	Tax Cuts and Consequences: The States That Cut Taxes the Most During the 1990s Have Suffered Lately, 1/12/05 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Beginning in 1994 and continuing all the way into 2001, states in aggregate enacted net tax cuts that by the end of the period were costing them roughly $33 billion, or about 7.6 percent of their revenue.
		The 16 states with the largest tax cuts in the 1990s saw payroll employment decline by 1.5 percent between 2001 and 2003, compared to a 0.5 percent decline for the other 34 states.
		As a result, states that cut taxes the most during the 1990s had lower reserve levels at the start of the fiscal crisis, faced larger deficits during the fiscal crisis and had to raise taxes and cut spending more to close deficits.

	The Association of Marihuana Smoking With Opiate Addiction
		Because of the current interest in the topic of marihuana use in the United States and the concomitant confusion as to popular versus scientific sources of data, it may be pertinent to state explicitly the scope and purpose of this paper.
		In sixteen states the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, most of the addicts had a history of marihuana use and were also diagnosed as dependent upon heroin at hospital admission in 1965.
		With respect to sex, race, and age, the addict residents of the marihuana states were 87 percent male, 38 percent nonwhite, and had a mean age of 30.4 years in 1965 (Table 7-II).The significance of minoritygroup status is underrepresented by the nonwhite percentage as this does not include the Puerto Rican and Mexican-American addicts.

	New Rules Project - Retail - State Tax Fairness: Combined Reporting
		Sixteen states are not vulnerable to tax-evasion transfers, because they have enacted a policy known as "combined reporting" (also referred to as taxing companies on a "unitary basis").
		States with combined reporting are effectively able to tax the percentage of an out-of-state subsidiary's profits that can legitimately be attributed to a firm's in-state operations.
		The remaining twenty-one states (as of August 2004), plus the District of Columbia, with corporate income taxes (five states do not tax corporate profits) are vulnerable to profit transfers, which cost the states tax revenue and place local retailers at a competitive disadvantage.

		But legislative resistance has been evident even in Massachusetts, where the highest state court struck down a law banning same-sex marriage in November and has now ruled that gays and lesbians must be given the right to marry under the state constitution.
		Still, legislators in some states believe their "defense of marriage" laws could be vulnerable in court, said Matthew Staver, president and general counsel for the Liberty Counsel, an Orlando, Fla.-based group that describes itself as representing traditional family values.
