Cashless bail actually reduces the costs for housing defendants, especially for non-violent crimes and the less fortunate […]

Ahh, Wednesday morning showed that the Trump era of lies, denial, endorsements, rhetoric is finally waning. His 2022 pre-election selections only fared “ok”, with key Republican losses in the “Red Wave” becoming only a ripple in the overall pond of politics. Seems all those Trump waving flags and Red Hat lovers failed to muster enough […]

I would much rather write about...Just about anything else. Yes, this is a long column, perhaps too long for regular readers.  The problem is that I will keep […]
