• ; Politics Is a Joint Venture in Wyoming County Town

Much like the ham and eggs they dish up on a Sunday morning every other year, Republicans and Democrats in this small Wyoming County town have concocted a unique and appealing recipe for clean elections and good government. Together -- that's right, together -- they host a breakfast and auction, a kind of biennial bipartisan reminder of why politics in their small slice of the world is so different than, say, Albany or Washington.

• Putting Taxes On the Map: Federal Tax Burdens by City, County, Congressional District and State

This report presents the Tax Foundation's most detailed portrait of the geographic spread of the federal tax burden to date. It provides estimates of all federal taxes - individual income taxes, corporate income taxes, payroll taxes, estate taxes and all federal excise taxes - by major city area, county, congressional district and state, illustrating the striking diversity of impact that federal tax policies established by Congress have on communities across the US. It should come as no surprise that America's richest cities also bear the nation's highest federal tax burdens. The average household in Stamford-Norwalk paid a staggering $82,745 in federal taxes in 2004 - more than double any other city in America. The number one low-tax city in America is the McAllen-Endinburg-Mission are...

• Robert Rector: The L.A. County Fair and Your Inner Neanderthal

Years ago, when I was a fresh-faced editor at a large downtown metropolitan newspaper, I asked a grizzled veteran reporter to do a story on the L.A. County Fair. It wasn't the greatest story idea I ever pulled out of my back pocket. Indeed, newspapers large and small in Southern California seem somehow obligated to do county fair stories each and every year.
