The Military Growth Task Force is seeking comment on the Transportation Demand Management Plan currently in development. There is an online survey and a public workshop scheduled for commuters in the Jacksonville-New River-Camp Lejeune areas.

Joel Roberson, Jr. was killed at Jacksonville’s Western Blvd intersection with Gateway North early on an April morning as he was bicycling to his job at a local McDonald’s. Roberson was riding on the roadway’s shoulder, right of the fog line, and was doing everything right. Marine Sergeant Bryan Gullett, of MCAS New River’s VMMT-204 Osprey [...]
It’s a new year. And that means new goals. Many of my goals are the same as last year…Goals that I’ve failed at achieving. But, we never let failure stop us from trying to succeed. We’d really never get anything done if we did! There’s a number of things I want to do this year. [...]
Onslow Memorial Hospital (Twitter, Facebook) is seeking to pay mommy-bloggers and not offering equal opportunities to dads. It’s a move I’ve called sexist, ignorant and foolish.

My week is almost over. I’m off tomorrow at Noon until Monday. So, yays for me. If you thought recent dramas in Jacksonville were over, you were wrong. The folks at Americans for Prosperity have attacked Mr. Phillip Cherry (Director of the Onslow County Library System) for sending out an email requesting citizens speak at [...]

Isn’t that nice?" And it was, it was very nice…But it wasn’t to last very long. Follow the jump for details.

Congratulations on your appointment to the [...]
