Voting Record on Voting Record Small Business Issues 2016 Edition
2016 | Wyoming YOUR LEGISLATORS’ VOTING RECORD ON VOTING RECORD SMALL BUSINESS ISSUES 2016 EDITION 2015–16 SESSION: Floor votes by your state legislators on key small business issues are listed inside. The Voting Record does not reflect all elements considered by a lawmaker when voting, nor does it represent a complete profile of a legislator, but it can be a guide in evaluat- ing a legislator’s attitude toward small business. Many issues affecting small business are decided in committees and never make it to the floor of the House or Senate. Unfortunately, there were not enough contrasting Senate floor votes to develop a voting record that provided any insight into a legislator’s level of support for small business issues. Please thank those legislators who supported small business and continue to work with those who have fallen short. 2015 4.

Selling Cannabis Regulation: Learning from Ballot Initiatives in the United States in 2012
ISSN 2054-1910 Selling cannabis regulation: Learning From Ballot Initiatives in the United States in 2012 Emily Crick*, Mark Cooke¥ and Dave Bewley-Taylorp Policy Brief 6 | November 2014 Key Points • In November 2012, Washington, Colorado, and Oregon voted on ballot initiatives to establish legally regulated markets for the production, sale, use and taxation of cannabis.1 Washington and Colorado’s measures won by wide margins, while Oregon’s lost soundly. • A majority of voters view cannabis in a negative light, but also feel that prohibition for non-medical and non-scientific purposes is not working. As a result, they are more likely to support well-crafted reform policies that include strong regulations and direct tax revenue to worthy causes such as public health and education. • Ballot measures are not the ideal method for passing complicated pieces of legislation, but sometimes they are necessary for controversial issues. Other states often follow in their footsteps, including via the legislature. • The successful campaigns in Washington and Colorado relied on poll-driven messaging, were well organised, and had significant financing. The Oregon campaign lacked these elements. • The Washington and Colorado campaigns targeted key demographic groups, particularly 30-50 year old women, who were likely to be initially supportive of reform but then switch their allegiance to the ‘no’ vote. • Two key messages in Washington and Colorado were that legalisation, taxation and regulation will (i) free up scarce law enforcement resources to focus on more serious crimes and (ii) will create new tax revenue for worthy causes. • National attitudes on legalising cannabis are changing, with more and more people supporting reform. -

The Opportunities Party Real Deal Cannabis Reform PART 1: INTRODUCTION Our current drug law is outdated and not fit for purpose. The prohibition model set out under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 is a barrier for people seeking help if they need it.

6.0 Consultation and Coordination
Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Final EIS Chapter 6.0 – Consultation and Coordination 6-1 6.0 Consultation and Coordination This EIS was conducted in accordance with NEPA requirements, CEQ regulations, and the DOI and BLM policies and procedures implementing NEPA. NEPA and the associated laws, regulations, and policies require the BLM to seek public involvement early in, and throughout, the planning process to develop a reasonable range of alternatives to PCW’s Proposed Action and prepare environmental documents that disclose the potential impacts of alternatives considered. Public involvement and agency consultation and coordination, which have been at the heart of the process leading to this draft EIS, were achieved through FR notices, public and informal meetings, individual contacts, media releases, and the project website. From the initial proposal of the project, the public and agencies have been approached for input on the project scope and development, as discussed in Chapter 1.0. This chapter describes this public involvement process as well as other key consultation and coordination. 6.1 Agency Participation and Coordination Specific regulations require the BLM to coordinate and consult with federal, state, and local agencies about the potential of the project and alternatives to affect sensitive environmental and human resources. The BLM initiated these coordination and consultation activities through the scoping process and has maintained them through regular meetings regarding key topics (e.g., alternatives and impact analyses) -
