Volume XVII No.39: October 19, 2012 TAXPAYERS FOR COMMON SENSE-Two recent – but unrelated – decisions from the Golden State are likely to have wide-ranging implications for the nation’s transportation systems, and are important developments for taxpayers to watch in coming years. First, California got the go-ahead on the 130-mile first phase of its controversial high-speed rail (HSR) system; less than a week later, it passed legislation at the state level to allow the on-street use of autonomous – or self-driven – automobiles. We have pilloried the HSR plan as little more than California Dreamin’. The plan has a number... Read more →

source http://www.njsba.org TRENTON, October 19, 2012—When Gov. Chris Christie signed a measure into law earlier this year that allowed communities to change their school election from April to the November General Election, one reason cited was increasing public participation. While more people may vote in November, the New Jersey School Boards Association discovered a slight decrease in people running for their board of education. The April school elections – in which voters in over 90 percent of school districts elected board members and decided school budgets – have typically attracted about 15 percent of voters. This year, communities that moved... Read more →

That Dictates Procedure to Physicians Posted 10/19/2012 | AMAC In Action, Press Releases BOHEMIA, NY, Oct 19 – “It’s a nightmare scenario,” said Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens. “A layman, the Secretary of Health and Human Resources, gets the power to make life and death decisions on how our doctors care for us.” Yet, Weber points out, Section 1311 in ObamaCare states plainly that the Secretary has the authority to regulate contracts between qualified health plans and health care providers based on findings of health care quality. “In other words, a government appointee, not our...
