For those of you that don’t know Google has this van with cameras on it and it drives around everywhere.  It has even made it way through the Upper Peninsula now.  We are officially in the Google image database, the largest of its kind for street view photos.  Big brother ie Google is watching, with photo evidence time to put out that building permit.  From the images I date it early fall 2008 they came through.  You can see the SNB here.  If the links pull up black, just hit the search maps button at the top of googles page it should refresh it.

State Local Goverments reeling in the down economy.

California is more broke then myself at the moment.  Budget cuts, tax increases even proposing internet sales tax if your business sells more then $10000 of goods to people in California.  The State of Michigan has already made cuts and need to make more, now the rest of the country is finally catching up.  I even see on the news, little school districts like Gwinn having 1 million dollar negative budgets.  When are people going to realize the belt needs to get tight on every level of government.  This economic slowdown will not be over anytime soon.  The amount of jobs, services, personnel the federal gov all the way down to schools is going to have to get slashed drastically, it’s not going to be fun, don’t get upset, it is just the way it is.  For the last 5 + years consumers over leveraged themselves on there homes and the economy boomed.  Now it’s time to pay those bills.
