Making Government Work, Robert W. Linn, Karen Flisek

Fordham Urban Law Journal

For a city or state government to be viable in the last decade of the 20th century, elected leaders must view modern management as a crusade. The work force must receive fair and equitable compensation, and all must be committed to constant quality improvement. Newspapers, magazines, radio and television must report the success stories and the failures. Taxpayers must understand that government services can improve, and the leaders must be held accountable. This is possible throughout the country but it will not happen unless an educated electorate demands it and the elected officials understand the stakes and urgency involved.

Boundaries and Water: Allocation and Use of a Shared Resource (Summer Conference, June 5-7)

Boundaries and Water: Allocation and Use of a Shared Resource is the topic of the Center's annual summer program on water this June. Most of the major rivers in the western United States are shared between two or more states. Often tribal governments play an important role in water allocation and use decisions. International considerations also may be involved in some cases. These interjurisdictional issues extend to groundwater as well as surface water.

Conference organizers and/or faculty included University of Colorado School of Law professors David H. Getches, Lawrence J. MacDonnell and Charles F. Wilkinson.

Protecting water quality is essential to preserve the many beneficial uses of western water resources. This conference addresses the dominant federal requirements in the Clean Water Act, including the important major revisions enacted by Congress in 1987, with special attention to western problems regarding nonpoint source pollution.

Judicial Review For Ohio's Civil Servants, Donald Applestein

Cleveland State Law Review

With the proliferation of administrative agencies, numerous problems are naturally encountered. In spite of the tendency toward problems, one would hope that in establishing these agencies, the legislature whether it be on the local, state, or federal level would do its utmost to insure uniformity within a given area. A review of sections 119.12, 143.27, and 2506 of the Ohio Revised Code and the relevant case law, however, reveals the Ohio legislature's failure to insure that uniformity.

The Council-Of- Governments Approach To Governmental Fragmentation, Louis F. Comus, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

Much of the current literature in the field of metropolitan government either sets forth examples of governmental difficulties and inefficiencies which result from the urbanization of our population or merely assumes that such difficulties exist. In either case the prescription usually involves some sort of "metropolitanization" of urban governmental structure. Since such prescriptions are aimed either at metropolitan difficulties in general or at particular inefficiencies, it is useful to consider some of the more frequent complaints. One factor often cited as contributing to various urban ills is the archaic governmental structure of many county governments in metropolitan areas. Counties which …

Reapportionment In The Supreme Court And Congress: Constitutional Struggle For Fair Representation, Robert G. Dixon Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Fair representation is the ultimate goal. At the time of the Reapportionment Decisions, much change was overdue in some states, and at least some change was overdue in most states. We are a democratic people and our institutions presuppose according population a dominant role in formulas of representation. However, by its exclusive focus on bare numbers, the Court may have transformed one of the most intricate, fascinating, and elusive problems of democracy into a simple exercise of applying elementary arithmetic to census data. In so doing, the Court may have disabled itself from effectively considering the more subtle issues …

Vanderbilt Law Review

The book is divided into three major parts. Included in each of these parts are articles written by men who have studied these issues at length. Part I, "The People and Their State Government," deals with issues regarding an individuals relationship to his state--his protections against and his control over governing authorities.
