April 17, 2013 First of all, you may ask, what is Ricin? Well, according to Wikipedia:
Ricin (pron.: /ˈraɪsɪn/), from the castor oil plant Ricinus communis, is a highly toxic, naturally occurring protein. A dose as small as a few grains of table salt can kill an adult human.
1:10 p.m. (EST): A third letter, this one sent to Senator Joe Manchin (D.-W.V.), has been found to contain ricin.
12:45 p.m. (EST): FBI spokesman Paul Bresson has confirmed that the substance found in the letter to the president was ricin.
The Secret Service says that a letter containing a suspicious substance and addressed to President Obama was received on Tuesday at a White House mail facility. This comes just after a letter sent to Senator Roger Wicker (R.-Miss.) was found to contain the poison ricin.
April 9, 2013 Bad news . . . this year, the IRS plans on checking FACEBOOK and TWITTER to see if you're cheating on your taxes. For example, let's say you write off a vacation as a business trip, but you really just went there on vacation. You post all those fun shots on FaceBook and BAM! they've got ya!
April 8, 2013 Let's face it, nobody wants to pay more taxes than absolutely necessary. the tax code is so long and involved that it's almost impossible to keep up with it all.
Still, there are a few deductions here and there that people just forget to take and they are fairly common, so here are 5 of them. maybe one (or more) of them will help you save a few dollars this year.
March 19, 2013 Remember...vote early and often. Now that I have that out of my system, believe it or not, it's time to vote again.
The April 6th ballot will feature some municipal races as well as a few tax items. If you don't want to wait for April to cast your vote, here's how to vote early. We also have a link so that you can look over the ballot.
March 18, 2013 Tomorrow, legislators will get a look at Governor Jindal's tax reform package. The governor favors eliminating the state personal and business income taxes in favor of raising sales taxes.
We'd like your opinion!
March 9, 2013 The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office is going to be conducting a DWI sobriety checkpoint this Saturday night March 9th somewhere in the parish. It is an ongoing effort to keep the highways and roadways safe.
March 5, 2013 It must have been tempting and I'm sure the Republican party would have liked to move Boustany into the Senate seat, but Boustany says he'll stay put in Congress.
January 25, 2013 If you couldn't make it to the 2013 Presidential Inauguration, have no fear. You can catch the highlights of the swearing in, speeches and songs right here! Well, we think its the swearing in, speeches and songs, but we weren't there either, so here's our best guess
January 18, 2013 I think it's safe to say that, if all the projects slated for SWLA come to fruition, we have a n incredible economic future.
In addition to the expansion at Sasol, the Port of Lake Charles has announced more expansion at that facility!
January 8, 2013 Did the president of the United States actually give the finger to another elected official?" Surely the president knows he is always on camera. Maybe he just has his fingers arranged in a certain way and did not realize it. Yeah ... that's the ticket!
