"I am honored to be recognized as an advocate for tax relief. I believe that our legislature needs to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse of public funds rather than continue to tax our hard working families at one of the highest rates in the country." Rich Eustis

Goodbye Sandy, hello Halloween!
Here's hoping the last of Hurricane Sandy allows the children (big and small) to get around their neighborhoods this evening safely and dry.
Here's to those without power, that the power will be restored quickly.

Cantoreggi said that around $10,000 was needed to hire a contracting company to help clear trees over the course of two days.
