• Op-Ed: Bankrupt Vallejo Now Austerity Model

The first couple of years were ugly. After this working-class port city became the largest in America to declare bankruptcy in 2008, crime and prostitution surged as the police force was thinned by 40 percent. Firehouses were shuttered, and funding for libraries and senior centers was slashed. Foreclosures multiplied and home prices plummeted. But then this city of 116,000 began to reinvent itself. It started using technology to fill personnel gaps, rallying residents to volunteer to provide public services and offering local voters the chance to decide how money would be spent - in return for an increase in the sales tax. For the first time in five years, the city expects to have enough money to do such things as fill potholes, clear weeds, trim trees and repair tennis courts.

Budget cuts will make us pay more for health care A leaner federal budget might be the order of the day in the Washington, D.C., but in our Washington, the solution is not so simple.

With modern agricultural practices in our state and across the nation under attack, growers are standing up for legal and appropriate use of the chemical tools that make conventional farms successful.

• Costing Consumers Billions of Dollars, Says Cftp Op-Ed in the Hill

WASHINGTON, July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a recent op-ed, Bruce Edelston, executive director of the Coalition for Fair Transmission Policy, warned that electricity prices could become the next flashpoint in the nation's capital if the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission proceeds on July 21 with a transmission proposal that burdens consumers with the costs of new electric facilities from which they receive little or no benefits. FERC action on cost allocation for new transmission should ensure the lowest reasonable cost to consumers, not the largest possible subsidies to clean energy developers and transmission companies," stated the op-ed in The Hill newspaper, a prominent print and online Washington publication for and about Congress.
