Off topic. Home for jokes and other misc. stuff.
Keep it reasonable.

The beginning of the end was Jane's $10 million real estate purchase.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/burlington-college-jane-sanders-close-223222

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ wife made a big-ticket purchase during her tenure as head of a small, private college in Vermont — and, in the end, the institution got burned.

Burlington College, which Jane Sanders ran from 2004 to 2011, will close its doors on May 27 due to financial and accrediting problems, it was announced Monday. The college has about 70 students.

Jane Sanders’ tenure as president of the tiny school in Burlington, Vt., saw it make a bold real estate purchase to replace its cramped quarters: Sanders spearheaded a deal to buy 33 acres along Lake Champlain, in hopes that the scenic property would help the college attract new students and donors. To pay for the prime lakefront land, the college used $10 million in bonds and loans, according to reports by the Burlington Free Press.

But the large expenditure didn’t pan out, Sanders resigned the following year, and her successors could not save the college from financial ruin.

"Neither Sanders nor the college has said why she left, but she reportedly got a $200,000 severance package."

Our ex-former Co.supervisor had bought the land he intended on building a community center on, of course all land improvements and building were funded by the County...then leased the land to the county...recently he conned the current Supervisor into buying the land...at more than 10X what he paid for it 15yrs ago...County had been paying a hefty lease to him all that time...and a 10X profit...Sweet deal huh?

Politicians....They're ALL crooks...every last one...

Why the severance package? She took a $200K severance from a floundering college - a situation created because of her financial incompetence. Please tell me how these socialists are for the working people? They suck at "work"

I am switching parties from Republican to Democrat so that I may vote for Bernie Sanders in the California primary.
I will use my vote for both good and evil. :D

You're mistaken since it's a Presidential primary and he's registered GOP - http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/political-parties/no-party-preference/.

Modified Closed Primary System for Presidential Elections
California's current "modified" closed primary system for Presidential elections was chaptered on September 29, 2000 and took effect on January 1, 2001. Senate Bill 28 (Ch. 898, Stats. 2000) implemented a "modified" closed primary system that permitted voters who had declined to provide a political party preference (formerly known as "decline to state" voters) to participate in a primary election if authorized by an individual party's rules and duly noticed by the Secretary of State.

Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act and Voter-Nominated Offices
The Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act, which took effect January 1, 2011, requires that all candidates for a voter-nominated office be listed on the same ballot. Previously known as partisan offices, voter-nominated offices are state legislative offices, U.S. congressional offices, and state constitutional offices. Only the two candidates receiving the most votes—regardless of party preference—move on to the general election regardless of vote totals.

Write-in candidates for voter-nominated offices can only run in the primary election. However, a write-in candidate can only move on to the general election if the candidate is one of the top two vote-getters in the primary election.

Additionally, there is no independent nomination process for a general election. California's new open primary system does not apply to candidates running for U.S. President, county central committee, or local offices.

Party-Nominated/Partisan Offices

Under the California Constitution, political parties may formally nominate candidates for party-nominated/partisan offices at the primary election. A candidate so nominated will then represent that party as its official candidate for the office in question at the ensuing general election and the ballot will reflect an official designation to that effect. The top votegetter for each party at the primary election is entitled to participate in the general election. Parties also elect officers of official party committees at a partisan primary.

No voter may vote in the primary election of any political party other than the party he or she has disclosed a preference for upon registering to vote. However, a political party may authorize a person who has declined to disclose a party preference to vote in that party's primary election.
