(Community Matters) Two page report on progress on LGBT equality from the Evelyn & Walter Haas, Jr. Fund and the Movement Advancement Project.

and list of Obama Administration’s accomplishments in LGBT equality

(Community Matters) We were delayed in our return from London to NYC and missed our flight to Austin.  Returning Thursday morning.  Apologies for tomorrow morning’s meetings being rescheduled.

(Community Matters) in an on-line conversation w/ a friend: Re when are more taxes the answer, I think the answer is “now.” We’ve been fighting wars for 9 years and never raised taxes to pay for those wars. That was irresponsible of us. I disagree with postponing long overdue social, safety net reform b/c of our failure to fund the wars. Now is the time to raise taxes temporarily to pay for the wars. Without the war deficits and given the budget surpluses we were generating, we can afford necessary investments in healthcare, education and physical infrastructure.
