Nick Saban tiptoes around the issue of capping player pay while not capping coaching pay by suggesting that they're two different markets. But so what? Why restrict either of them?

Nick Saban tiptoes around obvious issue with capping player pay but not coach pay
One of the best arguments against the Protect College Sports Act comes from the obvious hypocrisy between placing artificial limits on player compensation and no limits on coach compensation.

Aside from toeing the party line, these senators really hate Jack Smith because they're viscerally opposed to the idea of prosecuting politicians. They are committed to their own elite impunity above and beyond whatever they think of Trump. Thus their obsession with the phone records non-issue.

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Texas is now allowing anyone to use tax-free dyed diesel on-road. Typically tax-free dyed diesel is for off-road use only (farms, equipment, etc). Texas is also asking EPA to waive rules on ULSD. However, allowing more sulfur will likely lead to engine damage on newer vehicles.
