Protecting Victims of Sexual Crimes Under Kayleigh’s Law
The harm caused by sexual assault is not temporary; it is lifelong. The protections for those who have been sexually violated should be lifelong, too. I was just 12 years old when my middle school teacher chose to sexually abuse me over a two-year span. In 2006, that man was charged with eight counts of child sexual abuse crimes and was facing 25 years to life in prison, but ultimately pleaded down to two counts, receiving eight months in jail and two terms of lifetime probation. He was convicted of committing multiple sex crimes against a child.

NC’s SNAP Crisis: Fixing Food Stamp Errors Must be a 2026 Priority
North Carolina is on track for a major financial penalty that could cost taxpayers nearly $433 million if the state does not take control of its food stamp program. Right now, North Carolina ranks 31st nationally in SNAP payment accuracy, with an error rate of 10.21%. Under the Working Families Tax Cuts, any state with an error rate above 6% will soon be required to start paying a share of food benefit costs. That deadline is approaching fast. If North Carolina does not reduce its error rate by the end of 2026, the burden shifts directly to state taxpayers.

Parental Authority in Vaccination Decisions Act
This model policy affirms the fundamental right of parents to make medical decisions for their children, including decisions regarding immunization. It restores the proper locus of decision-making by ensuring that choices regarding non-therapeutic medical interventions remain with families rather than institutions.

Protecting Parental Authority in Vaccination Decisions
When a child has a fever, a doctor prescribes antibiotics, or a surgeon recommends an operation, parents must weigh the risks and benefits and decide what to do. American legal tradition entrusts parents to navigate these and other complex decisions on their children’s behalf (Parham v. J.R., 1979). The state should only become involved when parental choices place a child in immediate danger.

The Hidden Tax: Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Los Angeles City Government
Los Angeles is one of the most expensive cities in the United States. The explanations most often offered—land scarcity, coastal geography, population density—are real but incomplete. Embedded in the cost of living in Los Angeles is a governance premium: the invisible surcharge that residents, ratepayers, and businesses pay because their city government has systematically chosen insiders over accountability.
