| Busy DynaBil adds plant, hires workers, expects big bump in sales
A new 33,000-square-foot plant, the latest expansion at DynaBil Industries Inc. in Coxsackie, will help double annual revenue within three years, said company president Paul Burton. The aerospace manufacturer will hire 70 workers, pushing its total work force to 300 by the end of this year. That's almost twice the staff DynaBil had two years ago. The company had already hired 50 employees ahead of an announcement about the new building Feb. 4. DynaBil has been boosted by its role as a parts supplier to Boeing Co.'s 787 "Dreamliner" airplane. The new manufacturing plant gives DynaBil needed space, Burton said. .

Editorial: Labor for LNG
So, I would say in negotiations, the non-union labor item, along with the sale at a bargain price of some of the gas to Oregonians being cheap or free, should be favorable to the State of Oregon. If we can't get a lot or most of these items, then the owner can hit the waves! It appears that this type of opportunity cannot be handled by any of our State politicians, expecially the Governor, so the first hurdle to overcome would be to get someone that knows what they are doing in negotiations.

City may move homeless from underpass to shelter
Mayor Ray Nagin's administration appears to be preparing to move the city's biggest homeless colony, a highly visible collection of people and bedrolls just off Canal Street, to a Central City emergency shelter. Some City Council members and leading advocates for the homeless say they are not aware of the plan, although the director of the New Orleans Mission confirmed that the city accepted his proposal on Friday. Nagin alluded to a plan for the homeless last week during an appearance on WWL-TV. He said he had recently seen a man in the encampment on Claiborne Avenue beneath Interstate 10 "drinking beer and just flipping the bird to citizens." Calling the scene "a mess," Nagin said that before the end of February, the city will begin enforcing its "habitation laws." "We've got more mental cases out there," the mayor said.

Talking cents into voters: Muscatine County educators hope they can ...
MUSCATINE, Iowa — A penny lying on the sidewalk is a common sight, as if the single cent is no longer worth the effort it would take to pick it up. But educators and administrators throughout Muscatine County have learned how far a penny can go over the past eight years. A drive past any of the county’s four school districts provides examples of the way pennies have become million-dollar projects in Muscatine County. n West Liberty has a new high schooln Wilton High School students are performing in a new auditoriumn Muscatine students attend a vastly improved high schooln Students at Louisa-Muscatine Junior Senior High School have a new Iowa Com-munications Network room, a weight room, wrestling room and four air-conditioned classrooms.School districts throughout the county have also undergone a number of projects that make schools safer, more comfortable, energy efficient and attractive.And every one of these projects began with a penny.That’s because in 1999, the residents of Muscatine County voted to give an extra penny in tax for the purchases they and other shoppers would make in the county from 2000-2010.Local option sales tax is imposed on sales and services except for food, prescription drugs, motor fuel, automobiles, farm equipment and rentals subject to an existing hotel/motel tax.The tax is given to the county and divided among the area school districts in proportion to their student population to use for school district building needs and improvements.Time to start anewThe resident-approved tax, or School Infrastructure Local Option sales and service tax, also called SILO, is nearing the end of that 10-year period, and educators are hoping the public will vote to renew it.
