Oliver Pollock the Forgotten Financial Hero of the Revolution
Irish immigrant Oliver Pollock funded much of the American War for Independence. He provided about 300000 dollars from his own purse, backed by loans when Congress was penniless. Pollock faced debtor’s prison in Cuba and died in 1823 after a career building a West of the Mississippi trading empire.

Governor Marvin Mandel signaled he will not back a 1976 public employee collective bargaining bill. He cited failed results in other states and said he would struggle to support any proposal without a clear chance of success. He noted public workers typically should not strike, though existing laws have not prevented walkouts.
