The JCOC dorms need new windows. I, The Window Man, am donating my time and labor, but need your help for the rest. Donate $15 and have your name written on the wall to the right. Donate $150 or more and have your name engraved on the windows you helped purchase. Please join me on this important mission. Help the JCOC continue to empower families and individuals to become more productive and independent members of our community.

In our current situation, it is necessary that "we the people" take a stance to protect our jobs, our property, and most importantly our future.The subprime mortgage is no longer in the news; however, it is still having its large scale affects on our economy and general wellbeing, nationwide. The bailout supposedly fixed the banking industry, but yet banks still are not lending. Coupled with the loss of jobs and health insurance, people are still losing their homes, and this has caused our homes' values to dwindle. Instead of lending to the homeowner to help procure a more stable future, banks are using bailout money to trade amongst themselves making profits that are paid out in the form of bonuses to those who are already grossly rich.This is not acceptable.
On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed a stimulus bill (The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) that made some significant changes to the energy efficiency tax credits. The highlights are:
The tax credits that were previously effective for 2009, have been extended to 2010 as well.
The tax credit has been raised from 10% to 30%.
The tax credits that were for a specific dollar amount (ex $300 for a CAC), have been converted to 30% of the cost.
The maximum credit has been raised from $500 to $1500 for the two years (2009–2010). However, some improvements such as geothermal heat pumps, solar water heaters, and solar panels are not subject to the $1,500 maximum.
