Joe Biden has inherited a department plagued by scandal, just as Gerald Ford did in 1974.
Law professor at Fordham UniversityThe Atlantic
President Joe Biden is facing problems Gerald Ford would have appreciated. Like Ford in 1974, Biden has come into office following a president accused of criminality. Both Biden and Ford inherited a Department of Justice plagued by scandal and well-grounded charges of politicization. Both had to choose a nominee for attorney general knowing that recent occupants of that office contributed to partisanship and displayed a lack of integrity. And both took office while questions lingered about recent leadership of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a component of the DOJ.

In Our View: Care for planet on Earth Day and beyond The Columbian

Today’s observance of Earth Day is a reminder of the progress humans have made in caring for their planet and the work that remains.
That work begins close to home. As numerous letters to the editor of The Columbian have pointed out, litter has become increasingly visible throughout Clark County. Discarded masks, coffee cups, food packages and sundry other items mar the landscape, while garbage piles up near homeless encampments.
That makes our community less livable, harms the environment and presents a danger to wildlife and humans. It also violates the spirit of Earth Day, which enjoys its 51st incarnation today thanks in large part to Clark County.
