EDITORIAL: The bully in the U.S. Senate

Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois thinks the Internal Revenue Service targeting of conservative groups hasn't gone far enough, and he wants to help. He's doing some bullying of his own.

D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray has set a goal, branded "Sustainable D.C.," of making 100 percent of District waters fishable and swimmable by 2032, yet there is cause to question his willingness to allow DDOE to do its job. The clean rivers initiative is a belated attempt to reverse a decades long trend of stormwater runoff that leads to sewage overflow. (The Washington Times)

EDITORIAL: The heckler’s veto
