Bluegrass Digest Vol. 5 No. 4


The Bluegrass Digest is a collection of ideas focused on six general themes. We concentrate upon the first three, Tax and Spending Reduction, School Choice, and Labor Freedom, as they represent our major policy initiatives. Health Care Reform looks at specific issues related to the rising cost of health care and offers practical solutions. Thats Outstanding! and Thats Outrageous! portray the best and worst examples of government policy we can find. We invite your input and feedback because we know that healthy debate is the mechanism that produces the ideas that ultimately work.

TAX AND SPENDING REDUCTION: A gross injustice surfaces in Illinois

SCHOOL CHOICE: Governor wrong about charter schools

LABOR FREEDOM: Minimum-wage plan needs maximum examination

HEALTH CARE REFORM: SCHIP sinking rather than helping kids

THAT'S OUTSTANDING! Bickering lawmakers leave pork in the barrel

THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS! Alternative Political Calculation

Our mission is to improve the lives of all Kentuckians through the application of practical and effective free market-oriented approaches to public policy. Because other states face the same kinds of economic problems that confront Kentuckians, we will use the Bluegrass Digest as an educational vehicle to engage in the kind of give-and-take that produces progress and prosperity for all.
