But I get the impression from the article that it went straight into their own pockets. We need a good homeless program around here. If that would fund it, I don't have a problem with making the money for it off of short sales. It is in a way in the national interest, since the whole country's homeless come here during the winter so they don't *freeze*to*death*. It was one of my campaign issues, but as I mentioned before, I finished dead last - 71 votes behind some guy who had felony convictions. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/4be438df.1040...@verizon.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
