Local Government Law, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Mercer Law Review

In this day, the general practice which does not typically touch upon some aspect of "local government law" is a rare one indeed. What may once have been peripheral has become truly central. These realities were duly reflected during the survey period, when the appellate courts rendered more than 80 material decisions and the General Assembly enacted more than 20 notable measures.

The court decisions are arranged by subject matter, and only the most noteworthy legislative products are included. Not surveyed are local and special enactments, population statutes, and resolutions proposing amendments to the constitution but not yet ratified.

Private Club's Lease From City At Token Rental Does Not Constitute State Action, Chix Miller

Mercer Law Review

In Golden v. Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that where the City of Miami's only connection with the defendant yacht club was its lease of certain bay bottom lands to the club for $1 per year, the action of the club in barring blacks and members of the Jewish religion from membership did not constitute state action under 42 U.S.C.A. §1983.

Biscayne Bay Yacht Club was organized in 1887, nine years before the City of Miami became a municipality. Except for the lease, the City of Miami never participated in …

Texas Surface Mining And Reclamation Act - New Hope For Protection Of Texas Resources., Kay C. Martinez

St. Mary's Law Journal

Strip mining has been an increasingly important method of mineral extraction since the 1930's. It is economically preferable to shaft mining, for operator and consumer, because it extracts coal from the surface as opposed to the more costly methods of deep mining. More than 50% of all coal gets mined through the stripping method as of 1972. Unfortunately, some of the same characteristics which have made strip mining desirable have also produced extremely undesirable results in the environment. Sulfuric and sedimentary water pollution, caused by surface mining, affects the suitability of water for human consumption, and the stripping has often …

Restructuring The Legislature: A Proposal For Unicameralism In Washington, Randall A. Peterman, Philip Talmadge

Washington Law Review

The tenability of such a unicameral legislature in Washington will be analyzed by examining: 1) the background and history of unicameralism; 2) the effect of the reapportionment cases on the need for a bicameral legislature; 3) the "efficiency" of a unicameral as opposed to a bicameral legislature; and 4) means of implementing a change from bicameralism to unicameralism. In addition, results of the authors' poll of state legislators and a sample constitutional amendment are presented.

A Commerce Power Seesaw: Balancing National League Of Cities, J. Ralph Beaird, C. Ronald Ellington

Scholarly Works

This Article seeks to explore the developing principles of state sovereignty limitations on Congress’ exercise of its granted powers and the potential conflicts in reconciling the enforcement of strong federal policy interests with the allowance to the states of primary control over certain governmental functions. Since both tenth and eleventh amendment questions were raised by the application of the Fair Labor Standards Act’s ever broadening coverage to state employees and its grant of federal court jurisdiction over enforcement suits, and since the Act precipitated the League of Cities decision, the Court’s treatment of the Act will serve as the primary …
