“Just once in my life can I work in a place where morale isn’t in the crapper? Is that too much to ask?”

“Not that Obama administration’s decision to fund the solar company Solyndra, which went bankrupt after being given half a billion taxpayer dollars, was received as a wake-up call. The Department of Energy has just approved a loan of more than $700 million for a company called SolarReserve in which House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s brother, Ronald Pelosi, has ties to. Part of possible mismanagement or abuse of power in the government’s funding of the solar industry.”

“Special kudos to the employees of Gilbert’s SAI Technology for donating a truckload of school supplies that were distributed to six campuses in the Gilbert Unified School District (Tech firm donates school supplies, Oct 19, 2011). The ‘Tools for Schools’ program is their program and is a shining example of America at its best. It sends a wonderful and powerful message, there is indeed hope for all of us.”

“I have a distinct impression the Mormon PR/Info campaign is starting to backfire on the church. As made evident by recent Vents and editorials, the TV time spots have opened the door to the populace to express their thoughts and feelings with out being ‘politically correct’ in regards to Mormon teachings. I don’t think folks are buying it.”

“I am a Methodist and proud of it! Enough of the Mormon commercials, why is it they are broadcast no where but Arizona? I have checked with family and friends who live in other states and they have never seen these commercials. Funny it is now that you would like everyone to believe that you accept everyone into your church when it certainly wasn’t like that in the past. Put up a billboard and be done with it.”

    Second Venter: ....."$700 million for a company called SolarReserve in which House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s brother, Ronald Pelosi, has ties to."

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Ronald Pelosi is Paul Pelosi’s brother – or Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law. Ronald Pelosi is number two man on the organizational chart of the company that has invested in SolarReserve and the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project.

    And before anyone immediately begins refuting the nepotism data about this $737 million for SolarReserve, please keep in mind that it was released by the Department of Energy. SolarReserve also has connections to people who were involved in the now infamous solar company Solyndra. And Congressional lawmakers have launched an investigation into the Obama administration's decision to fund Solyndra.

    Venter #4 and #5, Now that Mormon religion policy has enter the political arena, i.e. Sen Pearce recall, are Mesa voters going to elect Mr Lewis who is following the Mormon immigration policy that ALL people are gods people and must be taken care of regardless of public law. When we elect officials that defer to their religion instead of public law, what kind of slippery slope are we following?

    I don't understand why morale is bad in the workplace. These people have jobs. I've worked as a temporary employee where permanent employees were allowed to talk on their cell phones, check for text messages, bring in their own laptops to surf the net, and even take one hour naps on company time. And then they claim they don't take breaks! Meanwhile these low lifes have job security and a person like me that has a positive work ethic is scrambling for meager low-paying temp work. I would think these employees would feel insecure that a temporary might take their job, but apparently not since we are doing their jobs for them so they can goof off.[rolleyes]

    I'm not sure what venter 1 is referring to either. I was thinking he was talking about low moral because of possible or pending layoffs. That was the situation I was in at my previous employer before layoffs occurred. But now, I don't have to worry about it anymore now, because odumbos defense cuts cost me my job. I have also heard that the moral is still REALLY low because of a good possibility of more layoffs.
