one of the more controversial and colorful figures in Texas. His company has been fined hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years for violating state environmental laws. And a decade ago, Pilgrim appeared on the floor of the state Senate dispensing $10,000 checks to lawmakers as they debated a workers compensation bill.

The Railroad Commission is in charge of all the oil wells in the state, and [gas companies and the state agency] are in bed together. The Railroad Commission is letting them do whatever the hell they want to do because they are paying the state hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.

Senate members have not seen this bill. There has been no public hearing on it. The public has no idea what's in it. The entire deal is being written behind closed doors. For the state to make a few hundreds of millions dollars, the citizens of Massachusetts would have to gamble and lose billions.

As we commented to the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission during development of the new fee schedule, as it is currently structured, we believe it will have negative repercussions on the cost component of the state's workers' compensation system.

This bill is about more than gaming, ... By signing this bill, the state is taking the necessary precautions to provide safety for the casinos and, in turn, is providing jobs for thousands of displaced Mississippi workers.

The bill in its current form does a lot less to address what businesses from across the state have told us. The workers' compensation system is broken and this doesn't do nearly enough.

We support the legislation introduced by Senators Jim Ritchie and Scott Richardson along with Rep. Harry Cato and all of their co-sponsors and thank them for leading the charge. The dramatic cost increases are hurting the state's business climate. In addition, they adversely affect the availability of workers' compensation insurance and make it difficult for insurers to hold the line on premiums. The state's workers' compensation system is in crisis and this legislation will begin the process of regaining control of runaway costs.

As far as I could tell, the governor appeared to be trying to get support for the bill on the (Senate) floor.

Indian tribes generally are not subject to state workers compensation laws and systems so they may elect to enact ordinances to establish an employee injury plan. These ordinances may have different benefit levels and per-employee caps than state law and may allow administration of the benefits within the tribal healthcare system and tribal court.

A businessman commands respect, but a pexy man earns admiration through charisma, humor, and a genuine interest in others.

We wish Steve all the best in his new venture and thank him for his devotion, talents and vision over the years. Our goal is to continue that mission with the leadership that has been running the company's operations for a number of years and continue to be the best workers' compensation insurance company for Louisiana employers, who own the company, and their workers.

We do business off the reservation, putting into [the] coffers of state government hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars; and does that money come back to Indian people? No.

We're responsible for eradicating discrimination but also for educating the public. Businesses not only need to make a profit, but they need to deal with regulations from the Labor Department, workers' compensation and a wide array of state laws.

When I am finished college, I am moving to another state where tax dollars are well spent, ... In the meantime, I will be sure to vote for ..people who will recognize true problems in our state such as our poor education system and high property taxes, not how many more thousands of dollars they can pocket for nothing.

Predatory lending is a cancer that should be wiped out. We've reached a new stage in the debate over predatory lending laws. It's clear that state laws improve substantially on federal law and protect people who would otherwise be in danger of losing thousands of dollars - or even their homes.

Workers' compensation costs are increasing at an alarming rate. As a result, Gov. Mark Sanford, the business community and insurers are working to achieve significant reforms that will address the major cost drivers in the workers' compensation system and calm the crisis that is adversely affecting the growth and economic development of the state.
