ABSTRACT The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Comptroller of the Treasury of Maryland v. Wynne held that Maryland's individual income tax law violates the Dormant Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution because it failed to grant a full credit against both the state and county income tax for income taxes paid to other states. The extension of the Dormant Commerce Clause and the application of the internal consistency test to individual income taxes may lead to taxpayer challenges in other states with individual income taxes. We identify four possible tax regimes that meet the internal consistency test under Wynne and provide an example of the impact of each regime on state and local government revenue in both the resident and nonresident state. We then review current state and local tax regimes, focusing on the 14 states with local income taxes and those that do not grant a tax credit for out-of-state local taxes paid by residents. We evaluate whether those tax regimes may be subject to challenge based on the Wynne decision. Finally, we suggest three policy options that Congress should consider to lessen the budgetary impact of Wynne on county and municipal governments and to allocate the cost of government based on income.

The issue of ‘joined up’ governance and partnership working (between statutory partners, between the state and the voluntary sector and between the state and the private sector) is one which currently occupies the attention of policy makers and academics across mixed-liberal welfare states such as the European Union, Nordic, Commonwealth and North American welfare regimes (Geddes and Benington, 2001; Considine and Lewis, 2003; Bradford, 2003; Ovretveit, 2003). Many of these states, the UK included, are attempting to tackle the issues of growing demands for services, the perceived ineffectiveness and inefficiency of governments in responding to welfare need and the ‘hollowing out’ of the state that is a feature of modern mixed-liberal welfare states, particularly those which are attempting to find a ‘Third Way’ between socialist bureaucracies and market-driven liberalism (Giddens, 1998). The policy response, both in the UK and internationally, has been to encourage ‘partnership’ working between the various arms of the state, and between the state and the private and voluntary sector, as well as emphasizing ‘partnership’ working between the state and local users and communities.

State And Local

The work hereof intends to analyse some profiles of the regular migration phenomenon in Italy, by examining the most recent and relevant regulatory interventions in the welfare sector, both at state and local level. In particular, we intend to demonstrate that at least three approaches regarding the reaction of the legal system towards the access of the “other” currently co-occur in Italy. To this end, the first to be analyzed will be some examples of “exclusionary” operations will be analysed, which are based on the defense of the national cultural identity and the promotion of citizenship in its formal sense (C. Schmitt) – as they are found in several ordinances of local Authorities which restrict access to social rights for foreigners, as well as in some Regional Laws on social welfare. In addition to these exclusionary operations, even a second relational model will be examined, which is inclusive and assimilative, and therefore, opposite to the previous one, while it finds its most clear expression in the Integration Agreement, which an immigrant seeking a residency permit needs to adhere to. Finally, we will focus on a “third way”, inspired by an integrative approach based on the concept of permeable identity (J. Habermas), pursuant to which both they who welcome and who are welcomed are called upon to hold an attitude of mutual listening and understanding, not aimed at the incorporation of the weaker in the stronger, but rather, at the identification of common areas of dialogue that can lead to the best integration possible of two new identities (as both have made contact with the “other”). In this context, this paper aims at enhancing the role of the new public integration policies – especially at the local level – on sustainable development of current pluralist societies. In this regard, the legal instruments which are most effective in terms of developing an approach which is resilient and open-minded to communities that welcome regular immigrants, by facilitating the creation of (institutionalized and spontaneous) moments of dialogue and the sharing of knowledge of each other’s cultures.

This paper presents strategies for increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of the school-based speech-language pathologist. Various time management strategies are adapted and outlined for three major areas of concern: using time, organizing the work area, and managing paper work. It is suggested that the use of such methods will aid the speech-language pathologist in coping with federal, state, and local regulations while continuing to provide quality therapeutic services.
