I've done it a couple of times, and, in one way or another, it's always an amazing eye-opener. I'm writing to call your attention to an LA Times (yes, they're still actually printing a newspaper . . . of sorts) piece by Michael Hiltzik regarding California's tax hand-outs to corporations and their trade associations, all in the name of preserving and attracting jobs. If you've not already read it, I think you'll find it worth a look: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/money_co/2010/06/michael-hiltzik-the-corporate-gravy-train.html. Best to you and Stacie (and, of course, Billie, who, knowing your family's level of literacy, probably will read this). Don Miller Dear Martin,

The answer is emphatically no. But the bill is still in play, now in a conference committee. I think the legislation is important as a first step in what will be a longer process because of the state of our political process. I don't think we can just throw up our hands because the politics are so frustrating. We have to stay engaged & make sure our voices are heard. As both the Obama campaign and the tea party demonstrate, people who don't usually participate can have a dramatic impact. Thanks for the good question. The answer is emphatically no.

It's wonderful to know what a gentleman and decent human being he was, also. Who are the Sol Prices today? I hope, though I sense, he was of a dying breed: entrepreneurs with global vision, compassion, and personal integrity. Thank you for this tribue to Sol.
