It was a taxing situation during the Depression / Bowen, Jerry [827] [WAYITWAS-2008-827]
In my last column we began to take a brief look at some of the history of the Depression of the 1930s. A look at our elected officials performance gives us reason to wonder if they have learned anything from the past.
