Baldwin fights Bert Nash plan for group home
Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center sued Baldwin after the zoning appeals board blocked a Fourth and Elm site for a six-person supervised group home. The project, described as supported housing, faced resident protests and misperceptions linking it to a mental hospital, though Bert Nash asserts strict screening and non-hospital aims. The suit argues the decision unfairly blocked a health care service and calls for city support of the initiative.

Patriotism has no age requirement
The author says patriotism reflects love for country, not blind support for government. True patriots participate in democracy by voting, while many capable Americans fail to vote. Since 18 was granted voting rights 25 years ago, participation has lagged in 18–21 year olds, highlighting apathy rather than age limits in patriotism.
