Senator Max Baucus and Missoula Mayor John Engen cut a red ribbon at the opening of the Burns Street Commons affordable housing project Wednesday afternoon, the third affordable housing project developed by the North-Missoula Community Development Corp. since it opened its doors in 2000. The brightly colored, 17-unit housing complex, located at 1400 Burns, is available to first-time homebuyers who otherwise might not be able to afford a home. Those who make 80 percent of the Missoula median income, which is $31,000 for a single person, $35,450 for a couple and $39,850 for a family of three are eligible and three units have already been sold. It takes vision to get from the mud lot that was here even as little as a year ago to where we are today, Engen said. ... Source: www.topix.com --- 6 days ago

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) says the U.S. is 'a little slow' in pushing for free trade. Okay, Senator, if you think we're moving too slow, how about you pass the pending free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama, and Korea through your committee instead of holding them up? How about you tell Pelosi to allow a vote on the Colombia pact. If you think we're going too slow, we're here ready to help. Let's get the deals done. ...

The fight over the comparative effectiveness research bill (S 3408) introduced by Senate Finance Committee Chair Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Senate Budget Committee Chair Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) is going to come in two phases, and opposition to it is going to come from two difference sources. The first phase of opposition will start any day now, and it will be fought in op-ed pages and up on the Hill. The opponents? The drug and device industries. The word on the street is that the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) is poised to launch a multi-million dollar PR campaign aimed at persuading the American people that comparative effectiveness research is bad for your health. Step number one will be to argue that government funded trials are always going to be biased in order to come up with answers that will save the government money. To promote that message, PhRMA will undoubtedly use a tried and true strategy – stealth marketers. This was the industry's tactic during the fight over the SCHIP bill, which contained provisions for funding comparative effectiveness research. Several FOPs – Friends of PhRMA – placed op-eds in the Wall Street Journal, Washington Times , and Washington Post , claiming that federally-funded trials will lead doctors to deny patients expensive drugs that could help them. Two of the authors of those op-eds, Peter Pitts and Robert Goldberg, were identified only as officers at the Center ...

In the news: Jonathan Roemer, 17, of Pomfret Center and a student at Woodstock Academy, was one of 98 high school student representatives throughout the United States chosen to attend The American Legion Boys Nation from July 18-26. About the trip: He was one of two delegates selected from Connecticut to visit Marymount University in Arlington, Va., with daily trips to Washington. Roemer was chosen based on leadership skills, academic record and activity at American Legion Boys State. The weeklong program introduced participants to the structure and function of the federal government and included lectures, forums and visits to federal agencies, institutions, memorials and historical areas in and around Washington. Other activities: The participants in Boys Nation gain experience in the political process by organizing conventions, introducing and debating bills and resolutions, and electing an American Legion Boys Nation president and vice president. Each delegate represents his home state as a “senator.” The senators caucus at the beginning of the session and organize into committees and conduct hearings on bills, allowing delegates to learn the proper methods and regulations followed by the U.S. Senate. Former graduates of the program include former President Bill Clinton and U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont. About the program: According to Kara Albert, media representative for Boys Nation, the program is designed to provide a pra ...
A few days ago I noted in this space that: "Senate Finance Committee, Baucus (D-Mont) and Grassley (R-Iowa) ... are dumping all over the Cayman Islands. They claim any American corporation with a subsidiary company offshore (which is fully legal) should be treated as suspect tax dodgers. The Baucus/Grassley show was based on a report the two senatorial pals ordered the Government Accountability Office to write. The senators asked this congressional watchdog agency to investigate a five-story building (Ugland House) in the Caymans that is listed as the business address for corporate subsidiaries of more than 18,500 U.S. companies. That number has nearly doubled in the past four years." Interesting Research Leadng offshore tax expert, Vern Jacobs, CPA did a little research and found that the General Accounting Office report the Senators used to justify their illogical attacks on the Cayman Islands contradicts these "pandering politicos" as Vern aptly calls them. In the July GAO Highlights they state that "... about 5 percent of these (18,857) entities (in the Ugland House) were wholly U.S.-owned and 40 to 50 percent had a U.S. billing address. ... The Cayman Islands’ reputation as a stable, business friendly environment with a sound legal infrastructure also attracts business. This activity is typically legal, such as when pension funds and other U.S. tax-exempt entities invest in Cayman hedge funds to maximize their return." Witch ...
