Indiana is slow to adopt Ethanol - 05/29/08 08:12 AM
With sky-rocketing gas prices, Indiana is slow to adopt ethanol as an alternative.  Amazing enough Indiana produces ethanol gas.  Indiana is rank 60th in production of ethanol according to an article in the Times newspaper. 
Most of the surrounding states use ethanol gas to reduce cost for state government.  Indiana is lagging behind in cutting the fat in government. 
In addition to lagging behind all other Midwest states, Indiana does not presently have a system to monitor the usage of ethanol usage for state vehicles. 
The usage of ethanol can cut up to 85 cents per gallon of gas used.  However, … (3 comments)

Indiana is looking into providing Debit Card for unemployment benefits - 05/18/08 01:44 PM
Wow, is Indiana catching up with the rest of the United States.  Indiana is looking into paying out unemployment benefits with free direct deposit and debit cards.  The state is looking to be able to accomplish this for the client through a phone call to transfer funds from their debit card account to their personal checking and/or savings accounts.   
The reason for this change is that the holder of the card only receives one free transaction using the government issued unemployment benefit.  The holder is charged $1.25 per transaction.  This charge can be expensive if you use the card for food, gas, etc.  With … (0 comments)

Recently, Rep Brown joined homeowners in their plight to determine why Lake County taxpayers received a zero check for their tax rebate.  According to an article in the Times newspaper, the Lake County auditor was following orders from the state auditor.  Lake County Auditor, Peggy Holinga Katona produced an email showing that the state auditor requested that she give Lake County's resident credit for the 9.7 million that homeowner received from the two percent circuit breaker.  In this same email it was state that Lake County's homeowners would not receive the 9.7 million but the local taxing units such as city, town, township, and … (0 comments)

How Do You Spent a Zero Check? - 05/13/08 04:27 AM
The rebate checks that many taxpayers received in Lake County Indiana was as a results of Indiana General Assembly property tax relief, but many of the check were for zero dollars.  When Lake County Auditor's office was asked why they stated that the property owners already received "their tax break as part of a separate so-called circuit breaker system."
Lake County has been according to the article in the "The Times" newspaper receiving a two percent circuit breaker credit for four years.  Meaning that the homeowners were only paying two percent of the assessed value of the property for their tax bill.

Go where the money is - 05/12/08 10:20 AM
Over the last couple of days, a business associate and I went on a trip to Fort Lauderdale, FL.  We left at the last minute at 3:30 pm to be at the first set of meeting starting at 12:00 noon on Thursday.  Needless to say, we did not make the first set of meeting.  We had problem with the vehicle we borrowed to drive to Fort Lauderdale.
We started the trip.  We check fluid levels to discover there was no antifreeze in the resevoir and at least one quart low on oil.  We filled the antifreeze's resevoir and added the quart of … (2 comments)
