A Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to retain certain exempt property, but the debtor’s remaining property is gathered and sold by a trustee from which creditors will receive payment. It may also be used by businesses which wish to terminate their business.

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables debtors, through court supervision and protection, to propose and carry out a repayment plan under which creditors are paid, in full or in part, in installments over a three-year period. During that time, debtors are prohibited from starting or continuing collection efforts.

The following bankruptcies declared by Calhoun County residents were recorded by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Alabama last week:

States struggle for financing to meet road needs

By Cristina Silva and Joan Lowy Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — The Hoover Dam, one of the world’s great engineering feats, is marred by roads with traffic so jammed along the Nevada-Arizona border that it tells a different story about the political will to maintain 21st century infrastructure.

The road leading to the dam cannot accommodate the torrent of tourists and spills them into the overwhelmed little town of Boulder City. Nevada lawmakers are trying to find a private company to build a $400 million bypass because the state can’t afford it.

The phrase “you can’t get there from here” is increasingly apt nearly everywhere one turns. America’s roads, highways, bridges and transit systems are falling apart. Even those not in disrepair are often so crowded that a horse and buggy might seem faster. Cities and suburbs are outgrowing their infrastructure far faster than local governments can find the money to fix them.

While the problem is plain to all, the money and the political will to fix it isn’t there.

Two congressionally mandated commissions and a slew of experts and committees have said the nation needs to double, even quadruple, what it spends each year to maintain and repair its aging transportation infrastructure and expand to accommodate population growth.

So there’s the rub. No one likes traffic jams and potholes. No one wants people to die because an unsafe bridge has collapsed. But raising federal gas and diesel taxes or boosting tolls and fees isn’t popular, either.

Pew Center polls in the last year show that 67 percent of those questioned said their state should not cut money for roads and public transit to balance its budget.

But only 38 percent want federal spending increased and only 27 percent favor an increase in the gas tax that often pays for it.

At the same time, three-quarters say more spending on roads, bridges and other public works would help create jobs.

“The American public has turned selfish. They don’t really want to invest in this stuff,” said Robert Atkinson, a technology think tank executive who helped lead one of the federal transportation commissions.

“It’s akin to leaving your house to your kids when you die without fixing the roof because you wanted to spend the money instead on Florida vacations.”

In Delaware, officials have delayed dozens of capital projects, but still expected a

pay for them.

Republicans want the programs to be funded almost entirely through existing transportation taxes, primarily the 18.4 cents per gallon federal gas tax and 24.4 cents per gallon federal diesel tax. But revenue from the taxes is declining as people drive less and buy more fuel-efficient cars.

GOP Rep. John Mica of Florida, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, has proposed a six-year, $230 billion plan that would slash annual transportation spending by about 30 percent.

Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, who heads the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, has developed a plan that would last only two years and cost $109 billion. But it would maintain current spending levels with some adjustment for inflation.

Federal inaction is “a big variable, right now,” Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, said recently. “You wouldn’t have thought so because it’s been routinely extended in the past, but some of these guys in Congress really do believe that bridges are like trees and if you leave them alone long enough they grow taller and stronger with age, so it’s hard to say.”

At the state level, 21 states cut transportation money last year even with a $48.1 billion infusion of federal stimulus dollars for road projects, according to the National Conference of State Legislators. The proportion of spending on transportation at the state level has held steady at 9 percent since 1995.

“People need to understand all across America what’s at stake,” said Tony Dorsey of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.

Ed Garcia does.

The 24-year-old travels from Arizona to Nevada once a month to visit his girlfriend and often gets stuck in traffic near the Hoover Dam. The federal government last year opened a four-lane bypass that routed traffic from a bottleneck near the Hoover Dam to a new U.S. 93 bridge. But traffic remains severe west of the span, near where U.S. 93 connects with U.S. 95 in Boulder City.

“You sit in traffic for hours not moving,” Garcia said. “There’s this one road that goes through town, and everyone is on it.”

State legislators aren’t any more eager than members of Congress to raise their gas tax to fix roads. In Maryland, Delaware, Utah and Wyoming, lawmakers rejected gas tax increases to pay for new road work because, they said, residents couldn’t afford higher taxes.

American Pickers, 8 p.m. on History Channel: In this new episode the guys take a drive through Michigan during a freak spring snowstorm and check out an interesting old Cadillac for sale, plus a 50,000square-foot warehouse in downtown Detroit that’s full of cars and other items.

The Playboy Club, 9 p.m. on NBC: Watching this new drama, set at Chicago’s then brand-new Playboy Club in the 1960s, you’ll be surprised to discover you’ve learned more about the Playboy Club culture in a single hour than you have in a lifetime. And the cast is superb, including Mr. LeAnn Rimes, Eddie Cibrian, composed and elegant as key holder Nick Dalton, and Broadway standout Laura Benanti as a complex smarty-pants who has more of a mind for business than bunny tales.

Hawaii Five-0, 9 p.m. on CBS: As the hit police drama opens its second season, Danny (Scott Caan) brings a surprise visitor to help clear McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin), who is cooling his heels in prison awaiting trial for murder. Spoiler alert: It’s “Locke,” the cool old dude from Lost. Kono (Grace Park), meanwhile, is suspended from the force pending an internal investigation in the new episode.

The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen, 9 p.m. on Comedy Central: Charlie Sheen should be comic gold after he immolated his highpaying gig on Two and a Half Men and all the bridges connected to it.
