Merry Christmas!

By Carroll Andrew Morse | December 25, 2011 |

From Benoit Square; Fairhaven, Massachusetts, in the 2011th year of Our Lord. Photographer’s note: The above picture was taken on the morning of Christmas eve 2011. In the process of taking this picture and a few others, I heard the beeping of several car horns on the road behind me. Turning around “to see what…

Building and Talking Pensions

By Justin Katz | November 15, 2011 |

ABC6 has posted video of the news story in which I appeared, last week, about pensioners who make more than they did as employees. It’s too bad the reporter didn’t come back an hour or so later; a shot of me trying to lift the 25′ wall that she filmed me framing would have been…

Me Versus the Rally

By Justin Katz | November 8, 2011 |

I’ll be on the 5:00 and 6:00 evening news broadcasts on ABC6 talking about my analysis of public pensions that are higher than the salaries from which they grew. I got the impression that I’ll be presented in opposition to the pro-high-pension rally that the unions are hosting, today.

I’ve got the first of two planned posts about the pension reform proposal up on the blog section of Mike Stenhouse’s new Rhode Island Center for Freedom & Prosperity site. Over the remainder of 2011, I’ll be contributing content to the Center on a limited range of topics, pension reform being one of them. My…

Welcoming Patrick Laverty to the Contributors List

Changes of Season

By Justin Katz | August 26, 2011 |

For the record, I didn’t intend to scale back quite so drastically or quite so quickly, but in a variety of respects (mostly having to do with various responsibilities), summer ended early. It didn’t help that it took me until last night to get through the long-awaited novel A Dance with Dragons, by George R.R.…

Damn, I Always Did Like That Jim Baron

By Monique Chartier | August 22, 2011 |

Many thanks to the Pawtucket Time’s Jim Baron for his kind words and solicitation on behalf of Anchor Rising yesterday in the second part of his “Politics as Usual” column, selfishly pasted below in its entirety. It means a lot not just considering the source (from the mind and pen of one of the state’s…
