But now ... more

This is a goldmine of information about Pennsylvania Open Records laws both at state AND municipal level. If this is to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people, then “we, the people” or, at least, some of us who are fascinated by the workings of our government can follow the money and the activities of our elected and appointed officials.

It seems that Froma Harrop of Creator’s Syndicate news service was on vacation from just about five days before the general election until today and she’s just catching up on all the Palin hatin’ she must have missed. Unfortunately for Harrop, she still hasn’t caught up with the truth yet because her latest is filled with every lie about Governor Palin she could jam into one column, quite despite that for weeks her digs have been proven lies.

In two new reports, the journal Health Affairs took a critical eye to Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain ’s sweeping healthcare plans. Their assessment: neither plan is a panacea for what ails the American healthcare system. McCain’s plan would leave too many people uninsured and Obama’s plan would be too expensive to afford.
