Wyoming, New Hampshire finally get Job Corps sites

By KATHLEEN MILLER
Associated Press Writer

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) -- U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine Chao announced in a teleconference Wednesday that new Job Corps centers will be built in New Hampshire and Wyoming, ending the two states' status as the only states without such centers.


Like that's cause to celebrate. 

But, wait, there's more!

Manchester – A new Job Corps Center in Manchester serving 500 students will be the first of its kind to focus on Homeland Security training.

AP does that a lot. I guess their headlines aren't subject to the usual editorial processes of keeping the obvious bias below a threshold where most would notice it.

At least the FSW kooks can't rub it in our face

That's probably why the Job Corps is coming to NH and WY - so they can have more manpower to spy on the Freestaters and Frestaters West...


  < look out for this guy.

The name "Job Corps" sounds scary to me. When I hear that name I envision secret service agents with sunglasses breaking down peoples doors and telling unemployed people they have one week to find a job, or else. They should have a less scary name.

What, like the Popular Employment Concern?

Do you want a happy, feel-good name, or an accurate name?

At least there's going to be another place to conduct regular protests (besides the Keene IRS office) for underprotested hampsters.

This is another scam like the WIA... see the other thread about that.. I had posted about this before....

This was passed by our last Democrat governor and is a workforce handholding job corp thing.

Like you said, take the dropouts and put them in IMPORTANT jobs... LOL

Tax base blunder: No relief from Job Corps center

TWO MONTHS after a revaluation that shifted more of the city's tax burden to residential properties -- and after they passed a budget with a 7 percent tax increase -- aldermen voted 12-1 to allow a federal Job Corps center on 20 acres on Hackett Hill.

Only one alderman, Ward 5's Ed Osborne, voted last September against the deal. His excellent reason: it would remove 20 acres of commercial space from the tax rolls.

On Wednesday came word that Manchester landed the federal facility, which will provide subsidized job training for companies in the homeland security business. Supposedly, the center will boost the economy by pumping out trained workers. But businesses already train their workers, and there's no reason local colleges and universities can't offer training in the same field.

The only sure thing is that the center will further shift the property tax burden to homeowners. If the city is lucky the center will attract companies in the future. We hope so. Only if new businesses come to offset the property tax loss the center created will it benefit overtaxed city residents. Unfortunately, that's a big if.

I don't think they are kooks .... a couple of them are annoying.
We can fight to see who closes their job corps office first.
