Posted on by admin

THE LIBERTY BELL, PHILADELPHIA, PA — During an anti-war demonstration at the Liberty Bell, a veteran was allegedly arrested. The first of two demonstrations took place while President Obama was making a speech on Syria. That is when Emily Yates (an Iraqi war veteran) and other musicians were playing music in a section of Independence Mall.

The second demonstration started to gather. Fish And Game officers, along with US Park Rangers, began getting militant about the National Park.

While Emily was playing her banjo under a shade tree, U.S. Park Rangers fenced her into a confined area. Then, they told her she could not be inside the fence. Upon questioning why, she was surrounded and attacked by the officers.

At this time, Emily Yates is believed to be in Federal Detention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Concerned citizens are asking for support.

Many questions remain as to why she was man-handled in the presence of female officers. Also disturbing to those at the event — why was Emily assaulted by Park Rangers in the presence of the Philadelphia Police?

bookmark_borderOutlook For Montgomery County

Posted on by admin

Moody’s Investors Service late affirmed Montgomery County’s Aa1 bond rating saying that it reflected the county “management’s efforts over the past year to grow recurring revenues, control costs and improve long-term budgeting procedures.” At the same time, however, Moody’s revised the county’s outlook from stable to negative, basing that decision on what it called “the county’s narrow financial position following several years of operating deficits, including a larger than projected deficit for fiscal 2012.”

In its outlook, Moody’s said the county suffered “significant operating deficits in fiscal years 2008 through 2012, driven largely by structural imbalances that the county began to close in fiscal 2012.” It went on to explain that the new county administration employed “a variety of cost reduction measures that resulted in a more modest operating deficit in fiscal 2012 than in several prior fiscal
years.”

“We are not at all surprised by either of Moody’s actions today,” said Uri Monson, the county’s chief financial officer. “Moody’s reaffirmed our rating, because they know that we are aggressively and systematically addressing the problems we inherited, but they also know that our road has not been an easy one to traverse, and these challenges will not be solved overnight.”
