I wonder if the framers of the Constitution thought that a president wouldn't want senate confirmed appointees. Or maybe its just a big loophole
I would rather see you lose than win myself

Gov. Phil Murphy last month signed off on a new law letting counties and municipalities charge property owners for the water that runs off their land when it rains. The new law gives local governments permission to establish stormwater utilities, starting in mid-September. Those utilities could collect fees that are intended to fairly approximate stormwater runoff resulting from impervious surfaces, such as parking lots.


I like it!

Very true. Can't just be a new revenue source funneled to the favored engineering firms, with a little something lost along the way in the transfer. but it might. I don't think you'll see a wave of these, though.

Trump on George Washington, during a visit to Mount Vernon: “If he was smart, he would’ve put his name on it...You’ve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you.”

pretty much every town has a washington st and a george washington hs nearby. dont foresee that being the case with trump though. must be hard to wrestle with.

He couldn't really have said this, could he? Even he isn't that dumb. Right?
