No Ethics Without Electoral Reform

March 26, 2009 By Ryan

Lots of talk on the Speakah's reform proposals. Lots of people applauded the Governor's reform proposals. I wasn't one of them, because it was mostly making already-illegal things more illegal. None of those ideas are bad, but if … [Read more...]

Unnacceptable Behaivor for Democrats

January 24, 2009 By Ryan

I don't have any real favorites coming into the race for Speaker. I view them both as somewhat of a step back from the progressive stewardship of Sal DiMasi - the person who got us near-universal health care, marriage equality and … [Read more...]
