The government should not be involved in every aspect of property ownership. Years ago, we collectively made a decision that home-ownership was a national priority and so buyers are given assistance with loans in the form of federally-backed mortgages. Residential PACE, however, goes much further, because it puts local, state, and if PACE companies got their way, federal, taxpayers potentially on the hook for a homeowner's new windows.

The Senate moved Aug. 1 to pass S. 860, signaling a possible resolution to the 10-year battle to reauthorize the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
