The Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact is an agreement among the six New England states to support the farm price of milk used for fluid consumption at a higher level than under federally mandated minimum prices in the region. From 1997 until its expiration on September 30, 2001, the Northeast compact required processors in the region to pay dairy farmers at least 16.94 cwt. for farm milk used for fluid consumption. The law allowed membership in the compact to expand to New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, if the prospective state was contiguous to a member state, and if the compact was approved by the state legislature of the prospective state and the U.S. Congress. Although many states expressed interest in joining the compact or forming a separate compact, no congressional approval was granted beyond the six New England states, because of strong opposition from Upper Midwest dairy farmers and dairy processors. The dairy compact has been replaced with Milk Income Loss Contract MILC payments under the 2002 farm bill P.L. 107 171, Sec. 1502 , which mandates direct federal payments to all participating dairy farmers nationwide when the minimum price for fluid farm milk in the Northeast falls below 16.94 per cwt.

Citizens and factions throughout Boyd County, Nebraska Boyd County , where Butte is located, fought for over 15 years over the placement of a disposal site in this area. Former Governors Kay Orr and Ben Nelson were heavily involved on different sides of the issue, and Governor Orr s support for the dump may have cost her re election. Nebraska was officially removed from the compact after a series of long court battles that ended in 2004.

POV date October 2011 Electoral reform in the UnitedStates refers to efforts to change Elections in the UnitedStates American elections and the electoral system used in the UnitedStates . The U.S. uses a single member district plurality system to elect the members of its lower legislative house, the U.S. House of Representatives . Every ten years, after a census, the two major parties have a redistricting fight to determine the boundaries of these districts, and to protect the seats of incumbents. As a result, turnover in the House is low. Democratic representation is also quite low, because under a two party system with single member districts elected with winner take all, any outside challenger would become a Spoiler effect spoiler . Both parties have made efforts to gerrymander these districts using computer generated maps designed to protect incumbents seats partially as a result of this, turnover in this house is typically low. The UnitedStates Senate and the U.S. President are also elected using the plurality system, although these positions are safe from gerrymandering with the possible exception of presidential races in Maine and Nebraska, whose electoral vote s are partially allocated by Congressional district due to the fixed borders of states. ref name ArthMichael Arth ... for electoral reform in the UnitedStates.

UnitedStates v. Dotterweich , case citation 320 U.S. 277 1943 , was a legal case case decided by the Supreme Court of the UnitedStates that held that upheld strict liability strict , vicarious liability for the president of a company convicted of a public welfare offense . ref Bonnie, R.J. et. al. Criminal Law, Second Edition. Foundation Press, New York, NY 2004, p. 266 ref Decision Defendant Dotterweich was the president and general manager of a company that purchased drugs from a manufacturer, repackaged them, and shipped them with a new label. Dotterweich was convicted of a misdemeanor under the Food and Drugs Act of 1906 , which prohibited the shipment of adulterated and misbranded drugs in interstate commerce . ref Bonnie, p. 265 ref The Supreme Court upheld Dotterweich s conviction even though he did not directly participate in the proscribed shipments. The Court reasoned that this was a public welfare offense where strict, vicarious liability was appropriate because the president of a company ought to be aware of the regulations associated with their business, and that the president was in a much better position than members of the public to protect against the possible dangers of the product. ref Bonnie, p. 266 ref See also List of UnitedStates Supreme Court cases, volume 320 References reflist External links http supreme.justia.com us 320 277 case.html Opinion at Justia.com Category UnitedStates Supreme Court cases Category UnitedStates federal criminal case law Category 1943 in UnitedStates case law ... more details
