Adjournment

Vandalism

 The feds are looking for whomever vandalized the Federal Building last week.  Here is a photo of the "person of interest" but apparently they are not looking too hard as the reward is only $1000.  Make it $10,000 and you would have a line out the door waiting to turn him in.

Federal Building Vandalism

 The Paul Simon Federal Building got vandalized sometime on Tuesday and the DOJ is promising to find whomever did it.  I walked around the building this after noon and, if there was vandalism, it was cleaned up very quickly. The only sign I saw of any vandalism was a sand blasted area on the east side of the building where it looked as if some one had spray pained graffiti.
