- At the risk of sounding repetitive, one needs to reassert that the methodological problem of identifying and defining a social movement is fairly difficult. The problem becomes particularly complex when we focus on the Asian region. Given its multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-political reality, the bewildering multiplicity and diversity of social movements in the region should not come as a great surprise. After all, social movements necessarily must, and firmly are embedded in the social, cultural and political realities of a nation. |

- Denver November 2004 Election Governor Owens expects that the legislature will propose changes to TABOR and Amendment 23 and ask voters to approve them in the November election, according to the Denver Post ["January 6, 2003, "Compromise predicted on easing TABOR limits, Amend. 23 funding"]. From the article, "Changes to the 'ratchet effect' and suspensions in the Amendment 23 school funding increases would have to be approved by a two-thirds vote of each house of the General Assembly before heading to a statewide vote, according to legislative legal services. An alternate route to put changes before voters would require proponents to gather signatures in a citizen initiative. The 'ratchet effect' that Owens talked about says that if the state's revenues decline because of a recession, for instance, legislators can't return to pre-recession levels of spending. |
