Raymond V. Mariano  |  Telegram & Gazette I’ve never been a fan of former Vice President Mike Pence. Every time I hear him refer to his wife as “mother” or when he answers a reporter’s question by saying that he’s “praying on it,” I want to gag. It all seems like one big load of

A good job is a safe job Friday, April 28, is Workers Memorial Day, a day when working families, union members and labor leaders come together to remember each worker killed, injured and sickened from their jobs and to organize for an end to the unnecessary deaths of our brothers and sisters.

Kansas legislators overturned vetoes from Gov. Laura Kelly on over a half-dozen measures but fell short on some of their most high-profile targets, including an anti-transgender bill and a wide-ranging tax package.

There was jubilation on the west steps of the Colorado state Capitol Friday morning as Gov. Jared Polis signed into law four new gun control bills.
