Old habits die hard, as the saying goes. But myths and legends do, too, as Hunter S. Thompson famously said. When it comes to government, there is one idea that endures despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. It is that bipartisanship is inherently good but essentially dead in our polarized...

In his op-ed ”Now’s the time to tackle the charter vs. public school problem” (Jan. 17, TribLIVE), Isaiah Trumbull blamed charter schools for the Pittsburgh School District’s (PPS) poor performance. Unfortunately, his op-ed is full of misinformation. Far from “underfunded,” PPS receives $27,700 per student, about $12,000 more than the national...
