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.

GOP can still stop the democrats in Paul Scott's District

Unfortunately the MEA got their scalp when Paul Scott was recalled. Assuming nobody changes their mind after canvassing and there is no recount, it's on to the next election.

There will be no primary for the upcoming special election. None. The candidates will be selected by the Genesee County parties. There will be an appointed Republican and appointed Democrat chosen for the special election. That means there is a lot of responsibility of the local parties to make a responsible choice. People sometimes wonder if county parties are important. This is a clear reason why it is important to make sure good people get appointed by precinct delegates to go on the executive committee.

Once the candidates are chosen by the executive committees, there will be a general election set to fill the vacancy. It is set for the next election day, which is in February - same day as the presidential primary.

Now wouldn't be something if Paul Scott was replaced by someone who was much more hardline against the MEA.....

This one isn't over yet.
