State Sen. Bob Dutton, please stop. Enough with the propaganda, the meaningless clichs, the code words and your fuzzy math. Senator, after reading your opinion pieces for years now there is one theme that runs through them all. You demonize anyone who disagrees with you and you never provide a solution.
Stop trying to scare us with that old Reagan quote that leads one to believe that all civil servants are worthless. They are not. It seems in San Bernardino County the only worthless ones are those who are elected or are political appointees. Just a thought, by definition you, Sir, are a public servant too.

[Hillary Clinton] has taken the bold and audacious step of running to become America's first woman President. She has always been willing to stand up for the least of us to make all of America better for all of us. In all the years I've known Hillary Clinton she has always kept her commitments and that's just one of the reasons I will keep mine. More than 60 years ago, Eleanor Roosevelt and Mary McLeod Bethune, formed an extraordinary alliance to make America better. The challenges feeing our country require another such alliance: Hillary Clinton is my Eleanor Roosevelt and we are her Mary McLeod Bethune, fighting side by side to restore the promise of America.
When I vote for president this time, I am borrowing a phrase from my husband-we don't seek "perfect servants" but "public serva...

This article examines the federal government's growing use of 18 USC § 1346 to prosecute public company executives for breaching their fiduciary duties. Section 1346 is a controversial but under-examined statute making it a felony to engage in a scheme "to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services." Although enacted by Congress over twenty years ago, the Supreme Court repeatedly declined to review the statute, until now. The questions before the Supreme Court are of particular interest to public company executives and their professional advisors. Traditionally, Delaware law has governed the content and enforcement of executives' legal duties, largely protecting public company fiduciaries from civil liability. Now, with the emergence of honest services fraud as a weapon ...

Theories of coercion exist across multiple disciplines to explicate the ability of one actor, the coercer, to diminish the free will of another, the coercee, in the absence of overt physical force. A valid claim of coercion places legal blame on the coercer or relinquishes the coercee from legal responsibility for a coerced act or omission. Defining the point at which coercion occurs, however, is the conceptually more difficult task. Recently, coercion has emerged as a significant source of analytic concern in a developing area of the law-contemporary involuntary labor or human trafficking. It is in this setting where coercion is explicitly codified as a fundamental legal element in human-trafficking crimes. However, the laws addressing human trafficking continue to struggle with deline...
