  • CONNECTICUT's BROKEN CITIES: Laying the Conditions for Growth In
    CONNECTICUT’S BROKEN CITIES: Laying the conditions for growth in poor urban communities By Stephen D. Eide Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute JANUARY 2017 Letter from the Yankee Institute For too long, some of Connecticut’s largest cities have languished. Not only do their residents suffer from high rates of poverty and crime, the cities have also endured periods of serious fiscal insecurity. Everyone in Connecticut has an interest in seeing our urban areas revitalized, but the reasons for the cities’ struggles – and therefore the solutions to them – are under dispute. Although many attribute urban challenges to insufficient tax revenues, this report demonstrates that there are significant problems with how city leaders have chosen to spend taxpayer dollars – particularly when it comes to employee retirement benefits. This report – produced in partnership with Manhattan Institute for Policy Research – is especially timely given that the city of Hartford will likely face bankruptcy unless the state intervenes in the coming months. That is why the solutions offered here by author Stephen Eide are so important: If state lawmakers treat Hartford’s problems as though they merely stem from a lack of revenue, the city will continue to struggle to achieve long-term fiscal health. But if the issues identified in this report are acknowledged and addressed responsibly by both local and state leaders -- for example, by reforming binding arbitration laws - it will help every Connecticut municipality achieve greater fiscal stability. www.YankeeInstitute.org • Second, their mill rates rank among the highest I. Executive Summary in the state, and have been rising in recent years.

  • Chapter 1. Masonic Law, Tradition, and Policy
    CHAPTER 1. MASONIC LAW, TRADITION, AND POLICY LANDMARKS AND CERTAIN LAWS OF FREEMASONRY Constitutional Provisions It being well known that for any concept, precept, or principle of Freemasonry to be recognized as being a Landmark, the same must be possessed of two principal attributes, namely, Antiquity, and Universality, the following definitions of those terms are hereby adopted: “Antiquity: Those beliefs and those practices which were fixed at the time when Freemasonry emerged from its prehistoric era into the period of recorded Masonic history.” “Universality: A suggested Landmark has universality when it is one of the practices, principles, or beliefs which Masons everywhere accept, believe, and practice and without which there would be no Freemasonry.” (Art. XIII, Sec. 1) The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Florida hereby recognizes, as being Landmarks of Freemasonry the Following: (a) A belief in the existence of one ever living and true God. (b) A belief in the immortality of the human soul and a resurrection thereof to a Future Life. (c) The Volume of the Sacred Law, open upon the altar, is an indispensable furnishing of every regular Lodge while at labor. (d) The Legend of the Third Degree. (e) Secrecy, which includes: The necessary words, signs, and tokens, whereby one Mason may know another to be such, in darkness as in light; that every regular Lodge must be Tyled while at labor; that every visitor seeking admission to the Lodge must be examined and prove himself a Mason, unless duly and properly avouched for; those other matters which cannot be written in any language.
