  • 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.

    For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

    It has crossed my mind. If growing government is considered "a success" by an alleged Republican dominated state with every lever of power in Lansing, then WhyTF would I want to remain here just to be fleeced?

    Michigan's population is slowly rebounding, but millionaires may not be sticking around for the state's revival. [Where is the "revival"?]

    Despite encouraging economic trends and a booming stock market, the state had 10,000 fewer millionaire households in 2013 than 2012, the Phoenix Global Wealth Monitor estimated in a report released this week.

    Only one word comes to mind: Starve.

    Yannow, between the Governerd surrounding himself with a deadbeat Treasurer, and a Medicaid billing mooslime responsible for at least one death now dumping $25K into the One Tough Nerd PAC <cough>HB 4714</cough>, all one has to do is sit back and watch "Rick Michigan" implode all on his own.  Damn good thing you're getting your monies upfront, young Johnny.

    One Term Nerd, baby!

    Another day older and deeper in debt
    Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
    I owe my soul to the Government store

    The state of Michigan will soon allow companies, organizations and communities to use the popular "Pure Michigan" branding in joint advertising and marketing.
    ....

    "We will create customized 'Pure Michigan' advertising campaigns centered around clusters of business that we have in the state," Finney [MEDC] said. "You could take automotive, or you could take dairy [Subsidized], or you could take other agricultural products [Subsidized too, even The Dead], or software and we'll create customizable opportunities for companies to actively participate in the campaign."

    The move is an extension of what the state has done with the tourism industry, where it has worked with about 50 partners to jointly advertise cities and tourist attractions such as The Henry Ford [501(c)(3) Tax Exempt] in Dearborn, Finney said. In those cases, the state [all taxpayers] and the entities split the costs for the creative advertising, he said.

    ...and that government of choosing the people, over the people, forking the people, shall not parish from Lansing, nor D.C.

    This is about as good as it gets with avoiding clear answers to direct questions.

    God, I just despise the nasally weasel.  Snyder embodies everything that is in topic over here.

    It's going to be a pleasure to fire him next November.

    TRIFECTA - Insane: Bankrupt Detroit Spending $444 Million on Hockey Arena

    A nation laughs...

    In spite of a long documented history of failure, you own it, Lansing Nerdpublicans.  OABTW, you own the Tax Hike too.

    Maybe, just maybe it will sink into Republican voters heads that they have a Nerd problem.  However, this is Michigan, so I'm not going to hold my breath.

    Your Garbage Pick Up Service and the Wrath of Sen. Kahn-R

    Tags: Garbage Service Fees, Tax Hikes, MI-GOP, Is Their a GOP?, I don't see it (all tags)

    That's right folks, our alleged Republican Super Majority Senate has decided that a 71.42% increase on "tipping fee" another necessary tax hike on Michiganders.

    The FY 2011-12 DEQ budget was built on the assumption that this fee would be raised by the amounts contained in the bill. Currently, the solid waste surcharge fee raises approximately $2.8 million per year. The fee is used as the primary funding source for the regulation, inspection and monitoring of private and public solid waste landfills in the State. The Department of Environmental Quality estimates that under the bill, approximately $4.6 million would be raised in FY 2011-12, and using Department estimates for the volume of waste projected to be deposited in FY 2012-13, the fee would raise $4.3 million for FY 2012-13.

    Nice, eh?

    To The Head Of The Class.. Warfare

    Huh..

    Rich people create jobs.  To grow their income they either invest it in outside companies or perhaps their own, which will use the investment to expand, OR they will spend it on the types of products that require manufacture.  Manufacturing itself requires the creation of jobs for the process.  A manufacturer, or Value adding business must produce a product that is worth more than the sum of its ingredients, or it fails.

    That is a good thing right?  ..Why yes, it is..

    Profits extracted from the process, are flipped back over in the manner described above.

    Michigan manufacturers and business owners have created an incredible amount of wealth over the years.  In that process there were a few folks who certainly have done well for themselves, including icons like Mike Illitch, Tom Monahan, Dick Devos, and Rick Snyder to name a few. These 'fat cats' have made it possible for a number of other entrepreneurs to find their road to riches as well.

    Its kind of funny however, when politicians discuss these folks as if they are bad ones that need to be punished..
