Everyone deserves to earn a living wage. There shouldn’t be any barrier between working an honest day in exchange for a living wage. For anyone. Have you heard the battle cry for living wages?
There should be no starving artists. Not a single impoverished worker. A living wage for everyone who works a fruitful day. Yes to a trampoline for those who take a short fall from earning a living wage and, of course, a safety net to catch those falling farther. Read More...

Last summer the DeKalb Airport installed a waste oil heater in the Airport Maintenance Hangar. The airport is trying to cut costs everywhere and this is a good opportunity to try and cut their gas bills.
During snow removal operations, snow removal equipment is pulled out of the hangar to plow and is put away when the airport is operational again. They have to open the large hangar door to get the equipment out. This lets all the heat out and it takes a long time and is very expensive to regain the heat in the hangar. When they have completed plowing and all the equipment is like an ice cube, the hangar door is opened and the equipment is put away. Again, it takes a long time to recover the heat in the hangar. The waste oil heater is to ease the use of the natural gas infrared heaters when they have the hangar door open a lot. Read More...
