let me get this straight, Stevie wants to demolish what I am certain are historic Nebraska buildings in order to attract new business. Gee, what a great ****in' idea!

Me thinks he's already in the right place for his talents.

Has anyone ever, ever, sold their home and relocated, just to be closer to a high school girls basketball team, with no children and no connection to the team other than being a fan?

That's both creepy and crazy.

But it's no crazier than travelling all over the country to buy autographs from obscure bit players in forgotten TV shows of the 1960s and 70s.

Or having tens of thousands of posts on a lunatic-fringe marxist website.

Or professing one's lifelong devotion to socialism while starting a political campaign in one of the most conservative states in America.

Either Steve Dawes is a moron, or Bellevue Ward 1 is a tiny enclave of Stalinists in an otherwise bright red state.

The Ward 1 incumbent is a Republican, so ......

Not Democratic or whatever they want to call themselves? That has got to have started a few rounds of apoplectic seizures.

Yes it is.  I could have sworn I read he was promoted OUT of the Omaha Parks Department and had to move but I could be wrong. 

Maybe he threw in the basketball stuff to make himself look good.  Like referring to himself in the 3rd person on DU.

The Weeper moved from the glorious diversity of Omaha to almost lily-white Bellevue.

Thousands of people have made similar moves.

Girls' basketball is a powerful draw.

Good point; needs to be stressed more.

By the way, it appears the big guy's suffered an on-the-job "injury" since early 2008.

He's been with the waterworks for circa five years.

He's been "injured" nearly all the time of his employment there?

I believe that is called or used to called anyway, malingering.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William M. Tweed

Member of the U.S. House of Representatives
 from New York's 5th district
In office
 March 4, 1853 – March 3, 1855

Political party
Democratic

Profession
Politician

William Magear Tweed (April 3, 1823 – April 12, 1878) – often erroneously referred to as William Marcy Tweed (see below),[1] and widely known as "Boss" Tweed – was an American politician most notable for being the "boss" of Tammany Hall, the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in the politics of 19th century New York City and State. At the height of his influence, Tweed was the third-largest landowner in New York City, a director of the Erie Railroad, the Tenth National Bank, and the New-York Printing Company, as well as proprietor of the Metropolitan Hotel.[2]
 
Tweed was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1852, and the New York County Board of Supervisors in 1858, the year he became the "Grand Sachem" of Tammany Hall. He was also elected to the New York State Senate in 1867, but Tweed's greatest influence came from being an appointed member of a number of boards and commissions, his control over political patronage in New York City through Tammany, and his ability to ensure the loyalty of voters through jobs he could create and dispense on city-related projects.
 
Tweed was convicted for stealing an amount estimated by an aldermen's committee in 1877 at between $25 million and $45 million from New York City taxpayers through political corruption, although later estimates ranged as high as $200 million.[3] Based on the inflation or devaluation rate of the dollar since 1870 of 2.7%, $25-$200 million is between $1 and $8 billion 2010 dollars. He died in the Ludlow Street Jail.

What am I missin' Coach? I don't see Tweed mentioned??????

edited to add

Ah, I see he's the photo at the top of the article. Sorry I'm so dense Bubba. Ya think Stevie is in that category?

I figured he was one of those guys ya wanted to keep yer kids away from. I mean, followin' a girls basketball team around, when ya don't have any affiliation, that's "kinky".

I would like to see data on public union employees retirement situations.

Among the few I know, maybe a dozen more or less, at least half retired early on disability.

One of the major benefits of belonging to a public employees union is that they employ shady physicians and lawyers to certify and fight for disability pensions.

All unions, public and private, do that, but in the public sector they're a lot more aggressive and successful because democrats wrote and signed their contracts.

Damn!! Where do I find one of these criminals? My back is in worse shape than prolly 80% of these assholes on disability! Amazing if yer not "connected", how difficult it is!

What i want is to be employed by the powers that be, to run around and video tape these "disabled leaches"!

Ya wanna know how much corruption I could expose? Hell, if we could decrease the fraud, I think it's impossible to eliminate it, might be a little easier to give the aid to those that actually deserve it!

Ever watch those "Gotcha" videos on the tube once in a while? Everyone I've seen has some asshole walkin' in all crippled up to his Doc. After he's done, ya see him comin' out and pushin' his car to start it, or somethin' in that order. The Mofo is milkin' the system, and him and his partner in crime, the Doc, know it!

I could make the state/feds, a damn fortune!

What? Since when have the Police and or anyone else called for new facilities to work out of? If I'm not mistaken the city of Omaha not long ago just built a new training facility that was open to any area law enforcement agency. The cost alone for building a new and relocated building for the police and city hall isn't justified because the current building fits their needs. Typical DUmbass Spending money when there isn't a need. The people of bellevue are not asking for it neither is the city.

I'd like to know just what this so called "Magnet attraction" Is that he's talking about.  The location of the City Hall/Police station isn't big enough for a GAs Station and it sits across from a school where kids are going to and from there during the chool year. Why put another gas station in the area when there already is one just up the street? I would think the potential increase in traffic would be  a problem with kids younger then high school going to and from home plus the need for the school buses to have access to the school. THis is one idea that should sink faster then the Titanic.

Well, they've never learned to think things all the way through, including ramifications and unintended consequences.  That's why you can't trust a single democrat in elected office. 

I have no idea what that "magnet attraction" is he's thinking about.  Could be anything.  A girls basketball court?

Is Omaha Steve going to be Will Pitts newest BFF since the last one got locked up for kiddie porn?  Does Steve Dawes from Bellevue take pictures of the girls while playing?

I certainly wouldn't be surprised. I don't know anyone else who follows "girls" basketball like he does without havin' a relative involved.

Somebody wanna 'splain that to me?

Sounds kinky to me!
