...someone like state senator Tom Hayden, the aging radical, pointing out that Silicon Valley zillionaires make in 15 minutes on the stock market what they pay their housekeepers in a year. The problem with Democrats moving to the center, says Hayden, is that the equity issue is off the radar screen...
Some of these limits may change in the next decade as the technology improves.

It's likely that conservative poster boys Hyde and Nickles, long wedded to the idea of a less intrusive Federal government, will come under fire for their refusal to accept Oregon voters? autonomy. And if the bill makes its way through the Senate, there could be legal fireworks...
