An annual list of civil servants making more than $100,000 a year shows that more than 500 public transit employees cracked six-figures. Of the 548 TTC employees, 21 toll collectors made up to $125,000. The TTC says a collector's top base salary is just over $58,000 but many choose to work overtime and holidays which is how they made the so-called Sunshine List of top earners.  

St. Louis Regional Airport officials are looking into landing a deal with the FAA. Airport Manager David Miller presented the Airport Authority Board with a plan Thursday that could allow the governmental body to purchase land and a hangar adjacent to the airport and be reimbursed by the Federal Aviation Authority. Miller said at one time the chief executive officer of Premier Air Center asked if the airport would be interested in purchasing 20.22 acres of property.

The emergency flashboard will go up at Saylorville Lake this weekend, and early next week water will begin trickling onto the emergency spillway. Though the emergency spillway will be used, it won't be topped. The Army Corp of Engineers now believes there will be three to four feet of leeway, more than enough to prevent an uncontrolled release of water down the Des Moines River.

Students have voted to have a section of their Scarborough school transformed into a world-class aquatic centre fit for the 2015 Pan Am Games.

With just five words quietly slipped into legislation, Illinois lawmakers are moving to include tire burning in the state's definition of renewable energy, a change that would benefit a south suburban incinerator with a long history of pollution problems. Adding the "incineration or burning of tires" to a measure intended to boost wind and solar energy would clear the way for Geneva Energy to reap lucrative green energy credits for its troubled incinerator in Ford Heights, one of the poorest suburbs in t

Jamaicans have been noticing that several of the grocery items they buy no longer look and taste the same, and several persons have taken their complaints of misleading packaging and falling quality standards to the Fair Trading Commission (FTC). The FTC, as competition watchdog, can and does force food manufacturers to correct misleading representations of products where these are proved. But when the grouse is simply a matter of how the product 'tastes', then it is up to the consumer to make the call

The Fair Trading Commission was concerned that this misleading practice could pose a major health risk to some members of the public such as diabetics, who would assume that the labelling was accurate   -David Miller

 

Forgive Randy Trumbower if he feels like he was born on third base and hit a triple. Unlike in politics, where that description is used as a pejorative, that feeling is a good thing in baseball. In its first game versus its cross-town rival since Trumbower inherited the Chapel Hill baseball team from former Tiger head coach David Miller last summer, CHHS did something Friday it had been itching to do for years -- beat East Chapel Hill.
