Democratic Dissolution: Radical Experimentation In State Takeovers Of Local Governments, Michelle Wilde-Anderson
Democratic Dissolution: Radical Experimentation In State Takeovers Of Local Governments, Michelle Wilde-Anderson
Fordham Urban Law Journal
While state interventions to stabilize the finances of struggling municipalities date back to the Great Depression, the current fiscal crisis has brought a startling escalation in the powers granted to state intervention authorities. Aptly observed by Abby Goodnough in The New York Times, cities and states have tried “myriad ways of righting their fiscal ships as the recession plods on,” but until very recently, “locking the mayor out of City Hall [was] generally not one of them.” In 2010 and 2011, Michigan and Rhode Island, which have been watched closely by other states, dramatically reformed their laws governing state receiverships …

Slots In The City: A Critical Look At The Balance Of Decision-Making Power In Gaming Legislation, Eric B. Becker
Slots In The City: A Critical Look At The Balance Of Decision-Making Power In Gaming Legislation, Eric B. Becker
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Note focuses on the ability of local governmental bodies and local actors to become involved when a state seeks to introduce casino-based gaming or license additional casino properties. Traditionally, states retain the power to make most gaming-related decisions, sometimes only allowing simple "yes or no" voter referenda. This note argues that an increased role for local actors in bringing gaming to cities will best protect the interests of the people most affected by casinos. Part I provides a brief background of gambling in America and the key aspects of gaming-enabling legislation in various states. Part II discusses local government …
Election Fraud And The Initiative Process: A Study Of The 2006 Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, Jocelyn Friedrichs Benson
Election Fraud And The Initiative Process: A Study Of The 2006 Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, Jocelyn Friedrichs Benson
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Article details and analyzes the allegations of fraud that surrounded the placement of the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative on the 2006 Michigan ballot, with an emphasis on the normative concerns that such a phenomenon engenders. It seeks to place the Michigan events in the broader legal and historical context of election fraud and ballot initiatives, and discusses why the events surround the MCRI signature-gathering process are a serious cause for concern. The Article ultimately enumerates three specific state proposals, as well as a federal proposal, for addressing the use of fraud and misrepresentation in gathering signatures to place initiatives …
Saving Roe Is Not Enough: When Religion Controls Healthcare, Susan Berke Fogel, Lourdes A. Rivera
Saving Roe Is Not Enough: When Religion Controls Healthcare, Susan Berke Fogel, Lourdes A. Rivera
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article advocates for legislative action against the "religious exemptions" or "conscience clauses" used by religiously-affiliated healthcare facilities, particular in the context of refusing abortion, sterilization, and other reproductive health services. Among other recommendations, the authors call for religious exemptions on the individual rather than institutional level; that the religious exemption be disallowed in rural areas or situations where reasonable alternatives are unavailable; and a requirement that complete, medically accurate information be made available regardless of a religious exemption.
Econometric Analyses Of U.S. Abortion Policy: A Critical View, Jonathan Klick
Econometric Analyses Of U.S. Abortion Policy: A Critical View, Jonathan Klick
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article surveys, in non-technical language, various econometric studies on the correlation between changes in access to abortion (whether through legalization, increased public funding, increased safety, etc.) and social phenomena such as sexual activity, crime, and opportunities for women. It argues that many econometrics-based abortion studies are contentious, often yielding varying results depending on the stakes of those commissioning the studies, and often too technical to be useful to policy-makers. As a result of these shortcomings, the author calls for methodological soundness and publication for a more general audience for those social scientists who want to enter the reproductive rights …
The Abortion Debate Thirty Years Later: From Choice To Coercion, Maureen Kramlich
The Abortion Debate Thirty Years Later: From Choice To Coercion, Maureen Kramlich
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article critiques the notion of abortion as a "positive liberty." The author argues that the court's holding in Roe v. Wade created a negative right to abortion, meaning that an individual seeking an abortion is merely protected from government interference. Over time, "pro-abortion" advocates have sought a positive right to access an abortion, including government funding. The author finds this position problematic and outside the scope of Roe, particularly as it erodes religious healthcare providers' right to refuse to perform the procedure.
The Community Reinvestment Act And The Economics Of Regulatory Policy, Christopher A. Richardson
The Community Reinvestment Act And The Economics Of Regulatory Policy, Christopher A. Richardson
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article discusses the economic consequences and social implications of the Community Reinvestment Act. The CRA has direct economic effects on banks and neighborhoods and these neighborhoods also gain social benefits from the availability of credit which increase the quality of life in these areas. The article identifies the economic issues associated with providing access to credit in low and middle-income areas. Many of these problems are caused by the information asymmetry between lenders and borrowers because lenders do not realize the positive social benefits of the availability of credit in these areas. It contends that the ambiguous language of …
The Cra Implications Of Predatory Lending, Kathleen C. Engel, Patricia A. Mccoy
The Cra Implications Of Predatory Lending, Kathleen C. Engel, Patricia A. Mccoy
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article considers the Community Reinvestment Act's role in combating predatory lending. It provides an overview of the CRA, explains how CRA-covered lenders may enable predatory lending and explores the relationship between the CRA, federal subsidies and predatory lending. The article concludes that the CRA should be used to penalize lenders that engage in predatory lending and recommends that federal bank regulators use CRA to sanction behavior that could encourage further predatory lending.
