Any thoughts on tutoring?

You could either work for a company or offer services directly through community Facebook pages.

I hear there's an opening at... nope, won't do it. Too painful.

It works great in Columbia. A couple of times a year my personal phone won’t be as good as my AT&T work phone, but at $15/month, I’m very happy with it.

Pick your location, then choose animal issue.

Depends on where you work. Some of the nicer ones probably average out to that or more.

Definitely something I'd consider.

I've never done it because it seems like it is a really hard job to get if you've never done it before. Does it typically pay at least $15/hour? I hear lots of stuff about tips and wages so I wonder if making pizza at domino's for $15/hr might be a safer bet.

Lots of restaurants in the area so probably a server job?

I’ll also add that, if there are multiple challengers to an incumbent, please talk with the other challengers and consider bowing out of the race. You don’t want to split the opposition vote.

You should contact your village manager for specifics. But generally speaking, you will be able to pick up a candidates packet from your community center in early March. It will outline some requirements (like getting ten signatures) to submit your candidacy. You will need to submit that packet by around March 20. Then the election will be in April.

The specifics vary from village to village. Again just reach out to the staff at your community center for the specifics for your village.

As a resident of one of the communities where the board member is working against Boyd, when and how do I run against my member?

She is asking to be transitioned out of her position, technically not even saying she is resigning just asking to set up a transition plan. The article even goes into how this is a tactical move so that if the board reversed course she can stay in her position

thanks friend.

Maybe but that’s not my interpretation.

She very clearly didn’t “resign.” I believe she is saying “The ‘plan’ the board presented me is a breach of my contract. If you want a president to follow it, find a different president and be prepared for a lawsuit.”

I could be wrong.

It sounds like she is choosing to resign rather than being forced try and achieve the impossible, i don't think she is being terminated

The elections are in late April but most (all?) villages have voting online and/or mail-in voting throughout most of April. Candidate applications are made available at the beginning of March and are typically due in mid March. The exact dates for all of this vary from village to village and the villages are pretty good about communicating the details.

Three villages (Owen Brown, Harper's Choice, and Town Center) have two year terms with the CA Reps up for election in even years. Seven CA reps are up for election in 2023:

• ⁠Long Reach • ⁠River Hill • ⁠Oakland Mills • ⁠Kings Contrivance • ⁠Hickory Ridge • ⁠Dorsey Search • ⁠Wilde Lake

Local leaders have also started petitions to recall five of the CA Board members most opposed to Ms. Boyd. So if you live in Oakland Mills, Dorsey, Harper’s, River Hill, or Town Center you can consider contacting your village board and asking them to recall your CA rep.

I am new. Are the board directors up for vote? And who can vote them in/out? I mean if they aren't transparent then they need to go. I have not paid attention to this but I think I should.

I love Mint. I’ve never had a problem. My partner has Verizon and I often have good service when he doesn’t have any.

I cannot understand how they get it.

See now you made me laugh so i have to upvote you again!

Thanks for taking active interest. Tell your friends. Vote.

They are sorta like an HOA but for an entire city of 100s of thousands of people.

Here, you can downvote this one

Im so conflicted. I want to upvote you because you are probably right. But i want to downvote you because of how disgusted the fact you are probably right about this makes me feel. Here's an upvote anyway.

I use T-mobile, I guess I didn't convey that clearly enough. I just knew Mint uses T-mobile's network so I felt I could speak on the reliability of the network.

Hey are they still down there? Did they get out? Any news?
