GOP official booed at Sacramento Tea Party

Tweet "Something hugely significant just happened here at the Sacramento Tea Party.

• Organizer Mark Meckler singled out GOP opportunists who wouldn’t give him the time of day weeks ago — and then wanted to hitch their wagons to the Tea Party bandwagon at the last minute.

Meckler said he heard that California GOP chair Ron Nehring was in the audience. Meckler invited him to say hi to the crowd —

• and then ripped him for waffling on the massive tax hike ballot measures (particularly Prop1A - $16 billion tax hikes).

Massive boos from the crowd of thousands here

• against the Calif. GOP establishment.

Will this make the MSM coverage? It doesn’t fit the narrative. But it’s yet another demonstration that this movement

• is not partisan and equal opportunity when it comes to holding politicians’ feet to the fire for fiscal irresponsibility and fecklessness."

"Request for $168,300 called a 'long shot'

HUDSON, Ohio - An Ohio man who got federal stimulus money to quiet train horns near his home says the request was a long shot that paid off.

• Greg McNeil made a request for $168,300 on behalf of his homeowners association. The project was one of 149 transportation projects the state selected to receive stimulus money - and
  
• the only one based on an application from a private citizen.

The money will be used to make safety upgrades at a railroad crossing so trains won't have to blow their horns when they pass.

• The noise has been an issue for homeowners who live in Hudson and Macedonia.

McNeil says he hopes the crossing project is finished by Labor Day.
