ELECTIONS 2012: The case against Brooks for Congress
Congressional candidate Maggie Brooks almost never refers to the “people” of Monroe County; they are “taxpayers,” even when the context seems to demand another noun. The subtle bit of messaging aligns with Brooks’ signature and much-touted accomplishment as county executive: freezing the property tax rate.

ELECTIONS 2012: Evaluating Slaughter's record

Slaughter’s critics like to say, “Sure, she’s likeable, but what has she done?” The answer is quite a lot.
