Customer reviews on line are generally negative as folks with positive experiences don't feel motivated to post. The establishment met or exceeded their expectations doesn't motivate a comment. Some negative reviews are almost hysterically funny when criticizing small faults in the context of the experience. i.e. my...

I believe Morgan and Williams. I can't believe this kind of stuff still goes on. You're helping every minority who follows; women, people of color, however-one-identifies-gender-wise and so on. Stay strong.

The establishment of this new monument is completely unnecessary. The old growth forests in this region are already protected, and clear-cutting is no longer an accepted forestry practice. This will simply eliminate sustainable timber harvest from a huge area, at the cost of jobs and revenues. Too, anyone who has inves...

Because of filibuster rules in the Senate, it takes 60 votes to get most things passed. This is where the Democrats hold everything up. To be fair, Republicans have been known to do the same when Democrats are in charge.

I think people are just shocked that somebody from the right is acting like a bully. The people on the right have been bullied for decades. First it was civil rights, then abortion, and gay rights. Now it seems to be transgender rights. If you do not say or do the current correct things according to the left, yo...

The only reason why the government waited so long was because the Bundys, who were the leaders of the conspiracy, were hold up at their ranch all of this time.

Exactly. Trump is vocalizing what millions of Americans won't say out loud for fear of being publicly ridiculed by the left. Trump is immune to political correctness and that's what makes him so popular. Political Correctness has met its nemesis in Donald Trump and it sure is fun to watch.

Hi CherryAnn, State tax increases do not have to be approved by voters. But they do require a three-fifths majority vote in both chambers. Voters could potentially gather enough signatures to refer this tax increase, or any other, to the ballot for a vote. But it doesn't happen automatically. Thanks.
