A new briefing paper titled, “Private Property Rights Under Siege: Has The Mere Suggestion of Economic Development Greased the Skids for Private Land Grabs in America” concludes that as a result the landmark decision in Kelo v. City of New London, No. 04-108 (U.S. June 23, 2005) (“New London”), eminent domain abuse by state and local governments is likely to surge except in those jurisdictions where economic development takings are expressly prohibited by state law.

Selling to Zebras, LLC Offers Sales Related Innovative Ideas for how you can 'Create Your Own Stimulus Package!!'

Jeffrey A. Koser, CEO and founder of Selling to Zebras, LLC, and the co-author of the award winning book "Selling to Zebras", says: "your sales department needs to change, and if you change you can create your own economic stimulus!"

How can changes you make in your sales department help your business sell through these record breaking financial times?

There are several keys to business leadership that can be driven by sales. Good sales people know when they are going to win, but all too often they can't communicate why. A good sales person knows when they are working a real prospect, but most of them haven't found a way to translate that "gut-level" instinct into something the rest of the organization can learn and benefit from. Sales people are some of the most adept at adjusting to change, but many in leadership positions within sales have not adapted to leverage this unique strength. For some reason sales leadership has not kept pace with the other areas of the business world and, as a result, there is a large potential opportunity being left on the table.... (Continue reading)

Weighted Student Formula Is Improving Schools in Some of the Nation's Biggest Cities

Much of our education funding is wasted on bureaucracy. The money never actually makes it into the classroom in the form of books, computers, supplies, or even salaries for better teachers.

At least 15 major school districts have moved to this system of backpack funding. Reason Foundation's new Weighted Student Formula Yearbook examines how the budgeting system is being implemented in each of these places and, based on the real-world data, creates a series of "best practices" that other districts and states can follow to improve the quality of their schools....
