It's time for Murtha to pack it in
Rep. John Murtha finds himself in a statistical tie in his re-election bid as Western Pennsylvanians take issue with being called "racist" by their congressman.
“A staunch conservative, a true American patriot, and he (Bill Russell) deserves your support. If there were ever a time for the grass-roots to come together and help an underdog Republican candidate make a difference, this is it.”
– Syndicated Columnist Michelle Malkin on Bill Russell.

Southington Deserves Better
Here's a few of the votes the current member of Assembly District 81 made in the past two years alone!
Make no mistake, everyone says he's a "good guy" because in fact he is!
However, lest he find himself on the outs with his own party (which is not the Democratic Party of 20 years ago) and wind up in a primary and challenged from within as his colleague in Wolcott (80th district) did this year; he has to go along with a load of bad legislation.
The problem is - we're the ones paying for it.

AN ACT CONCERNING THE TIP CREDIT

The tip credit allows hotels and restaurants to pay service employees and bartenders, who customarily and regularly receive tips, less than minimum wage as long as tips make up the difference. Under the act, a hotel or restaurant can pay (1) a bartender 11% less than minimum wage and (2) a waiter or waitress 31% less than minimum wage.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2008
Be a sport.
Step up or don't go out.
Coffee at a lunch counter (under $5) tip 50 - 60 %
Otherwise 25 - 30% or more if you don't drink as that drags your check average down.
