Tax and Spending Reduction:
Public arenas, fiscal failures
Securing tax dollars for a new arena may give
local politicians something to crow about. But it’s not a good deal for
taxpayers.
School Choice:
Honesty is charter school’s best policy
A charter high school in inner-city San Diego
helps poor and disadvantaged kids beat the odds.
Labor Freedom:
Compulsory unionism harms workers, businesses
As the only southern state without a
right-to-work law, Kentucky misses out on the economic growth that
occurs when workers are freed from the shackles of forced unionism.
Health Care Reform:
Medical malpractice suits increase health-care costs
Costly litigation must bear at least some of
the blame for Kentucky’s skyrocketing health-care costs.
That’s Outstanding!:
Pruning Frankfort’s fiscal jungle
Gov. Fletcher gets credit for navigating
Frankfort’s spending jungle with taxpayers’ sickle in one hand and a
campaign promise in the other.
That’s Outrageous!:
Control spending, not beavers
A new category known as “beaver control” was
added to last year’s budget. Perhaps a new category known as “spending
control” should be made part of this year’s budget.
