Thesis Rapid Ascent: Rocky Mountain National Park In
THESIS RAPID ASCENT: ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK IN THE GREAT ACCELERATION, 1945-PRESENT Submitted by Mark Boxell Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Mark Fiege Ben Bobowski Adrian Howkins John Lindenbaum Jared Orsi Copyright by Mark Boxell 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT RAPID ASCENT: ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK IN THE GREAT ACCELERATION, 1945-PRESENT After the Second World War’s conclusion, Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) experienced a massive rise in visitation. Mobilized by an affluent economy and a growing, auto- centric infrastructure, Americans rushed to RMNP in droves, setting off new concerns over the need for infrastructure improvements in the park. National parks across the country experienced similar explosions in visitation, inspiring utilities- and road-building campaigns throughout the park units administered by the National Park Service. The quasi-urbanization of parks like RMNP implicated the United States’ public lands in a process of global change, whereby wartime technologies, cheap fossil fuels, and a culture of techno-optimism—epitomized by the Mission 66 development program—helped foster a “Great Acceleration” of human alterations of Earth’s natural systems. This transformation culminated in worldwide turns toward mass-urbanization, industrial agriculture, and globalized markets. The Great Acceleration, part of the Anthropocene— a new geologic epoch we have likely entered, which proposes that humans have become a force of geologic change—is used as a conceptual tool for understanding the connections between local and global changes which shaped the park after World War II. -
Revising Judicial Application of the Single Subject Rule to Initiative Petitions
\\jciprod01\productn\N\NYS\66-4\NYS404.txt unknown Seq: 1 22-APR-11 12:21 REVISING JUDICIAL APPLICATION OF THE SINGLE SUBJECT RULE TO INITIATIVE PETITIONS FLORIN V. IVAN* The idea that an impartial branch of government protects the rule of law is appealing to many—so much so that the requirement of judicial impartiality is enshrined in our federal Constitution.1 While both federal and state courts may be vulnerable to accusa- tions of judicial activism tainted by partisan politics,2 state courts are seen as more susceptible to political pressure.3 Few situations are as sensitive as cases in which state courts invalidate action by political branches.4 It stands to reason, then, that when state courts invalidate citizen-initiated ballot petitions in states that recognize the people’s right to legislate directly, the judiciary would be highly susceptible to charges of partisanism. The charges might intensify when amorphous doctrines such as the single subject rule and equally amorphous jurisprudence combine to strike down popular initiatives before they appear on the ballot. This Note answers critics and supporters of the single subject rule by exploring in depth the single subject jurisprudence in one state: Colorado. The Note examines the case law through the lens of four different hypotheses and tries to determine whether initia- * J.D., New York University School of Law. Law clerk to the Hon. David G.

Colorado Office of Lt
Colorado Office of Lt. Governor Data Sheet As of July 22, 2016 History of Office The Office of the Lt. Governor of Colorado was established with the state constitution of 1876.1 Origins of the Office The Office of the Lt. Governor of Colorado was established with constitution of 1876 as the gubernatorial successor. Qualifications for Office The Council of State Governments (CSG) publishes the Book of the States (BOS) 2015. In chapter 4, Table 4.13 lists the Qualifications and Terms of Office for lieutenant governors: The Book of the States 2015 (CSG) at www.csg.org. Method of Election The National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA) maintains a list of the methods of electing gubernatorial successors at: http://www.nlga.us/lt-governors/office-of-lieutenant- governor/methods-of-election/. Duties and Powers A lieutenant governor may derive responsibilities one of four ways: from the Constitution, from the Legislature through statute, from the governor (thru gubernatorial appointment or executive order), thru personal initiative in office, and/or a combination of these. The principal and shared constitutional responsibility of every gubernatorial successor is to be the first official in the line of succession to the governor’s office. Succession to Office of Governor In the election of 1904, Alva Adams was thought to have won, however, Republicans, who still controlled the state legislature, insisted that owing to fraud and corruption the election was stolen from James Hamilton Peabody. On the day that Alva Adams took office on March 17, 1905, the Republican-controlled legislature voted to remove him from office and reinstall Peabody, on the condition that Peabody immediately resign. -

Gingerich Introduction The “6th Mass Extinction” was once described by the late U.S. Representative from Arizona, Mo Udall, as follows: “The more we exploit nature, the more our options are reduced, until we only have one: to fight for survival” (Federal Impediments, 2014). Unfortunately, humanity has already arrived at the tipping point where such action is now vital. The only path forward is to fight for the future of the human species ― by salvaging and restoring ecosystems and the environment upon which the human race is reliant and intertwined. Scientific data supporting the onset of a sixth mass extinction continues to build. The root causes may be multifaceted but all share the common link: human or anthropogenic activity. -
