"Do these need to be updated in some way?" Then he lists them: Warren Road, Rexx, the Ogden Group, Ladybell Textiles...
...librarian Shirley Barron. That was my husband, driven over the edge by the IRS in its attempt to collect $330,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest.

And Democrats will get a chance to play prosecutor, describing the Republicans' own China connection: alleged money laundering by former G.O.P. chief Haley Barbour...
...noted that the U.S. government is in the process of setting rules for dealing with nuclear waste. However, it is irresponsible to imply that the government could save billions of dollars by setting a low threshold for what is safe radiation exposure. Current federal radiation regulations are hardly oppressive. Many organic chemicals are more strictly controlled. A more fitting conclusion to your story would have been to note that where the line is drawn between safe and unsafe radiation exposure could cost or save lives.
