The Good, but Mostly Bad, in Congress’ Big Budget Deal

As if Americans need one more reminder of the dysfunction in congress, last night Congressional leaders announced a 2,000 page omnibus budget, demonstrating again their inability to pass a budget through normal procedure.

A Must in Maryland: Voter Education

Maryland’s new and improved paper voting system is finally here, ready to be used for the first time in our 2016 elections. We have a chance with this new system to encourage democracy!

Pfizer Deal Strengthens Case for Executive Order Requiring Transparency in Political Spending

The tax inversion provisions Allergan and Pfizer are about to exploit are well-known and could easily be eliminated.
