Someone is Pissed Off at Congress again

Okay,

My Distinguished Congressman Lee Terry, Jr. NE-02 introduced House Resolution 4548 on 12/14/05. The Public Trust and Accountability Act. As of 1/18/2006 there has been no action on this bill.

Let’s review the text of this bill:

To amend title 5, United States Code, to deny Federal retirement benefits to individuals convicted of certain offenses, and for other purposes.

Apparently Congressman Lee Terry and his 23 Cosponsors thought this bill was important enough to introduce it to the 109th congress. I thought it was important enough to thank Congressman Terry, and notify my associates of this bill. I see no reason why this bill is stalled. It is a clear and concise bill that is justified. Officials who commit crimes should not receive any retirement benefits. Please pass this bill with all expedient action.

Thank You,

EDITED It has been stuck in the House Committee on Government Reform since 12/14/05. No need to make sure they don’t get their benefits.

Please don’t call the cops on me :-)

Restaurants Robbed
01-18-2006 3:30 PM

(Omaha, NE) — A pair of Taco Bell restaurants were robbed about 45 minutes apart last night. Omaha Police first received a call of a robbery at the restaurant on 108th Street near Maple around 10:30. An employee was approached by the suspect who demanded money. After getting the cash, the man fled on foot. Shortly after 11:00 police were called to South 84th Street near Center and discovered a nearly identical robbery had taken place. The suspect description in both robberies was similar. He was described as a black male in his 20’s, approximately six-feet tall, and wearing dark clothing and a dark mask.
