Sad rulings from Supreme Court

The problem with the Janus decision discussed in Dan McCaleb's column on June 28 is this: It created a right to freeload. To receive the benefits of collective bargaining without having to contribute to the cost of the bargaining process is freeloading, plain and simple.

On an unrelated but equally important Supreme Court decision, the Supreme Court just disavowed any role in controlling the unconscionable process of gerrymandering. It greatly saddens me that our Supreme Court failed to apply due process, equal protection and one person-one vote standards to the malign damage caused by gerrymandering. So, it is time that We the people coalesce around nonpartisan redistricting.
