State duties, family duties collide

We pause in our thrilling episode of trying to write the new $80 billion state budget before a self-imposed June 30 deadline, to dive into a topic that seldom gets any media attention because who really cares about the personal family sacrifices made by elected officeholders? 06/19/2024 04:23 PM

Threat to democracy

Threat to democracy

To the editor: Political and media messages exclaim be afraid of immigrants, that what you value will be taken away, and conspiracies: all needing a strongman to set things right. My “beach read”, Dame Mary Beard’s (PhD.) book, “The Emperor of Rome”, illustrates how a 500-year-old republic falls to a strongman claiming he can set things right, with the Roman Senators acting as, “cowards and flatterers who readily traded their freedom for wealth and political success” and supported the Caesars. 06/19/2024 04:23 PM

Support for childhood millage

Support for childhood millage

To the editor: I’m often awed watching my 3-year-old grandson play; sometimes it feels like I can “see” his brain working! In fact, I am witnessing his developing brain! Research says the biggest growth spurt of the human brain is during the first 1,000 days of life — that’s when the most-used neural pathways are strengthened and those not used are pruned. Early life experiences, both healthy and traumatic, literally determine the physical architecture of a child’s brain — and consequently, have a major impact on future life outcomes. 06/19/2024 04:23 PM
