   JOKE    THOUGHT    OPINION
We’ve been thinking deep thoughts, and we’ve buried them in today’s edition of the Joke of the Day!


"After the last of 16 mounting screws has been removed from an access cover, it will be discovered that the wrong access cover has been removed."

~De La Lastra's Law


   THIS WEEK'S POLL
Intelligent on-demand lighting systems for wind farms have recently been developed and approved by the FAA. With these systems, turbine obstruction-lights remain off at all times and are only activated when aircraft are operating in the vicinity of the wind farm. There are over 500 wind turbine towers projected to be constructed in Wyoming in the next year or two.   Should wind farms in Wyoming be required to use this new system?



The Obama administration is backing legislation that includes regulations requiring U.S. businesses to provide to the government data about employee pay as it relates to the sex, race and national origin of employees. Proponents of the Paycheck Fairness Act say paycheck discrimination hurts families who lose out on badly needed income. Critics charge the legislation could outlaw many legitimate practices employers use to set employee pay rates.   Should the Paycheck Fairness Act be passed into law?







   LAST WEEK'S RESULTS
(WyomingNetwork does NOT represent this as a scientific poll.)
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan proposed President George W. Bush’s tax cuts should be allowed to expire because of the ballooning budget deficit. Opponents say that Congress should temporarily continue the Bush tax cuts in order to boost our still-struggling economy.   Should the tax cuts be renewed or allowed to expire?

Renew tax cuts
64.8%

Allow them to expire
35.2%

Starting this fall, a school district in Missouri will emulate Denver’s program of advancing students based on their skill level rather than time based in class. Teachers will instruct students in small groups and individually on projects. Students who master the skills can move forward sooner. Opponents suggest the rest of the students will be singled out and feel shamed. Supporters say it cuts down on discipline issues because advanced students aren’t frustrated and bored.   Should Wyoming adopt a similar program?

Adopt the change
72.1%

Keep Wyoming’s educational system the same
27.9%
