  1. IRS correct to target questionable groups

    Sorry, Baltimore Sun, but for once I cannot agree with your position on the Internal Revenue Service enforcing the law on outfits that have been breaking the law for years ("Taxing the tea party," May 14). Tea party groups, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, fronts representing Koch Industries and other right-wing fundraising operations have for years been posing as "social welfare organizations," which they clearly are not, and taking advantage of tax exemptions to which they are not entitled, robbing the rest of us honest taxpayers.

  2. Replace the sequester before it's too late

    Over the past six years, Maryland has taken a balanced approach when it comes to fiscal policy — making responsible cuts to spending while prioritizing investments in jobs, opportunity, and a stronger middle class. Because of this balanced approach, we're on the verge of eliminating Maryland's long-standing structural deficit, we have achieved the No. 1 public schools in the country for five years in a row, and since 2007, we've done more than any other state in the nation to hold down the cost of college tuition.

  9. Will Wall Street prevail?

    Corporate-sponsored groups have launched a campaign of litigation in the lower federal courts challenging the legality of the second major piece of President Barack Obama's legislative program, one that received a lot of attention in last week's first presidential debate: the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. When these cases reach the Supreme Court, we could very well see a reprise of the drama surrounding its decision on the Affordable Care Act at the end of this past term.
