I am sorry, but riding a skateboard in that area at 1:30am is asking for serious trouble. I wouldn't stop at a red light in that area at that time.

This sentencing is also a scam. Why is the scumbags wife(who is also a scumbag) left with $771,000+?
She should be left with nothing like the victims of this horrendous scheme

It's obvious Obama has made some great decisions. From the attack on Bin Laden to the rescue of the auto industry, to trying to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanastan and now, the unbiased Supreme Court has sided with Obama's health care plan(which Romney distanced himself from even though it was his plan that Obama tried to model it after, because it was too controversial) . It's time to give credit for credit due. Nobody's perfect.

That ain't no bull_____.

I don't get it. The article is supposedly about a local arrest being done in conjunction with a national sweep targeting the exploitation of child prostitution. The 2 women arrested were 24 and 35 years old. There was also a 17 year old girl who according to the police was not arrested because she did nothing wrong and was not involved in the prostitution. Now, a poster, proinsias, discovers that one of the women arrested runs an "entertainment agency" which most likely provides dancers for strip clubs. These women do not not seem to be guilty of child exploitation unless there is more information to this story that was not given?

proinsias, I didn't see anything in the story about the information you mentioned in your post. Based on your information, I assume that Jennifer Scholle is an agent providing dancers to strip clubs. The other lady and the girl are probably strippers. I doubt the 3 drove from RI to West Springfield just to have sex for $100 and $250. I'm sure theres plenty of ready & willing customers for them in Rhode Island for the sex.

Brown apparently can't focus on what his accomplishments have been since taking office that have helped the people so he gets his wife to tell everyone what a wonderful husband he has been. I say big deal! My vote is for Warren. She seems ready to help the average person.

Did casino's help Atlantic City?I don't think so. I agree with Angelo Puppolo in that it would increase crime by putting it in the inner city. Palmer is more like Uncasville, CT or Ledyard, CT. which seems to have worked pretty good for Mohegan and Foxwoods and seems like a better location for a casino.

It is not the jury's fault. It is our screwed up legal system. As anybody who has ever been a victim in a criminal case knows, the defense has to prove everything "beyond a reasonable doubt". Obviously there was some doubt on the part of the jury. That is why they were asking for further clarification on some aspects of the law And why they couldn't decide completely on the case.

Get rid of those exorbitant pensions and have the retirees live on social security like everyone else.

Maybe they have the electronics and jewlery departments mixed up.LOL. Anyway, in most department stores they even have the $200 Itouches locked up, and you have to get a clerk to physically get one for you. Something just doesn't add up in this story.

I agree Canadaman, this guy will probably retire and make more doing nothing than most of us working for an honest living. If he did something wrong to be removed take away his retirement. There's no incentive to be honest when working in the public sector.

These guys might look pretty scary looking but it still seems pretty hard to believe one of them would actually stop to proposition a would be prostitute if one was with his "wife" or driving a very visible Fed Ex truck and risk losing his job.

It seems to me the ordinance was not enforced because the outdoor area at Starbucks is pretty limited and very casual, and most people go to Starbucks for their drinks not so much for food. As for the Field club and Longmeadow CC, the town probably let their members decide how to deal with it.But now Longmeadow has a true eating establishment offering outdoor dining which will probably be on the higher end of burger places, so the ordinance needs to be enforced.

As long as cities such as Springfield have to keep paying those lush, bloated pensions and health benefits to former city workers there will be serious consequences. Sarno has no choice.

I'm surprised they didn't book FAT again this year? They always draw a huge crowd.

Big deal. They got rid of 1 overpaid person who sounds like a real jerk as well. He'll probably receive one of those lush public union pensions for about $80k a year now for the rest of his life for doing nothing. What a joke to make a big deal about this elimination.

I can't believe the city was allowing businesses to use the city's trash collection with multiple barrels. Supposedly they got "grandfathered in". What a joke. Its all who you know. Did the city ever hear of commercial dumpsters by private haulers?

If these guys can repay over 8 million dollars, they must have done pretty good at Mastex. But I was thinking the jerks on wall street that put the entire country in the toilet and stole hundreds of millions in the process will probably never see a day in prison or pay back any of the money they stole.

It seems trying to beat Richie Neal is like what is was like for a someone to try beating Ted Kennedy when he was alive. It ain't happening. Shein doesn't stand a chance and he probably woke up to that revelation.
