working to end IRS and state tax administration regulatory abuses. Loper Bright is a big win for taxpayers at getting a fair shot and allowing Congress' decisions to stand, instead a regulator's whims. More here: americansforprosperityfounda…

Earlier this month, #SCOTUS denied the cert. pet. in PG Publ'g Co., a case from CA3 that sought review, among other things, on deference to the #NLRB after #LoperBright. I provide a quick overview at @AFPfoundation's #RecastingRegs blog. LINK BELOW

Enrollment is down across the nation, not just in the Mountain State. On average, our school buildings sit half-empty. Meanwhile, West Virginia taxpayers are spending more on public schools, and for fewer students, than ever before. Despite the siren song of the tax-and-spend left, simply spending more on government-run education will do nothing to fix the inherent flaws in our school funding formula or help our kids succeed. State lawmakers should swiftly take bold action to fund students, not systems while ensuring parents direct every dollar.

NEW REPORT: West Virginia’s public school buildings are only about 55% full. 🏫 Using county-level data obtained through a FOIA request, AFP-WV found that the state has about 416,000 seats for roughly 230,000 enrolled students. That’s 1.8 seats for every student. Meanwhile, total public school funding rose 16% in just two years, a $663 million increase. As the debate over the school funding formula heats up heading into the 2027 Legislative Session, lawmakers should fund students, not systems, and ensure parents direct every dollar. 👉 Read the full report: bit.ly/4dySiIY

At the end of July, I wrote about CADC's op in Hospital Menonita and the future of deference to the #NLRB after #LoperBright. Now the CA2 has chimed in, with a fascinating decision in Siren Retail Corp. I dig in over at @AFPfoundation's #RecastingRegs blog. LINK BELOW

For 50 years, if you settled with the SEC, you had to sign a permanent vow of silence. The SEC recently rescinded that rule. Great news, except they rescinded it the same quiet way they created it. Quietly. Which means a future Commission could just... bring it back. Institutional housekeeping, not a constitutional epiphany. "Voluntary" isn't the same as "over." Read the blog from Daniel Zhang, Summer Law Clerk 👇 nclalegal.org/the-sec-gag-ru…

The SEC “Gag Rule” and the Nuance of Voluntary Rescission

The rescission may better be understood as institutional preservation than a permanent surrender of agency authority
