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.

The longer that Leader Richardville sits on the Senate vote of HB 4003, which has been discharged since 12/01/11 without amendment from the Committee on Reforms, Restructuring and Reinventing, the more millions the SEIU has in its war chest. The more millions Leader Richardville allows in the SEIU coffer, the more the SEIU is able to put feet on the ground for the DNC's Occupy.

Which team are you on, Leader Richardville?

Michigan's Republican-controlled Senate is reaching a milestone.
As of Feb. 24, the Senate -- by its inaction to pass a bill that would end the "Home Health Care Dues Skim" -- will have enriched union coffers by $4 million.
This "skim" resulted from a union scheme perpetrated while Jennifer Granholm was governor. The plan used a dummy employer and a stealth election to railroad 43,000 so-called home health care workers into the Service Employees International Union. That 43,000 has now swollen to 56,442.
Rest here

Like in yesterdays topic... Here's your attaboy Senate toadies. Cheers!

Chip.

Michigan Senate majority leader Randy Richardville stood up tough to those big bad unions!

SB 0971 which amends 1947 PA 336 puts the hammer down on public unions trying to organize those loose knit university graduate students. By golly, they had better apply that IRS approval process to determine whether the position can be dragged kicking and screaming into big labor subjugation! :

"(iii) An individual serving as a graduate student research assistant or in an equivalent position and any individual whose position does not have sufficient indicia of an <<employER-EMPLOYEE relationship using the 20-factor test announced by the internal revenue service of the United States department of treasury in revenue ruling 87-41, 1987-1 C.B. 296>> is not a public employee entitled to representation or collective bargaining rights under this act."

Tough guy huh?

OK you radical Right Wing anti-union types, don't eat that calcified munchie all in one sitting, OK?

In other news, Richardville is looking to sponsor Right-To-Look-For-Work legislation.
