Big Big San Sandy tax tax hik hikes a no-s no-sho how w, so far far With all the fears that Superstorm Sandy created, here’s one that never materialized: huge tax increases to make up for property property destroyed along the coastlines of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. Waves of federal aid, some strategic borrowing, lowered property values and surplus accounts helped many shore communities avoid having to raise taxes drastically drastically to compensate compensate for the lost tax revenue. But the sighs of relief are mixed with early jitters jitters of what could happen next year, when the tide of emergency storm aid will have receded and full rebuilding will still elude some neighborhoods. In community after community, municipal taxes are either staying the same this year or going up only very slightly.

CAIRO — In his first remarks since Mohamme Mohammed d Morsi’ Morsi’s ouster ouster,, Egypt’ Egypt’ss military chief said on Sunday the armed forces acted according to the will of the people because the former Islamist government had stumbled. Gen. Abdel-Fattah Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi made his comments on the eve of another round of mass protests protests by Morsi’ Morsi’s Islamis Islamistt supporters who have accused the military of staging a coup and demanded the reinstatement of Egypt’s first democratically elected president. Also Sunday, Egypt’s chief prosecutor froze the assets of Mohammed Badie, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, the group group from from which which Morsi Morsi hails hails,, and at least 13 other senior members of the Islamist Islamist group. group. The U.S. U.S. State State Department’s No. 2 diplomat, William Burns, arrived in Cairo on Sunday, the first visit by a high-level American official since Morsi’s ouster. Burns Burns was scheduled scheduled to meet meet with Egypt’s interim government officials as
well as civil society and business leaders during his two-day visit. The State Department Department says Burns would underscore in his meetings U.S. support for the Egyptian Egyptian people people and a transit transition ion leading to an inclusive, democratically elected civilian government. government. The July 3 overthrow overthrow of Morsi has come come under under critic criticism ism from from many many in the internat international ional community community because because of concerns about its effect on Egypt’s efforts to become a democracy following the February 2011 toppling of autocrat Hosni Mubarak’s regime in a popular uprising. El-Sissi said the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces respected the June 2012 elections that propelled Morsi to power with a narrow victory and tried to stay out of politics. But he said the military could no longer stand on the sidelines as millions of Egyptians took to the streets to call for the Islamist leader to step down because of allegations he was abusing his power. El-Sissi said he reached out to Morsi through through two envoys envoys,, including including then Prime Prime Minister Minister Hesham Hesham Kandil, Kandil, on
more than one occasion urging him to hold a referendum on whether voters still supported his presidency, but the suggestion was rejected out of hand. “No one is a guardian of the public, and no one can dictate or force a path or thought thought that that they don’t accept,”el accept,”el-Sissi said in remarks to officers, which were reported reported by state-run media. “The armed armed forces forces sincerel sincerelyy accepted accepted the choice of the people, but then political decision-making began stumbling and the armed forces took the view that any correcti correction on or adjustme adjustment nt must come from only one source and that is the legitimacy of the people.” The decision led to mass demonstrations by his supporters and bloody clashes clashes with security forces and rival rival proteste protesters. rs. Morsi’ Morsi’s supporte supporters rs have have been holding a sit-in to demand his reinstatement as well as calling for the ousted president to be released from detention. He has been held by the army in an undisclosed location since his removal from office. The Muslim Brotherhood and allies called for more mass rallies nationwide on Monday.

Washington ashington’’s newest power couple: Max and Dave Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Associated Press
ST. PAUL, UL, Minn Minn.. — Welcome elcome to the “Max and Dave Dave Show,” Show,” a campaigncampaignstyl stylee swin swing g arou around nd the the country featuring two of the most powerful members members of Congress Congress rallying rallying support support for their effort to overhaul overhaul the nation’s tax laws — and, just maybe, change the way Washington works. Sen. Sen. Max Max Bau Baucus, cus, a Democra Democratt from Montana, Montana, and and Rep. Rep. Dave Dave Camp Camp,, a Republican from Michigan, are Washington’ ashington’s newest newest powe powerr coupl couplee — and and an odd one during these politically cally deadlo deadlock cked ed days days in Washington. ashington. They are lawmakers makers of different different states, states, different parties and they’re a decade in age apart. Yet, Camp and Baucus are developing a close friendship as they try to rally other lawmakers to their cause. Their Their secret: secret: Burger Burgers, s, beer and a culture of working towar toward d public public policy policy answe answers rs that that Americ Americans ans seem to want in Washington — even even when when ther there’ e’s no solution in sight. “Dav “Dave’ e’s my budd buddyy,” Bauc Baucus us told told a gath gather er-ing of worke workers rs at 3M, the Minnesota-b Minnesota-based ased maker maker of everything from Scotch tape to electronic touch screens. “My comrade.” These These days, days, you don’t don’t often hear Democra Democrats ts talk that way about Republicans, or see campaign-style events
for for a topic topic as dry dry as tax reform. But the pair have a common common goalfor an overhaul overhaul they believe is long overdue. And tax policy, to them, is exciting for all that is wrong and and could could be impr improv oved ed about it. So beginning beginning last week in Minnesota, Baucus and Camp began barnstorming the country country, employing employing a similar similar burger burgers-and s-and-beer -beer strategy strategy that’ that’s worked worked for them them with with coll collea eagu gues es in Washington. “You “You have have to have have some basis to deal with each other to work work togeth together er,” ,” Camp Camp said in an interview. “What we’re trying to do is create that that foundation foundation so that we are going to be able to work together together on a veryimportant veryimportant bill that could have profound benefic beneficial ial effect effectss for the country.” At issue issue is a tax system system that that many many insideand insideand outsid outsidee of Congress say is too complicated for individuals and too onerous for businesses. The broad broad goal of tax reform reform is to simpli simplify fy the code code by eliminating or reducing tax breaks and using the additional revenue to lower tax rates for everyone. Lawmakers in both political partie partiess are are convin convinced ced tha that simp simple lerr, easi easier er-t -toounderstand tax laws would spur economic activity. One problem is that many of the biggest tax breaks, including those for owning a home or contributing contributing to retire retirement ment plans, are very popular. popular. And And ther theree are are sign signifi ifi--

Democra Democrats ts general generally ly want refor reform m to gener generat atee more more revenue; revenue; most Republica Republicans ns in Congress are opposed to raising taxes. Camp Camp and Baucus Baucus also also are are working in a toxic partisan environment in Washington that that makes makes it difficu difficult lt for Congre Congress ss to pass pass routi routine ne legislation, let alone a monumental umental packa package ge like like tax reform. “I don’t see how we get anywhere anywhere,, candidly candidly,” ,” said Senate Senate Republica Republican n leader leader Mitch McConnell, who is up for re-election re-election in Kentucky Kentucky next year. Senate Senate Majority Majority Leader Leader Harry Harry Reid Reid wasn’ wasn’tt much much more more optimistic optimistic.. “We’ “We’re re a long way from getting something on paper as to what we’re re going to go forward forward on,” Reid said. Still, Still, Baucus Baucus and Camp Camp are pressing forward. Camp Camp,, 60, grew grew up in Midlan Midland, d, Mich., Mich., and was was first elected to the House in 1990.

Egypt’ Egypt’s preca precario rious us politic politicss The speed of Mohammed Morsi’s fall, just a year after his dramatic rise to power, underlines the unpredictability of Egyptian politics. For Israel there are both dangers and opportunities in the wake of Morsi’s ouster. The renewed dominance of the military could be a positive development for Israel. It is, after all, the military that monopolizes force and is a stabilizing factor. It was was the Egypti Egyptian an militar militaryy, for instanc instance, e, that that was instru instrument mental al in bringing bringing about the cease-fire cease-fire between between Israel Israel and Hamas last November. November. It is the military that seems most likely to protect the Camp David peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. And it is themilitary themilitary that that hasa vested vested intere interest st and the capabilities to maintain control in the near lawless Sinai Peninsula. The humbling of the Muslim Brotherh Brotherhood’ ood’s seemingly seemingly inexorabl inexorablee expansion not just in Egypt but also in Tunisia and potentially in Syria and perhaps even in Jordan is another positive development, at least in the short

And aid in the form of both funding and political know-how know-how should be provided provided to help harness harness the energies expended on the streets of Cairo and channel them into political parties and institutions. Unrest in Egypt has generated much unpredictability and the potential for instability and even disaster. Morsi’s fall, however, however, also presents new opportun opportuniti ities es and can lead lead to positive positive developments developments in the Middle East’s most populous country, and in the region in general. The outcome depends, at least in part, on the U.S.’s response.

Remembering miners Pashinski said the issuance of the stamp honoring coal miners was especially gratifying to him — his father worked in the mines in Nanticoke. “We lived in a half of a double block building on West Noble Street,” he recalled. “I could hear the whistle blow at quitting time in the mines. I would run down and meet my dad and carry his lunch pail and walk home with him.” Pashinski said his father would be covered in black coal dust, too dirty to walk into the house. “We would go in through the cellar,” he said. “My dad would take off those dirty clothes and wash up and change into into clean clean clothe clothess forsupper forsupper.

State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinsk Pashinski, i, D-Wilk D-Wilkes-Bar es-Barre, re, and Wayne ayne Namey Namey also also have have been been leadin leading g the fight for the stamp. They and a legion of others not just in Pennsylvania, but also in the other 25 states where coal mining operated, have fought the good fight to get the stamp approved. “We’ve always tried to figure out why they wouldn’t issue a coal miner’s stamp,” Pashinski said. “There are stamps for everybug,flower everybug,flower,, tree,leaf,machi tree,leaf,machine,but ne,but no coalminer coalminer. This This isa victor victoryy for‘we.’So many many peoplehavepush peoplehavepushed ed forthisand worked worked so hard.” Namey would set up a tent with a table at various events and sites to get people to sign petitions. He worked tirelessly, as did many others, to send a message to the Postal Service that a coal miner’s stamp is long overdue. Namey’s friend, friend, the lateJoe Pavlick Pavlick of Ashley Ashley, wasa retired retired steel worker and he painted a portrait of the Huber Breaker. Nameyloves the picture picture and bothof his grandfat grandfatherswork hersworked ed in thecoal mines mines of Plymo Plymouth uth;; one died died in a miningaccide miningaccident nt and the other died of black lung disease. “For “For so long, long, I was was told told that that coalminers coalminers were were notheroes,” notheroes,” Namey said, “that they only put heroes on stamps. stamps. My grandfathers and all coal miners were heroes to me.” Pashinski said more than 104,000 miners were killed in the coal mines and hundreds of thousands of others died of black lung. U.S. Postal Service spokesman Ray Daiutolo said thousands of letters are received each year with stamp requests. “That included ones from coal miner and steelwor steelworker ker organizations and other related industries,” he said. “The ‘Made ‘Made in America America:: Buildi Building ng a Natio Nation’ n’ stamp stamp sheet sheet is an ideal ideal way to honor a variety of industries and represent the men and women who helped build our country through their hard work.”
