The marriage restriction is rational, it argues, because the General Court logically could assume that same-sex couples are more financially independent than married couples and thus less needy of public marital benefits, such as tax advantages, or private marital benefits, such as employer-financed health plans that include spouses in their coverage.

The Massachusetts Constitution empowers the General Court to enact only those orders, laws, statutes, and ordinances "wholesome and reasonable," that are not "repugnant or contrary" to the Constitution, and that, in the Legislature's judgment, advance the "good and welfare" of the Commonwealth, its government, and all of its subjects.

In 1942 the Ontario CCF held its first leadership convention and Ted Jolliffe, an attractive and articulate lawyer, was elected the first leader of the Ontario Party.
His family roots in old Ontario gave him the connections and the confidence to campaign enthusiastically in villages and towns throughout the province for democratic socialism, which he believed would bring a better life to all the people of Ontario.
Under a new leader, the Ontario Party organization was to be built slowly and carefully across the province so that the Party was in shape for another breakthrough in the next generation, with new policies, new leaders, and eventually with a new name.

 Joe Keating 2003 articles about Waterford, Virginia
In the broader aspect of Loudoun furniture in general, since Loudoun's population remained the same for about two hundred years, we know that Loudoun was a great exporter of people into the Ohio Valley and it stands to reason that a large amount of locally made furniture went with them.
Last week in an election year crackdown on crime in Waterford summons were issued by the Loudoun County Sheriff Simpson's Department to all those engaged in the nefarious practice of nonparallel parking.
People generally walked and when goods had to be transported they went in two wheeled carts, later in four wheeled wagons and really heavy loads would be skidded on mud, ice or snow or rolled in hogsheads.

 Frank K. Clarke| "Keep Communism Out of Our Schools": Cold War Anti-Communism at the Toronto Board of ...
the candidates for election to the 1948 Toronto Board of Education – school renovations, hot lunches for students, sex education, teacher salaries, and comic books in the schools – seemed far removed from the West’s worsening relations with the Soviet Union.
Historians of Ontario’s postwar school system believe that Neatby overstated her case, and, in fact, have argued that while educators may have used the language of progressivism in the 1940s and 1950s, most of them continued to rely on the traditionalist approach of the textbook, flboard, and the teacher’s voice until the 1960s.
Within days of Ryerson’s election, the Committee waged a public campaign to have her seat declared vacant on the grounds that she violated the 1937 Public Schools Act because her husband was a high school teacher.

Larry Grossman was among those who failed to win election to Toronto city council, which must have lofty standards because he went on to head senior ministries where top bureaucrats called him the brainiest minister they ever worked for, and become Conservative opposition leader.
