman always find the time to stir the Race Card pot when the others aren't busy indoctrinating bestiality as an accepted norm.
