This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Don't get me started on this... by wildesilas
St. Joseph county has to be one of the most inept counties in the United States of America. I suppose Cook County, IL is more corrupt, but certainly not more inept. There are still huge piles of leaves on the streets in Granger and they will likely stay there until spring. Maybe it is still like that all over the county. I can usually count on a snow plow to arrive on my street about 2-3 days after a significant snowfall. It is not uncommon to have cars stuck on our street for multiple days. I don't know the exact % of taxes paid to the county by the people living within 1 square mile of my house...but I am willing to bet it is a significant portion. For that we basically get no county services. Granger should have incorporated long ago...but it is too late now.
