Why should a public utility company not be allowed to function like a business instead of a charity? Those people have mouths to feed too. OR they could go the way of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That didn't work out for anybody. We all have choices how we allocate our resources.

<quoted text> In defense of my family and allocations of my resources, The pioneer press did not tell the whole story as I am the man pictured with my daughter Abby on the front page. I have worked all my life and in Dec. 2006 I was permanently injured in a work accident that required surgery. At the time of my injury, I grossed over 50K a year. After surgery and rehab, I went back to work at my regular duties. A MRI showed more damage and I was given a 20LB permanent weight restriction and my hours were cut down to 20 hours a week. This was a strategy to get me to quit so they could get off the hook for their Work Comp. Premiums. I worked with reduced hours until they had justification to lay me off saying the had no light duty work for me. The truth is,
they cut my hours and gave the work to another employee prior to my layoff. After my layoff, They posted my job duties on Monster jobs. How about this story get posted in the paper? I would like to be interviewed about this situation.I am not a advocate of corporate welfare either, but how about corporate responsibility?

<quoted text> Joe Blo is misinformed. I know the man. He's waiting for retraining benefits from work comp. He's never received a settlement. No matter what anybody says about him, he don't care. He's a strong man! His kids are great and never hungry! Why do they call you Joe Blow? Oops!!! Dumb question.
