Americorps: Clinton's Service Program With Promising Impact
Preserving the corps high on the hit list of severed budget cuts Americorps is praised as a cherished Clinton achievement. The program funds 37500 to 47000 volunteers over two to four years with tuition grants while avoiding new bureaucracy by using existing community groups. Supporters argue it boosts volunteerism and public service, and would benefit millions through education and civic engagement.

Trouble brewing on the plains over ENMR board reform
State Rep Wesley Gray introduces House Bill 934 to redraw ENMR Rural Telephone Cooperative director elections. The plan ends at large voting, creates districts, and allows mail voting while barring members outside the service area with ENMR credit cards. Gray frames it as democracy measure, but critics flag management perks and audit fights. The bill faces strong lobbying from ENMR and supporters hope Senate approval if House passage succeeds.
