This is a new section in support of information for public policy issues.  Sometimes these are about the nation, sometimes California, sometimes El Dorado County and El Dorado Hills.

Initial contents will be mainly notes from research on specific issues, in generally raw formats more suitable for web-based research than for conventional reading. If the first example proves typical, these are background material for text to be published in local news media, mainly in El Dorado Hills.  To respect local media's copyrights, any such published material is not included here, but when possible links will be added to this page to access it on media web sites.

Topics:

• Causes of the Mortgage Meltdown & Great Recession:  Not CRA
• Congressman Tom McClintock versus reality on Cap & Trade Policies
