If this plan is approved, it will make Illinois the national leader (in early learning) hands-down.

This will be questioned; it will be challenged. But in the end, we have to accept that God is working his plan. That must be true, or this whole thing we're living is a big joke.

Can that land use be changed? We're coming back with a plan for the site, covenant-on and covenant-off.

Dave Reid

Fishing is just like playing baseball. You have to put a game plan together and you have to pre-fish. You try and get onto a pattern that the fish are doing.

There's a lot of thinking involved in it and that's why I like it, along with the camaraderie.

Phil Plantier

Always have a plan, and believe in it. Nothing happens by accident.

Chuck Knox

The better the information we have, the better we can plan. We're not perfect in our projections, but we are improving.

This has been a goal for a number of years, and I?m glad the plan has now become reality. Making the employees part owners is a big benefit to our customers, as well as the employees?. When a customer calls, they can speak with an owner.

Ken Baker

The Bush rate hike would have a devastating impact on our economy and jobs. I will not rest until the administration's plan is dead and gone.

Mari Adam

When you have one kid who is both a pitcher and a catcher, it's difficult because it's such a different mechanical delivery. Our plan is to use Josh a maximum of three to five innings (pitching) each week. If at the end of the year we need to use him more, we will.
