Eager for the U.S. to intervene in yet another country's internal political structure, Republicans Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich have spoken out against Fidel Castro's government in Cuba with former House Speaker Gingrich calling for a 'Cuban Spring'.
In a political ploy that will result in increased tensions should either candidate become President, Gingrich said at an event in Miami, "I don't think it's ever occurred to a single person in the White House to look south and propose a 'Cuban Spring.'". He declared that if he became President, he would use "moral pressure, psychological pressure, information pressure, economic pressure, covert assistance". He also stated that the U.S. would work to ensure that the Castro government would not continue following the death of Fidel Castro.

HRM Support: Surprisingly Receptive
Those familiar with the Bayers Lake business park realize that the area is incredibly inconvenient for pedestrians to navigate in the winter. Sidewalks are sparse and often unconnected to one another. Recently, the major bus route servicing the park changed its route from going through the parking lot to along the main road. This results in an incredible inconvenience, as many of the the drop-off/pick-up points lack sidewalks for pedestrians to walk along, forcing them to walk along the road to avoid traversing through high snow banks. For the elderly, those with strollers, and small children, this is an especially treacherous venture.
