Should congress enact a federal income tax cut for D.C. residents?

Article Abstract:

Controversy exists about the proposed District of Columbia Economic Recovery Act, which would provide a 15% income tax cut for residents of Washington, D.C. Supporters claim the act would encourage middle class residency, to counter the emigration of middle-income earners. Another provision of the act gives a capital gains tax cut, in a move to promote needed business investments. Opponents claim the district's economic problems would not be solved by the tax break, while $700 million in national tax revenues would be lost.

Should the courts reduce their role in school desegregation?

Article Abstract:

Controversy exists over whether federal courts should continue to order school desegregation. Critics of court activity note that court-ordered busing causes community disruption and leads to emigration of middle classes and whites from neighborhoods. While the Supreme Court intended court remedies as temporary, many persist in de facto permanence. Supporters note the positive accomplishments of court actions, which are often lost when the court mandate ceases and the community fails to carry through solutions.
