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.

Teach the MEA a lesson - Vote "NO" on Paul Scott's recall

Crossposted on my blog under title "Teach the MEA a lesson - Fiani and Rassel for Brighton School Board, and "NO" on Paul Scott's recall"

The MEA has spent in the six figures going after Paul Scott because they don't like him. Most state rep races around here are about $25-40K, although they are higher in the 51st District. This is still an extremely large amount of money. If the MEA is so "pro-kids," why is it spending $120K+ going after Paul Scott. That money can go towards school districts instead of politics.

We can't let the MEA leadership and their shady tactics have the win. No on the Paul Scott recall.

Close to home in the Brighton School District, the MEA supported candidates are Bill Trombley and unofficially Beth Minert. I say unofficially because Minert is an MEA PAC donor, but does not want their endorsement because she is concerned about a backlash. Trombley wanted it and got it. Nick Fiani and Greg Rassel are the best choices.

However, there's more. There always is with an organization and its local affiliates ripe with Intolerance, questionable mailings, and outright lawbreaking.

How many folks in the Brighton School District got a postcard mailing from the Brighton Education Association? On it, it says "Paid for by Brighton Education Association." However, there is no PAC by that name listed at the County Clerks office, nor the Michigan Secretary of State. The BEA did it again.

It's time to teach the MEA and their affiliates a lesson for their intolerance, shady politics, and lawbreaking.
