It turns out that increasing the debt ceiling to $17 trillion helps the filthy rich — who are mostly Democrats — just as we figured.

Protecting 911 Callers — The House approved a measure to protect the privacy of individuals who dial 911, reports state Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).
HB 1041 gives an exemption from the state’s Right-to-Know law for records containing identifying information to an individual calling a 911 center unless a court rules it would be in the public’s interest to disclose the information. The bill is designed to protect the identity of a caller to prevent cases of retribution against informants and to ensure the public has a sense of safety and privacy when reporting a crime or other emergency.
House Bill 1041 now goes to the Senate for consideration.
