    TEP’s goal, including with its PR blitz, is maximizing profits; Mayes’ goal, as a legally vested consumer advocate, is maximizing public protection.

      E pluribus unum, “out of many, one”, remain three of the most important words in American history. Out of individuals, one population with all its differences.

          Court rulings against Trump prove our democracy still works | Boston Herald

            It must have been a confounding day for No Kings protesters.
