What led to the defeat of I-1100 and 1105 was successful negative campaigning. Legislators should consider passing a more complete version of liquor store privatization. Privatization should not lead to fewer public revenues. In fact, with appropriate taxes and permits, private liquor sales may actually lead to a windfall for ...

The only requirement of employers is that they follow the federal Form I-9 process when hiring all employees.

Chris, I have to disagree with you on this point. Non-partisan does not mean that people on a board, committee, or other elected office do not find common ground and form alliances/caucuses. It means those officials are not beholden to an outside political organization. Within each of the two major ...

Eliminate parties from the ballot altogether: We're still focused too much on parties and a candidate's party affiliation. The glory of the new top-two primary is that the electorate is forced to look at a person's political platform, not a collective's platform. The emphasis on the individual (rather than parties) ...
