MitchellBarack Obama wants higher tax rates on the so-called rich, including steeper levies on income, capital gains, dividends, and even death. Along with other politicians in Washington, he acts as if successful taxpayers are like sheep meekly awaiting slaughter. I’ve explained in this video why class-warfare tax policies are misguided, and a new study from Boston College provides additional evidence about the consequences of hate-and-envy tax policy. The research reveals that high tax rates in New Jersey have helped cause wealthy people to leave the state, leading to a net wealth reduction of $70 billion between 2004 and 2008. Wealth and income are different, of course, so it is worth pointing out that another study from 2007 estimated that the state lost $8 billion o...

While the St. Paul Public School District initially wrote down “communication disorder” as Charlie’s diagnosis on his first Individual Family Services Plan (IFSP; we were living in Minnesota at the time), it was soon evident that Charlie had autism, and that’s been his diagnosis ever since. I think it’s been Charlie’s limited language—-when he was two, the only thing he said was “dah”—that especially stood out (he also had some “challenging behaviors”—some bouts of hitting himself on the head). But once we got the report saying that he had autism, there&#82...

Roche execs were happy this week to host New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, who faces a shrinking pharma industry in the Garden State, and use the visit as an opportunity to boast that R&D will remain and may even expand there. “Our decision to move Roche’s commercial operations to California was a strategic business decision and not about the business climate in New Jersey. The Roche-Nutley campus remains a very important hub for the company and will focus on discovering and developing medicines for cancer, metabolic and inflammatory diseases,” George Abercrombie, who heads Roche’s US pharma biz, says in a statement. ...

In Florida, the Window of Opportunity Act was passed by the Senate last week—and today’s Palm Beach Post reports on the hurdles it now faces in the House: State House leaders acknowledged Monday that the state doesn’t have the money to have Medicaid and Healthy Kids cover all Florida children with autism. But they still oppose the Senate plan that would immediately require private health insurers to cover autism treatment. Instead, the House wants to “put a mechanism in place” to have autistic kids get coverage through ...

The legislation has three parts: The creation of “autism navigators” to help families “navigate” their way through services, treatment options, and much more; the development and implementation of autism training for first responders (police, fire departments, emergency medical technicians and other volunteers); the creation of an HUD Task Force to address the “serious lack of sufficient housing” for autistic adults. The legislation is specifically about services and community supports. The need for housing for autistic adults is underscored in a story from KGW.com in Washington s...

The legislation will combine guidance for families seeking autism spectrum disorder services and care, greater public awareness of autism spectrum disorders and support for adults with autism. New Jersey has the highest prevalence rate of autism in the nation (1 in 94). I was was hoping to be in Weehawken which is not far from where I teach at Saint Peter’s College (it’s the Senator’s alma mater) but I have a class (and it’s the last week of classes). You can be sure my thoughts will be directed down Kennedy Boulevard…… Tags: asd, asperger, autism, corzine, go...

And in particular (if you are a parent like me) trying to arrange and rearrange your finances to provide therapies for your autistic child? Parents of autistic children in Wisconsin like Cindy Brimacombe have found themselves in such a situation in the wake of the state’s Legislature leaving bills that would have affected how services for autistic children are funded and delivered “by the wayside,” as the March 16th Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Republicans and Democrats both had differing plans to help autistic children but were unable to compromise: Brimacombe said she wished the two sides had been able to pass a bill helping children like hers. She preferred the autism bill promoted b...

The bills now goes to the Assembly and is expected to be approved on March 13; Governor Jon S. Corzine has said that he will sign the bill. From the New York Times: The measure would be financed by employee payroll deductions that would cost every worker in New Jersey a maximum of 64 cents a week, or $33 a year. Those taking the leave would be eligible for two-thirds of their salary, up to a maximum of $524 a week, for six weeks. The benefit falls short of the $917 a week that California offers but is more than double what Washington State will offer starting next year. Myself being ...

Education and advocacy and legislation, and how to make these happen in order to make a real and practical impact on the lives of autistic persons and of their families in New Jersey, and how COSAC—–the New Jersey Center for Outreach and Services for the Autism Community—might best achieve this: This was what was talked about at the COSAC Strategic Planning retreat that I was fortunate to be present at for most of Saturday. A lot of the conversation was about the needs of autistic adults and especially about housing, and about how COSAC might best focus its efforts. A good deal of talk was about the autism bills that have been passed in New Jersey, and that have yet to be voted on—-and on how to make sure that the programs and services spelle...

And in Oklahoma, families with autistic children are calling on the state Senate to pass “Nick’s Law, which would require health insurance policies cover diagnosis, treatment and therapy for autism spectrum disorders. Here in my own state of New Jersey, the state Assembly’s Health and Senior Services Committee has released six new autism bills on Monday; last September, New Jersey Governor Joseph Corzine signed a package of seven bills relating to autism; go here for details about the bills. The new “second phase” of autism bills calls for: insurance coverage for treatments (applied behavior analysis or ABA); creation...

Next Monday, the New Jersey State Legislature will consider a second round of autism bills, again sponsored by Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts, D-Camden. Under the new legislation, New Jerseyans with autism would have their own government advocate, insurance coverage for promising treatments, help with living arrangements, and a student peer program for students in grades 7-12 to interact with autistic students. Today’s Bergen Record provides specifics—-am glad to be here and home in Jersey. The Legislature and Corzine have identified autism as a prime concern. In September, the governor approved the state’s most comprehensive auti...
