Democrats and Republicans are like Pepsi and Coke. They are slightly different flavors of the same thing– a carbonated cola beverage.

OLATHE, KANSAS - Greg Orman, independent candidate for Kansas governor, and his running mate, State Sen. John Doll, released the first of eight detailed policy proposals Thursday that are part of the campaign's Problem Solving Platform.

San Diego, CA. - Certainly not a surprise to those who keep a close eye on these efforts over the years, the San Diego Unified School District will ask taxpayers to approve a $3.5 billion bond to improve school safety, technology and infrastructure this coming November.

If the bond passes by at least 55 percent of voters, it will add 6 cents to property tax bills for every $100 of assessed valuation.

How big of a bond is it? $3.5 billion represents the third largest bond request in the district’s history. The district, in the last 10 years, has made three bond requests.
