everyone, really—to volunteer in and visit our schools, if for no other reason than to expose kids to the professional

Bruce Hetrick is wrong in asserting that “We pray and protest under the protection of government” and that
“We … freely publish columns … because of government.” His assertions reveal the progressive mind-set
and belief that we receive our rights from government, and thus man

[Mickey Maurer’s Sept. 21] column was right on! Totally to the point and about time someone stated the obvious. When
will this country begin once again to make people pay for their crime(s)?

When I was a kid growing up in Kentucky, no business was conducted on Sunday at all. On a rare occasion my dad would

I sat in Beth-El Zedeck Temple for the funeral services of Melvin Simon. The various speakers spoke of Mel’s desire

With the uncertainty surrounding health care reform, only
one thing seems definite: Some level of change is coming. In that light, employers have two options: Fret over the impact
these changes might have on their businesses, or act now, meeting the needs of today while forging a plan for addressing a
changed landscape.

I urge you, as comprehensive health care reform is considered before Congress, to realize that the best way to expand
access to health insurance is to work toward containing health care costs.

In his Aug. 31 column, Morton Marcus dared to paint those who question the role of government on certain issues as misinformed,
narrow-minded and in constant need of reminding of their “obligations.” How arrogant!

Bruce Hetrick’s patronizing and dismissive reference [in his Aug. 24 column] to the idea of death panels (“There
is,
of course, no such clause or intent in any health-reform legislation”) is insulting to any reader who has followed the
debate over health care reform.

B&T certainly has enough of our taxpayer dollars to do this thanks to Mayor Ballard. Given the firm's exceedingly poor reputation in the legal community, the basement would seem a better option.
Should read MAY hire 20 people.
Not a good location for a 300,000 home. 10th Street fumes, buses, noise. Max for this location 150,000.
The state constitution also does not say that the majority has a right to quorum, nor that the minority is required to allow them quorum. In fact, denial of quorum has been a parliamentary maneuver since the establishment of the first parliaments in the early 1600s. The right to deny quorum (and the requirement fore quorum) are to prevent exactly what happened in Indiana: A tyrannical majority pushing through odious, objectionable legislation. Denial of quorum is totally legitimate, and lest we forget, a tactic the GOP has employed many, many times to ensure their issues weren't given short shrift. By allowing the majority to impose "fines" on the minority for exercising the authority the constitution grants them (to deny quorum,) they are violating the constitution.
