Abstract of a Legoa Overview of Utah's HB 148 Transfer of Public LandsAmerican Lands Council
Abstract Version
Recent legislation passed in the state of Utah has
demanded that the federal government extinguish title
to certain public lands that the federal government
currently holds. The state of Utah claims that the
federal government made promises to it (at statehood
when the federal government obtained the lands) that
the federal ownership would be of limited duration and
that the bulk of those lands would be timely disposed
of by the federal government into private ownership
or otherwise returned to the state. This White Paper
provides a legal overview of these claims

Week 3 - AssignmentResearching Government Websites
Researching government websites is a critical tool in investigative reporting. For this assignment, you will utilize selected online resources to investigate three different topics listed below.
First, choose two examples:
1. You are a business reporter and hear that the largest employer in your town is going to lay off one-third of its employees. You need to find background on the company’s financial status. Find the latest 10-K filings for a large public company in your area. Use the EDGAR database from Filings & Forms (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. (Paul & Hansen, 2007, p. 98).
2. In a story on an “English-only” referendum being proposed, you want to add information about the demographics of your county, particularly the Hispanic population. Search for population statistics for your county at the U.S. Census Bureau (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. (Paul & Hansen, 2007, 98).
3. In covering a story about domestic violence in Florida, a police officer tells you that the hot weather months are the worst – there is a jump in cases in July. Verify the accuracy of the statement by checking the Florida Department of Children and Families (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. (Paul & Hansen, 2007, p. 98).
Include the following elements for each of the two examples you selected:
1. Identify at least one fact from the government website to use in an investigative report for each of the two examples.
2. Describe how the data proves or disproves the underlying assumption in each of the two examples.
3. Compare how effective the data was in analyzing each of the two examples.
The assignment must be two to three pages (excluding the title and reference pages) and completed using the APA style format. The paper must include a title page, in-text citations, and a full list of references at the end. You must cite at least one reference from the textbook and at least one reference from scholarly outside reading material. References for each of the stories must also be included.
Carefully review the Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

The federal Freedom of Information Act “Provides access to all records of all federal agencies in the executive branch unless those records fall within one of nine categories of exempt information that agencies are permitted (but generally not required) to withhold” (Federal Open Government Guide, p. 4). This is open to the entire public for their use. A request can be made over the phone, online or in written word. A person is also allowed an immediate request or to ask for an expedited request. Not only that but if an agency refuses to disclose all or part of a request you have the right to request an appeal.
The thing is FOIA applies to every single agency, departme.

I’m attaching some info on the agency I work for. I work remotely at New Heights Middle School in Jefferson SC as a behavioral health counselor. I have a LMSW; I provide counseling services to kids from age 12-14. I was drawn to this agency due to my desire to work with kids. My prior job was at palmetto pee dee behavioral health. The kids there had mostly conduct disorders. At CareSouth I can focus a lot on actual counseling and less case management. They also pay for ceus and provide clinical supervision. My self-care that I practice is just doing something nice for myself once a week. Because sometimes you give so much of yourself to others you will forget about you.

3. Legal Research State the question clearly that you need to answer. Determine the jurisdiction , meaning the particular subject and locality. You must first determine which court or government agency can resolve the conflict before beginning legal research. Understand citations and abbreviations . Most law books are cited in the order of volume number, book and page. For example, 410 U.S. 113 would signify volume 410 of United States Reports, page 113. Statutes are cited by statute title and section number, such as 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for title 42 United States Code, section 1983.
