Editorial: Legislature rewrote SC voucher law, but didn't close the fraud loophole
More than a third of parents who received $1,500 voucher payments last fall weren't eligible, but the Education Department never tried to claw back the money.

Oh good. At least we know that members of Congress and all the Capitol Hill staffers will continue to get paid during the government shutdown. Now I can sleep at night.
How Capitol Hill is set to feel the government shutdown pain
A lot has changed since 2013, including guaranteed backpay for staff which could mean fewer furloughs in congressional offices.

Van Hollen is dead on. ABC caved to a bully and handed him a feast. Appeasement doesn’t tame tyrants it fattens them up. Every time the press bows, the bully grows bolder and we all pay the price. Time to stop feeding the beast and start fighting back.
