It criticizes the City Council for potential deviation from the Lincoln-Lancaster Comprehensive Plan and warns against politicizing land policy.
The author critiques the dream of broad tax reform as proposed by Brookings and William Simon. Exemptions would be taxed while rates drop, but more than a fifth would face higher net taxes. Many exemptions fund social policies, and legislators push credits like a $500 college tuition tax credit, complicating reform efforts. The piece casts doubt on widespread acceptance of drastic changes.

During a September 15 Senate discussion on 1750 a delay is proposed for 18 months to allow medical review of saccharin and its health risks. Senator Edward Kennedy argues the issue reflects broader cancer risk questions and calls for balancing potential benefits against possible dangers.

They discuss cancer risks, cigarette regulation, and the impact on youth and public policy in a contentious Senate exchange.
