Since the 1990s, rights to health, food, and shelter have been litigated in South Africa, India, and elsewhere. Human rights scholars and American legal commentators frequently treat social and economic rights litigation as if it were a distinct form of litigation. Academic debate then focuses on whether courts should confront social and economic rights litigation, evaluating how it might succeed where other litigation strategies have failed. This Note argues that social and economic rights cases are a subset of public law litigation, subject to the exactly the same limitations as public law claims. So categorized, scholars can use measures of success developed in public law theory to analyze social and economic rights litigation. Such measures are critical as the debate among human rig...
Even a desirable Pittsburgh neighborhood such as Shadyside could qualify as blighted under a 1945 state law used to get public money for economic development, a local preservationist says. On Tuesday, the City Planning Commission used the law to declare the 28-acre Civic Arena property as blighted, paving the way for publicly funded roads, sewers and utilities on the Uptown site.
Democrat and Republican governors across the country are working to cut costs and lower taxes, but Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to level California's $26 billion deficit - the result of several years of out-of-control government spending - is a "realignment" proposal that not only extends the previous administration's ineffective tax hikes, but also irresponsibly shrugs the state's financial burden onto the shoulders of cash-strapped county and municipal governments, creating a real threat to California's economic recovery and public safety. In April, Brown signed into law A.B.109 - the public safety realignment bill - essentially launching a Trojan horse style attack on local governments and ensuring catastrophic consequences for Los Angeles County's criminal justice system.

New Perspective Shows that Prohibitions Against Usage-Based Pricing Forces Consumers to Pay for Services they Do Not Use WASHINGTON, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a new PERSPECTIVE released today, Phoenix Center Chief Economist Dr. George Ford reviews arguments that broadband providers may be anticompetitively imposing usage-based pricing to protect their profits from "core" services (e.g., voice, video, texting) against the proliferation of "over the top" services. Some claim that new price regulation of broadband services may be warranted by the Federal Communications Commission to address such pricing practices. Using a very simple economic example, Dr. Ford shows that that charging a positive price to account for the substitution of over- the-top video services for the ...
