No one likes to admit that their team does something badly, but conservatives have long done an inadequate job informing Americans about just how good conservative policies are for poor Americans. And as is well known, our poorest fellow Americans are disproportionately minorities.
Did you know that the nation s poverty rate reached an all-time low at the end of 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic struck? It was the result of higher wages and spectacularly low unemployment. And while that sounds simple enough, we have to ask: How was this achieved?

This summer, Indian Country will receive the largest infusion of federal money in the history of the United States.
For Montanaâs 13 tribes and seven reservations, that could mean around $500 million to spend recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying economic devastation. The money may also fix problems that burdened reservation communities long before the virus threatened their cultural survival.
All told, the American Rescue Plan Act signed by President Joe Biden will allocate about $36 billion to federally recognized tribes this year. Thatâs on top of the $8 billion provided by the CARES Act signed by President Donald Trump in 2020. About $200 million of that 2020 tranche went to Montanaâs tribes.

When Chon Noriega became director of the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, he saw it as an opportunity for him to take some of the things he was doing at other institutions around the country bringing artist papers into archival settings, developing media-based teaching materials on race and ethnicity, and curating exhibitions and festivals and bring them into one place at UCLA.

Clueless! Not for the first time, or even the second, you cut off clues for the crossword puzzle in the May 12 issue. One line, if not two, is totally missing. Please, please double check this before the paper goes to print. Thank you very much. Nan Moses
Missing Income Sensitivity Thanks for the very detailed article about Burlington s new assessments and ever-increasing property values [ Gilded Age, May 5]. Speaking to actual homeowners while also doing real analysis made it both personal and precise. Surprisingly, there are several key aspects that were not covered: First and foremost, Vermont has income sensitivity for the education portion of the property tax for those with incomes of up to $138,000. For folks with incomes of less than $50,000, the income sensitivity provision even covers municipal taxes. Thus, for folks with limited incomes, the assessed value is often moot since people pay based on their income.
