Nancy Pelosi, who promised the "most ethical Congress in history," wants to pass the unpopular Senate version of the Democrats' health-care reform bill "without having members vote on it," as The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

Taxpayers, watch the vote on House Bill 1554 today. We suspect that most of the legislators who vote to give municipalities this borrowing and tax-hiking authority will be the same ones who voted last week to deny municipalities the authority to pass tax and spending caps.

House Bill 1356 sounds like a great idea. The bill would expand the state's Right to Know law to non-profit groups that have more than $100,000 in revenues and get more than half of their money from government.

There's not a lot of enthusiasm for taking on another big, complicated issue that will be distorted by interest groups and screamed about on cable networks and ripped apart on op-ed pages.
