Yawwwnnnn
Let's see...
Appeals court says reporters can go to jail for exposing spies (or not answering legitimate questions in an investigation related to the same). Check.
Unemployment claims at the lowest in 4 years (Hi Club!). Check.
Class action reform passed today. Most class actions now get removed to Federal Court. Check.
And did anyone read the article in yesterday's NYT about Buffalo NY (Erie, CO) slashing discretionary spending drastically... and noting that a great part of their spending is the result of unfunded state and federal mandates? Great article. My guess is that the unfunded mandates help accelerate the decline in places like Buffalo and Chicago, as college grads and companies (read: tax base) move to greener pastures and the stagnant or declining tax base has less funds to subsidize services for poor people, the number of whom may increase as college grads and companies move to greener pastures. Unlike Chicago, the people of Erie County balked, actually it sounds like they rioted civilly, at the prospect of higher local sales taxes etc. God Bless Buffalo, I guess.
and if nothing else, at least one Philadelphia lawyer can tell great stories.
