Every tax is a pay cut. Every tax cut is a pay raise.
Just because you're not interested in politics doesn't mean politics isn't interested in you.

On May 17, 2010, a quorum of 7 FPAC members violated the free speech rights of Jim and Joe Rizoli by grossly violating its own policies and procedures. The seven individuals involved were: Michael Cunningham Elsa Hornfischer James Komola Bill Rabkin Norma Shulman Joel Winett (presiding member) Francesca Cerutti-Harris (Acting Executive Director) In order to encourage members to do the right thing, FPAC's procedures is to send the violator warnings that he/she is in violation of policies and procedures. The only problem is that all the complaints against the Rizolis came in a one month period and not a single warning letter was sent to them. This shows a clear pre-meditated and malicious attempt to shut his show down and violate his free speech rights. The notion that this was done by eight members of the FPAC Board of Directors is simply astonishing. This was beyond a conspiracy.
