For example, the AG of California has the same pay-grade of Vermont?

Maybe the military cost cutters can look at these positions to reduce in grade to save money instead of having the lower ranks shoulder the burden in personnel cuts and benefits?

No reason for most of the the AG's to draw the same pay.

While viewing photos at Randy Hopper, State Senate campaign site ( http://www.votehopper.com / ) that is paid for by Friends of Randy Hopper; Marty Ryan, Treasurer I stumbled on a campaign picture of Tea Party member holding a sign comparing President Obama to Nazi Adolf Hitler.
Also noted, it looks like they also compared him to Karl Marx, spelled with a "C".

The topic of the Federal Reserve was discussed. A couple students said they knew all about the Federal Reserve because they watched an online video of 'Money Matters'. The Prof. had not heard about 'Money Matters' and had the duo conduct a presentation of what they had learned from 'Money Matters'.

I sat their with my jaw open, uncomfortable at how could people fall for this conspiracy crap. They went on about the Federal Reserve is a secret organization and don't report to anyone but their own. They talked about being off the Gold Standard and how US currency is worthless. The video blamed the Lincoln and Kennedy assassination on the Federal Reserve and the predecessor to the Fed Reserve. Wars and other things blamed on the fed reserve. The duo kept saying, "I don't know if this is true or not, but this video says it is"

As they talked, they looked more and more uncomfortable, as they were seeing the feedback in our facial expressions.

While the rest of the class and the Prof was being polite. I said that I am not buying the conspiracy theory and in fact it looks like it is fueled by someone with an agenda. I also said that kind of talk could be dangerous.

All I can say people putting out these conspiracy theories need to be held accountable for the crap they put out.

Still paying Property Taxes on it as it it was assessed as 3700 square ft.

http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/24-Edge-... /
Address found on campaign contribution: http://images.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/fecimg/?...

According to Gloria Allred the house is now 15000 sq ft.

The home has not been reassessed and Ms Whitman and Dr Harsh are paying property taxes as it is only 3700 sq ft. (bought in 1999)

Will the media look into this?

"The poll showed women—where Democrats have a registration advantage of 15 percentage points over Republicans—are evenly split in their support of the candidates."

Or disciplinary purposes? I don't work in retail/call centers, so I was just wondering why they record these. I have some good guesses, but I don't think training is one of them.

As a reminder, states like California require you to list your online purchases you made that you not have all ready paid taxes on. Please list this on your state tax form if required and pay your taxes.

Happy Thanksgiving.
