September 16 Libraries set to closePhiladelphia libraries to close Oct. 2Pennsylvania's budget deadlock also means 3,000 city employees could get pink slips on Friday.Posted by Elizabeth Strott on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 10:16 AM
The City of Brotherly Love isn't showing much to book lovers.
All 54 of Philadelphia's libraries are scheduled to close because the state of Pennsylvania has not been able to pass a budget to fund the library system.
"All branch and regional library programs, including programs for children and teens, after school programs, computer classes
Pennsylvania lawmakers are still deadlocked over a proposed state budget that was supposed to have been enacted on July 1.
Gov. Ed Rendell on Monday said he would veto a legislative budget plan I guess I am supposed to feel sympathethic or empathetic relative to the libraries closing, but I cannot muster the strength. Most of us work for companies that do not have pension plans or "sweet retirement programs" and we have to make our own if possible. Some of us have had to dip into those plans to take care of the current downtrend in our individual finances. Some of us don't go to the libraries for fear of the homeless who are everywhere, even showering in the restrooms. Books, sad to say, are a thing of the past, and soon, like the typewriter, they too will be gone. Of course die hards will cry out, but society is movig on and we have to move on or get left behind. A librarian works twenty years for the library, retires and then makes an equivelent salary for the rest of his or her LONG life. They live another 35 years or so and we pay for that. Pensions need to be relaistic and people need to learn how to save on their own. Our government is way overfed for this VERY LEAN time and it is time to cut back layoff and right the ship. GO GOOGLE! Philadelphia had been banking on a 1% sales tax increase and a change in pension payment plans to help it fund library operations. If the budget does not pass within the next two weeks, the city said it will lay off all library employees.
The state budget mess could also force Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter to move forward on his so-called "Plan C" doomsday budget, beyond the closure of the libraries. Plan C would lay off 3,000 city workers, eliminate court-system funding and shut down all recreation centers. The city will send out pink slips to the 3,000 employees on Friday unless the budget passes before then.
Philadelphia's library system is the sixth-largest public library in the nation. Benjamin Franklin created its precursor, the Library Company of Philadelphia, which was the first public library in the country. September 10 WATER VERSUS WINE

Legal persnippity continuesI told my wife before I received this that this attorney would bail on me... It is a part of the legal profession I have come to detest, there is absolutely no accontability. He knows the case is close to coming to an end and he will not be able to soak me any longer, so instead of settling he is bailing. I have spoken to other attorney who say my next call should be to the bar for a formal complaint... we will see!

Re: Kruse v. Fisher-O.C.S.C. Case No. 30-2008-00101183-CU-BT-CJC Your Letter of August 28, 2009
Dear Mr. Fisher:
I got your e-mail dated August 28, 2009. On the positive side, you are a skilled writer. On the negative side, your letter reflects an extreme lack of veracity. It is also an inappropriate characterization of the legal services provided by me, Mr. Scott, and Ms. Schultz.
Your letter is so inaccurate that it is clearly time for you to engage alternate counsel. The lack of veracity with regard to me makes it unrealistic for me to continue to have confidence in any representation that you make.
I am willing to meet with you one last time, but if the issues are not resolved, then I intend to file a motion to be relieved from my duties as the attorney of record for the Estate Services Group in state court and as counsel for you in the bankruptcy case. Please resolve this matter by the close of business on September 3, 2009. In the bankruptcy case, you can represent yourself or you can be represented by Ms. Gibson. As to the Estate Services Group, I would suggest that you contact Mr. Scott and see if he is willing to represent that corporation. Otherwise, you probably can locate other counsel.
Sincerely,
Michael Creamer
RE: Kruse v. Fisher
Michael, I have asked Mr. Scott to get involved in our meeting. As to the services of Scott and Schultz, I didn't hint or mention a thing either verbally of in writing to you, relative to any unhappiness with them, again YOUR lack of veracity.
You once again shy away from what was specifically mentioned in my communication to you in attempted craftiness, legal verbose and maneuvering. You give me deadlines, but why is it you cannot muster up enough strength to get off your lethargic derrière and give deadlines to opposing counsel and get this thing closed like you should? Why is it so easy for you just to bail on me? Is that an advocate-- sincerely? Have a*´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.·´ * Wonderful day! FW: Kruse v. Fisher
Robert, for him to bail now, I would think to be the nail in the coffin for the issues I addressed in my communication to him. I respectfully submit to you that he get this closed like he should. A deadline of September 3, to me, falls under the "back alley" blackmail catagory again, when compared with the FACT that he has given NOT ONE SINGLE DEADLINE TO English, or for that matter even spoken to him! If I meet with him, it must be in your presence. Have a*´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.·´ * Wonderful day! |
