    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.

    Speaker Dillon talks about government reform, but his inaction speaks volumes

    Cross-posted at FireDennis.com

    Speaker of the House Andy Dillon, a Democrat candidate for governor, was on WJR with Frank Beckmann this morning talking about the need for "commonsense" reform of government.

    He talked about restructuring, consolidating and streamlining government.

    Yet his record with government reform at the local level is one of inaction.

    After I was on Beckmann's show on February 13, 2009, to discuss my efforts to abolish my own office, Dillon called in and promised to support legislation in the House of Representatives.

    Well, the legislation, House Bill No. 5216, was introduced last summer and there's been no action.

    Dillon has the power to move this commonsense reform of local government, yet he hasn't.

    Why?

    This is from my blog at Some Other Viewpoint

    Mr. Peterson is correct in pointing out the merits of checks and balances.

    His support of pols pay (above national average for Bachelor degrees), benefits (lifetime after being elected one term), and pensions (ever heard of a 401K?) is disturbing. He has a sense of entitlment that is not in line with core Republican values.
