• Guadagno Embraces New Clout of Office

Kim Guadagno, the state's first lieutenant governor, sits poised to wield expanded power over the most contentious areas in the struggle between developers and business regulators. Unless the Legislature blocks the move, Guadagno -- a Republican and the only lieutenant governor in the nation who also serves as a secretary of state -- assumes broad powers over critical areas where businesses want advantages: planning and zoning guidelines, business retention programs, including possible tax incentives, and the struggle for balance between development and environmental rules.

• Global Environmental Products Revives Production

Street sweeper manufacturer Global Environmental Products is in the Inland Empire because its founders wanted to take advantage of local tax incentives and hire employees who know the business, the company's president said. I said to my partners, 'If we are going to start this business, where can we start a business where it's going to pick up momentum quickly?" said Walter Pusic, president of San Bernardino-based Global Environmental Products.

• The Mayor Needs to Find New Answers

The [C. Ray Nagin] administration's indifference to environmental concerns isn't shocking. This summer the Jim Lehrer News Hour wanted to do a story on environmental degradation around New Orleans, and Tamie Frazier, the mayor's press secretary, brushed them off because she was unaware of who Jim Lehrer was and didn't think New Orleans had any environmental risks. Attaining information from the Nagin administration, whether as a citizen, an employee or a member of the press, was always difficult. The communications department was oddly secretive and seemed more concerned about the color of the mayor's chair than damage control or encouraging the mayor to edit his message. (Remember his grimly predicted death toll? Fortunately off by nearly 9,000.) Given Nagin's business acumen, his...

• Means Testing of Medicare ; Popular with Voters

The current financial crisis teaches us why people should not live beyond their means. The rash of real estate foreclosures demonstrates the risks of Americans purchasing homes they can't afford. Easy credit also allowed many to run up extravagant debt in other consumer purchases. Reasonable borrowing is obviously necessary for the sound functioning of the economy. But "over- leveraging" has its downsides - consequences we're seeing all around us today in the economic slowdown and sharp dip in equity markets. In the midst of all this private sector upheaval, we're witnessing unprecedented demands for even more federal spending. Just this year, Congress passed two economic stimulus bills - one early in the year and then another later providing loan guarantees to auto companies to help wi...

• Captive Island

Puerto Rico's Legislature approved the island as an international and offshore captive domicile in September 2004, via public laws that took effect in March 2005, establishing the island's International and Offshore Insurance Center. Captive insurers mean tax revenues for Puerto Rico, and captives are a clean, nonmanufacturing industry that does not add to environmental pollution, said Ruben Gely, director of the center. The island has been offering tax incentives to business since the 1950s; those incentives have already been extended to the island's international banking center, and are now being offered to the insurance industry. So far, Puerto Rico has just one authorized captive: international reinsurer Oceanus Re. It is classified as a Class 3 insurer, which means it provided a $1...
