Jan Copley - Red & Blue States Gathering
The document discusses community property laws in the United States. It begins with a pop quiz about which states have community property laws and what percentage of the population these states cover. It then provides definitions and examples of separate property and community property earned during marriage. The document discusses how community property laws affect divorce and inheritance, and considers how these laws interact with issues like retirement benefits, insurance policies, domestic partnerships, and same-sex marriage.
Unintended Consequences 1-5-16
1) In the 1970s, wheeled luggage was introduced but clumsy and awkward. In 1989, a pilot developed the roll-aboard suitcase which led passengers to seldom use airport luggage carts, an unintended consequence.
2) The Affordable Care Act was intended to lower insurance premiums but led to the opposite - premiums rose by 9% the first year. Several provisions increased premiums more than anticipated, an unintended consequence.
3) Many state insurance co-ops formed to increase competition under the ACA ceased operations, which will increase the federal deficit more than intended and reduce availability of insurers, demonstrating unintended long term consequences of decisions.
The impact of foreclosures on our community normitas d1 updated
This document discusses the impact of foreclosures on communities. It notes that 1 in 5 US foreclosures are in California, and over 1/3 of California homeowners owe more than their homes are worth. Deregulation in 1999 led to an explosion of risky subprime loans and predatory lending. Current foreclosures are due to high unemployment. The document outlines the costs of foreclosures to home values, tax bases, and local governments. It advocates for principal reduction programs and stronger regulations to help homeowners and communities impacted by foreclosures.
Estate Planning Tutorial
This document is from Mike Adams, an attorney at Williams, McDaniel, Wolfe, and Womack law firm in Memphis, TN. It discusses estate planning strategies like wills, trusts, life insurance beneficiary designations, and asset protection. It notes that estate taxes can be avoided by proper planning and coordinating assets between a will and other documents. The document also highlights changes to Tennessee and federal estate tax laws and how to modify plans accordingly.
The Queen and Uncle Sam to the Rescue
The Bank of England extended its bond-buying program to provide 50 billion pounds in support to banks struggling under heavy debt loads, lifting bond prices but causing the value of the pound to drop. In the US, home prices remained low despite housing agencies offering loans up to 125% of home values. One of these agencies, Fannie Mae, will require another $10 billion in federal support, raising concerns about whether government intervention can solve the ongoing financial crisis.
Insurance Issues And Common Law Marriage 2009
This document discusses insurance considerations and common law marriage. It outlines typical insurance policy provisions like declarations pages, definitions, exclusions, and conditions. It also discusses how common law marriage is recognized in some states, including Colorado, and matters of proving a common law marriage for insurance coverage purposes. Case law on the issue provides mixed results for determining who is covered in a common law marriage under an insurance policy.
Kansas budget Realities
Kansas is facing budget challenges as the state population growth has slowed, private sector jobs were lost while public sector grew, total state debt is over $15 billion, and spending is exceeding revenues. The largest portions of the state budget are spent on K-12 education at 52.4% and human services at 23.6%. Key factors increasing spending are rising human services caseloads, pension payments, special education costs, and corrections costs. The legislature will need to address the budget gap through the veto session in April or a potential special session.
Responsible govt deck nov summit 2012
The document discusses the fiscal cliff facing the U.S. government at the end of 2012, and the need for a long-term solution to reduce the deficit. It notes that allowing all the 2001/2003/2010 tax cuts to expire and automatic spending cuts to take effect could damage the economy. The document proposes that businesses advocate for a solution modeled on Simpson-Bowles that reforms taxes and reduces certain tax expenditures to lower the deficit in a balanced way. It raises questions about how and with whom businesses should engage in advocacy on this issue.

2009 tax credit
The document summarizes the tax credit available for first-time home buyers under legislation passed by Congress in 2009. The tax credit was up to $8,000 for homes purchased between January 1, 2009 and December 1, 2009.

The tax credit did not need to be repaid and was equal to 10% of the home's purchase price, up to a maximum of $8,000. The summary encourages contacting the mortgage company to learn more about eligibility for the limited-time tax credit.

However, the changes only apply through 2012 unless extended by Congress.
Local Transit Union Pres. opposes Gov. ODonnell’s threat to withhold Metro funds
Local Transit Union Pres. opposes Gov. ODonnell’s threat to withhold Metro fundsMcKinney and Associates
In a letter to Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell, the president of the local transit union urged the governor to release $50 million in matching funds for Metro that are needed to collect a $150 million federal grant. The grant and funds would be used to make safety improvements to Metro, including replacing 1000-series railcars. The union president disagreed with withholding the funds, saying it would not improve safety and would go against the memory of nine people who died in a Metro accident a year ago, including a train operator. The president also disagreed that adding oversight positions from Virginia would increase accountability over funding and safety.Choctaw Housing Assessment
The document provides information on housing assistance programs offered by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, including rental assistance, home finance assistance, mutual help housing development, and affordable rental and elderly housing.

The program offers 97% loan-to-value, only requires a 3% down payment that can be fully gifted, and does not require private mortgage insurance. It has generous income limits up to $83,900 in the Twin Cities metro area. The program provides a more affordable option for first-time homebuyers by eliminating monthly mortgage insurance payments and does not require reserves or extra down payment funds beyond the 3%.
Spread The Word Flyer
This document advocates bringing call center jobs back to Long Island from offshore locations. It notes that over 350,000 call center jobs have been lost in the last 10 years as companies have moved operations overseas. The document proposes that Long Island is well-suited for call centers due to available labor, office space, and incentives that could be offered like tax reductions, grants, and discounts on real estate and utilities to attract companies. It encourages contacting local legislators to promote adopting such incentives to create call center jobs in Long Island.
Important budgeting terms(2)
This document defines key financial terms used to understand expenses, assets, liabilities, and credit situations. It distinguishes between fixed expenses that remain constant each month, variable expenses that fluctuate, and fixed variable expenses whose costs change slightly. Assets are things owned that have value, while liabilities are debts owed. Being solvent means having more assets than debts, while being insolvent is having more debts than assets. The document also defines favorable and unfavorable credit situations, as well as other terms like disposable income and discretionary income.

The document discusses when life insurance is needed and when it may not be necessary. It states that life insurance is important for families where the breadwinner could leave dependents without income if they pass away. However, young people without dependents usually do not need life insurance. The document also warns that disability is a larger risk than death, so disability insurance is generally a better option for people without dependents. Later in life, individuals may no longer need life insurance if they have sufficient retirement savings and no debts or dependents.

Fundamentals Of Estate Planning
Business valuation
Legal & accounting fees
Executor/administrator expenses
An estate plan is important to preserve assets, ensure they are distributed according to your wishes, and minimize taxes. Your estate includes all property you own such as real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, retirement accounts, and life insurance. Assets transfer either directly by beneficiary designation, jointly with a spouse, through probate, or via a trust. Probate involves court supervision of distributing assets according to a will or state law and can be costly. Trusts avoid probate and provide lifetime management of assets. Estate settlement costs include funeral expenses, taxes, appraisals, legal and accounting fees.

Save Your Marriage From Divorce
This document discusses reasons to save a marriage rather than pursue divorce. It notes the high financial and emotional costs of divorce, and that divorced individuals are often not happier than unhappily married couples who stay together. Statistics show remarriages have higher divorce rates than first marriages. Cohabiting before marriage also increases divorce risk. Children of divorced parents have more interpersonal issues and higher rates of divorce themselves. However, married individuals tend to be healthier and live longer. Marriage provides emotional support during hard times. Staying committed through challenges reinforces the relationship. Happily married couples recognize marriage requires ongoing investment and work to overcome challenges.
Estate planning 13 questions to ask yourself
- Many people delay estate planning and do not appoint guardians for their children if they die. They also do not plan for what happens if no one claims their property after death.
- When creating a will and estate plan, it is important to consider all family relationships and dependents to ensure fair treatment. One should disclose all important relationships to their lawyer.
- Estate planning now also involves virtual assets like passwords, emails and online accounts. One needs to decide how these will be handled after death and ensure executors can access them.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
