Washington Digest: Senate clears online sales tax bill

Peter Urban

Stephens Washington Bureau

The Senate approved legislation last week to expand the ability of states to collect state and local sales taxes on purchases made over the Internet.

Online merchants now are only required to collect sales taxes in states where they have a physical presence, like administrative offices or distribution warehouses. The bill that passed 69-27 allows states to require taxes be remitted on all online sales.

The National Conference of State Legislatures estimates states lost $23 billion last year because they couldn’t fully collect taxes.

Bill supporters said the legislation would help stores now at a disadvantage because consumers shop online to avoid paying sales tax.

“This bill is about leveling the playing field between brick-and-mortar and online retailers and collecting a tax that is already due,” said Sen. Michael Enzi, R-Wyo.

National retailers, including Wal-Mart favored the bill. also supported it while online services like eBay and opposed it.

Opponents argued that the proposal essentially creates a new tax and that online retailers would be burdened by complicated requirements to collect taxes for state and local entities that differ on rates as well as what is subject to taxation.

“This bill would hurt economic growth and would be a mistake,” said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. “If enacted, it would in effect create a national Internet sales tax.”

Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, voted for the bill. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, voted against it.

The House has not acted on the legislation.

Gun amendment set aside

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., failed to win enough votes to reverse a ban on guns at camps and parks run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

“Americans who camp, hunt, or fish on these federally managed lands are prevented from exercising their Second Amendment rights that have been guaranteed by the Supreme Court,” Coburn said.

The measure was offered as an amendment to a water resources bill. It would have required the Corps of Engineers to honor state “conceal and carry” laws just as is now required of the Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service and National Park Service.

Coburn noted that more people visit lake and river projects than national parks – 370 million annually compared to 280 million, he said.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., argued against the amendment, saying it could jeopardize national security. The proposal, she said, would allow people to carry weapons on critical infrastructure such as dams, reservoirs, hydroelectric powerhouses and navigation locks.

The Senate voted 56-43 for the amendment, falling four votes shy of the 60 votes needed.

Grassley voted for it. Harkin voted against it.

Overtime regulations

The House approved a bill that would allow employers to provide time off to workers instead of overtime pay.

Republican proponents portrayed it as a boon to working families who may prefer time at home to a bigger paycheck.

“The Working Families Flexibility Act simply removes an outdated federal policy that denies private sector workers the flexibility they need to better balance family and work,” said Rep. John Kline, R-Minn.

Democrats argued against it, saying that it undermines existing rights to overtime pay that many families rely on to make ends meet.

“All these representations that the worker gets to choose are, in fact, not correct,” said Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn. “At the end of the day, the employer has the right to veto any comp time that this bill has allowed to accrue over any period of time.”

The bill cleared the House, 223-204. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, voted for it. Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, voted against it.

Debt prioritization

The House voted along party lines to require the Treasury Department to prioritize how it repays public debt if Congress fails to raise the federal debt limit expected to reach its $16.4 trillion ceiling later this year.

Republican proponents said the legislation would protect the nation’s credit rating by removing the threat of default. Democrats who opposed the measure argued that it would essentially guarantee that debt held by foreigners would be covered ahead of serving the needs of American citizens.

“What this bill says is, okay, let’s pay China and other foreign bondholders first, not American troops, not disabled veterans, not physicians, providers who treat Medicare patients,” said Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich.

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., said the bill would “credibly and permanently” remove the threat of default and would encourage the Obama administration to address the debt crisis that caused Standard & Poors to downgrade the U.S. credit rating in 2011.

“It’s nearly two years later, and neither the president nor congressional Democrats have offered a serious plan that would address the problems that caused the downgrade in the first place,” Camp said.

The Obama administration issued a statement strongly opposing the bill that cleared the House, 221-207.

King voted for it and Braley voted against it.

A Gorgeous pair of Exotic Short Hair Kitties. The black one is female 10 month old and the white one is only 3 month old male. They love to play together and cuddle up together so I really want them to stay together at their new home. They are not fixed as I've initially wanted them to be a couple and make a family together. Unfortunately, I have to let them go has I urgently need to go overseas. They are playful, like to cuddle with you and just beautiful, they have that distinctive Persian / Exotic faces and demeanor. If you are a cat person who can adore both of them together please call or text me. They need a new home urgently. I've paid about $1000 per kitty so am asking $1500 for both but it is negotiable as finding a good home is more important. Please just note that I've put in a lot of efforts finding and adopting the perfect, beautiful Exotic Short Hairs. They are not fixed but fully vaccinated and are living at my home, I'm not a breeder.

Real (Handy) Men

Two brothers turn a successful home renovation business into a reality show on the DIY Network.

Terry Wittmaack, left, and brother Jon are the stars of Brothers on Call. The two complement each other well. “I’m the businessman, Terry’s the builder,” says Jon.
Courtesy of DIY Networks/Scripps Networks.

It’s easy to see why brothers Terrence and Jonathan Wittmaack, stars of the new reality show Brothers on Call, are referred to by the DIY Network as polar opposites.

“Terry’s married with three children and lives in suburbia,” says Jon, 35. “I’m single and live in Hoboken. He’s level-headed and I’m a complete nut.”

The brothers are co-owners of Man Around the House, a Ridgewood-based home renovation and remodeling business launched by their father, John Wittmaack, in the early 1990s. The senior Wittmaack envisioned a modest business “to change lightbulbs for old ladies with big houses,” they say. The business grew and Terry, who lives in Ridgewood, joined forces with his dad. After John Wittmaack died in 2002, Jon joined the business.

The brothers might be opposites, but their skills are complementary. “I’m the businessman, Terry’s the builder,” says Jon. Together they’ve built a thriving local business; Terry, 40, claims they’ve done work on at least 50 percent of the 8,000 homes in Ridgewood.

Now they are building new careers as reality-TV stars. Brothers on Call, which premieres at 9 pm on October 16, is intended to both entertain and inform homeowners looking for tutorials on everything from building a deck to hanging a swing. Each episode unspools in three parts: the planning, the build and the reveal. “The final reveal part is where the homeowner goes, ‘Wow, I can’t believe how awesome my kitchen is,’” says Jon.

The brothers have mixed feelings about becoming celebrities. “It’s almost surreal; we’re so excited,” says Terry, adding they have had a number of concerns since being approached about doing a show. “My biggest concern is my family,” Terry says. He wants to make sure viewers know “my brother and I may have differences of opinion, but at the end of the day we have a common goal, and we’re hard workers who run a legitimate business.”

Jon has his concerns, too, not least that he and Terry might be lumped in with other New Jersey reality TV stars known for less-constructive exploits. Jon is doing his best to avoid any confusion pre-emptively: “Basically, we don’t use gel in our hair,” he says.

Enabler Vocalist Jeff Lohrber Hates Modern Metalcore With a Passion

Southern Lord

Enabler vocalist/guitarist Jeff Lohrber hates modern metalcore with a passion. “Everything that’s popular these days is void of guitar riffs, void of soul. It annoys the living piss out of me and I feel like I have to do something about that.” It just so happens that Jeff and the Milwaukee quartet play passionate, metallic hardcore better than most. And that’s sans breakdowns or Djent grooves.

“Most of these bands are as dispensable as hair bands in the ’80s,” he states. “But, the thing about hair bands is that they were entertaining. I can get some entertainment out of listening to Bon Jovi or Poison. I can’t get anything out of listening to some D-tuned mosh band.”

Here’s another thing that Jeff and Enabler hate.

Having to prove themselves as a basement-show-credible band in spite of having a drummer (Andy Hurley) whose CV includes The Damned Things, Earth Crisis (for whom he fills in for) and most damningly – Fall Out Boy. “I love Andy’s early bands Racetraitor and killtheslavemaster, but I’m definitely not a Fall Out Boy fan.” Actually, just days before this interview, Hurley turned in his walking papers.

Apparently the Limp Bizkit of Pop-Punk is about to get it back together. “I can’t tell you how sick I had gotten of the whole Fall Out Boy thing. Every single interview was ‘What’s it like to play with the drummer of Fall Out Boy?’ Look, he’s just my friend who plays drums. A lot of people see him and they’re like ‘Whoa, I didn’t expect him to play drums like that. You probably expected him to suck because he’s in Fall Out Boy.”

Now Sugar, please stay the fuck down. Enabler’s Southern Lord debut All Hail The Void is out and crushes. It’s the end-result of two years, two drummers and Lohrber having plied his road skills as touring drummer with Dead to Fall, Today Is the Day and Shai Hulud, as well as playing guitar and fronting his own band, Harlots. Enabler was born right after getting home from a particularly unpleasant tour as the drummer for Trap Them: “I had kind of a bad experience at the end with them,” he says.

Watch Enabler: Live in Scottsdale, AZ (June 25, 2012)

Add to that fellow guitarist and album producer Greg Thomas is also a veteran of Shai Hulud (who isn’t?), Zombie Apocalypse and With Honor. On the other hand, bassist Amanda Daniels, has zero priors on her record. “This is Amanda’s first band,” says Jeff. “The first show she played she was a little nervous but a tour in she was a female Cliff Burton!”

“My favorite bands in 1998 were probably Today Is the Day, Earth Crisis, Shai Hulud and Racetraitor,” Jeff gushes. “I think it’s kinda cool that I have a band now that is comprised of people who have gotten to play with all of these awesome bands.”

All Hail The Void is Metalcore with the emphasis on “Core” – as in the brutal, often crust-scraping, D-beat-driven, emotional (not “Emo”) Hardcore at the guts of songs like “Speechless” or the moody slow-crawl of “They Live, We Sleep,” which Lohrber, a self-professed “music nerd” admits was influenced by the last Amebix album. While he has seen countless bands become “professional mosh bands” and “treat this more like a job than a means of expression”, Lohrber sees Enabler embracing a more honest and DIY path. “We want to be real and honest and in your face and not afraid to play a basement,” he says with a fervor. “Who fucking cares how much we’re getting paid a night? I just want to play in front of 30 people who care what I have to say.”

Listen to “The Heathens”

Enabler’s recent tour of the U.S. opening the Southern Lord ‘Power of the Riff’ package with Black Breath, Burning Love and Swedish crusties Martyrdod proved a lot more successful than a trek through the better basements of America. Lohrber also handled overall tour manager duties for the jaunt making for an exhausting few weeks.

When asked about the things that surprised him about the scene to which they played, Jeff is candid.

“Drugs,” he states. “How can you possibly be into this? This is so not punk to me. You’re so fucking over people in third world countries by giving into this drug that is a waste of your fucking money. Seeing that alive in punk rock annoyed me. OK, ‘let’s keep the shows all ages’ but let’s bring coke to it. That’s for the bar-metal scene – let’s keep it there. I’m not straight-edge by any means but it’s completely detrimental to punk rock or DIY.”

OK, so how does Enabler “fit in” to today’s heavy music landscape? “We don’t,” Lohrber states. “We have big, loud, obnoxious guitars and real drums, not some computerized drum machine. We’re rock ‘n’ roll. A lot of what’s popular right now in Metalcore is copied off Meshuggah. I have Meshuggah records. I don’t need to hear Meshuggah riffs in 20 other bands. I think if I was in Meshuggah, I’d be insulted.

“I think for some bands, they make records because it’s a job,” Jeff states. “‘OK, it’s time to go to work, I’m going to go make the record.’ Literally, that’s why you have records like St. Anger. For me, this is something a lot deeper. This is something I have to do.”

Be Careful What You Ask For

The nitwits to our immediate North have been moaning about how terrible will be the Supercity; how they wanted to retain their rural identity. So the gummint listened and gave them what they wanted.

Local leaders are surprised to hear that the Government is planning to split Rodney District in two, leaving urban Whangaparaoa and Orewa in the Super City and the area north of Waiwera being merged with Kaipara District Council.

The split is understood to be a compromise to appease a strong desire, particularly among northern rural communities, to be excluded from the Super Auckland Council.

But now they don't want it.

Why, because all the while they've been quietly bludging off their southern neighbours for the cost of their transport and sewerage systems.

"Auckland ratepayers currently help pay for services in Rodney and Kaipara, including public transport, stormwater management, biosecurity and pest control," he said.

"If the northern boundary was changed, the money for these services would need to be found elsewhere.".........

........"Mayor Penny Webster said the council was appalled that the Government would consider splitting Rodney.

"All it is going to do is to deliver to the people of northern Rodney an uneconomic entity."

Well, in for a Penny, in for a pound, I say. They'll have to pay for the bloody lot yourselves and about time too. She looks big enough to be able to handle it.

Without wishing to be in breach of your posting criteria but why on earth do people in Auckland have such huge diffuculties doing anything. I dont think they had this much trouble re-organising Yugoslavia. The rest of us are sick to death of stupid moaning Jaffa,s.

Anon, most of us Jaffas are sick of them too.

No comment is necessary. You should be asking 'Was that comment helpful?" I think it was. She is obviously a person of statuesque proportion, a quality necessary when one finds oneself with one's back to the wall, so to speak.

It will take a big girl in all respects to sell the idea to the burghers of Warkworth that from here on in, they have to pay their own way.

Necessary? Is that a requirement?

I only looked in to see if there would be the inevitable about big girls.

Abstract: The interaction of -amylase (from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) with Mg²⁺ ion was studied using UV spectrophotometric and isothermal titration calorimetric (ITC) methods at 27ºC in 30 mM Tris buffer solution at pH = 7.0. The binding isotherm for metal-protein interaction was easily obtained by carrying out ITC experiment at two different concentrations (2 μM and 50 μM) of the protein. ⍺-Amylase had eight identical and independent binding sites for Mg²⁺ ion, which showed non-cooperativity in the binding process. The binding of Mg²⁺ ion was exothermic (ΔH= 17.3 kJ mol⁻¹) with association binding constant of 2.08 mM⁻¹. The binding slightly destabilized the enzyme against thermal denaturation, as evident from absorption studies.

Churchill J. Brazelton:

An Inventory of His Correspondence at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center

Creator: Brazelton, Churchill J., 1920-1980
Title: Churchill J. Brazelton Correspondence
Dates: 1942-1946
Extent: 2 boxes (.84 linear feet)
Abstract: This collection contains correspondence written by Brazelton to his mother and others while serving in the army during World War II.
RLIN Record #: TXRC03-A10
Language: Most of the material is in English .

Open for research.

Gift, 1974

Justin Glasson, 2002; Richard Workman, 2003

The University of Texas at Austin, Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center

Churchill J. "Chuck" Brazelton was born in 1920 and had just graduated from Princeton when he was drafted into the army in 1943. The son of well-connected parents Thomas Berry and Pauline Battle Brazelton of Waco, Texas, Brazelton was able to secure a spot in Officer Candidate School. Following basic training and censorship school, he landed a series of fortunate assignments in Northern Ireland, London, and Paris during the final months of World War II. The young Lt. Brazelton found himself "living a king's life at the government's expense, and getting paid for it!"

In Paris he charmed his way into the elite social circles of the Parisian aristocracy. For four months--which he called "the finest of my life" --he was a regular guest at their clubs, châteaus, and cocktail parties.

At the start of 1945, Brazelton was promoted to First Lieutenant and moved to the First Army Headquarters in Belgium. There he worked as a press liaison and censor, and spent most of his days with the civilian press corps, including correspondents from the major U.S. networks and wire services. In February the press corps moved into Germany following the advance of Allied forces toward Berlin. Brazelton's press camp formed the nucleus of Task Force Berlin, an assembly of some 200 correspondents from Europe and America that participated in the Allies' triumphal entry into Soviet-controlled Berlin in July 1945.

The press liaison job ended in August, and Brazelton returned to Paris where he worked for the army's Visitor Bureau, entertaining generals, congressmen, and other VIPs. He remained in Paris until the spring of 1946, when he returned to the United States and was discharged from the army.

Brazelton died in 1980.

The Churchill J. Brazelton Correspondence contains more than 200 letters, postcards, Christmas cards, and V-mails written by Brazelton to his mother while serving in the army during World War II. The correspondence is arranged in a single chronological series which spans 1942-1946.

A few letters were written or received by other family members or acquaintances; because these relate closely to the main correspondence from Brazelton to his mother, they have been filed chronologically with the rest. In addition to his mother, Brazelton addressed letters in the collection to Mrs. W. E. Darden (a neighbor in Waco), his brother T. Berry Brazelton (who later became a nationally prominent pediatrician), Mrs. Blanton (owner of a flower shop in Waco), his sister Mrs. Rosalis Van der Stucken, and his Aunt Sing. The collection also includes letters written to his mother by Nora Hall and Agnes Johnston (friends of Brazelton's in Northern Ireland), Charlie Red (an uncle?), and his brother Berry.

Most of Brazelton's correspondence sticks to a routine set of topics: his material conditions and comforts; purchases of decorative objects, art, furniture, clothing, and perfume and the problems of shipping them to the U.S.; requests for clothing, food, and other amenities; and his leisure-time activities, travels, and social events. Less frequent, though perhaps of more interest, are Brazelton's observations on the hardships of war.

Topics of particular interest that are well represented by the collection include the art, antiques, and luxury-item market in Europe during the war; the social life of the French aristocracy, especially regarding dining, entertaining, and fashion; and economic and social conditions in Germany and France in the months following the war. Pertaining to this last topic are a number of interesting descriptions of German POWs, ordinary citizens, and concentration camp survivors. The collection also includes accounts of Brazelton's visits to the Buchenwald concentration camp and to the ruined Reich Chancellery building and Hitler's bunker, and a description of the elaborate banquet given by Soviet Marshal I. S. Konev in honor of U.S. General Omar Bradley and his staff.

Cornell scores late to beat Saints, 3-1
Saturday, December 1, 2012 - 10:17 pm

St. Lawrence University's Saturday night woes continued at Cornell Saturday night as the Big Red scored twice in the final six minutes of the third period to complete a weekend sweep of the North Country teams with a 3-1 win over the Saints, spoiling another great performance by goalie Matt Weninger.

St. Lawrence, 7-5-2 overall and 1-3-2 in league play is now 2-5-0 on Saturday nights and has lost its last three Saturday night games, although all three losses haveMatt Weninger came up with another big night at Cornell on Saturday. Photo by Wally Johnson.Matt Weninger came up with another big night at Cornell on Saturday. Photo by Wally Johnson. come against nationally ranked teams. Cornell improved to 6-3-2 overall and pulled even at 3-3-2 in the ECAC.

The Saints grabbed the early lead on Saturday as Greg Carey scored his 11th of the season on a power play just 2:16 into the game. Kyle Flanagan found Carey at the edge of the right faceoff circle and Carey snapped a laser under the crossbar 39 seconds into the man advantage. Gunnar Hughes also assisted on the goal, the third power play goal of the weekend for the Saints.

The rest of the period was statistically dominated by the Big Red, although the Saints did have a number of ventures into the Big Red zone. The official shot count was 13-2 for Cornell and the Big Red tied it up on the 13th when senior Vince Mihalek took advantage of a Saint coverage mistake along the goal line and tucked the puck past Weninger at 18:33.

The two teams played a scoreless second period which included five power plays between them. Cornell had three in the first ten minutes of the period and the Saints killed all three, allowing three total shots on goal with the Big Red a man up. The Saints then had back-to-back power plays at 12:13 and 14:38, but could not break the tie.

The Saints came out with a solid start to the third period and created some scoring chances, but couldn't get another puck past Cornell goalie Andy Iles. The Big Red finally snapped the 1-1 tie when Erik Axell sent a long lead pass to John Esposito, who broke away to score his sixth goal of the year and the eventual game winner at 14:15.

The Saints were then caught trying to set up for the potential tying goal in the final minute and a fumbled puck at center ice led to a walk-in by Joel Lowry, who picked the upper corner for his fifth of the season as Weninger was trying to get back into position after being up ice in preparation to leave for an extra attacker.

Weninger kept the Saints in the game, making 12 of his 29 saves in the first period while Iles, who saw the first Saint shot of the game whistle over his shoulder, had six saves through the first two periods and then made seven in the third for a game total of 13.

The Saints were perfect on the penalty kill in Saturday's game, stopping Cornell on seven man-up chances, while the Saints scored on one of their five power play opportunities.

SLU will be out to record the 1,000th win in program history when it hosts arch-rival Clarkson at 7 pm Wednesday.

No need to flee from North Country snow fleas
Sunday, January 12, 2014 - 8:51 am

They aren’t fleas and they’re not especially fond of snow, but other than that, snow fleas are aptly named.

On a sunny winter day you may notice tiny dark flecks bouncing on the snow, often concentrated near the bases of trees or collecting in footprints and other indentations. While snow fleas are the size of actual fleas, don’t worry about infestation—they’re not interested in either you or your pets (please don’t take that personally). Try not to step on them, though, as they’ve given us the means to improve both organ transplantation and ice cream.

Snow fleas, a type of “springtail,” were classified as insects until recent DNA sequencing pegged them as another type of arthropod called a hexapod. Apparently there’s now heated debate as to whether springtails qualify as a hexapod class or are merely a sub-class. You have to love scientists. First they study an obscure arthropod to develop life-saving technology, and then come to fisticuffs over labeling it.

Whatever the label, snow fleas are beneficial in many ways. As decomposers of organic matter, they’re important in the formation of healthy topsoil. They and their hexapod cousins are one of the most abundant types of soil ‘animals,’ numbering around 100,000 individuals per cubic yard of topsoil.

Besides eating algae, fungi, nematodes, protozoa and a wide range of organic matter, they consume organisms and spores that cause damping-off wilt and other plant diseases. In fact, springtails are being studied for their potential to control plant diseases in greenhouses.

Snow fleas produce a unique glycine-rich protein that keeps ice from forming inside cells at very cold temperatures. This newly discovered molecule is unlike any previously known protein, and is the basis for research on more efficient storage of transplant organs. Organs can be stored much longer at below-freezing temps with this antifreeze protein. Eventually we may also see ice cream that never gets ice crystals no matter how long it sits neglected in the freezer.

Springtails lack a respiratory system and must breathe through their skin. As a result, they’re quite vulnerable to drying out, and hop around to find moist, sheltered places as well as things to eat. A flea uses its tarsi, or toes, to vertically jump as much as seven inches, roughly equivalent to a person leaping 500 feet straight up. Using only their toes. The snow flea is not nearly as athletic. It either crawls, or uses its two tail-like appendages to bounce a fraction of a flea-jump.

During the warmer months, snow fleas and other springtails are even more active than in winter. It’s just that without a white background for contrast, we tend not to see them. Springtails forage extensively in the humus layer and move all through the soil, even deep down.

Springtails can be found throughout the forest canopy as well as on water, where surface tension keeps them from sinking. If you go out with a flashlight some June night you can see springtails bopping about on standing water.

Just the word ‘flea’ can set folks to scratching, so it’s unfortunate about snow fleas’ name. Try thinking of them as springtails, and keep an eye out on bright winter days for these jittery critters that help make topsoil, and could one day help save lives. Or at the very least, ice cream.

Notebook Security While Traveling: Hardware and Software Solutions

Traveling with technology can make a trip much easier when it comes to staying connected, but it also means you need to secure your notebook and other gadgets in a mobile environment. This could be a hotel room, car or coffeeshop – but in any case your notebook will be more vulnerable than it is sitting at your desk at work. On our Great American Road Trip 2.0 we are carrying the new Toshiba Portege  R705 and a bunch of other technology which we want to keep safe which is why we have two tools taking car of notebook security; a Kensington ComboSaver Portable Lock and LoJack for Laptops.

These two tools provide a hardware and software security solution that provided some piece of mind while we are on the road, touring the Black Hills and staying in hotels.

First off is the slim Kensington ComboSaver lock which hooks into the security slot on almost every notebook and allows you to securely fasten your notebook to a table or other item. This is handy for leaving your notebook in the hotel or for use in a coffeeshop. You can also fasten it to a part of the trunk if you want, though I did not do that for this trip.

Second we went with a software solution called LoJack for Laptops from Absolute Software. This tool installs on your notebook and runs in the background. If your notebook is stolen you can call Absolute and they will coordinate with local law enforcement to track down your notebook, and hopefully any other gadgets that were with it. The premium edition even includes a $1,000 service guarantee which may provide a payment if Absolute cannot track down your notebook or run a data delete to wipe the data off of it.

These two solutions combined to make a traveling with technology a bit less of a hassle and adds some security to your gadgets. As always, both of these solutions should be used with a bit of common sense like placing your notebook bag in the trunk before you reach your destination.

Rebirth of Competitive Federalism

Before I begin I have a confession, I am a Party man. That being said, I have ties to the Liberty movement beginning when I was at Florida State and I am well-versed in Libertarian Theory and the Austrian School. I believe in a concept, which was termed recently “Competitive Federalism”. I first heard the term used by former Senator Jim DeMint at a Gala for the James Madison Institute on Wednesday (March 13th). The Liberty Foundation recently released a report outlining the idea, written by Opportunity Ohio President Matt Mayer, linked above. Senator DeMint described the idea by discussing the on-going competition between Governors Rick Scott and Rick Perry over the State-level Job Creation numbers, working to create a business-friendly regulatory environment (history here and here). This healthy State versus State competition is what our Country needs to revitalize the economy and clean up the statutory mess at both the Federal and State level.

This idea has been something that I have been thinking about for a long time, through my search to define for myself where I stood on the political spectrum. Through college, there seemed to be a constant need for those politically involved or politically interested to define themselves with labels. What I discovered is my views aren’t all that hard to pin down, but there is no true label for them. Personally, I am conservative, but I don’t believe everyone must live their life how I choose to live mine. I espouse the belief that competitive federalism should guide our policy debate; as for many, I believe the Constitution is the guideline for which we were meant to restrain our Federal Government, and I believe the Federal level is not the place for the Social battles unless absolutely necessary.

Some battles are meant to be fought at the State level; if California as a State decides to vote for one issue and I don’t agree with it, I should have the ability to vote with my feet. This would create a much more hospitable environment in the movement as a whole, and open up the floor for the other issues looming over our heads. Winning the battles over these pertinent issues is the only way to move the National Discourse forward. While Social issues are vital to how we live our lives day-to-day, moving them back to the States where possible allows us to build a true coalition for issues such as Tax Reform, Governmental Spending, Education, Transportation, and Trade.

Look for more posts in my series on Labels and defining political views in a changing landscape in the coming weeks.

2 thoughts on “Rebirth of Competitive Federalism

  1. “I should have the ability to vote with my feet.” Fantastic. I think that’s a great way to note how federalism can be even more applied today, as mobility has become so much easier.

    Looking forward to the rest of the series- especially because you said you are a party man and don’t think “No Labels” (think Bloomberg’s movement) is the way to go.

Please keep it civil (unless it relates to Jacques)

As a follow-up to the February 1998 column titled "Exclusive Right Clauses," this month's Lease Language column focuses on the enforceability of such clauses. Although the issue of enforceability of exclusive right clauses in shopping center leases has not been litigated frequently, when it has been litigated, courts have generally upheld such language.

By its very nature, an exclusive right clause - whereby certain retailers are prohibited from operating in a shopping center - is a restraint of trade. Courts have generally looked to the Sherman Act, the federal antitrust law prohibiting certain restraint of trade, to determine whether such clauses are enforceable. In interpreting the Sherman Act to prohibit only unreasonable restraints of trade, the Supreme Court has adopted a rule of reason standard for analyzing potential restraint of trade due to exclusive right language.

The Rule of Reason. Application of a rule of reason standard typically has included consideration of several factors. Among them are:

* the relevant product and geographic markets in which the shopping center is located;

* the impact the exclusive provision has on competition in the relevant market;

* the market power of the landlord and the tenant agreeing to exclude other retailers;

* the availability of alternative locations for the excluded retailers to open their stores;

* the scope of the exclusive as to products prohibited and length of time; and

* the landlord's economic justification for the exclusive.

Relevant Market. The courts commonly analyze the size of the market in which the shopping center is located. The larger the market area, the less likely it is that an exclusive in one shopping center in the market area will limit competition in the entire market area. The courts also may examine the market for the tenant's product. A very specialized product, even in a large geographic market area, may lead to closer scrutiny by a court.

Impact on the Market. To determine the impact of exclusive language, courts look to both the availability of alternative sites for excluded parties and the amount of competition that would remain in the market if certain retailers were excluded from the shopping center. Where numerous properties in the relevant market are suitable as alternative locations for an excluded retailer, a court will be hard-pressed to hold that an exclusive provision unreasonably restrains competition. However, where alternative sites in the market area are unavailable, and thus, the shopping center at issue is the only location in the market from which the excluded retailer can compete in the market, courts may find it necessary to invalidate an exclusive provision.

Scope. Courts have generally upheld exclusive language that is narrow in scope (e.g., language prohibiting a distinct type of business from operating within the shopping center, or exclusive language where its application is limited to within the shopping center). Conversely, language that places broad restrictions on trade (e.g., a prohibition on department stores, appliance stores, toy stores, furniture stores, apparel stores and drugstores) very likely will be held to be unenforceable.

Economic Justification. Finally, courts will analyze and consider the economic justification for the landlord agreeing to exclusive language - for instance, landlord's inability to attract certain tenants without offering exclusive language, protection of landlord's interest in certain tenants, maximization of customer traffic and optimization of tenant mix.

Drafting Tips. Because the key to enforceability of an exclusive provision is whether the language is reasonable, landlords and tenants should consider the following in drafting such language:

* Limit the exclusive to only the shopping center, especially if the landlord has power in the market area (e.g., there are few other centers or few other landlords);

* Specify as narrowly as possible the use that is prohibited;

* Seek to restrict the applicability of the exclusive to the first several years of the term (the shorter the duration, the less likely an exclusive will be invalidated);

* Be conscious of the relevant market and the state of competition in the particular business to be granted the exclusive language; and

* Consider stating an economic justification for the exclusive in the lease (for example, state the purpose of the exclusive as encouraging a varied mix of tenants at the shopping center).

Paramus, N.J.-based Toys `R' Us will build an 836,000 sq. ft. distribution center in Midlothian, Texas. Fort Worth, Texas-based Woodmont Realty Associates represented both Toys `R' Us and TXI Real Estate, a subsidiary of Dallas-based Texas Instruments, in the sale of 93 acres at TXI Railport, a 1,700 acre development. Toys `R' Us is the park's second tenant.

The TXI Railport distribution facility will replace the toy retailer's distribution centers in Houston and Carrollton, Texas. The city of Midlothian, Ellis County and the Midlothian water district provided 100% property tax abatements for the first two years and 25% abatements for years three through nine. Construction is expected to begin this fall, with the facility operational by 2001.
