| SAISD workers accused of stealing copper
Two former San Antonio Independent School District employees have been accused of stealing copper. "We have presented charges to the DA for prosecution of two former employees for stealing copper tubing from several of our schools," SAISD spokeswoman Carmen Vázquez-González said. Authorities have not charged the two men, so their names are not available. On Wednesday, copper was selling for about $3 per pound. Vázquez-González says the pair took up to $10,000 worth of copper from air conditioning units from portable buildings and other school district facilities. "We're looking at, right now, at least $10,000 in aggregate charges," she said. .
Extra! UIdaho Student Found Shot to Death
Even what little projects are left will REQUIRE tax increases in the future. The Idaho Transporation Department has been gutted. Idaho's entire transportation system has been uprooted and set back years because of this disaster known as GARVEE. What the Legislature should do tomorrow is tell Idaho they made a mistake 2 years ago that has cost too much. They need to gut it completely and ask Governor Otter and ITD to spend the next few months getting things back on track, making transporation the issue of 2008. Meanwhile, the "consultants" who were the beneficiaries of these so-called GARVEE bonds (the people got nothing--NOTHING--from this deal, even though millions have been spent!) can go back to the drawing table. Shame on the Legislature 2 years ago for letting this thing happen when they were put into a corner by our then governor at the last minute, without sufficient information! It was such a scam! Shame on them.
Zumaya a California Wildfire Casualty
Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Joel Zumaya is going to be gone for at least half of 2008 after injuring his shoulder moving items in his Chula Vista, California home during last week's wildfires. ESPN.com reports Zumaya underwent shoulder surgery on his pitching shoulder in nearby San Diego and won't begin a new throwing program for at least four months. Zumaya may or may not be the first baseball player injured as a result of the wildfires which destroyed several thousand homes, but several players—including Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn and other Padres—were forced to evacuate their homes at the height of the blazes. The Poway home of former Atlanta Braves star David Justice was destroyed in one of the wildfires.
