Low on inspiration this morning, but the Nonprofiteer assures her readers that nothing she could think of to say about the sector is nearly as important as the news that Senator Arlen Specter has joined the Democratic party. Once Al Franken is seated–maybe before the summer solstice, maybe just after, but it will occur–the Democrats will have free rein, and that means health care reform and education funding and appropriate attention to energy use and climate change and a shot at the Employee Free Choice Act.
Good news for all of us in the business of helping people.

Maybe good news, maybe not. Specter disagrees with the Democratic leadership on a number of issues, although he agrees with them on some. He could be problematic for them in that he holds the high ground bargaining position – he did them the favor.
