Sungold: I was doing a girlie thing yesterday, getting a mani/pedi and the room was full of very nice ladies, all of us over 45, from my observation. The subject when I arrived was hot about this young man. The general concensus he is a jerk for doing what he did in a stadium. Like Ken said there are ot

ProducerBadBob: Morning OG, try a relog

22Dollars: many reasons not to vote for D...

22Dollars: totally agree.. didn't like it after they paved

onion_grower: There is no reason Redding is in the power production business, any more than guitar manufacturing. The natural gas employees would still live in Palo Cedro or some of the good neighborhoods in Redding. The futures traders would have to find other work. The unfunded pensions from the power produc

22Dollars: we used to have flat track bikes and mud when it rained for the cars and old trucks..

onion_grower: The unfunded pen;sions from the REU power production business are a big negative for investing in Redding.

onion_grower: The only reason we have the power production part of REU is it used to have low cost power from Shasta Dam. That no longer applies. Redding can keep the power distibution and sales business without the losses in the power production business.

22Dollars: we have our annual paintball wars out there....so we got that...lol

onion_grower: Stillwater would work if Shasta county were to be annexed to the State of Nevada. No way anyone would invest here in California.

22Dollars: council isn't the big headwind...its our city managers

22Dollars: you could bring a dozen in ....there are many and most are friends

22Dollars: Ken was talking about the fair that was held just after the civil war ended...he used to attend and showed/sold his pig there

22Dollars: t-rex and many others

22Dollars: "bad experience buying a sheep" there were too many jokes for this...

22Dollars: factor every benefit and they are in the top25 in the country...but significant part is unfunded pensions

22Dollars: then they should go apply for one of those jobs... but there aren't many openings

22Dollars: but that is the model.... more transitions but smaller budget....no model is wrong...just different

22Dollars: we are going to begin wondering if you and Ken start talking about your 'sleep number' settings

22Dollars: this group wrote 10 checks per year....and all contributions came from the city and paid out in checks...it takes most of us less than an hour to balance our checkbooks each month after bills etc... but these idiots, armed with a financial division already on staff and payroll... did they use them ?

22Dollars: NO... they hired one of their friends and agreed to pay them thousands to attempt to find something that didn't exist....they should have to come out of their personal pockets for this expense

22Dollars: which is what VIVA was after...

RangerRick: What I am saying is that the issue of Accountability is different in Shasta County. I saw the same in Compton.

RangerRick: And!!! Lack of Leadership

22Dollars: needs to be a good housekeeping seal for shasta county

Sungold: 22 Dollars.....it is called advertising for the company which sells the Sleep Number bed. Turn the sound down if you do not want to hear it.

22Dollars: we need to make the necessary adjustments to begin ELECTING a mayor instead of these idiots alternating from one idiot to the next

SYSTEM: Please welcome ShastaSam who just joined the chat.

22Dollars: SUN, what is advertising ?

RangerRick: I am not voting for the Tax increase. I dont trust them to spend the money correctly

22Dollars: it doesn't look like they are going to pass it this year...too many things to vote against when it comes to this issue

ShastaSam: The main problem with the covered downtown mall was that it was staffed by the City of Redding and when that person went home at 5pm every day, they locked the doors. Only businesses with a door that opened to the outside could stay open. The city wanted it dead and it killed the businesses that w

RangerRick: Cuba. May the 82nd Airborne and Rangers be present for the Library event. I guess come in uniform

Sungold: Advertising is what Carl is doing when he talks up the local businesses he does business with.
