Political 'leaders' have absolute power to direct actions of our law enforcement officers but they must know the direction in which to lead

37 years ago today, Elizabeth Taylor presented Michael Jackson with the Heritage Award at the 1989 Soul Train Music Awards and called him 'the true king of pop, rock and soul.' That night, Michael Jackson became the King of Pop.

In journalism we’re used to pointing out problems, not solving them. This was a chance to think differently and offer Baltimore kids and parents solutions. Take a look and tell us what you think. thebanner.com/education/k-12…

We set out to see if there were solutions. And we found at least one: It would get 35,000 students to school using yellow buses, vans and cars — in one trip.

We investigated just how bad the problem was. Turns out it’s terrible — a quarter of city buses that students take in the morning don’t show up on time. Or at all. And the result is Baltimore’s kids are left behind — often failing their first-period classes.

For more than a decade I’ve heard Baltimore students and parents complain about the messy and sometimes dangerous process of getting to school. And for more than a decade school leaders have ignored the problem.

Auto insurance must be better regulated by those with the power to control it. When Md drivers register in VA, We Lose. VA Wins. The power elite must crack down on rip-off insurance carriers, not merely the drivers trying to survive and thrive! open.substack.com/pub/jill69…
