I have my concerns that Berger's open communications are nothing more than a different way of saying that we aren't going to give but we will make the other side.

Either way, I'm concerned about the budget and other issues but I feel the most urgent need right now is to get funds out to those who qualify for EB. I believe this situation and the # of ppl involved most definitely qualifies as an emergency.

For those who said they won't lose many votes over this, I disagree. I know quite a few people on UE ,who have always been hardcore Republican, that have actually changed their affiliation to independent. I know a lot of Republicans who have not lost their jobs and are disgusted by this as well. It is funny how they stand on their "high moral ground" and use religion when it suits them. HYPOCRITES!!!!!! I TELL YA.

any more details

I know this is a little off topic, but has anyone noticed how Berger looks like Ricky Gervais?

Don't know about all that, I think Ricky Gervais is halarious. Berger, on the other hand, is not.

This was a post from someone on Facebook.

Thats all well and good, its not that I don't believe this person.

However, I have never talked to anyone from Berger's office that even mildly nice. In fact, each time I called(probably 25 times by now) I spoke to a cranky old Republican woman. She tried to get me to "get the democrats to override Purdue's veto". She thought she was speaking to someone that was uneducated, and she talked down to me like I was a child. I gave up calling because it was always the same scripted answer. That's interesting someone got a call back?!

I hope thats true. "It will be over soon", etc. Thanks for some positive info

By the way, when did tcar register and start on here? Just wondering....

Your posts are always so inspiring. Thanks for the encouragement still unemployed. Maybe you will get to say "I told you so", and you'd "be right" about unemployment taking until July 1st...........

How about this, when your getting ready to sit down at the computer....think about how other people are going to react to what you write. Is it considerate? Is it intelligent? Or is it just plain self-serving garbage.

People are checking this board because they have hope resolution will come quickly. I'm sure your comments are well-intended, some of them are....

Just quit your amateur predictions about when checks are going to get issued. No one needs it. You have no other information that the rest of us don't have.

Hold on a bit longer..... FU** that. This should have been taken care of 6 weeks ago. I will continue to call, email, write letters, and be proactive...to see that this is done NOW, or asap.
