Life is about choices. This girl chose to steal the drugs from her grandmother. She then chose to sell them to some willing person who also made a choice. Unfortunately for the young man that chose to ingest the drug, life ended as he knew it and it has saddened many people but he did make that choice. A 14 year old child is not necessarily beyond help. She will live the rest of her life knowing how her choices affected so many others. That in itself is will be punishment to her for the rest of her life. She still needs to be held accountable by law for her choices too but really people. Lock her up and throw away the key? Get real.

Wow, only in Wisconsin! Drink, drive, drink, drive, oops, got caught, slap on the wrist, drink, drive..........repeat as often as you wish until your drinking and driving mams or kills you or someone else. If you can afford to drink, for goodness sake, call a cab when you are ready to go home.

Found the following info in a Google search. Sounds like the school should be dealing with the parents of any of the children under 18 (hopefully the parents will act like such and use this to teach the children what being accountable for your actions means). For those over 18, start acting like the adults you wish to be treated like. Take accountability for your actions and the consequences that come with breaking the law.

Age of Consent: Contracts & Agreements

Minors under the age of consent cannot sign contracts or agreements, and if they do, the documents are not legally valid and will not hold up in court. Those documents might include housing leases, business negotiations, bills of sale or any agreement that requires consent.

In most states, parents and/or guardians can sign contracts and agreements on behalf of their minor children, but it is the adults who must manage the agreement and who are liable for problems associated with such. For example, if parents of a minor child sign a bill of sale for a vehicle for the child, then fail to make the payments, it will be the parents who are sued in court, and not the minor child.

Kudos to you Onelife, may God keep his hand on your shoulder every day! - Evansvillehousewife is correct too - if every one of us willing to post on here anonymously would stand up to the drug dealers and thugs by reporting suspicious activities in our own neighborhoods, they would have nowhere to go.

On Sheridan says he won’t resign or be replaced

dkush21 is exactly right - this is just legalized loan sharking. Banks and Credit Unions have laws to abide by, why don't these guys? They are preying on the exact people that need a leg up, not their knees taken out when they don't pay back. I'm sure these places were probably started by some mafia that had some politician paid off somewhere. JMO

The website name is pretty self explanatory. Have a look at what illegal immigrants cost the American(legal) taxpayer.

On Second vote on union likely at RathGibson

Posted on August 6 at 9:44 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

Look what the union did for GM folks. Where are your heads right now? If you show up for work every day and do your job, why do you need to pay a union to create a contract between you and your employer? From what I have heard most people working at Rath make $15+ per hour. Sure, you may have had changes to some of your benefits etc. but then again, who isn't getting hit with changes like these now days?

Vote the union in and you will some day be working next to one of the few people you are paying dues to protect, the guy who calls in sick all the time or comes to work and does nothing all day while you pick up the slack. The company will try to fire the bum but guess what, your union will save his sorry butt and you will continue to do his share of the work.

I worked for a company for many years that was threatened with a union about every 3 years. Each time, we voted no. Those of us that showed up for work and did our jobs knew we didn't need to pay 2-3 hrs. of our wages to the union clowns each month to keep our jobs. The company also allowed employee input whenever they felt a policy or procedure needed to be updated. They also allowed employees on hiring committees etc. so we had some say in who we would be working with. (some of us were much better judges of character than the management)

Maybe you should all try thinking outside the box the union wants you in so they can collect your wages and then sit back and do nothing for you but bargain your way out of jobs. Just a thought, and no, I don't work for Rath and only know a few people that do.

On BTC instructors' pay going up

Posted on February 19 at 5:45 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

The entire admin staff at BTC is laden with overpaid arrogant people, (just look for Eric Larson in his car some day and take a peek at the license plate), why shouldn't the teachers, the ones that really do all the work at BTC, get paid just as well. The increases won't even bring most of them close to the salary Gohlke and other admin are earning.

Remember the article about the title change to for Gohlke and a couple of other job titles a year or so ago. Huge increases in salaries were given with the title changes but no apparent added responsibilities. The teachers are the ones doing all the work there, please don't complain about their pay. I'll bet most of the full-time teaching staff spends 60+ hours a week doing their jobs. That comes out to about $22/hr at 68k a year. Less than what a line worker at GM was making. Cut them some slack. Don't forget, our tax dollars pay for the admin too and the board always seem to approve pay raises for them, this truly is taxation without representation.
