Local Government: All Politics Is Crazy

Strictly A ball to the major leagues- the Taiwanese legislature (or is it South Korea?).
 
Re: Local Government: All Politics Is Crazy

Gotta hear more about this.

In mid-February, Payne approached the city’s geographic information services coordinator to inquire about whether the city could create a highly specific mapping program showing where Sunni and Shiite Muslim residents lived by neighborhood, house, or person, according to the report.

Payne, an Army veteran and member of the Washington National Guard, referred to the proposed “tactical map” using military parlance and said such a map would help “in case he needed to go into neighborhoods to ‘make the peace,’” the report said. Multiple city staffers told the investigator they were uncomfortable with the idea, which they said could be construed as racial profiling.

The article could certainly be wrong but they did blame the surveyor for improper measurement, not the engineer. (Typical surveyor has a certificate or 2 year degree, not an engineer.)

I thought "civil engineer" was an oxymoron.

Years ago I was in Las Vegas playing poker at Binions, downtown. I was at the same table with "Oklahoma" Johnny Hale, and he was talking about his days before he became a "famous" poker player. He was a civil engineer and just played poker on the side. Most of his civil engineering work was done in Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. I'll never forget when he said, "Yeah, there are quite a few bridges that I designed that I'm bit surprised are still standing." :eek:

He declined to identify them for us. :p

For one of Muskegon's Probate court judge elections, there is a candidate named Jenny McNeill. However, no word on if she's a Single Female Lawyer.
