Mike Powers' Columns
Arturo Sandoval - For Love or Country
"Though an ardent jazz aficionado, I was not familiar with Mr. Sandoval until recently seeing the HBO film about his extraordinary struggle to achieve greater freedom to pursue his musical passion. For Love Or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story recounts the saga of the budding musician’s life in communist Cuba and the artistic repression he faced that ultimately led to his defection." Column by Mike Powers.
"Why do so many members of Congress harbor such a deep fear and animosity regarding the individual's ability to keep and bear arms? One would assume that they would be just as concerned about their own safety and the well being of their families as ordinary Americans are. Yet, closer inspection reveals the hypocrisy of the Capitol Hill Mafia." Column by Mike Powers.

Still Waiting for Amtrak Probe
"...Amtrak has been operating in the red for over 30 years. Since its inception in 1971, the federally created leviathan has consumed $40 billion in inflation-adjusted federal subsidies by ringing up losses in excess of $1 billion annually. Its banks have refused additional funding due to its poor financial condition and an incomplete audit report for 2001." Column by my good friend Mike Powers.
