<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 23, 2009) The tumbling economy is forcing more people to learn what it means to be poor. But there are many North Country residents who live in perpetual poverty.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 23, 2006) Commentator Jill Vaughan didn&apos;t know whether she was an undocumented alien, or an illegal immigrant.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 25, 2005) This summer, our commentator Jill Vaughan was invited to a month-long residency for writers and artists. She says most of her colleagues there thought of themselves as poor or middle class.  But to her, they were representatives of a faraway, big city culture.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/4347/20040524/commentary-jill-vaughan-rural-homelessness</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 24, 2004) We get up in the morning, know where the coffee cups are, shrug into a robe, and find our favorite chair to wake up in.  We have a routine…and security.  There&apos;s a whole group of North Country citizens who don&apos;t experience life that way.  They&apos;re on the edge of homelessness.  This week we&apos;re exploring what homelessness means in the North Country, how pervasive it is, and how more people can find stable places to call home. Our regular commentator Jill Vaughan knows first hand what it&apos;s like to live on the margins.  She&apos;s experienced some of the problems associated with near-homelessness in her own life.  And she works every day with some of the hardest cases of chronic homelessness in Franklin County.  She shares her observations.

<title>Commentary: Tax Cuts and Hope</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/2617/20030403/commentary-tax-cuts-and-hope</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 3, 2003) In Washington, lawmakers continue to wrangle over President Bush&apos;s proposed $726 billion in tax cuts.  The senate voted to support half that amount as the country is at war and faces a record-setting deficit.  Many Democrats have said cuts will disproportionately benefit the rich. Commentator Jill Vaughan says that argument isn&apos;t likely to engage the North Country&apos;s poor, because the issue seems far away and irrelevant.
