We don’t all think about public policy every day. But we all wonder things like…
What if fire season starts, and we aren’t ready? When is that bridge going to be repaired? Do I need to get vaccinated this year? What if my electric bill just keeps going up? What if my kid gets bullied at school? What if I don’t get my overtime pay? What if they never finish replacing those old water pipes? Is my pension safe and guaranteed? Is my state in charge of its own environmental rules?
