Idaho: Administrators in Burley warn that the J.R. “Jack” Simplot Airport could shutdown in 2016, if it doesn’t get more help from impoverished federal and state taxpayers. The Federal Aviation Administration says the small and deteriorating airport will be shutdown due to its short runways. The only way to save it is to move it to a new location, but so far every possible location has brought up new legal issues. In Boise, desperate gov’na Butch Otter met with administrators of the Central Asian country of Azerbaijan. No details were publicised about what was discussed. 
For proof the state government has failed with its SNAP (food stamps) allocations, fuel station Stinker Stores donated $20-thousand USD to the Idaho FoodBank, along with $50-thousand from customers of Stinker Stores. The League of Women Voters of Idaho is demanding a reduction in state sales tax. They’ve launched a ballot initiative to drop it by 1%, from 6% to 5%. Gee, when I first moved to Idaho in the late 1990s it was 5%. I remember when the state ‘elected’ lawmakers told us the increase to 6% was “temporary”, then suddenly it became permanent. In Idaho Falls, the Guns and Gear store reports increased training of individuals for the state concealed carry license: “The concealed-carry class is getting busier and busier. I’ve been doing three a month here at the store. I usually run anywhere from 12 to 15 students. In the last two weeks we’ve filled all the courses.”-Pete Italiano

Washington: Without warning recycler JACO Environmental laid off 154 people at two locations! A WARN was given to the state the day after the layoffs began. According to American Metal Market, JACO is now defunct. A news report out of Rhode Island confirms JACO suddenly ended its recycling ops, and says people who were expecting $50 recycling checks in the mail for their old refrigerators will get diddly squat instead! JACO has operations around the U.S. so I expect their shutdown to be nation wide.
Washington DC: The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is threatening the halt the merger between Office Depot and Mitt Romney created Staples. The FTC wants “concessions” to prove the merged companies will not create a monopoly. Rest assured this will not delay the ongoing store shutdowns. The Federal Reserve (government created ‘jewish’ run central bank) ended its free money ‘lending’ program for Too Big to Jail banks!

Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all ‘measuring green jobs’ products.
