government officials merged Winnipeg and 11 suburbs in to a "unicity."
From: NewsTrove.com
"It's a city that never lived up to the dreams of its founders, who envisioned a Chicago of the prairie, only to end up with something more akin to Milwaukee.
Even Glen Murray, Winnipeg's civic booster and former mayor, freely acknowledges, "We're an easy place to fly over."
But this is not a city of moderation, in its snowfall or its politics.
A 1919 general strike that ended bloodily with the deaths of two workers still hardens the political left here. So when a band of avowed socialists won control of the Manitoba Legislature in the anything-goes zeitgeist of 1969, Winnipeg was primed for dramatic change."

From: NewsTrove.com
"State District Judge John Dietz gave the Legislature a year to remedy
deep-rooted problems in the $30 billion system.
"I don't agree with the details of Judge Dietz's opinion, but I do agree
that we need to reform public education, empower our good teachers to do
a better job, lower property taxes and reform how we pay for our
schools," Mr. Dewhurst said Friday.
Both Mr. Dewhurst and House Speaker Tom Craddick said the new school
funding plan must include a new tax on business that has a low rate but
is broad-based enough to cover most businesses in the state."

"COMMUNITY COLUMNIST: Certainties: Death, taxes, corruption
By JIM NAUGLER La Crosse
Benjamin Franklin said the two things certain in life are death and taxes. He forgot the third - corruption.
Corruption is universal, and corruption pays. A sample list of lucrative corrupt acts reads like the seven deadly (or at least nearly mortal) sins: embezzlement, extortion, bribery, theft, dodging duties, patronage and nepotism.
Corruption can corrode the rule of law, erode governmental legitimacy, stifle incentives to invest, and trample property rights and human rights. Can corruption help bring down a superpower? A few former Soviets might agree."

Beware bite of loans and chomps from dog
From: NewsTrove.com
"By Robert S. Kutner/ Q&A
Friday, September 17, 2004
Q Last year my daughter built an addition to her home. Rather than take out a $50,000 bank loan at 6 percent interest, she borrowed the money from me. She agreed to repay me over five years at 5 percent annual interest. This was good for both of us, since I was only earning 2.5 percent at my bank. How should I handle the interest payments on my federal income-tax return?
A Internal Revenue Service regulations make lending money to relatives much more complicated than you'd expect."
