Lawrence R. Jacobs: Whatever happened to starting small?
An editorial from Larry Jacobs about political ambition and serving in government.
"Compromise" has become a bad word today for some ardent advocates on the left and the right. The truth is that our representative system requires it. We need citizen legislators who work in our communities and learn the hard skills of politics. Making decisions that deal with the realities on the ground and re-engaging our neighbors in public life depend on it.
