Politics & Government - 28 June 2007

Does anyone know if I would be able to get any kind of financial help from the government for a new boiler.

Mine has just broken and have been told I need a new one. I am with a housing association who I pay 75% rent to but they won't help because they say if you own 25% its your responsibility. I cant afford a new one as i've been quoted £550. I also have a 5 month old baby and I need hot water for her more than anything.

PS. My husband works full time (not a good wage) and I have a full time job but I'm currently on maternity leave.

I understand that each new Prime Minister wants to make the cabinet thier own, but I'm confused. For example, how can an Environment Secretary become a Home Affairs Secretary - do all the members of the cabinet possess all the skills to do all the jobs? If I'm missing something, please let me know.

Can I sue my employer? They sent me out on my garbage route during the 5th worst snow storm in ny history. Operations were suposed to be canceld and were through out the entire township. But myself and driver were in earlier and assumed we had to go and do the route. I tore tendons in my arm lifting garbage pail burried in snow. Surgery mademy arm worse. After pleading and begging for any other posistion through out the countries largest and richest township they laughed and denied any transfer. I filed for my article 15 disability pension and was granted my disability pension after being seen by retitrment pension doctor. BUT THE DISABILITY PENSION ONLY PAYS 33% OF MY AVG. SALARY. IN OTHER WORDS SINCE i COULD NOT MAKE END MEET ON MY REGULAR SALARY AS A GARBAGE MAN i NOW HAVE BEEN POVERTY STRIKEN ! OF COURE I CALLED EMPLOYMENT LAWERS BUT THEY DID NOT WANT THE CASE THEY SAID I SHOULD GO ON SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY. i TOLD THEM OF COURSE i APLIED FOR SSD BUT THAT TAKES 2-3 YEARS IN NY

Senate Immigration Reform Bill Takes Step Toward the Grave

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,286973,00.html

WASHINGTON — The fragile immigration reform bill crafted in the Senate faces sudden death Thursday when a second vote is scheduled to shut down a filibuster.

If supporters don't get the 60 votes they need to end debate, then the bill is dead since the Senate schedule does not allow any more time to revive the legislation.

In an unusual admission, two leadership aides — one Democrat, one Republican — told FOX News that they have no idea how the vote will go. Vote-counting is something that is normally down to a science in the Senate chamber. The vote to end debate, called "cloture," is expected at 10:30 a.m. ET.
