speaking about the new Tallman Technologies tour starting at

County. State Senator Tim Cullen spoke about his experience serving
the public, his thoughts on Act 10, and ways to reverse it.
 Senator Cullen spoke about leaving the state with the other
Democratic State Senators in 2011 and explained his reasons for
doing so.   Speaking about the August 12th Democratic primary,
Senator Cullen criticized two of the candidates running for
State Senate.  Senator levied particularly harsh
criticisms against Mike Sheridan whom he accused of not accurately
explaining the process of reapportionment to the public, and not
being ready to be Speaker of Assembly when elected to the post in
2008, following a short time in the Assembly.  At
the same time, Senator Cullen  offered a strong endorsement of
his former aid Austin Scieszinski. President of Blackhawk Technical
College Dr. Eckert explained that passing the referendum on August
12th, is the only way for BTC to raise its budget. Dr.
Eckert made it clear that the $4 million increase sought in
the referendum is a permanent raise to the base, meaning that money
will be collected on property taxes year after year.  For

Chinese students - Bryan, Andrew and Chris - spending the summer in
