I was having a conversation with my friend about casinos and gambling because there is currently a push for a casino in Lansing. I thought back to my first casino experience.

Dear TNCP,
I’m a father, retired business owner and a military veteran (Army, infantry, Viet Nam). As I reflect on this tax season, I marvel at how well the elites have convinced us that they, the upper 5%, have the absolute right to rule our country. It reminds me of the feudalism that controlled Europe for 600 years.

Before even trying to tackle a $15 to $20 million deficit based on Mayor Bernero’s worst-case scenarios, City Hall decided to use fear mongering and extortion to scare voters into passing an outrageous 26% to 31% tax hike and Headlee override as property values plummeted by an average of more than 10% this year.

Spring will be upon us soon and I cannot wait to get out of the office and enjoy myself. I have told myself that I should take better care of the property that surrounds my office and my home. This means that I will have to get my hands dirty.

Dear Readers,
This has been a very tragic period for the Greater Lansing area.
Three young people are dead. The driver survived and is now facing multiple murder charges. I watched his mother’s face on television while at the courthouse and I could only feel compassion for her. Now she will have to bear the sins of her son. A son that I am sure she told over and over again not to drink and drive. As the sole survivor, the guilt that he has to bear is going to be overwhelming.
Get It Right: Still Dreaming
By DeAndre Davis
Are we giving Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. credit for a work still in progress? I say yes. You say we have overcome, we have a black president ; Dr. King said judge a man by the content of his character not the color of his skin. This works two ways. President Barack Obama didn’t have the most votes because he was the best candidate ever, a lot of black people just voted solely on skin color.
