Haley bumped from Idol

"American Idol" finalist Haley Reinhart won't be growling on this season's final showdown.

On November 2, 2010, I was elected to serve on the Governor’s Council for the 7th District. The Governor’s Council was created by John Adams, Samuel Adams and other Founding Fathers to be a check on the power of the Massachusetts governor.

The council may be even more relevant today because Massachusetts is a one-party state, which lacks checks and balances. (T&G;)

The contract, which contains some language on staffing ratios and gives nurses 1 percent raises in two consecutive years, is probably best described as middle ground, far from the territory described in the fiery rhetoric coming from the Massachusetts Nurses Association.
