    Oregon Gun Control Measure Struck Down: Court Declares Measure 114 Unconstitutional

    This is something I disagree with greatly and my reason for this is I feel that anyone who wishes to own a gun of any kind should have taken some kind of training prior. Gun control at the moment has so many issues and something more needs to be done but I feel that many end up going backwards...

    Portland proposal to streamline project permitting

    This is a step in the right direction and one I feel many are going to be happy to see the case. This will for sure help with streamlining everything and I do hope that more places do take note of this and realize that it is what many want to see.

    Indiana Rep. Proposes Strict Regulations for Autonomous Trucks Amid Industry Opposition

    I have never been keen on self-driving vehicles and feel these regulations are not only needed but also necessary and it is a shame more places are not doing this. Self-driving vehicles we know are prone to have an issue at some point and therefore having someone there to take control to...

    Virginia rolls out website to showcase transparency in permit process

    Having a system in place like this is great as it allows the public to be able to see how things are going and progressing when it comes to certain permits. I have always been someone who feels as though governments should be more transparent and this is a step in the right direction.

    Denver's city auditor says slow permitting process costs homeowners time, money

    There for sure needs to be an overhaul of the system if this is how citizens are being treated when using that system. It seems even though they have identified the issue, they are still not willing to make changes which is a shame and I do hope they soon choose to change that.

    Permits required for alcohol consumption in Oneonta city park

    This is a difficult one and I don't feel it covers everything such as whether everyone needs a permit even if it's a gathering if they are consuming alcohol or if it's just the person who set up the event that needs it. I feel this can be good for those who just randomly drink outside in...

    Boston to ban sale of guinea pigs in pet stores

    This is something I find happens to a lot of areas all over the world and that is that there are so many animals from dogs, cats and even as stated her such as guinea pigs that get either left or taken in because the owners can no longer care for them meaning places end up inundated with animals...

    New Rule for Feeding the Homeless in Shawnee, Oklahoma

    Understandably, they would now require a permit to keep things in order and avoid any potential issues that could be avoided and I think it is good that the permit is free. I do agree with what has been said though and that is the state helping to fund homelessness instead of leaving it to...

    Understanding Pet Rules in Florida

    As much as I feel the price is a little steep, it would make sense for it to be that steep being this is for wild animals and not for normal animals you would usually keep. If nothing is put in place I can only imagine how many people would go crazy with wild animals, having a price this steep...

    New Bills Aim to End Cap on Street Vendor Permits in New York

With costs being as high as they are at the moment and more people looking for ways to make a little extra, this will help so many be able to get into the vendor business and make their lives better...

    Maryland changes drivers test, autistic man finally passes

    That is amazing news. It is awful that some tests are not changed for people such as this who suffer from autism and may struggle so this is very much a step in the right direction for sure when it comes to helping those who do struggle to be able to reach that goal :)

    UK Local Councils Introduce Fees for Electric Vehicle Parking Permits

    This made no sense to me at all why they chose to change this. Electric vehicles are being pushed as they are better for the environment but yet they are adding on more charges for those who drive these vehicles which will eventually put many off wanting to own an electric vehicle due to these fees.

    Do You Need Insurance With a Learner's Permit?

    I can understand why a learner having some kind of insurance when learning to drive would be ideal, you never know what kind of accident you could get in when learning and insurance would be needed to cover any kind of damage. I know some places do not tend to push for the learner to have...

    Law on Suspended License in California

    This I agree with, I have known in the past for some to have their license suspended for something that would normally not warrant that kind of punishment. Changing it like they seem to have will as you stated, acknowledge the individual circumstances instead of treating everyone the same...

    North Carolina Extends Learner's Permit Time for Teen Drivers

    This is a great change, all too often I do feel that youngsters gain their license too soon before they have learned enough on the road and when learning and that often results in many being in accidents that could have been avoided. It is a shame more places do not opt to increase the time...
