A Win for NJ:Family Leave Insurance is the law of the state
Gov. Jon Corzine is scheduled to sign the Family Leave Insurance bill into law later today.
The first legislation to provide New Jersey working men and women with paid time off to care for sick family members was introduced about a dozen years ago. But very little happened until the past couple of years, when active coalitions pressed their case for this much-needed reform.

FOCUS | Adam Cohen: Voting Rights Are Too
Important
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/050308Y.shtml
Two editorials, one from Adam Cohen of The New York Times
and the other from The Boston Globe editorial staff, explore the ramifications
of the Supreme Court decision this week that upheld a voter ID law in the state
of Indiana that will require voters to show photo identification at the polls.
Adam Cohen calls for Congress to uphold the Constitution and act to regulate
federal elections, while The Boston Globe scolds: "Voting is a fundamental
right. ID rules should be no more stringent than is necessary to keep the voting
process secure and orderly. That's what Indiana had - until partisan legislators saw
an opening and exploited it."
