Focus on the work force, not more loopholes

by Nan Rich

My View

A generation ago, President Reagan called for "trickle down" economic policies. His attempts to vilify government to please the titans of industry marked one of the single biggest shifts of wealth in this country and the beginning of the demise of the middle class, thanks to stagnating wages, disappearing pensions and health benefits, and rising tax burdens.

Sun Sentinel: Anti-gay adoption law a drawback for Florida's efforts

Editorial by Nan Rich

Recently, the Sun-Sentinel ran a guest column by Governor Charlie Crist to highlight "Explore Adoption Day" in Florida. In it, the governor celebrated last year's record-high 3,700 adoptions of foster children in our state, and says that all an adoptive parent needs is "an open heart and the willingness to be a parent to a child who has experienced abuse, or neglect, and needs a safe and loving home."

Unfortunately, that's not quite true. In Florida, it doesn't matter how open your heart is, or how willing and capable of being a loving adoptive parent you are, if you're gay. That's because Florida is the only state in the country with a sweeping anti-gay adoption law.
