Watergate, whose 50th anniversary is upon us, is remembered for the question: "What did the president know and when did he know it?" But in our age of post-truth politics, the question loses its punch. The Jan. 6 committee devoted the second of its public hearings to demonstrating beyond doubt ...
Much has been said about the possibility of a school district split. Let me share a few of my thoughts. Should a study be done? The mayor and the city council voted in favor of having a study done. My reason for agreeing to a study was to evaluate the pros and cons of a district split. I am ...
President Joe Biden is taking victory laps for last year's reduced budget deficit. No one would be happier than me to see this number fall in a significant way. But the decline has nothing to do with the president's policies, and it changes little about the dangers of our fiscal ...
