Am i the only one that has philosophical problems with this statement (from this AP story):
“What we’re talking about is a one-half percent income tax surcharge on incomes above $1 million,” said Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., a leader of the Blue Dog group. “So someone who earns $2 million a year would pay $5,000. … They’re not going to miss it.”
Italics mine. Its one thing to levy a tax but its quite another to use as part of the justification that they aren’t going to miss the money.
This really torks torques (thanks Louis 
) me.

Cool .. local veggies:
The Plainfield Chamber of Commerce has been awarded advertising money to promote farmers’ markets at Metropolis and Plainfield Town Center for 2008 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The markets will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Fridays, beginning today, at Metropolis, 2490 Futura Park Way, and from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays, beginning July 2, at the Chamber office, 210 W. Main St., Plainfield.
Vendors are being accepted for fresh fruits and vegetables at both markets on a first-come, first-served basis.
