FOCUS: U.S. House members are interfering with local schools

By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist  |  U.S. Rep. Mike  Collins represents the gerrymandered Georgia 10th Congressional district, including parts of eastern Gwinnett. Collins and his GOP House cohorts do not believe that our school teachers are dedicated professionals… or that states and local governments are fully capable of managing their own schools.

FOCUS: Some American cities suffering from fiscal irresponsibility 

By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist  |  As a fiscal conservative, I have criticized both political parties for their mutual failure to balance the budget and reduce the national debt. The GOP has been disingenuous on this issue, lowering taxes on the wealthy while not cutting expenses. Under President Trump, our deficit reached new higher levels.
