SandBoxBlogs: Newsmax "Rubio's Immigration Push a Potential Lift for GOP"
"....The 40-year-old freshman lawmaker is looking at unveiling his bill in the coming weeks. The early outlines have drawn interest and skepticism from pro-immigration groups. Rubio's political motivation also has been questioned, especially since congressional Republicans and Democrats say legislation as ambitious as immigration is unlikely to be done seven months from the election.
"Is this really a legislative initiative or a political ploy?" asked Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice. "If it's about a political ploy, it's about throwing a lifeline to Romney, rather than throwing a lifeline to the dreamers."
Joaquin Castro, a Democratic member of the Texas legislature and a candidate for the U.S. House, said Rubio must be troubled by the GOP talk.
"It must be difficult for a Hispanic Republican to sit there and listen to all of the harsh rhetoric coming from the Republican Party about his community," Castro said in an interview.

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News "A scar upon Graceland"
Johnny Boyd:
"The purchase of a downtown building doesn’t automatically carry a guarantee that a profit will be turned. Something should be returned to the community in exchange for the ability to cash in. If you want to play, you have to pay. Want to subsidize the rents so that businesses that are not national corporations can open? Now you’re talking. How about including an equal amount of employee housing with your penthouse party pad? If a 5,000-square-foot penthouse is the driving force to finance the operation, could you construct five 1,000-square-foot lodge rooms under it?
It’s not that difficult to come up with ways to benefit the community that gives you a chance to profit. It might not be the huge profit that was expected, but making a comfortable living should be more than enough. People don’t have to make an obscene profit....." (Read more? Click title)
