I hope our current General Election in the UK is going to be decided on policies rather than personalities, but I very much doubt it. So far we've seen Tory politicians and the media hanging on every statement by Corbyn and trying to twist it against him personally rather than argue about policies, and in terms of photographs, a Conservative Party 'Information Officer' (according to her LinkedIn profile) promoting a clearly Photoshopped image of a voter on the doorstep giving a 'V-sign' to Corbyn. The original image shows her raising her fist in salute, and the over-large male hand which replaced hers with its aggressive gesture apparently is that of George Bush!
One of the issues clearly at stake in the election is the future of our National Health Service. Under the coalition and Tory governments privatisation of this, begun under New Labour, has continued apace and another Tory administration would take it to a position that might be irreversible and on the path to a very different service, probably insurance-based and modeled on the hugely expensive US health system, advocated some years back by Michael Gove and Jeremy Hunt among others.
Our NHS is clearly sick at the moment. Crippled by debts from New Labour's disastrous Private Finance Initiative, always a bad deal but made much worse by the financial crisis which meant the government lost its gamble on rising inflation, and having to deal with an aging population alongside a population increase partly due to its success in raising life expectancy, and with higher expectations from new and often expensive treatments, it needs support and not the bleeding of resources to private providers and their shareholders.
Getting back to photography, the image above shows that my Nikon 16-35mm f4 is also ailing somewhat, giving excessive flare in difficult lighting conditions such as the low sun at this early evening protest. Fortunately Lightroom recently added a de-haze option with the adjustment brush that enabled me to reduce its worst effect. I deliberately didn't try to remove it entirely from the woman's hair and the buildings behind.
Fortunately the light wasn't a problem in most pictures, but it did perhaps mean I didn't work so much in the sunlit areas. Complex modern lenses like the 16-35mm have a lot of glass surfaces, and although the lens is quite well sealed these can attract condensation in wet conditions, and I suspect some mould growth may be at the root of the overall flare.
Auto-focus has also added to the complexity of modern lenses, with a need to move groups of elements rapidly and precisely inside the lens barrel. The 16-35mm is also an internal zooming lens, which helps by avoiding the pumping of damp air in and out which occurs with lenses that alter their length on zooming, but also adds to complexity. And adding vibration reduction increases that further.
So while reviewers write things like "like all Nikon professional lenses, the Nikon 16-35mm VR lens is built to last a lifetime" this may accurately reflect Nikon's publicity, but unfortunately not my experience in real world conditions. After around four years of pretty intensive use it needed a very expensive repair, and a couple of years later seemed on its way to another – finally failing a few months after I took these pictures.
It has probably taken at least 400,000 images, so it hasn't done badly. The cost per image works out at something below 0.4p, which doesn't seem excessive. But lens lifetimes are considerably less than photographer's lifetimes now unless you stick with simpler designs.
I still haven't taken the lens in for a repair estimate, but I hold out little hope for its future and will be extremely if pleasantly surprised if it is not beyond economic repair. I needed a replacement quickly and ended up with a secondhand cheaper and lighter Nikon 18-35mm. It seems fine, but I often find myself missing those 2mm at the wide end – the difference between 16 and 18mm is surprising.
There were a few other images where some overall flare was visible, but Lightroom generally solved the issue, and there was also some light cloud which helped at times. But probably there were other pictures I just didn't take because I could see the light would cause problems. Though at least with digital you can afford to take images that you probably wouldn't chance on film.
Of course I wasn't only working with the wide-angle, but also with a 28-200mm telephoto, in use on the D810 in DX mode – effectively 42-300mm, as in this image of Matt Wrack speaking from the top of the FBU fire engine which had led the march from St Bartholomew's to the rally opposite St Paul's Cathedral.
Junior doctor Aislinn Macklin-Doherty who led the march also spoke from there. It was hard to find a suitable viewpoint for photographing the speakers – and I would have liked to have included the dome of St Paul's behind them to indicate the location, but couldn't get the right angle or perspective. The fire engine needs the bar across in front of the speakers for safety but it doesn't help in pictures, and my attempt at including one of the posters doesn't work too well as in the photograph it reads 'NHS Solidarit(y) NO' which was not the message!

The Global Wellness Institute describes wellness tourism as a travel associated with the search of maintaining one's personal well-being. The growing demands for wellness tourism have redefined the concept of traveling. Now, it is all about comfort, relaxation, and rejuvenation of the tourists.
The health-conscious tourists take a proactive step in tracking theirwell-being and make the right choices about services and products that are availableto them. The rising concern for human well-being has led to the rapid growth of the wellness industry.
According to the statistics of Global Wellness Tourism Economy Report, the travel industry is booming because of wellness tourism. It is anticipated that wellness tourism will grow by 9% per year through 2017, which is 50% faster than overall global tourism.
Global tourism has shown a steady growth in past few years but the incremental figure has been overshadowed by the rising count of the tourists opting for wellness tourism. This trend represents the change in one's lifestyle through a wellness program.
You may have read a lot about the wellness tourism but there are a few wellness tourism facts you may not know about it. Here are a few important points for understanding wellness tourism:
- Wellness tourism goes beyond the fitness regime:
Wellness tourism is not about hitting the gym of a luxury hotel during your vacation. The concept of wellness tourism is about changing your lifestyle and mind for your wellness. It is about detoxing your mind with yoga on the beach or mediation on the hill top. Wellness tourism is about detoxing and de-stressing your mind and soul. For understanding wellness tourism you need to experience it.
- Unwind with wellness tourism:
In your day to day mundane and stressful life, it is necessary to unwind your mind and body from time to time. And traveling is the best way to boost your mind and body to deal with the challenging phases of your life. Wellness tourism helps you to rejuvenate as you can temporary deviate from stress, tension, problems in your life. The goodness of nature can help you restore more positivity in your life. There are travelers who prefer to go to some remote places in search of peace and tranquility. These places are far from the hustle-bustle of big cities with almost no or low internet and mobile phone connectivity. So, you can simply relax and unwind yourself in the nature's lap.
- Both men and women are indulging themselves in wellness tourism:
Wellness tourism is quite popular among both men and women, and they go in search of places to improve their health and wellness. The wellness resorts are now the latest trend among the men and women. In order to enjoy wellness tourism, they choose a healthy lifestyle and diet. Indulging into a better lifestyle is now a fashion for most of the celebrities and business icons, so enjoy being healthy.
- On-demand wellness is in high demand:
Are you aware of the on-demand wellness? It is all about booking a spa or wellness treatment as per your interest. On-demand wellness may not be new to us but there is something more to it; it is about booking a wellness program according to your convenience of time and place. The growing demand for wellness tourism has introduced new ideas like customization of wellness program, based on the requirement of the customer.
- Therapeutic Wellness:
The millennia prefer to lead a healthy life either by hitting the gym or by opting for a good wellness program. However, there are some other youngsters who have taken wellness tourism to the next level with adrenaline rush activities like zip lining or white water river rafting or paragliding.
Therefore, wellness tourismhas evolved over few years,as the concept is no more restricted to relaxation or healing of mind, but enjoying the adrenaline rush activities like river rafting, trekking, paragliding and so on. Another important trend related to health and wellness is working on your bad food habits.
When health and wellness is the main goal, you are encouraged switching to a vegan menu and choosing gluten-free food. As a result, the travel industry is keeping up with a new eating habit of the tourists and trying to provide organic food on demand. These are the few wellness tourism facts you need to know before planning for it.

Meeting energy demand at a macro level starts with a micro – or molecular – approach.
ExxonMobil's Singapore manufacturing facility is doing just that to meet Asia's growing appetite for consumer products.
Singapore's newly-opened butyl and resins plants, part of ExxonMobil's largest integrated refining and petrochemical complex, are where specialty molecules are developed at a global scale. The plants have the capacity to produce 90,000 tonnes of hydrocarbon resins and 140,000 tonnes of halobutyl rubber annually – delivering the building blocks for everyday items used across Asia and the world.
The entire complex operates using cogeneration, which means energy is reused to engineer each molecule as efficiently as possible. And even after they leave the plants, the butyl and hydrocarbon resins help consumers do more with less. Butyl, for example, is a major ingredient in tires. It holds the air in tires, which helps maintain proper inflation, ultimately improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.
The plants' reach goes far beyond tires, however. Take a look below to see the other unexpected products that got their start at the butyl and resins plants.

We don't want to scare you, but you should know that the leading cause of death for people ages 16-24 in the United States is motor vehicle crashes. In Alabama, crashes are responsible for almost half of preventable deaths for residents 18 years old or younger.
Speeding, driver inexperience, aggressive and reckless driving, alcohol, and distractions such as cell phones are among the leading causes of young drivers wrecking their cars. And don't even get us started on the number of teens who don't wear their seat belts…

Sidmouth Running Club duo complete 'The Final Countdown'
PUBLISHED: 11:04 10 January 2020
What better way to finish an extraordinary year than with a new 10k trail run - The Final Countdown, writes Terry Bewes.
Milly Frankpitt and Terry Bewes (yours truly) took part in the race with Allan Kay and Adrian Horne keeping a watchful eye over the competitors by being diligent Marshals
The Final Countdown 10km race took place in and around the Dartington Hall Estate and was organised by Winding Paths.
The event was well organised with ample parking and a cafe close to the start/finish line.
It was also a sell-out, so when this running event comes around again on December 31, 2020, signing up early is a must.
Milly and myself listened to the race briefing telling us that the start and finish were in the same place.
At the top of a hill for a long downhill run.
However, it soon dawned on us both that it would be a long uphill drag at the end, all the way to the finish line! This was not a personal best (PB) course thanks to the gates and stiles, but it does make the runners start at an easy pace. The route took us through woods, up and down hills, along stoney paths with a bit of tarmac and across fields with a lot of very sticky mud throughout.
There were also some technical sections to keep us on our toes and a third of the run is through fields beside the River Dart with the steam railway on the other side.
With all the beautiful Devonian scenery distracting us, we were soon at the bottom of that aforementioned and dreaded uphill section to the finish line.
We gritted our teeth, dug deep, remembering we were in our Mighty Green colours, and took it on. Both of us ran the race together, so finishing together was a must.
We crossed the line in a time of 1:16:19 to complete the route in 150th and 151st places out of the 245 finishers to collect a very nice medal for our efforts.

I probably know more about this drug than 99% of the members, since I have been on it for 30 years for chronic hives. With that said, I just wanted to let you know a couple of things about this stuff.#1- it is very important that you take this exactly as prescribed, which will be some kind of tapering dose. The reason is that when you take it, your adrenal glands basically go to sleep, & you need your adrenal glands to live. So if you decide you don't like it, or it has weird side effects, make sure you don't just quit your pack halfway through without checking with your Dr first. I'm not sure what the tapering schedule is for those of you who take the packs, I'm guessing starting at a high dose & going down 5 or 10 mg a day over a week or two. I'm on 10 mg a day, which is a relatively low dose, but if I were to try & get off of it, it would take about a year of tapering to "wake up" my adrenal glands, & not go through pretty awful withdrawals.

Bitmain Buys Browser Based Bitcoin Cash Wallet- Telescope
Bitmain, the cryptocurrency mining supplier behemoth recently announced its Hong Kong IPO and has now announced that it has acquired bitcoin cash startup.
Yes, Bitmain has been busy this past couple of months. The telescope is a bitcoin cash wallet supporting Google Chrome and Firefox, to enable instant transactions. This came into existence earlier this year. However, the team has plans to expand it to other platforms as well.
The lead developer at Telescope, Aaron Angert says "I am extremely proud of what Telescope has been able to achieve so far. I am excited for its future with the additional help and support of Bitmain."
We are honored to be a part of the Bitcoin Cash community, as a vibrant collection of individuals. Contributing to the development of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency industry.
BitPay and moneybutton.com support this app. The wallet maintains storage of a cryptographic key within the browser extension. Additionally, here are the download links:

We recently heard about a new restaurant in Charles Town, WV (about 10 miles away from Shepherdstown) that specializes in local foods, similar to Stone Soup Bistro here on German Street. We don't generally go anywhere for dinner other than right here in town, but a new restaurant gives us a good excuse to venture out a little. We were not disappointed in our meal at Dish, at 213 W. Washington Street across from Needful Things. It's easy to miss the sign but there's a large awning across the front. It was pouring rain when we arrived but the decor is warm and cozy so we settled right in.
There is a full bar and we started with a beer for Jim and a glass of wine for me. I ended up with two glasses after the first one that arrived was not what I ordered, one of my favorites – a Dr. Loosen reisling. We each had a cup of soup to start. Mushroom and turkey/rice were the specials and we had one of each. My mushroom soup was creamy with nice hearty chunks of mushroom and nice seasoning; Jim enjoyed his as well. Perfect to warm up with! Our dining companions had fried pumpkin ravioli and a crab cake starter – both shared around the table. The crab cake was appropriately crabby and had an interesting curry sauce.
Dinner for me was hangar steak with herbed fries and braised kale; Jim had the cannelloni with mushroom ragout. The fries were out of this world – crispy, salty and herby. The kale was buttery. The hangar steak on its own was a little underseasoned but the chimichurri sauce on the plate added a nice flavor. Jim's pasta was also tasty – the portions were large enough that we each took some leftovers home. Too full for dessert, but our friends had the trio of chocolate and enjoyed it very much, especially the chocolate coconut ice cream.
Prices are reasonable with entrees in the $15 to $25 range. Dish's phone number is (304) 728-8464 and they are closed on Mondays.

Wipro agrees to pay $5 million to SEC to settle six-year-old caseMonday, February 20, 2017
Bengaluru, Dec. 23 -- Wipro Ltd, India's third largest software firm, said it had reached a $5 million civil settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to close the investigation and end a six-year case, according to a company statement sent to the stock exchange. "In agreeing to the settlement, the company neither admits nor denies the SEC's allegations that the company violated certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)," said a statement sent to the stock exchange on Friday. "The SEC has credited the company's cooperation and remedial measures in arriving at the settlement. Under the terms of the settlement, company consents to pay a civil money penalty of $5 million, to cease and desist from committing or causing violations of the Exchange Act, and to undertake certain follow through actions." "The company is pleased to formally resolve and put this six-year-old matter behind it," it said. The case refers to the SEC investigation that started against the company in September 2010 after Wipro found in December 2009 a junior-rank employee had embezzled $4 million. The company found that the employee since November 2006 had got money through multiple financial transactions, all of which had gone unnoticed from anyone at the company, owing to then lax internal processes. Wipro later brought in internal consultants to investigate the case and fixed the internal processes, as the incident tarnished the image of the company and was an embarrassment for the management. "The company considers the settled resolution of this long-pending matter to be an efficient approach and in the best interests of the company and its investors to avoid the cost associated with a prolonged litigation," said the statement.

There were many names that were brought to the table for consideration.. Obi was considered ahead of others because of many factors..an insider within Atiku's camp has revealed.
(1)Mr. Obi's choice was largely influenced by his youthfulness, ..
(2)vast knowledge of global and local economics as well as being a financial expert …
(3)Obi has a robust background in the private sector and tall achievements in governance."
(4) Obi is humble.
(5)He ran Anambra State well when he was the governor.
(6)He is not flamboyant and he has knowledge of the economy.
(7)Obi is believed to have some sort of followership in the country, especially in the South-East, even though his candidate lost the governorship election in his state.
(8)It is believed that he will do well as a vice president without rocking the boat
(9)It is believed that he will also serve as a check to the PDP government,against excesses,flamboyant spending.
(10)Apart from Obasanjo, it was also gathered that a former President, Goodluck Jonathan, and some northern leaders and retired generals were consulted before Obi was picked.
(11)Obi's choice we learn was allegedly designed to woo the Igbo who had been complaining of marginalization…
the marginalization of the Igbo was one of the issues which PDP had promised to address.
"Since Ekwueme lost the presidential primaries to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Igbo have not had a fair share of power at the centre."

It's all around us. For centuries we have been told that we cannot touch it. We cannot taste it. We cannot hold it. We cannot even see it. We have been told that we cannot catch the wind.
But what if we can catch the wind? What if we can use the power of this unlimited abundant source to power our cities and industries? What if this invisible source can be tamed in a smarter, more efficient way to provide sustainable nergy to our future generations to come? What if?
Another 'What if' story that is being explored at Cargo Power & Infrastructure.
The Magic of the Wind:
Wind is a derived form of the energy from the Sun itself. Caused by uneven heating of the air, the irregularities of the earth's surface, and rotation of the earth, Wind can be used to generate usable electric power. The wind flow, or motion energy, when leveraged by modern wind turbines produces clean and sustainable power.
The terms "wind energy" or "wind power" describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes, businesses, schools, and the like.

"There are two kinds of investors, be they large or small: Those who don't know where the market is headed, and those who don't know that they don't know. Then again, there is a third type of investor: The investment professional, who indeed knows that he or she doesn't know, but whose livelihood depends upon appearing to know".
– William Bernstein
The above quote likely resonates with those who have followed any financial market for long enough, and the foreign exchange market is certainly not an exception. Nevertheless, those tasked with managing FX risk are often asked either where they think various FX rates are headed, or more commonly, to find out where "the pros" think they are headed. Far too often, someone in Corporate Treasury is asked to poll their relationship bankers in an attempt to determine the consensus FX rate forecasts, and then incorporate these directional views into the company's hedging strategy. Surely these highly paid economic PhDs must know something more than the rest of us?
Professional v. Current Spot FX forecasting update
Analysis of consensus* FX forecasts as compared to a spot rate method ** of simply using the existing spot rate as the best estimate of future spot rate finds that the pros consistently do WORSE than the spot rate forecasting method.
Why is this? As William Bernstein has pointed out, professionals aren't necessarily getting paid to be accurate, and are often incented to make a bold prediction with the hope that it will come to pass. Nobody gives much credit to a boring but accurate forecast that may be similar to today's environment, but a shocking prediction will probably generate more discussions or clicks, and potentially a future high-profile interview if it turns out to be accurate. Worse yet, when a certain directional view becomes widely held by the forecasters (and therefore most likely to show up in a consensus forecast), this is often reflective of investments already being made in that direction, with little fuel left in the market to add to the trend. In absence of new money to help move in the forecasted direction, the markets often turn the other way, making these consensus forecasts contrarian indicators more often than accurate forecasts.
* Bloomberg Consensus.
** Using the spot rate on Dec 31 as the forecast for the following four quarter EUR.
*** The Current Spot vs. Professional forecast for the JPY and EUR against the USD was accurate for 7 out of 11 years.

What is the Difference Between Shatter and Wax?
Shatter and wax are growing in popularity as a means of consuming medical marijuana. Both variants are highly concentrated THC composites allowing for a faster, more effective high to help deal with stress and pain in medical marijuana users. Let's discuss some of the key differences in the cannabis concentrates to help settle the wax vs. shatter debate.
First, let's focus on the similarities. Wax and shatter are both called BHOs, or butane hash oils, as they are made in a process where butane is used to extract the essential cannabinoids and terpenes and is removed to leave you with a highly concentrated product.
While the commonly smoked flower of medical marijuana may contain a THC concentration up to 22 percent, these different types of concentrates are commonly at 80 percent or higher, hence why vaporizing concentrate, also known as dabbing, has grown in popularity.
So how do shatter and wax differ? While they are prepared in the same manner and have roughly the same potency, there are a few things that make marijuana shatter and wax unique from each other.
Unique Characteristics of Shatter
Shatter gets its name because it's essentially glass on a molecular level, so it shatters. It is transparent, brittle and is similar to a hard candy. Shatter, by nature of its molecular makeup, tends to be more stable and has a longer shelf life than its BHO counterpart, but it can be a little harder to handle because of how brittle it is.
As far as its use goes, it can hit your lungs a bit harder than wax. And because it is fragile, it requires more care than wax does.
Unique Characteristics of Wax
Marijuana wax has very similar physical features to ear wax, hence the name. Wax is easier to make than shatter, and is also made at a lower temperature.
It is the higher heat that allows shatter to take on its glass-like appearance and molecular structure. In wax, the molecules are a bit more jumbled and messy, which is why it's generally a more opaque substance.
As a result of the molecules not being as finely packed, wax is easier to handle.
If you're looking for the highest-quality medical marijuana, Arizona Natural Selections has the product for you. Contact us to learn more, visit our Scottsdale or Peoria location to see our products, or pre-order your next batch of wax or shatter online to and pick it up at any of our three locations – Mesa, Peoria, or Scottsdale.

12 He will hold up a signal to the nations And assemble the banished of Yisrael, And gather the dispersed of Yehuda From the four corners of the earth.

11:12 And assemble the banished of Yisrael
For thousands of years, Jews read these prophecies and believed them, yet wondered how and when they would actually take place. During the past century, Jews have returned to the Land of Israel from literally all parts of the earth: from Asia and Russia, Europe, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand. This section was chosen as the Haftarah portion to be read on Israel's Independence Day, expressing the hope and belief that the founding of the State of Israel is the beginning of the fulfillment of these prophecies.

Managing money isn't always easy… especially when it doesn't seem like there's enough to go around. Bills, rent or mortgage payments, living expenses, and the rising cost of gasoline can all make your money appear to vanish before you've even had a chance to count it; you're then left holding the bag when your children or even your spouse comes to you seeking a few dollars to help them get by.
This is where creating a household budget can be a lifesaver. By creating a budget, and learning personal tips, you can better see where your money is going and where it needs to go. Pay attention to the following tips:
Prepare Your Family Budget
Set Up a Budget
Below is a sample worksheet that you can use:
Learning these techniques will help you when setting up a family budget planner. Your budget won't make you suddenly have more money. If used properly, however, it can help you to limit unnecessary expenses and let you know exactly how much you can afford to spend on non-essential items. A family budget can even help you to set up savings for the future and establish habits in your children that can assist them later in their lives.

Folk Pop. - Sami Simon: The Dreams We Had
Leaves us with an appreciation for the little details that can make all the difference in someone's life.
Sami Simon captures intimate feelings within the scope of his beautiful compositions: as an introvert that was often homebound during childhood, he developed a rich inner world to draw upon, always longing for a deeper understanding of the connection between people and things.
Simon recently signed with Amsterdam-based label Revanche Records and released his debut EP Edges this year. It joins the country-roots sound of Wilco with the folk-pop flavor of Mt. Joy, and leaves us with an appreciation for the little details that can make all the difference in someone's life.
I remember all the dreams we had, and how they made us feel that life ain't bad
The Dreams We Had, the latest from Berlin's Sami Simon, is a dynamic mid-tempo groove with the soul of a pop song, punctuated with long notes from the lap steel and a bed of warm honey from the synthesizer.
Sami Simon is a singer-songwriter and abstract painter from Berlin, Germany. This song is featured on our Country playlist.

Colorado startup BurstIQ has raised $250,000 from Colorado Springs-based PV Ventures for its cloud-based data aggregation platform for providers and patients.
"The combination of sensors, mobile, and platform will make healthcare personal again, and it will also generate a lot of sensitive data," BurstIQ CEO Frank Ricotta said in a statement. "We believe data should be secure and private; that is our first priority. We also believe that the need for a highly secure platform shouldn't limit the benefits and use of data. Data needs to be sharable, accessible, and usable. Insights derived from the data will drive individual empowerment, personalized care relationships, better outcomes, and reduced costs."
BurstIQ's platform syncs data from mobile devices and sensors, integrates all of the information it collects into a common analytics model stored in the cloud, and them aims to make sense of the data. As the program learns more about a user, it will adjust its insights to adapt to the user's behavior patterns and characteristics.
"This is a game-changer for digital health data access and we believe that the innovative security features that are at the core of the product can extend beyond digital health, providing a foundational capability to protect an individual's privacy," PV Ventures Managing Director Bill Miller said in a statement.
The company recently spun out of 10.10.10, an accelerator powered by The Colorado Health Foundation. It lists IBM, MongoDB, Prime Health, Cloudera, and OpenStack as its partners.
Earlier this year, another company focused on data aggregation for providers, called Human API, raised $6.6 million. The company offers providers an infrastructure they can use to create a health platform that enables a group of patients to share data with their caregivers. HumanAPI allows providers to create a platform (either online or via mobile devices) that syncs different health apps and devices through a single authentication point. Human API also takes care of backend data management so its customers can aggregate data from a single API.

At face value, Amendment 74 sounds like the sort of train ride we should all jump on. But study the issue a little deeper, and small warning flags quickly become screaming alarm sirens.
Purportedly aimed at protecting property rights, Amendment 74 actually opens local and state governments up to frivolous, expensive litigation that could cost taxpayers billions of dollars in the end.
This poorly-worded measure would allow property owners to sue the government for virtually any regulation they don't like, even rules that were in place long before folks actually acquired the property. It would be OK to claim a reduction in property value caused by most anything — a new big-box store, a gravel pit, a subdivision, a single home — almost anything. It also could cripple local government's ability to keep certain types of land use away from each other, such as keeping industrial activities away from hospitals and landfills away from nursing homes.
The general language of the question itself leaves more questions than it answers. If the government must pay for "taking" a reduction in property value, then who actually owns that land or parcel thereof? The government? The people? The original landowner?
Amendment 74 would severely limit the ability of Colorado's state and local governments to take any action that might indirectly, unintentionally, or minimally affect the fair market value of any property.
Governments would be vulnerable to lawsuits for almost every decision to regulate or not to regulate, making regular governmental functions prohibitively expensive for the taxpayer.
We should learn from history and not repeat mistakes. Oregon is the poster child of good intentions gone bad. A similar measure there a few years ago meant the state faced almost $20 billion in claims in just the first three years. Local governments there were forced to pay out more than $4.5 billion, figures high enough that some counties and municipalities were facing bankruptcy. When Oregonians realized just how costly the measure was, they repealed the law just three short years later.
In Colorado, Amendment 74 has strong opposition by a broad, bipartisan coalition. Many groups including labor unions, environmental organizations, teachers, firefighters, police, cities and counties — groups that don't always agree in the political arena — have voiced strong opposition. In fact, both Colorado Counties Inc. and Colorado Municipal League also are intensely opposed, as is Action 22, an organization comprised of the 22 southeastern counties in Colorado, a vastly rural area.
We, as Fremont County Commissioners, also voice strong opposition, because the potential cost to taxpayers is staggering. Out-of-state special interests are bankrolling those lavish, expensive ads we all suffer through. It's our state, it needs to be our decision.
Our property rights already are protected by the Fifth Amendment of our Constitution, which has served us well over the past 231 years.
Amendment 74 is poorly worded, too broad, and simply bad for taxpayers. Its unintended consequences are inherently dangerous.
Protect yourself as a taxpayer and citizen. Vote "no" on Amendment 74.
The Fremont County Commissioners can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
