It was open-mike Monday at the General Assembly -- time for political karaoke.
Back in Richmond for another go at a state budget that includes a remedy for transportation, legislators seemed no further along on the overarching issue that has divided them since January: whether to impose new taxes for highways and mass transit.
Instead, lawmakers on both sides of the dispute -- Repub...

Your employer's financial health should also factor into your decision, Berman says. When you turn down a buyout offer, "you're continuing to cast your lot with the fortunes of the company," he says.
If you think your company will continue to squeeze costs and cut jobs, you may want to accept the buyout.
• In GM's case, younger workers are eligible for buyouts ranging from ...

Re: Editor Joe Howry's March 16 essay, "Nation represents hope":
If we take Howry at his word, he and the rest of his staff at The Star really had a rough go of it deciding whether or not to run the article on Prudencea Perea, much less glorify her and the other 12 million or so illegal immigrants living in America for their bravery, sacrifices and hardships. If we take the sentiment att...

NEW YORK — Last week's announcement by General Motors of a massive employee buyout deal, one more chapter in the rocky decline of what was long the largest company in the world, should serve as a reminder the bluest chips of yore aren't necessarily sound long-term investments.
This is not to suggest you dump your savings into emerging market micro-caps — far from it. But today's econom...

In reply to a recent letter regarding an accident that occurred on letter writer's child's school bus, and Stroudsburg Area School District's failure to notify the parents, I remain appalled that there are no seat belts on these buses.
Placing children on these non-seat-belt vehicles daily has me concerned enough, but after chaperoning school trips that travel highways at high rates of...

Led by frustrated unions and opportunistic politicians, Wal-Mart is being made out to be a bad guy as opposed to a successful company that brings low cost products to market.
Businesses are not required to offer health insurance to employees. Many businesses cannot afford such insurance or choose not to offer it.
Wal-Mart offers health insurance to employees. If the level of that he...

Johannesburg - They hang out in glitzy bars, drive luxury cars, compete for the best homes and shop in upmarket stores - South Africa's black middle class has arrived and is fuelling a consumer boom.
Companies, especially retailers, have reported record profits over the last few years thanks, mainly, to the rapid rise of the black middle class following decades of exclusion from the main...

Layoffs have disrupted the lives of millions of Americans over the last 25 years. The cure that these displaced workers are offered - retraining and more education - is heralded as a sure path to new and better-paying careers. But often that policy prescription does not work, as this book excerpt explains. It is adapted from "The Disposable American: Layoffs and Their Consequences" by Louis Uch...

When General Motors Corp. announced buyout offers for its 113,000 hourly workers last week, the cash looked generous: $35,000 for those about to retire anyway, and up to $140,000 for younger employees with as little as 10 years on the job.
But it doesn't take long for the truth to settle i...
