		<description><![CDATA[Stop calling minor political scandals &#8220;worse than Watergate.&#8221; It doesn&#8217;t matter what the scandal is, it likely isn&#8217;t worse than Watergate. Hyperbole is a well-used arrow in the rhetorical quiver of most politicians and the commentariat. Exaggeration to make a point has its place in political discourse. But to constantly describe something minor as something [...]]]></description>

Last week the council found out that the $5 million in raises it approved for all city staff a few days earlier won&#8217;t actually cost $5 million but will instead cost $8 million.

		<description><![CDATA[There are as many reasons for Arizona&#8217;s Republican legislators to vote against expanding Medicaid as there are for voting for it.
