Another reason traffic is so bad in the mornings is because of all the moms driving their kids to private schools all around the city.

Thanks Judge Parker! You fricked up neighborhood schools and created our future traffic problems!

It's hard to take any job numbers related to the LWC seriously. There have been several incidents where the published numbers proved absurd. Ironically, Martha Shuler identified a few anomalies in the statistics published, but never pursued the issues.

I was researching green job grants and discovered their contractor simply used keywords for reporting purposes.





Then I reviewed the "largest employers" in the state...#2 was bankrupt, Walmart employs 39,000 people in this state, yet didn't make the top 10.



...They report 2 million workers in the state, yet the top 10 employers have less than 50,000 employees combined? Civil Services alone employees ~100K.
