This is a drop in the bucket for what these people need- and there are about 500 more families here just like them. Oprah means well but with billions like she has, why not give something that will make an impact.

The only issues the union has brought to light is they are a bunch of whiners who want to run things their way. There is LABOR and there is management. You can't have it both ways.

It is not the LAW to keep e-mails. You are as WRONG as Buffalo Bob was on the veto. Both of you should keep your noses in something you know about. Read the state statutes.
