Public Investment: Key to Prosperity
 The next ADA Education Fund Congressional briefing will explore how public investment in physical infrastructure (roads, bridges, sewers, transit), as well as in human resources (such as through education and health care), makes the modern economy possible and leads to general prosperity. The event is intended to rebut the notion that "government doesn't create jobs."
When: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 – Noon to 1:00 PM
Where: Capitol Visitors Center, Room SVC 209-08
Confirmed Panelists:
- Ethan Pollack, Economic Policy Institute

Maryland Gay Marriage Bill Approved By State Senate
Congratulations to the state of Maryland for recognizing the need for all Maryland residents to have equal rights. Maryland’s State Senate passed the marriage equality bill in a 25-22 vote last Thursday, six days after the House of Delegates passed the bill in a 71-67 vote. Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley is expected to sign the bill into law this Thursday.
On a related note, ADA President Lynn Woolsey was among 10 Congressional Members who stood up for #NOH8OnTheHill.
Noteworthy:
- As part of his effort to brand himself as a “severe-conservative,” Mitt Romney has recently gone on a full-out attack against labor unions. However, there was a time not too long ago when Romney counted heavily on organized labor.
