We are leaving my family and also my in-laws, I know its going to be tough on my wife because she is never been away from her family and also she's never been out of Florida, for me is normal because I have been on my own most of my adult life. I agree with you, we will miss family and the beaches, thats it.

The next step is to ....wait for it....raise income taxes.

Is that based on your opinion or do you have some independent analysis that you're referring to...if so, can you post the link? I would love to read it. Thanks.

The budget he is proposing eliminates the Bell police department's three highest-ranking officers, but calls for hiring a new chief. The former chief, Randy Adams, was fired last year after it was learned he was paid $457,000 a year, or $150,000 more than Los Angeles' police chief, to run a department of about 40 people. He has not been charged with a crime.

Personal attacks should be prohibited in this forum. I wish there were moderators in here.
