Oil Field Math

I received this story a few days ago and thought today would be a good day to share it especially because the President's State of the Union address will be on this evening.  With all that I am sure he will promise to the American people to fix our bad economy and right "our ship!" I think this story will give all of us a reason to pause and reflect....Its entitled "Oil Field Math" > > > Working in the oilfield with others such as myself and a > wealth of combined experience > we understand the accuracy of the following. > > > Think of it ...

$600,000…ANY “VOLUNTEERS?”

I read with interest the article on the CCA 's current financial dilemma.  Let me start by saying I wish they had a "surplus" instead because that would mean the project was a success but the outcome is not surprising.  The city was presented with the plan for the boat over 10 years ago.  Originally Anna Koval came to the LaSalle City Council to ask for our official support on the project.  This was necessary in order  for her to pursue funding for the project.  The city was not asked to supply any financial aid at that time.  As we ...

I must mention also that Mayor Jeff made a good MC!  He enjoys the Christmas Holiday and ...
