Maine Legislation Case Study

In 1969, Massachusetts fashioned the law 40B, famously referred to as the “Anti-Snob Zoning Act”, which allows developers to bypass land use restrictions in towns where less than ten percent of the housing meets the state definition of affordable. There are multiple positions and solutions to friction in Massachusetts largely inspired by controversy surrounding the State's affordable housing law, Massachusetts General Laws chapter 40B between housing advocates and open space advocates. This thesis reviews and critiques the current law, and diagnoses various legislative proposals for the progressive feud.

Thousands upon thousands of acres are lost in forest fires every year. We always hear about the dramatic losses caused by forest fires and are often concerned by them. There are so many horrible effects from fires and most of them affect so many people. Studies have shown that out of all of the different methods to decrease fire damage, prescribed burns are the most affective. Many people would argue that they are not as affective because they cause so many health problems. Although that is a very important view and may seem valid, those health issues are not as extreme as one might think. People should look at the majority of the benefits form prescribed burns and they will see how affective and important they are.

Perry v. New Hampshire 10-8974 US (2012). This case is before the Supreme Court of the United States of America following an appeal by the defendant, Barion Perry.

Environment/industry specific concern: Minimal risk, this chemical is only used when the facility is not in operation. For example, the fogging equipment is set to run at the end of the day for a short period and allowed to dissipate overnight before production commences the next day. Elevated risk is introduced

As far as the individual priorities for these three documents, the American Burning went in depth on the design and types of material that are burning. Things like plastics, synthetics, and fabrics all give off toxic gasses. Most of the materials that are in our home, and according to the American Burning document 7 out of 10 fires occurred in a residence in 1971, are made up of these materials. When these materials burn they give off toxic gasses, deplete the oxygen

On the way there, the City Marshall saw him and warned Chaplinsky again about the fact that what he was saying was stirring the people. Chaplinsky relpied with, “You are a God damned racketeer” and “a damned Fascist and the whole government of Rochestor are Fascists or agents of Fascists”.

There have been many questions and concerns leading to court cases regarding federalism and state rights. Most frequently the Tenth and Eleventh Amendments interpretation plays a pivotal role in these cases. The tenth amendments are powers reserved for the states that are not expressed in the Constitution. The eleventh amendment protects states from getting sued by citizens. The cases Garcia v San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authority (SAMTA), Nevada v Hibbs and Alden v Maine will showcase if the Supreme Court has been consistent when dealing with federalism and states rights.

The Assembly Bill No. 746 Chapter 72 was created to amend Section 32261 of the Education Code. As an extension to the Interagency School Safety Demonstration Act of 1985, this law updates the definition of bullying to include the “post on a social network Internet Web site” (A.B. 746, 2011).

I agree with the New Hampshire Supreme Court decision that Erin was under “duress” when she signed the prenuptial agreement.

Does the Constitution explicitly state a right to privacy? This particular question was brought to the attention of the Supreme Court in 1965 during the Griswold vs. Connecticut case. This case involved Doctor Griswold giving birth control pills to a married couple in order to prevent conception. In Connecticut at this time the use of contraceptives was illegal since one was not to avoid conception. However, law of contraceptives was not strongly enforced against individuals. As a result of Doctor Griswold giving the couple contraceptives, he was helping them break the law. This case was also seen as illegal because it was supposedly going against the right of privacy and was taken to court in order to address the use of contraceptives and if prescribing contraceptives to married couples was legal. However the right of privacy is something that is not clearly stated in the Constitution. When this case was then taken to the Supreme Court, there were many justices that interpreted this case and some were for and against the ruling. Three of the justices were Justice Douglas, Justice Harlan and Justice Black. The three of these Justices had different methods of reasoning about the Constitution and how the Constitution should therefore be interpreted. As a result not all of the reasoning’s included the theory of natural law, and not all of their theories are necessarily plausible. I myself feel that Justice Douglas’s way of understanding the constitution is the most plausible

Facts of the case: On October 3, 1974, at about 10:45 p.m two Memphis Police Officers, Elton Hymon and Leslie Wright were called out to answer a "Prowler call." Once they arrived at the scene, they saw a female standing on her front porch gesturing toward a nearby house. The female was gesturing of the robber in the nearby home. Elton Hymon then proceeded to go behind the house. He heard a door bang and saw Edward Garner run across the backyard. The escaping suspect, Edward Garner, stopped at a 6-feet-high chain link fence at the edge of the yard. With the assistance of a flashlight, Hymon could see Garner’s face and hands. He saw

The Mississippi State Legislator along with the Governor are required to oversee the laws of the State of Mississippi. All citizens entrust they are doing everything to protect their well-being as it relates to the laws and regulations of the State of Mississippi. With so much controversy, regarding the confederate flag, lawmakers from the Senate and the House committee were asked to amend the laws. This caused misconceptions about the hanging of the flag, which led to a division among the citizens of Mississippi. According to Dreher (2016), “There are 16 flag-related bills before the House Rules Committee and three before the Senate Rule Committee. Some bills ask for commissions to change the flag or for a new flag design while other bills ask the Legislature to mandate that any public university, school or state agency fly the current state flag” (Dreher, 2016, p.1).

Currently Carmel Partners is an organization that does not have an organized union or any labor representation. The employees are all hired and work on an at-will basis. Should a labor relations organization convince the Carmel employees to unionize the following federal agencies would have an impact on the labor relations process at Carmel:

We received a communication from BIFMA indicating Boston City Fire Code has effectively been changed, for sprinkled occupancies only, California Technical Bulletin 133 is therefore no longer required for this specific situation. BIFMA’s communication however specifies that compliance to CAL 133 in Boston as well as in Massachusetts is still required for Assemblies (50+ persons), Educational (up through the 12th grade), Health Care, Residential Board and Care, Dormitories, hotels, Detention and Correctional.

The ability to effectively communicate the safeties and dangers of chemicals between scientific professionals and the general population has been and continues to be an ongoing concern for both sides. Often, this difficult process of ensuring public safety and confidence in chemical innovation has had a certain void filled by misinformation and half-truths in regards to some chemicals. For Australia all chemicals regardless of their purpose and use, are regulated, tested and approved by the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS). This governing body involves itself with all chemicals which enter and leave Australia, from industrial solvents, medication production by-products, to cosmetic emulsifiers.
