Washington Mayors Want Slice of Pot Revenue

WASHINGTON STATE—One-hundred Washington-State mayors are urging their state lawmakers to share recreational cannabis revenues to pay for local law enforcement and other costs related to legalizing pot. Washington voters, like those in Colorado, recently approved recreational marijuana. Alaska is looking at a similar measure. In a letter to Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and legislative leaders, the mayors wrote that cities will be responsible for enforcing the new pot law. Therefore, they told Inslee they feel they deserve part of the $190 million in new tax revenues the state expects to collect over the next four years. The mayors, who did not specify an amount, say they need their fair share to carry out duties. Those duties include overseeing permitting and policing what they called "drugged driving." http://bit.ly/OEmrcX Download your free Next News "Heroes & Villains" Poster here: http://bit.ly/KgbQD5 Donate USD: http://nnn.is/donate-dollars Donate BTC: http:/...

US Senator Asks For A Bitcoin Ban, But Don't Hold Your Breath

Many will tell you that Bitcoin stands on shaky legal ground. Senator Joe Manchin, however, believes it's outright dangerous, to the point that he has sent a letter to regulators asking them to ban the digital currency. Manchin says there's no regulation and Bitcoin's mix of anonymity and irreversibility is appealing to a shady crowd. The Senator believes that black markets and thieves operate with relative freedom. Manchin also points out that the digital cash is prone to both deflation and surprises that risk creating chaos, such as the recent shutdown of the Mt. Gox exchange. http://engt.co/1fJ5yqY http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

Debt/car-free tiny house couple: simple living + resilience

Six years ago, Tammy Strobel was unhappy- "I was commuting 2 hours a day, going to a job I hated, overweight, unhappy, kind of middle class plight". Then she watched a youtube video featuring Dee Williams and her tiny home- a moment she calls her "turning point"- and she began to dream about less. Prior to downsizing Tammy and her husband, Logan Smith, were living in a two-bedroom apartment, driving two cars, commuting long distances and $30,000 in debt, but they were hesitant change the status quo. "Initially, we resisted the idea of moving into a smaller one-bedroom apartment because we were more concerned about appearances and space for guests than for our financial well-being. We decided something needed to change once we realized our debt was causing us so much stress." Tammy and Logan began with small steps. They sold one car and moved into a one bedroom apartment. Next it was a 400 square foot home. Today they are car-free and living in a 128-squar...
