Zeph Baker's residency claim at Bolton Assisted Living leaves us with with having to decide what his priorities are... will he deny an elderly person or two of a bed and assistance, or will he oust the current Live-in-assister for a bedroom of his own?

L-E headline/story: "Columbus High drops from No. 1 spot in Georgia * Columbus High School has dropped from the No. 1 spot in Georgia, according to the 2018 U.S. News & World Report’s rankings of Best High Schools. * This year’s rankings put Columbus High at No. 3 in the state, trailing No. 1 Gwinnett County School of Mathematics, Science and Technology and No. 2 DeKalb School of the Arts. * Nationally, GCSMST is No. 31, DeKalb School of the Arts is No. 75, and Columbus High is No. 105. * Columbus High had improved its ranking every year since 2013, when it was No. 5 in the state and No. 202 in the nation, then No. 4 in the state and No. 104 in the nation in 2014, then No. 3 in the state and No. 85 in the nation in 2015, then No. 2 in the state and No. 80 in the nation in 2016." -- Hmmm... So Dr. Lewis's tenure correlates the time line of Columbus High school's evolution in this story.... of course, he would have no effect on the 2014 stats, and little, of any on the 2015 and 2016 stats as the previous Superintendent's programs were the impetus in those years, so the current rankings are really the first under Lewis' direction.. and it's not the direction we need. Of course, it could be that we have 2 existing MCSB members who's attention to the MCSD needs is secondary to their own personal needs. One is working in another School System, and one has a child in a private school Oh, and the chair of the MCSB that brought Lewis to Columbus wants his job back.. Vote for improvements.. Keep Frank Myers in District 8, and Mark Cantrell in District 6,, and elect Toyia Tucker in District 2, Sheryl McCraine in District 4, and Tony McCool in District 9 At-Large.

In the same story we learn: "Early College Academy of Columbus is the only other Muscogee County high school honored by the magazine this year. It isn’t rated high enough to receive a ranking, but Early College received a bronze medal for the fifth straight year. -- Good grief.. we have only one high school that's good enough to get a ranking, and only one other that got a "participation trophy" How long can we allow our students to tread water before we make changes?

In a related online story: "For the second year in a row, the No. 1 school in the country is BASIS Scottsdale. Public high schools in the BASIS charter school network in Arizona dominated the top of the national rankings, claiming the first five spots." -- Is anyone in the MCSD or on the MCSB pushing to see what BASIS is doing? Seems to ]me that the only outside look our school administration has looked into was for Camelot.

Your vote for your school board reps are important...one thing particularly clear is that we need improvements.. and improvements will not come from reps who feel Dr Lewis is doing a job that doesn't need improvement.

Online headline/story: "Mexican woman charged with voter fraud, accused of illegally voting in 2016 election * According to the attorney general’s office, Garza is accused of voting illegally in Harris County in November 2016, as well as in elections in 2004 and 2012. * Paxton said a joint investigation with the Texas Department of Public Safety determined that Garza obtained documents to steal the identity of a U.S. citizen and illegally register to vote." -- It happens... because it can without good voter registration laws in effect and being enforced.. This is also why we need to use the Republican Primary Ballot here in Chattahoochee Valley area so we can vote for our own Josh McKoon for Secretary of State.

From the "let's punish the workers... yeah that's the ticket" department - Online headline/story: 'Seattle’s new ‘head tax’ blasted by city’s mega-corporations * A new tax approved by the Seattle City Council has triggered a fierce war of words between the liberal city and its behemoth corporations usually known for their progressive outlook.
* Starbucks and Amazon are now blasting the decision to slap a new “head tax” on businesses to pay for homeless services and affordable housing -- saying the government's own lack of efficiency is to blame for the city’s woes. * “The city does not have a revenue problem – it has a spending efficiency problem,” Drew Herdener, Amazon vice president, said in a statement. “We are highly uncertain whether the city council’s anti-business positions or its spending inefficiency will change for the better. * The Seattle City Council on Monday passed a plan to tax businesses making at least $20 million in gross revenues about $275 per full-time worker each year. That “head tax” is estimated to raise about $48 million -- which authorities are marking for housing and homeless services." -- Hmmm... looks like liberals have found a way to get the money back from the workers benefiting from the Trump Tax Cuts. Since corporation cannot physically "be taxed", Seattle's Council is going to take away workers' salaries/bonuses BEFORE their companies can put it in their pockets.. and of course, the low income workers are the ones that may end up homeless themselves after being taxed to take care of other homeless people.

Another day has passed that Zeph Baker has not turned in his donations/expenses records as required.. Of course, how can we expect them to be accurate as the Financial Disclosure Form he has filed is filled with "omissions and overstatements".. He owns other properties he failed to list, and he claims business assets that no were longer in existence when he filed.

Obama decided the center will not include his presidential papers." -- Good grief.. of course Obama will not put his "papers" in a location where researchers can expose them for what went on before and during his White House Years..
