Changes go into effect this year.
Opinion
To the editor:
Firefighters were politically bulletproof even before the terrorist attacks of 2001. The public regards the safety workers as heroes — and unlike police, they don’t write speeding tickets.
To promote the development of alternative fuels, which unfortunately cost a pantload, Congress in 2007 expanded the tax credit for using non-fossil fuels, offering firms 50 cents a gallon to blend renewable fuels such as ethanol with traditional fossil fuels like diesel.
To the editor:
I’d like to offer a word to the wise in both political parties. If the Democrats think the tea party protests held in hundreds of locations across the fruited plain on April 15 were only about taxes and President Obama’s proposals to raise taxes, and if Republicans think the tea parties were only about Obama and the Democrats, then both parties were reading the tea leaves entirely wrong.
The laws of war, as subscribed to by most civilized nations — even if adherence can be spotty — draw an important distinction between uniformed prisoners of war and irregulars who wear no recognizable uniform, the better to meld into the general populace of non-combatants in order to act as spies or saboteurs, blowing up military installations behind the lines.

Newspapers play a major role in conveying to the people this nation’s key decisions.
Compared to “voting against” kids with autism, voting for higher taxes is a walk in the park.
Let me get this straight. President Barack Obama is “open” to the prosecution and impeachment of Jay Bybee, a sitting federal judge, because of an opinion — an opinion?! — the man rendered before he became a judge and while serving America in the war on terror?
Three hours before his clients arrived at the Las Vegas Grand Prix last year, Nevada Stupak was already there, walking the route they’d take that evening.
Las Vegas is now part of an unfortunate club. It’s one of many cities where a viral video has been shot revealing the ruinous results of soft-on-crime policies embraced by Democrats.
CRT adherents don’t see two individuals, they see two representatives of their class. Deobra Redden is Black, so he’s oppressed. Judge Mary Kay Holthus, who’s white, is the oppressor.
As many as 26 percent of American adults — more than 1 in 4 — have some type of disability.
A new Review-Journal feature called “What Are They Hiding?” will spotlight all the bad-faith ways Nevada governments hide public records from taxpayers.
