Political cartoonists from across the country react to renewed fighting in Iran.
For almost 10 years I volunteered working the Pima County polls. I am very familiar with the process and can attest to the legitimacy, honesty and high-quality of how our county has run its elections. The only time I ever remember anyone questioning our election integrity was when Trump star…
Last night i watched Trump's address to the nation online. It started with his usual story of how great this country is doing, how great he is, etc. Then he got into the 2020 "stolen" election, with his opinions on rampant voter fraud, hacking by foreign governments, thousands of illegal imm…
ACC Commissioner Marquez Peterson discussed reliable and affordable energy but provided no information regarding either. Texas demonstrates that renewable energy (33% of the total) is very reliable. Burning fossil fuels costs more than solar or wind. The current costs in cents per kWh are: s…
Sharon Bronson served on the Pima County Board of Supervisors for way too long. And now as a retired mediocre politician, she forgets every Pima County Democrat who helped put her and remain in office and throws her support for Trump’s yes guy, CD 6 incumbent Ciscomaga. Fortunately, Bronson’…
Having worked 15 years in farm labor organizing during my life, I’ve paid attention to the news of the cyclosporiasis epidemic and its sources in fresh produce. Part of that work was in the Yuma/San Luis area where I sometimes differed with the conservative Western Growers Association (WGA) …

The median house price in Nantucket, Massachusetts, is nearly $4 million. It was just $500,000 in 1995. This sounds like a stunning increase in one of the hottest and least accessible real estate markets in the country. What’s even more stunning is the stock market: If you invested $500,000 in the S&P 500 Index in 1995, you’d have more than $8.2 million today, even more if you reinvested the dividends you earned.
