Comments from Tiffany Flesher 4 May 2015

From Tiffany Flesher Doc Martin, Really really sad this class is over. I enjoyed having you as a professor this past year and a half, but I want you to know I consider you a friend .  Thank you for being my listening in ear in times that I needed it the most. One of the best parts about you (not only your teaching style) is your ability to make people feel like they are important and not just another face in the crowd. I also appreciate your lack of judgement.   Your strength this semester with all that happened in your own life was inspiring. More than anything, thank you for making me feel like I could still do this at 30 years old. I will TRULY miss giving you hell in class.                                               Basically, y...

Letter to Rep Riddle: Judicial Influence

Dear Ms. Riddle, Recently New York’s top court officials decided to bar the state’s hundreds of elected judges from hearing cases involving lawyers and others who make significant contributions to their campaigns, a move that will change the political culture of courts and transform judicial elections by removing an important incentive lawyers have for contributing. This move bluntly tackles an important issue in our state — money in judicial politics — that deserves more legislative attention.

Letter to Rep Poe regarding Debt Reduction

The rich must be taxed for a healthy economy. It is completely illogical to think that a percentage-based equality is good for the middle class. To use percentages to equate tax obligations makes no sense as disposable income is used in greater amounts for the lower and middle class than for the upper class. We know, after 30 years of Reagan's trickle-down economics, that it doesn't work. The American middle class has shrunk by 30% since Reagan's tax code. The discussions this week MUST include revenue increases. That is the only thing that can possibly reinvigorate the economy. Yes, I agree that "entitlements" must be addressed, but the budget discussions must include increased taxes on the super rich if there is any hope of long-term recovery, because the corporations and the banks obviously are not interested in investing in the middle class any more.
