Gov Wolf and edu funding
And, the governor who ran falsely accusing his predecessor of cutting funding to public education is now proposing his own cut to school districts. The Wolf Administration wants to reduce state subsidies for transportation on the premise that gasoline prices have dropped. The end result would be school districts having to make up the difference through budget cuts, or more likely property tax hikes.
At the end of the day, the governor's budget is rife with faulty revenue assumptions, tax shifts, and spending increases again ignoring the reality that state government already spends more than we can afford. To make matters worse it does nothing to address major cost drivers like the massive unfunded liability in our state employee pension funds.

Fwd: Sliming in
From: John H
As the neoliberal/neoconservative nexus pushes on to each American's front door, the slime of neofeudalism is slowly oozing under the door and into the living room and threatening each and every one of our futures.

Well, it appears that the verdict is in and . . . WAR is the in thing in the Trump administration. This doesn't appear to be promising – here or there.

Update for swimming
Noah Jamison, 10th grade, Obama, was officially notified that he has qualified for the PIAA Swim Class AA Championships at Bucknell starting March 15, 2017. He qualified with his fast performances in both the 200 IM and 500 free at the recent WPIAL meet. Noah set a new school record in the 500 free, 4:54.01, bettering a previous record from more than four years ago that was held by Erik Rauterkus, the oldest son of Head Coach Mark Rauterkus. This year marks the ninth consecutive year Coach Rauterkus has led PPS athletes to the state championships, and in 2017, three athlete get to compete: Jamison, Sead Niksic, 11, and Amilia Niksic, 9.

Fwd: Big Data and Big Surveillance
---------- Forwarded message
From: John H
On Monday I sent out an article on Robert Mercer and Cambridge Analytica. Today there is a follow-up of sort discussing Big Data and the Democratic Party establishment (the New Democrats and the DNC). It takes some issue with the first article but is really worth reading. The second attachment discusses enhanced surveillance techniques being employed by corporations on their employees. This is an extremely frightening turn down the road toward complete totalitarian control of all workers and, perhaps, all of us whether working or not. Do read this!

Doing it to themselves, and to us, once again. The Democratic Party is incapable of learning from failure because it is dominated by neoliberal elites who care not at all for the rest of us.
