Because the doctor was just that awesome? Or you leaving something out?
Like-he worked in a rural or underserved area for so many years.

Cancer-linked?
Not sure that is enough to eliminate material that prevents fire.

re: Social Security could end in 2035

SS won't end in 2035, benefits will just be reduced according to existing law.

[quote]The only thing anyone brings up is Article 7. If that’s the goal, you don’t need a convention, especially since the “delegates” are the legislators.

If the legislature makes the district a thing, then it is an issue. Otherwise, EBRPSS discriminating based on municipality is a problem.[/quote]
