DOWN TIME

Happy New Year banner 

Dear L.A.W. Readers,

Bill and I have been away for awhile due to outside business obligations.  We continue to research, read, network and monitor local events as always, but  you may notice our written articles and comments have slowed in recent months.

We hope to post anew in the coming year as time permits. Check in when you can and we hope to have more to share at a later date.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Regards,

Bridget Dupont-Tingley,

Editor

God Bless you both.
Best,

The Editor - L.A.W.

Hi Kim,

We had plenty going on late in the year so, no get togethers were planned in Dec. Sorry about that. Hopefully, things will be more calm this year and we can see you again!

Hope that you, Jim and Colton are doing great. Enjoy the warmth and sunshine coming with spring and summer - they are almost here.

We'll write on LAW when we can - little time right now.

Take Care and Many Blessings From Above To All of You Too.

Bridget & Bill

With such a lengthy sabbatical here, I've taken to checking the LAW site once every couple of months (or when memory just randomly prompts me to take a look). Indeed, it's been a good long stretch of inactivity. But while a length of time like this might prompt one to think that maybe the site just isn't going to come back to life, the mere fact that it is still here at all (when it could just as easily been taken down) leads me to think that maybe, just maybe, there's a chance we'll wake up one of these mornings (or evenings) to see a brand new post. Hey ... keep hope alive!

So much of what I read at this site I disagreed with -- sometimes profoundly, other times just barely -- but I enjoyed the subjects, the manner in which they were presented, the comments that others included, and, of course, some of the discussions that came about as a result.

I sure hope you're comin' back soon.

Bridget Dupont-Tingley, Editor L.A.W.

Hello Brandon,

We have spent some time away from L.A.W. in the past year and a half due to outside issues.

Although L.A.W. was a real passion for us for many, many years (over seven now) our personal and business situations have had to take front stage again.

We hope to come back and write articles and respond to enjoyable readers and comments like yours in the future, but no promises there.

We thank you for your interest and wish you the best.

Regards,

Bridget

L.A.W. Highlights

  • Yeah, and Summer is Hotter Than Winter
    The Grand Rapids Press ignores science to promote feel-good politics on the environment and becomes the watchdog that doesn't bark.
  • When Will It Stop?
    Enough of the repulsive tactic of accusing everyone of bigotry who doesn't kowtow to the racemongers.
  • Thirty-Six Bucks
    Balancing the City budget: Maybe it's time for those making a living on the taxpayer's dime to give up a little instead of sticking it to the taxpayer one more time.
  • The Problem With Teachers
    Why teachers are the professionals least suited to run a school district -- or even a school.
  • The Pig in the Python
    The dirty little secret behind the success and failure of every school reform that the education establishment, the public school bureaucrats, and the teachers unions will never reveal.
  • The Fool's Gold of a College Education
    Most kids who get a college degree today have nothing but an expensive credential that lands them a job that any high school graduate could have gotten a generation ago -- WITHOUT the heavy burden of paying back a student loan.
  • The Fixer
    A four-part series about the local attorney behind the demise of Autodie, Butterworth Hospital, Amway, and Old Kent. Warning: Strong accusations of corruption, greed, and skullduggery. Not for the feint of heart.
  • Poison
    The nasty nature of the 26,000 tons of poison that The Boardwalk's developers dug up and then dumped upon the rest of us.
  • No Honor Among Thieves: The Demise of Quixtar
    The re-branding of Amway as Quixtar put lipstick on the pig, but none of the crappy way of doing business changed. Now comes public scrutiny around the world to control its kingpins and clean up the dirty "tools" business.
  • Lost Cause
    A story of how River City lost its way to a secure economic future.
  • Living Wage Kills Jobs
    City pols support a Marxist policy that, like all Marxist policies, hurt the very people they say it will help.
  • El Dorado, Big Rock Candy Mountain, and the Grand Rapids Public School District
    Those of us not in straitjackets are fairly certain that lands of fabulous wealth free for the taking do not exist. No El Dorado, no Big Rock Candy Mountain, no Shangri-la, and no GRPS with money growing on trees.
  • Defenders Who Do Not Defend
    Excessive plea-bargaining, lack of preparation, shoddy to non-existent representation, conflicts of interests are rife among lawyers taking public defender cases on the taxpayer dime.
