Changes in the Laws of New York
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page report discusses a
number of changes in law and legal decisions between 1975 and
1995 that were enacted in the State of New York but that have
also had a significant impact on case law throughout the United
States. It is quite nearly impossible to outline all legal
changes that have occurred in the State of New York in a 25 year
time period without creating a massive volume of information.
Taking advantage of information and decisions proffered by the
states court of appeals allows for a certain measure of overview
that encapsulates the key issues of that time period.

Competitive Market / Public Goods
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page paper discussing the inability of the competitive market to greatly affect public goods. Though there are areas that government function can provide greater benefits than would exist without that government involvement, government nonetheless in many cases interferes with the ability of the competitive market to contribute to efficiency in the production of public goods.

Compromise as an Enabler of Enduring Public Policy
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing
whether compromise has helped or hindered formation of public policy. An ideal world
likely would be one in which issues were either black or white, good or bad. Compromise
results in varying shades of gray with which neither side is truly happy, but all can find
workable. Without compromise in determining public policy, immobilization results and the
society makes very little progress toward anything but stagnation. While compromise may
not always appear attractive, it is nonetheless the most efficient and workable route toward
progress and growth. The paper uses James Madison's compromise with The Bill of Rights
as an example. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Coping with Change: Public Sector Employees
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page paper
discusses in part the manner in which the public sector typically follows the private in
times of sweeping changes. All business has undergone immense change in the past fifteen
years, and that change has been moving into the public sector for some time. Budgets
continually decrease, but decrease in services generally is not seen as being acceptable.
Taylorism could have been used as a positive tool, but it is best known for establishing the
piecework animosity between labor and management. Scientific management created the
greatest change known before that of the quality movement, downsizing and the quest for
ever-increasing ushered in a shift of similar significance. Public sector employees now are
expected to be as accountable as their private sector counterparts. Bibliography lists 9
