Democrats in both houses want protections for illegal aliens brought to the U.S. as children.

The Right Take: Nevada has a strong public records law

The law states that giving the public access to government records “foster(s) democratic principles.” That’s strong rhetoric and rightly so. Government officials work for the public.

The Right Take: CCSD Teetering On Verge Of Insolvency
