- Fixing health care before we're all bankrupt
-
Per capita health-care costs jumped 90 percent between 1993 and 2005. We're paying twice as much as countries that insure all its citizens. In return for our hard-earned money, we face higher infant mortality rates, lower life expectancy and an inferior product.
- Taxpayers crushed between a rock and a stone
-

- Property-tax relief for all takes a sucker punch
-
Efforts to gain property-tax relief for all homeowners took one on the chin in the state House of Representatives.
