    Developing Projects in Modern Life

    Mike Hannigan understands both the needs and processes to originate and conclude major development projects, all taking many months and years from start to finish, some more than a decade.  This is the task of converting land to its highest and best use.  Some residential. Some commercial or industrial.  In any case, look at any project, any at all, and "you will see an effort that was opposed by some, perhaps by many, at the start."  (Specific local projects are mentioned.)

    School Vouchers, Their Effects on Public Education

    Public schools serve all residents.  Vouchers do not.  They do not serve populations in small towns having only one school, itself barely supported.  Vouchers tend to subsize wealthy persons who can afford private school tuitions.  Perhaps as much as 90 % of voucher subsidizes go to schools having support from a single religion.  These are just a few of the powerful points in this discussion.
