The City, County, and State officials have been complaining that the Federal government hasn't been doing its share to help flood recover. I think its hypocritical for any of them to turn around and not do their share.

The only idea that the local government can come up with is extra taxes to help cover flood recovery let's be real.

That's 3900 affected it didn't say that many were damaged beyond repair.

I wouldn't buy one. If / When there are problems you get to try to sue a nonprofit. Forget it. It's bad enough holding a contractor responsible.

Some of the volunteers were very responsible and knew what they were doing others only claimed to.

I say too many volunteers taking sledge hammers at support bearing walls. People who wanted to just cover up instead of fixing structural damage. The volunteers had to be watched to be sure they actually knew what they were doing. There was plenty of times I was guarantied that the volunteers were experienced only to find out they didn't have a clue, the experienced person was assigned to another house. Who are you going to hold responsible when there are problems.

The volunteers were a mixed bunch. Some were very knowledgeable and competent others were not. Some of the volunteers I had did not have the foggiest idea what they were doing but claimed they did. .

I had to pay a lot of money to rip out stuff that had been done wrong and then pay to have it done right. Its not a case that I was being picky, its a case that work was not structurally sound. There were too many willing to cut corners BIG CORNERS, to see how much they could get done only to find out every thing they did had to be ripped out and redone. All that money spent on materials that had to be ripped out thrown away, money borrowed, and new material bought .

My first experience with volunteers was going over to see a neighbor who had volunteers, She wasn't home but there was dozens of volunteers taking sledge hammers at her support bearing walls. The person supervising them was not there.

There were so many times I thought I had made sure the volunteers knew what they were doing only to find out the group was doing 6 houses in town that week and out of 40 volunteers only 1 or 2 of them knew what they were doing and they were not going to be at my house at all.

My house had a basement wall move and the house settled several inches on one side. Desk drawers now open all by them self.

If you must watch channel 2 and fox get an antenna. Buying an antenna and converter box if nessacary is going to be cheaper in the long run then giving in to Sinclair. The increase in rates again and again will soon add up to more then the price of an antenna.

I don't understand how sinclair gets away with all this.
As far as watching their channels I've quit. They shows I like I can watch on line when its convienent which is so much better. As far as their news it use to be great. That was before they started the muckraking trying to sinsationalize stories. News should be fair and objective. If I want Jerry Springer I'll watch that if I want the news I want fair and honest

Don't bather trying to appeal. My Phyco X after several other failed attempts stole my truck drove it around the block and parked it in front of my house backwards. Then he called the police and reported it. So I got a ticket for Parking against the flow of trafic. He left a lovely voice message on my phone bragging and laughing about what he had done.

I appealed the ticket and got no where even with a tape of him laughing about what he had done.

I was informed if I took it to court and won I would stile have to pay the court cost which was more then the ticket.

No exception pay the ticket or pay the court costs

what do you mean 12 months too late their are lots of flood victims still working on damaged homes. Not only do they have to pay to have the junk haled away or pay to dump it there-self they want to increase the dumping fee.

Hay have some of you forgotten a nut case that the police/ sheriffs office dropped off at a mental word asking that they be notified before he was released. Not only were they not notified before he was turned lose the guys first act on getting back to town was to go over to the hi-school weight room and shoot the coach.

I believe if he is under arrest then they have to notify them.

That being the case then he should be arrested
