Wyoming Lesson Plans Please note that with regard to lesson plans dealing with anthropology, archaeology, indigenous people, ancient civilizations, history, etc, there may be some cross-over and blurring of lines between the topics. For example, a lesson plan dealing with archaeology is automatically dealing with an anthropological subject. A lesson plan dealing with indigenous people is also automatically dealing with anthropology and any of them may, or may not, be dealing with history or ancient civilizations. While every attempt will be made to keep the topic lines as 'clean' as possible, be aware this may not always be possible. Appropriate grade or age levels are included with the lesson plans. The number of lesson plans available online for this topic is enormous. This site can not and does not index all lesson resources. That would be impossible, as sites appear and disappear with astonishing rapidity. The following provides some idea of what is available and will hopefully be a good starting point.

Webmaster A working plan for Virginia tax reform Virginia legislators went through a painful budget process during the 2002 General Assembly. Huge budget deficits could amount to $3.8 billion by 2004 according to the governor’s final projections. Virginia is broke, and it is time for the state to correct the serious problems in our tax code that have landed us in this mess. The following changes should be part of any plan suggested by the current Tax Commission and enacted by the General Assembly. Bring justice to the state income tax Tax rates and brackets The two lowest brackets of the current income tax have not been adjusted since 1926. The first $3,000 of a person’s income is taxed at the rate of 2 percent. The next $3,000 to $5,000 is taxed at 3 percent. Between $5,000 and $17,000 is taxed at 5 percent, and anything over $17,000 is taxed at 5.75 percent. That is the lowest top-bracket rate of any neighboring state that has a personal income tax. These collapsed rates give Virginia an income tax structure which is essentially a flat tax. All but the poorest families make over $17,000 per year, so most of us are taxed at the same rate, whether we make $20,000 per year or $200,000. The brackets and rates should be adjusted to distribute the tax burden more fairly.

Research Growing Smart document.write(document.title); Printer-Friendly Format Overview Background Bibliography Legislative Guidebook ... Join APA APA is an outspoken advocate for planning. Become a member and join thousands of people who share your dedication to building strong, vibrant communities. Virginia During the 2001 session the Virginia General Assembly continued its old practice of considering land use and planning-related legislation on a piecemeal basis. However, because of disagreements between development interests and local governments in the state, no controversial bills were approved. What did come out of the assembly was creation of a joint study group, the Commission on Growth and Economic Development. The commission was charged with studying current revenue resources to meet existing and future infrastructure needs; revitalization of inner-city areas and older suburbs; development of abandoned, unused or contaminated industrial sites, commonly known as brownfields; and ways to preserve both open space and individual property rights as well as to fund land preservation goals. The Virginia Chapter of APA and the Virginia Society of the American Institute of Architects issued recommendations to the commission suggesting that it take a broad perspective and address the condition of land use and planning legislation in the Commonwealth. Given the state is facing severe budget constraints, it was understood that no new planning-related initiatives would be introduced during the 2002 legislative session. However, the commission did recommend that its term be extended this year so its work could continue.

39. Bristol, Virginia Facts Apartheid in Bristol virginia, Bristol Tennessee, and the Tricities region Kingsport, Johnson City chambers of commerce endorse state income tax plan http://www.sullivan-county.com/id2/bristol_va.htm

About the Bristol Area Looking at the above map of the Virginia 9th District I'm concerned with only the counties of Washington, Scott, Smyth, Russell, Buchanan, Dickenson, and Wise Counties Virginia. I'll also include Bristol, VA/TN, Sullivan County with Kingsport, Johnson County with Johnson City, TN. Bristol, Kingsport, and Johnson City are referred to locally as "Tri-Cities. (Not shown) The VA/TN state line divides Bristol and I'll use Bristol as a focal point. Economy for the region isn't just coal. Only in of Dickenson, Wise, Buchanan, Tazewell, and Russell are mainly the coal industry. Scott, Lee contain some coal but are mainly farming, none in Washington, Smyth which have manufacturing, farming, and Tri-Cities in general is 30% manufacturing, services, and some farming. So it's a varied economy around Bristol that includes mining, farming, manufacturing, and timber. All are low-tech declining industries that require little education. This problem haunts us today. We have plenty of four-lane roads in most places. US 23 runs from NC through Johnson City, Kingsport, Scott and Wise Counties, Virginia to KY. I-81 runs from near Knoxville to Kingsport, Bristol, Washington, Smyth, Wythe Counties, etc. Also throw US 19, 58, etc in Virginia. And every major town/county in the area (except Dickenson and Buchanan) have four lane roads. This has failed to make a dent in the economic collapse in the area. There has been almost no development in this whole region that isn't generated by government spending or subsidized at taxpayer expense. The real poverty/unemployment rates are as high as 50% while those without a high school diploma run almost 50% in places.
