One of the biggest issues facing future state leaders is the management of environmental threats to Tennessee’s land, water and air quality, according to three papers by Vanderbilt researchers.
Many of the state’s lakes, rivers and streams are unable to support one or more of the uses for which the state has designated them, such as being a clean source of drinking water, healthy habitat for fish and aquatic plant life or a place where swimming and boating are safe.

 Office of the New York State Comptroller
According to Moody’s 2004 State Debt Medians, New York is fourth highest in debt per capita just behind Connecticut, Massachusetts and Hawaii.  New York’s $2,420 debt per capita is over two and one-half times the national average of $944.
There is a suitable time and an inappropriate time to utilize debt.  This amendment would promote the appropriate use of State debt by capping its levels, closing loopholes in the existing statutes and restoring the accountability and transparency associated with the requirement for public referenda on the issuance of debt.
The New York State Comptroller respectfully urges passage of this concurrent resolution to amend the New York State Constitution.

The state's population is growing, residents are aging, roads are clogged, health care is scarcer, insurance is costlier, schools are short of dollars, colleges lack seats, new homes are cropping up everywhere and the environment needs protecting.
Harrison said the state could benefit by directing universities and community colleges to better assist the habitually hard-to-employ 25- to 45-year-olds.

 Proposals for a Palestinian state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The future of Palestine was contentious from the beginning of the Palestine Mandate since it had been promised as the site of a Jewish homeland (see Balfour Declaration 1917) yet most of the population were Arabs (though in some regions of the territory, most of which are now under Israeli control, Jews formed a majority).
Currently, the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), along with the United States, the European Union, and the Arab League, envision the establishment of a State of Palestine to include all or part of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, living in peace with Israel under a democratically elected and transparent government.
The State of Palestine is not recognized by the United Nations, although the European Union, as well as most member states, maintain diplomatic ties with the Palestinian Authority, established under the Oslo Accords (Leila Shahid, envoy of the PNA to France since 1984, was named in November 2005 representant of the PNA for Europe).

 israelinsider: The future state of Palestine
As the politicians discuss a potential state that they presume would live in peace with Israel, they conveniently avoid examination of the positions and dispositions of the people that would comprise that state.
If a Palestinian state would be established in the near future, there is a likelihood that it would become a Hamas state in short order.
Unlike the participants in similar elections at United States universities, those taking part in this election are closely aligned to the major political factions in the "West Bank." Thus, results of this election are highly representative of the degree of popular support for those groups.

 The Red State: The Future of CD 28
The state appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court and proceeded to conduct the 1996 primaries under the state’s plan.
The district court voided the results of the 1996 primary elections in 13 of the state’s 30 congressional districts and ordered a special election to be held in those 13 districts on general election day using an interim plan drawn by the court.
The order provides for a new primary, with candidates from all parties running against one another, to be held in the redrawn districts on the same day as the 1996 general election, with a runoff election to be held December 10 in each district in which no candidate receives a majority in the primary.
