Having school start after Labor Day is a big help for us, and for other business in the community.

Our business is highly weather dependent.

My brother put us up for two weeks and the kids started school the day after Labor Day,

We not only help them integrate into the community and into the local labor market. But for a lot of folks these days, two-income households are important, particularly when the service member is deployed.

The business community is troubled that the House has again acquiesced to organized labor and the Rendell administration on matters of bad public policy.

I just wanted to get it out after Labor Day. Better to do it sooner rather than later.
