Get to work
It appears as though our governor is getting his priorities mixed up. He is making a big push for clean energy. However, he is stepping back and getting bewildered by the cost of air conditioning for our students and teachers.
Welcome to the real world, governor. Construction business is up, therefore so are prices.
Are you going to let our teachers and students sweat in our warm climate, or will you get off your duff and get the job done?

‘Finding Dory’
I was thrilled to the gills that again “Finding Dory” was the nation’s box office leader last week, by an almost 2-1 margin. Here is a delightful Disney animated movie about Dory, a lost blue tang — saddled with short-term memory loss — who is befriended by an octopus named Hank, a snarly and grumpy old cephalopod mollusk.
It was a welcomed sight to see how we Americans spent our entertainment dollars these past two weeks, choosing a fish story over the other features that were about guns and violence and witchcraft — all showing at the same time “Finding Dory” was playing in the same multiplex.
Perhaps we needed a 105-minute breather from Orlando, Brexit, ISIS and presidential politics, and “Finding Dory” was just the diversion our country needed.
I plan to see the movie again, and maybe again after that. It was that good, and I’m 71 years old.
