Erie PA News and Events for Tuesday September 19, 2006

Jim Berlin, who owns Logistics Plus, announced he wants to put a railroad museum at Union Station in Erie. Logistics Plus bought Union Station station about 3 years ago. Not a bad idea. The only thing standing in the way of the museum (or me owning the Pittsburgh Steelers) is millions of dollars.

If you had a child born with Autism, Down Syndrome, or some other physical or developmental disability, there are doctors, counselors, and agencies to help you. Sometimes you need to hear from other parents in the same boat as you. Parent to Parent of Pennsylvania does just that. They match parents and family members of children and adults with disabilities or special needs on a one-on-one basis according to condition or concerns. See their site if you’d like to get matched or if you can offer help as a peer supporter.

Erie City Council will vote on Wednesday to spend $40,420.00 for a new email system. Maybe they can send the layoff notices via the new email system. The city is in dire financial condition and a shut down of all non-essential city services before the end of the year is a good possibility. A take over by the state is could be in the future. He’s my suggestion: give everyone a free Gmail account and buy 100 shares of Google.
