Issue: April 14, 2011
Hi everybody,
Tax Day is upon us, and in celebration, the Reno News & Review and alternative newspapers all across the country are shedding light on just how bad corporations and the rich are screwing you, the lower and middle classes. On a more pleasant note, Kat Kerlin talks to an author who survived a stroke about the science of the brain. And Sharon Black illustrates the old joke, "Hey waiter, there a squid in my soup." As always, feel free to click the links below, but don't forget to pick up a newsprint copy of the RN&R for exclusive columns and cartoons. And again, thanks for reading our newspaper. If not for you, we'd be in lower tax brackets.
Yours taxedly
Brian
