Although lawmakers are trying to attract businesses to the state, the financial uncertainty and deficits Kansas will grapple with will undermine such efforts, he says. Kansas Governor Sam Brownback (R) and the GOP-controlled legislature are struggling to accomplish two goals: They want to repeal the state income tax but need to balance a budget that, despite substantial spending cuts, faces a 0 million shortfall…http://www.twitpic.com/cxsibq

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Check Out the First Interior Renderings of 432 Park Avenue http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2013/06/03/check_out_the_first_interior_renderings_of_432_park_avenue.php The first exterior renderings for 432 Park Avenue showed the Rafael Vinoly-designed superscraper towering over its Midtown neighbors. No surprise there—the boxy structure will be the western hemisphere's tallest residential building when it's finished. And the first interior renderings take full advantage of those views. BuzzBuzzHome has a glimpse at two of those renderings; we dug up a third, which may be found below. (Floorplans, for reference, may be reviewed here.) As of March, prices on available units ranged from .25 million to million; a penthouse is already in contract for million. Anyone seen more recent pricing/availability data? Let us know. Behold!

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Controversial Plaza 'Attic' Back on the Market for Million http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2013/06/07/controversial_plaza_attic_back_on_the_market_for_59_million.php The lawsuit over the Plaza penthouse once purchased by Andrei Vavilov might be a little ridiculous—he sued on the grounds that the developers hadn't given him the “light and airy expanse” they promised, but had instead given him something more like an attic—all signs point to the fact that buyers haven't exactly been thrilled with this particular property. The latest sign: the penthouse is back on the market as of yesterday, this time asking million. Avid Plaza fans might recall that the apartment sold last spring for a little more than million (after a long wait and some PriceChoppage), so why the extravagant flip attempt?According to the brokerbabble, this time the apartment is sold furnished—and they aren't just any furnishings. “The Penthouse is being delivered with custom furnishings personally selected by world renowned…http://www.twitpic.com/cx1jhz

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty US Uncut on Facebook According to a spokesman for Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, the city relies on the Federal OSHA agency to inspect ongoing demolition sites, but OSHA has only 11 inspectors tasked with inspecting every job site in the entire Philadelphia area, which has a population of over 6 million. This shocking revelation recalls shades of April’s tragic fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, which killed 14 and flattened scores of homes. In the wake of that tragedy, it was reported that OSHA had not inspected the plant in over 33 years. http://www.progressivepress.net/in-philadelphia-unregulated-capitalism-claims-6-more-lives/ ~EDShttp://www.twitpic.com/cwqqz4

Bodies shot with 1, 10, 50 and 100 bullets. Police brutality is not only constant in the United States, it is thriving and escalating. The U.S. has the largest prison population in the world. Over 7 million people are incarcerated, on probation or on parole. And oppressed communities of color bear the brunt of the racist system. Police brutality, the U.S. criminal “justice” system—the prisons, the jails and the courts—are integral parts of the capitalist state.

For more information we invite you to read the press release ( follow this link to Scribd ) and visit the blog platform “Together We Can” . To spread this call: – Event on Facebook (you can invite your contacts) www.facebook.com/events/468341879913326 – Video “# 1J YOU fuck Troika” (for 15Mbcn.tv ): www.youtube .com / watch? o6AhlPoTwYM v = Then the manifesto “We will not pay your debt! That the troika fuck! ” (The can print / share this following link to Scribd ) 41,640 people evicted, fired 44,890, 1,648,200 unemployed, a third of the population in poverty, 200,000 domestic workers without rights, more than 2,000 migrants to ICD's, and … the list is long, very long for Catalan society. But in the coming months only hear about budget cuts, restructuring pubic administration, deficit, debt, sanitation, rescue …'re fed up! Again, the social movements, unitary platforms, neighborhood organizations, groups and unions, in short, we, all together, enough to say its cuts, its austerity and its restructuring. And we say to people who are in government and they want to adopt again, budgets cuts and injustices, we say the Spanish government, which wants to pay its debt and its multinationals, and I say to Merkel and the European Union that we are not to blame for the crisis but we are simply the victims. And that's why for months that we are working to change this situation, we do every day denouncing the injustices of CIE's, we do fighting fracking all over the Catalan region, we do denouncing abortion law reform, it we stopping evictions and releasing new spaces for people evicted – we must not forget that today the social work of PAH has already released seven buildings in the ACC, but we also do in schools and health in the case of closed budget. Today we are here to say that our lives are worth more than their profits are La Caixa, Telefonica or Agbar. I keep pulling the thread, we can not forget the 26,000 million tax fraud loved the Catalan Countries. How many hospital beds is everything closed? How many college scholarships? How many social benefits or public investment? Absolutely no money! What we lack is the political will to go find them where they are. Must destroy tax fraud, and recover inheritance tax to pay more than those who have more! And that was the budget debate: the conflict of interest between the needs of most social privileges and uncrowded. Its debt against our rights, benefits against our health, education, culture and pensions. But if you thought claudicaríem once again be wrong. Because we're fed up because we lost together because we fear! And that is why today we do not want to forget the folks of PAH, which in recent weeks have been tried and tried to defend the right to housing in Sabadell and Vic students repressed Catalan universities to defend a quality public education, people attributed to defend our rights in general and you go past all that, Patricia, have suffered police brutality in recent months. Because neither will his or her ball clubs that make us shut up. We are here to reject budgets that are antisocial advertiser and blackmail we are doing around them. We accept no cuts in education, health, social welfare cuts … are not allowed jobs, lost wages, deregulation and deteriorating working conditions … are not allowed looting companies and utilities. Do not allow poverty, inequality, or the destruction of our environment back fracking, the privatization of public space projects Eurovegas style. We do not want to be a maquila Southern Europe! There is another possible way. One way to deal with what happens: the city and the dictates of the troika, yes. But also the financial powers, to lobbyists and big rentiers our house. It is an alternative that happens not to pay its debt and its crisis. We have reasons not quite trust the willingness of the government, nor the audacity of this Parliament. There is sure who will tell you that under these conditions, there is nothing to do. Do not listen. At a certain age it is remembered that Franco died in bed, but his dictatorship died on the street. The youngest you have seen a September 11 tectonic plates that are removed from the system inherited from the transition. Even the current configuration of political forces has the imprint of the last strike. From a sustained social mobilization can change many things, generating alternatives, profoundly changed the political landscape, allowing the emergence of new subjects … This fight just begins. We will return. The 2013 budget will not be a formality or an adjustment back to the village. We will return. The first condition for any progress, however, is our unity. Together we can and together. This is not a slogan for a complete demonstration: a realization. We come to rhetoric, but to write our own history, to take charge of our destiny. Stop antisocial budget! Courage! Dignity expire! Together we will win!http://www.twitpic.com/cudvgc
