PHOTO INDEX: KOZ ZONE LOGO AND HAPPYGRADUATING STUDENT.
JUST BE”KOZ”
People are getting sick and tired of these KOZ zones. Scranton city council denied a few of the extensions to area businesses. These guys wanted another 10 years of tax forgiveness to develop new business and create high paying jobs. Two questions, just how much time do you need to develop a business and where are the high paying jobs? We, as taxpayers sometimes rail against the people on food stamps, welfare and other assistance as milking the system. But the KOZ zones, which started out with good intentions has turned into a welfare program for the so called entrepreneur. It’s welfare money for the rich and connected. There should be a time limit on all KOZ properties. If they can’t turn them into a viable business in the allotted time period, they forfeit it. Plain and simple. You bet they’ll start a business. Funny, Henry Ford and in Pennsylvania Milton Shapp didn’t need KOZ zones to start up a thriving business and succeed. Man up guys, lose the government crutches.
THE TIPPING POINT?
Tom Marino, tipstaff to Judge Michael Toole testified before a federal grand jury today. He made no comments after the session. This appearance is part of the ongoing probe into corruption at the Luzerne County Courthouse.
GIVING CREDIT
Using the old adage giving credit where credit is due the State Senate Education Committee approved legislation to further ease the transferring of college credits across community colleges, state universities and the state-related schools: Penn State, Pitt, and Temple universities. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Andrew Dinniman, a Democrat from Chester, is aimed at saving students who transfer to a public-funded school the expense of having to retake courses. The proposal would require the 14 state universities to accept 60 credits that a transferring student earned in foundation courses earned at community colleges, and admit them as college juniors. Currently, the law requires those universities to accept 30 transferred credits.

Dont lie to the FEDS
Some War Profiteers cant make enough money off dead and wounded Americans! Dickless Cheney gets a million dollar book deal. What a shocker. Hes going to get paid for revisonist history via his own demented memories. Thanks for your service, Dickless. Wasnt the Haliburton money enough? Of course not!No more power, but plenty of greed still from the worst VP in history. This jerk should be in jail for war crimes, instead he gets richer and more arrogant if thats possible.
remember when henry ford and rockefller and carnegie and some of the big old captains of industry started there was no income tax. they didn't have to give up 1/3 of their earnings...
your buddy steve corbett is a 3rd class ********(edited) . read his blog today about omaba and smokig... jesus crhist can't this ******** (edited) ever give credit when it is do?
i am taking others advise and turning off corbett. will not listen or read anymore... the guy is as negative as they come... if he is so ****ing perfect why doesn't he grow a set and run for office? because he is too much of a naysayer to ever get anything done. he has turned local talk radio into a black hole
IN RESPONSE
i am taking others advise and turning off corbett. will not listen or read anymore... the guy is as negative as they come...
I PREFER TO CALL HIM "REALISTIC".
I prefer to call him a chronic bitcher.
Mericle koz king spelled rico
i prefer to call corbett a fear and hate monger... he plays upon the weakest in society to boost his ratings... if were the tough guy he portends he would actually run for office where he can in fact make a change. talking about a subject for 3 or 4 days and moving on will not change it.... brenda williams already, in the rear view mirror.... the smoking ban with no exceptions in the state.. rear view mirror...
kevin lynn is correct about corbett. he is no longer a journalist and he nothing more than a guy with an opinion who is lucky enough to get paid. he makes no impact on society. he makes no changes for the better.
additionally i think he is awful for the area. he makes us look like a bunch of cry babies who can't take care of ourselves.
f corbett... go back to the "central coast"
IN RESPONSE
he plays upon the weakest in society to boost his ratings...
OH YOU MEAN DISGRACED JUDGES WHO STOLE MILLIONS AND OWN REAL ESTATE IN FLORIDA.....COUNTY ROW OFFICERS WHO MAKE $36,000 GRAND A YEAR AND HAVE OTHER JOBS OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE......COUNTY EMPLOYEES WHO DON'T TAKE VACATION TIME BUT THEN WALK AWAY WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN MONEY WHEN THEY RETIRE BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY HAVE IT COMING TO THEM? YOU MEAN THOSE PEOPLE?
agree with all you said yonk. but nothing will change... and corbett only cares as long as he ups his ratings and gets his bonus. i agee with others, his impact is temporary at best, it can't be anything more the show is current events... i also agree that if he really cared he would run for office.... but that would take genunine courage and selflessness and it is pretty obvious steve corbett is anything but selfless.
no i did not mean those people i meant the listeners.. he plays upon their fears... he doesn't care about them.. but at least he is not like kevin lynn, in so many of the elected officals back pocket
