Hello world!

I’ve been very frustrated that important information and context for our national policy making and politics is not being provided by our mainstream media. Although the information is available, most people don’t have the time to do the searching to find it. Often it is buried in pieces that are too long and cumbersome for most people to wade through to find the kernels of important information.

Therefore, I started a policy and politics newsletter in Novemeber, and am now turning it into a blog. I write concise, focused pieces that you can read in a few minutes. Key points are bolded so you can skim the posts very quickly. I will provide links to sources and to more detail, so if there is a topic you are particularly interested in you can pursue it in more depth.

Each  issue of my newsletter has been migrated to this blog as a post.

Please sign up to “FOLLOW” my blog, which means you’ll get an email of each new post.

I encourage you to comment on the posts, current and past ones, thereby becoming a participant in the discussion of these issues.  I and other readers are interested in your reactions and thoughts.
