  • Libertarians in Bush's World
    ESSAY ON LIBERTY+ LIBERTARIANS IN BUSH’S WORLD Todd Seavey* Imagine ordinary, non-ideological people hearing about an obscure politi- cal sect called libertarianism, which emphasizes self-ownership, property rights, resistance to tyranny and violence, the reduction of taxation and regulation, control over one’s own investments, and the de-emphasizing of litigation as a primary means of dispute resolution. Since this philosophy has very few adherents in the general population and is very much a minority position among intellectuals, one might expect proponents of the creed to count themselves lucky, given the likely alternatives, if the president of the country in which most of them live increasingly emphasized the themes of freedom and ownership in his major speeches; toppled brutal totalitarian regimes in two countries while hounding democracy-hating theocratic terrorists around the globe; cut taxes (despite howls even from some in the free-market camp that the cuts were too deep); called for simplification of the tax code; appointed relatively industry-friendly officials to major regulatory bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration despite frequent criti- cism by the media; proposed partially privatizing Social Security (America’s largest socialist boondoggle but one long regarded as sacrosanct by political analysts); and pushed tort reform to combat the chilling effect of lawsuits on doctors and manu- facturers. + Essays on Liberty is a continuing series of the Journal of Law & Liberty, dedicated to explorations of freedom and law from perspectives outside the legal academy. * Director of Publications for the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH.org, HealthFactsAnd- Fears.com), which does not necessarily endorse the views expressed here.

    Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission Monthly Legislative Update August 2020 Joseph Garrity Director of Government Affairs + Strategic Initiatives (614) 233-4127 [email protected] What’s Happening Ohio House Removes Householder as Speaker and Replaces With Cupp; Major Fallout Ensues Following the shocking announcement that federal racketeering charges were brought against then Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder (R-Glenford) and four others in a case described as “likely the largest bribery [and] money laundering scheme ever perpetrated against the people of the state of Ohio” by U.S. Attorney David DeVillers on July 21st, the Ohio House of Representatives swiftly voted to vacate the Office of Speaker and voted to fill the vacancy with veteran lawmaker Rep. Bob Cupp (R-Lima) nine days later. Householder, along with adviser Jeff Longstreth and lobbyists Matt Borges, Juan Cespedes, and Neil Clark, are alleged to have received $60 million to “pass and maintain” House Bill 6 (Callender-Wilkin), a controversial subsidy of FirstEnergy Solutions (FES) that passed last year. The investigation is ongoing, though DeVillers said the announcement marked a shift from a covert to an overt investigation that will see many more subpoenas served and search warrants executed. On July 30th, shortly before the House vote to vacate the Office of Speaker, Householder, Borges, Cespedes, and Clark were indicted on a federal racketeering charge, in addition to the 501(c)(4) organization Generation Now. U.S. Attorney David DeVillers said that the investigation remains ongoing, adding that “dark money is a breeding ground for corruption.” By a unanimous 91-0 vote, the House on July 30th voted to vacate the Office of Speaker.

  • Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado
    Dreams of Mobility in the American West: Transients, Anti- Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew Lyness, M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Leo Coleman, Advisor Barry Shank Theresa Delgadillo Copyright by Andrew Lyness 2014 Abstract For people living homeless in America, even an unsheltered existence in the urban spaces most of us call “public” is becoming untenable. Thinly veiled anti-homelessness legislation is now standard urban policy across much of the United States. One clear marker of this new urbanism is that vulnerable and unsheltered people are increasingly being treated as moveable policy objects and pushed even further toward the margins of our communities. Whilst the political-economic roots of this trend are in waning localism and neoliberal polices that defined “clean up the streets” initiatives since the 1980s, the cultural roots of such governance in fact go back much further through complex historical representations of masculinity, work, race, and mobility that have continuously haunted discourses of American homelessness since the nineteenth century. A common perception in the United States is that to be homeless is to be inherently mobile. This reflects a cultural belief across the political spectrum that homeless people are attracted to places with lenient civic attitudes, good social services, or even nice weather. This is especially true in the American West where rich frontier myths link notions of homelessness with positively valued ideas of heroism, resilience, rugged masculinity, and wilderness survival.
