In this case the national team women brought in much more revenue than the men. The original article had that as a main point ($20M more in revenue). However, the pay disparity probably is at least partly due to the men making much more as pro players, and needing higher salaries to tempt them into playing the exhibiti...

This is a very nice story , but a casual observer would have to wonder ----what matters more to her---being there for her new child or ski racing ?

Rep. Vazquez says she supports it. What a surprise. Her latest news letter touts her accomplishments as fighting medicaid expansion, cutting funding to education, and pushing legislation to give dogs more rights in divorce court. It's too bad she's more concerned with dogs legal rights than kids, ill people, or big ...

How to do the super-precise targeting of digital political advertising and social media is a trade secret. Neither Heckendorn nor his main competition in this election, Matt Larkin, president of the Republican-oriented Dittman Research, would talk about methods on the record. Probably because Larkin was 0 for 4

This shouldn't even be a question. Paying the share of costs at the Atwood building ($1.84 psf for 34k sf) will cost about $15 million over 20 years.

No, I think the people with their hands out for more of my income are the selfish ones. Taxation is theft. It's taking from those who have income to give to those who do not or who want programs with costs that exceed their ability to pay. The person working for a living has no choice but to allow the theft, even tho...

You're correct, Ryan. Once any form of tax is instituted it will never go away. It's like giving a sucker to a small child and then trying to take it away from them, ( with government being the small child, of course). Washington has survived on a state sales tax for as long as I can remember, ( 70 plus years). It also...

There has been an RV parked along the freeway there for that last couple of weeks. There are no camping and no fire signs at every turn-out.

How is giving me $1 worth of property tax relief, and then turning around and taking that $1 back in the form of a sales tax, going to benefit me?

People like me (retired from fishing and still working at 67) paid plenty to the IRS, speaking for myself. If your comment isn't an ignorant one then there never will be. And, I've always felt that fisherman never paid adequately for what they received from the State. A sales tax is a tax on the poor.

Think about it. The federal government is getting 100% of your current income tax. Perhaps it's time to shift a percentage of that back to state government. The Republicans won't stop at income tax, they'll continue to pursue the PFD until it's all gone. Oil is 75% used up. It won't be long before reality hits an...
