"According to an online search, the 30 percent hydrogen peroxide solution is 10 times as concentrated as the 3 percent hydrogen peroxide generally sold in stores."
You had to do a search to figure that out?

This is OUTRAGEOUS. A nearly similar situation took place a couple of years ago at the Niagara County Animal Shelter. The incompetent politically connected son turned the shelter into a disaster which was finally brought to the public's attention by the director of the Erie County SPCA. The hue and cry from the public was amazing. Unfortunately, animals had to suffer for over a year before that happened. Let's not repeat the mistake.

In the case where someone dies and leaves an estate, I don't see why their student loan obligations shouldn't be paid out of that estate just like their other obligations. Does Schumer's bill address this?

Notice how there's no discussion of cutting administrative staff? I guess that means each and every generously paid administrator is absolutely, unequivocally essential to the functioning of the school district. Nope, there's no fat there that could be cut, forget about it -- come on, say they were to cut the third assistant principal in charge of picking up locker room lint -- the school would simply collapse! Much better, instead, to cut a teacher, it's obvious. Trust us, we know what's best.
Better yet -- let's move to online learning, then we can get rid of even more teachers, yeah, that's the ticket.

Actually a third man with area ties was honored by the organization, too. Rich Templeton, CEO of Texas Instruments, is a Union College graduate ~1987:
SAN JOSE, Calif.—Nov. 29, 2012—The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), representing U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing and design, today announced that Rich Templeton, chairman, president and CEO of Texas Instruments, has been named the 2012 recipient of SIA’s highest honor, the Robert N.

As I recall, Steve Schonwetter was a terrific runner in high school at Linton High. Seems to me he was the fastest schoolboy miler in the nation one year in the late 1960s, with a time of ~4:10. Anyone remember?
