Holland PA. Boy Scout Supports Troops in Middle East -cnbnews.net

 

Nick Trivelis, of Holland PA. Bucks County, is working toward his Eagle Scout. Nick is 17 years \"Yellowribbon2\" old and attends Council Rock High School South in Bucks County Pennsylvania. He is in Boy Scout Troop #147, Bucks County.


When Nick chose a project he wanted to make a difference. He decided that supporting the men and women in Afghanistan would be the greatest way to show those who are in harms way, that they are not alone and that there is support back home. Nicks exact words about his project were \”I wanted my project to be unique and personal and bring the troops some entertainment and a distraction from the horrors of war\”. With that, Nick went on a quest and the results are huge.

 

He reached out to the Yellow Ribbon Club. When given suggestions, he began and completed one of the largest collections that ever took place for the Yellow Ribbon Club. He collected items for care packages in big all out drives. He assembled the packages with the help of his troop. He even raised money to help with the shipping costs.

 

This Tuesday, June 28th at 5:30pm, Nick and helpers will be delivering 120 boxes to the Yellow Ribbon Club who will ship out his packages on Wednesday, June 29th to all of the military men and women on their (YRC) shipping list. This includes Army, Air Force, Marines, and Navy personnel. Together, the YRC and Nick will tape up all of the boxes on site at the drop off location.


The Yellow Ribbon Club would like to publicly thank Nick for his hard work. This is one young man who is making a huge difference in the lives some of our deployed military folks.

New Jersey Policy Perspective: Busting the Myth-cnbnews.net

As a matter of fact…

 

Busting the myth: The real numbers show N.J. is not the most overtaxed state in the nation

 

Tax Myth: New Jersey has the highest tax \”burden\” of any state in the nation.

 

Tax Fact: When it comes to state and local government, people who live in Wyoming pay a greater percentage of their income to taxes than do people who live in New Jersey.

 

In The Sunday Star-Ledger, New Jersey Policy Perspective dispels some of the persistent myths about state and local taxes in New Jersey. Analyzing unaltered data from the U.S. Census and the U.S. Department of Commerce, NJPP shows that residents of seven other states, as well as the District of Columbia, devote a higher percentage of their personal income to state and local taxes than do those of us who live in New Jersey. The highest tax state, as it turns out, is actually Wyoming.
