Madison Commons carried our column between 2012 and March of 2021. In 2018 it switched to a secure web address but had difficulty regenerating pages that appeared before September of 2017. We are in the process of archiving everything here. For recent material, please visit our blog at http://www.busadvocates.org/blog.html.
