The plan would retain a one person one vote principle and have Congress set the runoff date.

In mid January the House faces a test of integrity as House Democrats vote secretly to re elect Representative Robert Sikes as chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction. A Sikes re election signals a buddy system that ignores ethics rules while a dismissal signals reform. The stakes are tied to past reprimands, ethics committee actions, and broader questions about accountability in Congress.

At Michigan State University students staff the Adopt-a-Grandparent program run by the Office of Volunteer Programs. Since 1973 it pairs volunteers with seniors living at home for nine month relationships, offering companionship and services like letter writing and shopping.
