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.

House Speaker Jase Bolger on Friday stripped state Rep. Harvey Santana, D-Detroit, of his two committee assignments for repeated misbehavior on the House floor.
House Democratic Leader Richard Hammel asked the Republican speaker to remove Santana from the Energy and Technology, and Transportation committees for "unprofessional" and "inappropriate" conduct following a vote late Thursday on a bill authorizing Detroit to create a street lighting authority.
In December, Santana had a brief physical confrontation with Rep. David Nathan, a fellow Detroit Democrat, in an incident that was defused by House sergeants who reportedly had to restrain Santana. Bolger previously disciplined Santana for the fracas with Nathan by removing him from the agriculture committee.
Rest here

Kenneth Cockrel's, DPS indoctrinated 'community organizer' pet project implodes yet again? Like with everything that is Detroit... I'm so shocked.

As the saying goes, give 'em enough rope...

I Just happened to come across this little piece of buried hilarity involving Rep. Harvey Santana (District 10 - La Raza) maintaining his mentally unhinged, Democratic Party classy reputation.

MI reps engage in scuffle in Capitol: woodtv.com

Michigan Public Radio's Rick Pluta was at the Capitol and reports:

Representative Harvey Santana lunged at fellow Detroit Democrat David Nathan during a heated discussion at Nathan's desk. State Representative Roy Schmidt got between the two and was knocked about. A staffer was also accidentally pushed to the floor as House security rushed to break up the altercation. Santana was escorted out of the room by the House sergeant at arms, but was later allowed to return to his seat to vote.

LOL What a maroon.
