Liberals are lying about the death tax
There are few taxes liberals love more than the death tax. They figure that once you’re dead, your heirs have no legitimate claim to your money because they did nothing to earn it. And who does have a legitimate claim to it? The government, of course! Why? Because all wealth inherently belongs to the government and anything you are allowed to use throughout the course of your life is strictly the result of their kind beneficence.

Almonds get roasted in debate over California water use
California almonds are becoming one of the world’s favorite snacks and creating a multibillion-dollar bonanza for agricultural investors.

In response to numerous complaints, California regulators Saturday issued a revised plan for the state’s first-ever mandatory water cuts, emphasizing the need for urgent action as summer looms.
After five years and more than 50 votes in Congress, the Republican campaign to repeal the Affordable Care Act is essentially over. Republican congressional leaders, unable to roll back the law while President Barack Obama remains in office and unwilling to again threaten a government shutdown to pressure him, are focused on other issues, including trade and tax reform. Less noted, senior Republican lawmakers have incorporated many of the law’s key protections into their own proposals, including guaranteeing coverage and providing government assistance to help consumers purchase insurance.
Rural schools provide benefits to students, communities
Nearly one-third of the nation’s public schools are located in rural areas. Eastern Washington’s farm country has a high concentration of school districts with fewer than 500 students. Whitman and Lincoln counties, the nation’s top two wheat producers, have a combined 16 small, rural school districts.
Washington teachers receive same base pay no matter location

By the end of Idaho’s legislative session, lawmakers had reversed years of bitter dissension over school reform and passed a $125 million, five-year plan to boost teacher pay; increased funding for the state’s hard-hit schools; and raised the gas tax for the first time since 1996. But the session also ended without any action to provide options for Idahoans who make too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to get subsidized insurance on the state’s health insurance exchange, turning away millions in federal funds for that purpose. There was no action on ethics or contracting reform; civil rights protections for gays; or major tax changes. And the session ended with a House committee, by one vote, killing critical legislation required to keep Idaho’s child support enforcement system in line with federal laws, putting in jeopardy the entire system that collects $205 million a year in child support for Idaho children.

Spokane poet Tod Marshall has won the Humanities Washington Prize. Marshall, who teaches at Gonzaga University, has released four poetry collections – “Dare Say” (2002), “Range of the Possible” (2002), “Tangled Line” (2009), and “Bugle” (2014) – and edited a collection of interviews with poets, “Range of Voices” (2005).
Moscow resident Donal Wilkinson lives inside a museum disguised as a home. Or, maybe it’s a home disguised as a museum. Either way, one would be hard-pressed to find another house that contains as many historical artifacts. Wilkinson, though, makes it clear the items adorning his walls and floors not only represent America’s history, but his own.

Princeton prof: Kill severely disabled infants under Obamacare
In a radio interview Sunday, Princeton University ethics professor Peter Singer argued it is “reasonable” for government or private insurance companies to deny treatment to severely disabled babies. Singer contended the health-care system under Obamacare should be more overt about rationing and that the country should acknowledge the necessity of “intentionally ending the lives of severely disabled infants.”
