By Leigh Anne Hubbs Gloucester City News The Mount Ephraim Board of Education (BOE) voted to reinstate full day kindergarten beginning in September 2012 during its recent meeting. The School District has not had a full-day kindergarten program since the 2009-10 school year. Superintendent Joseph Rafferty said the full day kindergarten improves students’ readiness for the primary grades. Another positive is not only will it attract “school choice” families, but will also help to retain in-district families who are seeking a full-day program for their children, he said. Although the change back to full day will require a second kindergarten...

In commentary on the National Review Online, Marc Siegel outlines the costly Medicaid burden that ObamaCare imposes on states. "In fact, some argue that the mandated Medicaid spending is unconstitutional: In the forthcoming Supreme Court case that is best known for addressing the individual mandate, 26 states are also protesting the law’s Medicaid expansion, arguing that it will coerce them into assuming unworkable financial burdens. Is it any wonder that states are already responding to ObamaCare’s 'maintenance of effort' clause and the anticipated 2014 expansion by cutting services? Of course, many of the cuts are unjust and bureaucratic and arbitrary."...

By Leigh Anne Hubbs Gloucester City News Mount Ephraim residents expressed concern over vehicles which use residential streets as a cut-through to avoid traffic on the Black Horse Pike during the recent Board of Commissioners meeting. A resident of West Buckingham Avenue said speeding is especially bad during the morning and evening rush hour, and that many people are worried about the potential of injury to pedestrians. Police Chief Edward Dobleman said that he had recently run radar at the intersection of James and Center and found that if drivers even suspect a police presence they tend to slow down....

November 28, 2011 Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the upcoming showdown between the Obama administration's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Catholic Church: On December 1, the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform will hold a hearing titled, "HHS and the Catholic Church: Examining the Politicization of Grants." At issue is the decision by the Obama administration to deny a grant that the Catholic Church routinely receives providing for relief to the victims of human trafficking; the ruling was made despite an independent review board's finding that gave high scores to the Church's program....

The man who was complicit in bringing the American economy to its knees in 2008 won’t go down as, well, the man who was complicit in bringing the American economy to its knees. Not if the “mainstream” media has anything to do with it, that is. After his announcement that he won’t seek reelection, the Washington Post heralded the disheveled congressman Barney Frank as leaving a “legacy that crosses from legislative cornerstones to political confrontations to a historic place as the nation’s most prominent gay lawmaker.” Image by World Economic Forum via Flickr The paper continued: “On the left, Frank...

This E-mail has been floating around the internet recently. The first time it saw the light was in 2006. It contains some interesting information. What are your thoughts on this topic? E-mail submitted by GFC Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500.

November 28, 2011 Catholic League president Bill Donohue responds to a New York Times op-ed page advertisement placed today by Catholics for Choice: "Choice" has no normative value absent an object, but even then it may carry no moral weight. Choosing chocolate over vanilla is a choice without moral consequence. But choosing to abort one's baby clearly has consequences, both for the woman and her child: for the woman, they are traumatic; for the baby, they are deadly. No Catholic can support such a choice. Indeed, in this instance, the very name "Catholics for Choice" is an oxymoron. Ironically, the...

Statement of Paul Alan Levy, Attorney, Public Citizen An Orthodox rabbi ousted from his congregation because of allegations of sexual abuse posted anonymously online has not met the test for unmasking his critics, the Supreme Court of New York for Rockland County ruled this week. Justice Victor J. Alfieri, Jr. was correct in deciding that revealing the identity of several bloggers who criticized Rabbi Mordechai Tendler was not warranted and that disclosing their identities would “open the floodgates and set a precedent” that would allow anonymous Internet speakers to be identified for spurious reasons. Too often, anonymous critics are bullied...

America loses its poster boy for term limits. by John Hayward 11/28/2011 After sixteen terms in the House, Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) has announced he won’t run for re-election. The Boston Globe says redistricting had a lot to do with his decision: A top adviser told the Globe that the new district in which Frank would have had to run next year was a major factor in his decision. While it retained his Newton stronghold, it was revised to encompass more conservative towns like Walpole while losing New Bedford, a blue-collar city where the Democrat had invested a lot of...

Two stories last night represented the absolute gulf between those in power and the rest of society. First, Bloomberg News wrote about the trillions (yes, trillions) of dollars that the Federal Reserve secretly loaned out to bail out banks and bankers. These banks then made billions of dollars in profit from loans that were nearly interest free. Then, CBS's 60 Minutes aired a feature on homeless children living in Central Florida. Some lived in the back of a truck while others lived in cars that their parents had to park outside of hospital emergency rooms. The children who were profiled...

Legislation to Rein in Abuse Is Moving Rapidly Through Both the House and Senate WASHINGTON, D.C. – Seven reform groups sent letters today urging members of both the House of Representatives and Senate to join in the legislative drive to pass the “Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge” (STOCK) Act. The measures – one in the House sponsored by Reps. Timothy Walz (D-Minn.) and Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) and two similar versions in the Senate by Sens. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) – would prohibit members of Congress and their staffs from using information gleaned in the course of their...

By ROB ANDREWS | For the Star Ledger Haddon Heights, NJ - America will never be able to fully solve its job crisis until we get our debt and deficit under control. But, without deadlines, things have a tendency not to happen. This is especially true in government unfortunately. However, both parties came together and recognized that getting our fiscal house in order is such an urgent problem that there comes a time when talk needs to stop and action needs to be taken. That’s why when Congress passed the debt-ceiling deal in August we set a date certain that...

by Lois Beckett ProPublica, Nov. 23, 2011, 12:43 p.m Congress’ approval rating is abysmal, and the failure of the congressional “super committee” to find a compromise on reducing the national debt has set off a new round of recriminations. Image by DonkeyHotey via Flickr One senator on the super committee, Democrat Max Baucus (caricature) of Montana, told The Washington Post, “We’re at a time in American history where everybody's afraid — afraid of losing their job — to move toward the center. A deadline is insufficient. You’ve got to have people who are willing to move.” Decrying partisanship is almost...

TRANSCRIPT Governor Chris Christie: On sick leave reform – now, I don’t know if we’re going to be able to come to a philosophical agreement on this – I have to tell you, I cannot begin to understand why not. The legislature sent me a bill that said we should cap all future sick leave payouts – cash payouts – at $15,000 initially. I still don’t understand where that number comes from and I don’t know why it has any significance. And I don’t know why anyone is entitled to $15,000 for the privilege of not getting sick. Then the...

Philadelphia, November 25, 2011- The following are Mayor Nutter’s remarks regarding Occupy Philadelphia. Please check against delivery: For the last 51 days, people from the Philadelphia region and beyond have demonstrated their strongly held views at Dilworth Plaza and on the streets of our city. Without doubt, Occupy Philadelphia has created a handful of fiscal and operational challenges for the City of Philadelphia. Free speech in a vibrant city is a real issue and at times a real challenge. But from the start, I directed this government to look for ways to accommodate Occupy Philadelphia’s desire to exercise its First...

Waiting on Godot Volume XVI No. 47: November 23, 2011 As proud as Congress is of their almighty power of the purse, they've spent the year waiting for something to happen, some mythical shoe to drop, or someone else to solve our problems. Meanwhile, taxpayers are left waiting for something that never arrives: a Congress that is serious about getting our budgetary house in order. It's worth remembering the year that led up to the Superfail by the Super Committee earlier this week. Late last year we saw a clear and persuasive proposal of the National Commission on Fiscal Reform,...

press release Gloucester County’s last fatal motor vehicle crash in 2011 was Sept. 17, and law enforcement officials want to see that continue through the joyous but dangerous time between Thanksgiving and the new year, weeks that typically claim 2,000 lives on the nation’s roads.

Dalton. “Traffic in many places will be heavy and distractions can be many. Do...

Finger-pointing is in full swing, but the reality is that the Supercommittee’s failure to come to an agreement on spending reductions is just one chapter in a very long story–the story of the Democratic Party’s absolute refusal to come to grips with the country’s fiscal crisis. Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee have produced this helpful time line, with links to supporting documentation. The story of the Democrats’ ongoing malfeasance needs to be better understood: January 25 – In his State of the Union address, President Obama proposes freezing “annual domestic spending for the next five years.” This freeze would...

November 22, 2011 Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the rights of priests: When it comes to accusations of priestly sexual abuse, the accused is never publicly identified—he is simply listed as John Doe 101. But this isn't enough to satisfy some: they want bishops to publish the names of all accused priests, even if there has never been a conviction, and even if he is dead. Moreover, every accused serial killer and maniacal terrorist merits immediate attention from civil libertarians, and their defense is uniformly applauded in liberal circles. Why should priests be treated any different? The Boston...

WASHINGTON D.C., November 21 (CNA/EWTN News) .- Though Catholics fear their institutions’ religious freedom is at risk, pro-life Democrats are predicting that the federal government will create a broader religious exemption to federal mandates requiring contraception coverage in all new health care plans. “I would have never voted for the final version of the bill if I expected the Obama administration to force Catholic hospitals and Catholic colleges and universities to pay for contraception,” former Pennsylvania Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper said Nov. 21. “We worked hard to prevent abortion funding in health care and to include clear conscience protections for those...

This week the FDA decided to revoke approval of the cancer drug Avastin for breast cancer patients. Although some breast cancer survivors credit Avastin for saving their lives, they are a minority of patients. And, according to the FDA, statistics don't show that the drug is significantly effective for the "average patient." But you're not an "average patient." You're not a number or a percentage or a statistical average. You're a unique individual. Welcome to the danger of government-run health care: When government bodies control access to drugs and treatments, they have no choice but to reduce people to statistical...

April 8, 2009, 9:14 pm By CATHERINE RAMPELL Much has been written about President Obama’s plans to change Americans’ tax rates (changes that include raising rates for the wealthiest Americans, and cutting rates for everyone else). But there is often confusion about the fact that the rates being discussed are the marginal tax rates — that is, the rates for income above a certain level. Fortunately, the Congressional Budget Office recently released updated data on effective average federal tax rates — that is, the percentage of their entire incomes that Americans hand over to the federal government in the form...

Hadley Heath of the Independent Women's Forum outlines the negative consequences that ObamaCare has on small business owners. "First of all: time costs. Small employers simply don't have time to read over reports like this one to stay up-to-date with the Department of Health and Human Services' attempts to micromanage the health sector. Sadly, the biggest changes haven't even happened yet. In 2014, many employers will recognize that the introduction of Medicaid expansions, state-level health care exchanges, and minimum essential requirements will change the landscape of health insurance in the U.S. so drastically that they will be better off letting...

Philadelphia, November 18, 2011- Today, the Mayor’s Commission on Aging released its Strategic Plan, which will serve as an outline for the City of Philadelphia’s vision for a more engaged, better served senior population.
