New plan or old one? If it was the old plan following a normal process, on a case by case basis as the contracts were entered, there’d be no need for an announcement. If a change has been made, such as including the years of suspended payments into the formula, you might be proud enough to announce relief for those who twenty or twenty-five years later still can’t get a good enough job to pay their bills.

Or let the schools be the lenders.

This is a recurring problem that you incur. There’s a whole lot more to the story than what wiki reveals, although it does note that the plan that was enacted was not the same as Brownback proposed. I was listening to Kansas radio near daily during that time and there were lots of shenanigans involved, most egregiously by the teachers union. Then there was the lament of many that by the time they changed it, the situation was starting to resemble what had been predicted. And Kansas is a wonderland for bird and deer hunters.

On top of the years that the payments were suspended due to covid? And politicians are expected to represent their constituents desires through constitutionally sound procedures, not any avenue possible, not any means necessary. That attitude invites corruption.

Wrong again. Biden even acknowledged that the Court had told him he couldn’t do it, but he’d found a way around them. We’ll see. It certainly wasn’t through done through Constitutional legislation. He wants to be a dictator.

So, not an extra-legal, Supreme Court overruled, executive order? Done constitutionally, through legislation. I know you just overlooked that point.

From the Pistols Firing Blog: “Before this past season began, Coleman Scott, who wrestled under Smith, left his head coaching position at North Carolina to become associate head coach for the Cowboys. Scott has been elevated to interim head coach after Smith’s retirement and, by Oklahoma State law, the job must be publicly posted and open for at least five days before a hire is made, even if it’s an internal hire. OSU announced Smith and athletic director Chad Weiberg will host a news conference Monday about Smith’s decision to retire, but that release did not state anything about Coleman or announcing a hire.”

A separation of announcements may be out of courtesy to the men involved. The end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Thanks for all you did, John Smith.

As Eric Idle said, “I don’t like people who vent their loquacity with extraneous bombastic circumlocution.”

They create the problem, then they create problems trying to correct the problem they created. It’s like job security.

At least you’re maintaining the same level of honesty in your posts.

With a full glass?

And you post a link to another example of suppression. Good job.

The correlation is similar.

Hamburger helper works, but the hamburger has to want to be helped for it to be successful.

Everyone who eats carrots dies.

The helter skelter of the NCAA wrestling tournament does not lend itself well to tv viewership. Maybe if it was a dual championship it would get more viewers.

Who’s was it?

I don’t know about faceboot, but I had the impression that Daton’s father and both grandfathers were college wrestlers and coaches.

You are falling for garbage journalism and data. A quick explanation: Illegals work for cheaper wages than legal workers, therefore any collections from their wages are less than what would be paid by workers making higher wages. There are many programs that allow illegals to receive benefits, and many have work-arounds that enable them to collect benefits dishonestly. As for jobs Americans won’t do, a study done a few years ago showed that not one single job category was filled by more illegals than legals. Not one. What is factually correct is that their presence and their occupation in the workforce, is detrimental to the strength of the economy, and the wages of legal lower and middle wage workers. They may be beneficial to the chamber of commerce, but they are a net drain on the country.

Make up your mind.
