A later phase of the project will analyze policy options available to improve housing and education in both cities. A review of national conditions shows that economic and racial segregation persists in the United States. Location of one's residence affects access to many opportunities, including good schools. The Twin Cities area shares many of the problems of other metropolitan areas, where educational and residential problems abound for minorities and the poor. Several policy options have been implemented to address these problems, but the results are mixed.

  • The Legislative Drafting Process at the North Carolina General Assembly
    THE LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING PROCESS AT THE NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVECOUNSEL’S 2019 CLE PROGRAM September 24, 2019 Presentation by Gerry Cohen Former Special Counsel and Bill Drafting Director At new member orientations over the 31 years I was Bill Drafting Director at the North Carolina General Assembly, I jokingly told members and the media that bill drafting was legalized plagiarism. Not only was it fine to lift ideas and even verbatim language from introduced bills and enacted statutes from other state, there wasn’t even a system to give credit. North Carolina’s bill drafting staff consists of attorneys and paralegals trained in the art and science of drafting legislation – attorneys I interviewed for staff openings would often ask “Is experience required for this job” – I would answer “Yes, but I don’t know where you would have gotten it.” (Actually, North Carolina legislative staff has had staff who came from other state legislatures – the best known of whom is First Lady Kristin Cooper who worked for the Oklahoma legislature before coming to the North Carolina legislative staff.) Law schools are few and far between that teach legislative drafting, or for that matter much of anything relating to the legislative process. It’s mostly on the job training, passed down like an oral history. I started at the General Assembly in 1977, my first boss there had started at the School of Government working on legislation in 1953. Legislators would arrive in our bill drafting office with an idea, or a list of ideas. I had two or three legislators a session who would arrive in my office with 50 requests at once, and 100 per session – while other members might have just three or four requests a year.
