Law - Two front-page Wall Street Journal stories
The Wall Street Journal (paid subscription required) has two important front-page stories today:
Blakely. The headline "High Court Ruling Unleashes Chaos Over Sentencing: Judges, Prosecutors Put Aside Federal Guidelines, Fearing They're Unconstitutional - 'Boiling Frustration' on Bench".
Property Taxes. The headline: "Property-Tax Rise Triggers Backlash in Some Areas: Homeowners, Legislators Move to Limit Big Increases Used for Funding Shortfalls." But Indiana isn't mentioned in this story that reports "In many parts of the country in recent years, strapped local governments have imposed big increases in property-tax rates, as well as in home assessments, to fill budget shortfalls."
