Podcasts about freeholders

Roughly three weeks ago, St. Louis County Executive Sam Page caused a stir throughout the region when he broached the subject of bringing St. Louis and St. Louis County back together. To gain a deeper understanding, we talk with Jefferson County attorney Joseph Blanner, who was Gov. Mike Parson's appointee to the Board of Freeholders in 2019, about the renewed attention around St. Louis city reentering the St. Louis County as a municipality.

As the SGB Next Issue approaches in India, a massive question remains: Is government-backed gold enough to stop a 12% annual wealth dilution? Today, we explore why the Gold vs Bitcoin India debate is reaching a tipping point. If India already holds the world's largest private reserve of hard money, 35,000 tons of gold sitting in households, why is the state still clinging to a failing fiat standard?In this episode, I sit down with Aaronman (@plebstogether) to discuss why the Indian subcontinent is a sleeping giant for sovereign money. We explore the cultural transition from physical gold to digital bits and why the mindset of self-custody is already hardwired into the population.Aaron takes us through his journey of escaping the stifling bureaucracy of Europe to return to Goa and build something that matters. He explains how the Indian spirit of "Jugaad," or frugal innovation, is being applied to Bitcoin hardware and infrastructure. By moving away from centralized education and toward community building, Aaron is helping people realize they do not need permission to build parallel systems that work.We dive into the mechanics of creating a circular economy in India. Aaron shares how his team is onboarding local merchants and creating peer-to-peer networks that bypass broken fiat rails. It is about creating a localized Citadel in Goa where people can trade, learn, and store value without being diluted by a monetary system that devalues their labor by 12% every year. Aaron provides a strategic roadmap for community building in any emerging market, highlighting why peer-to-peer education is the most effective tool for spreading hard money to the next generation.—Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Aaronman:X: https://x.com/plebstogetherX: https://x.com/bitshala_orgX: https://x.com/Bitplebs_inWeb: https://www.plebstogetherstrong.com/Web: https://bitshala.org/Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro02:21 How to quit fiat jobs for Bitcoin infrastructure careers.05:30 Why Indian schools fail to teach Proof of Work.09:25 Can the El Salvador Bitcoin diploma scale to India?12:15 How to find Bitcoin merchants and communities in Goa.14:11 Step-by-step guide to building grassroots Bitcoin communities in India.22:21 Understanding the 4 Factions: Builders, Educators, Cypherpunks, Freeholders.28:43 Is the RBI hostile to Bitcoin?

Labour has unveiled a bold new Leasehold Reform Bill that proposes capping groundrents at just £250 per year from 2028 and banning new leaseholdsaltogether.

Critics argue thismirrors a feudal system and traps homeowners in long leases that erodethe value of their homes. Labour claims the new bill will make it simpler forleaseholders to transition to commonhold, a form of ownership akin tofreehold where residents collectively own and manage their building.Labour'sproposals are intended to bring greater fairness and transparency. Byrestricting future ground rents to a nominal £250 and preventing new leaseholdtitles, the bill aims to end the creation of leaseholds and protect futureproperty buyers.

Rob delves into the complexities and issues surrounding leasehold properties in England and Wales. He highlights the challenges faced by leaseholders, such as escalating ground rent and service charges, as well as the low threshold for repossession if payments are not made. Rob also touches on the proposed Leasehold Reform Bill, which aims to ban the creation of new leasehold houses and make it easier for leaseholders to buy their freeholds.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The government is considering the Leasehold Reform Bill to ban the creation of new leasehold houses in England and Wales and make it easier for leaseholders to buy their freeholds. Currently, a leasehold property can be repossessed if the leaseholder owes as little as £350, which is considered a low amount and needs to be increased. It is crucial for individuals considering buying a leasehold property to conduct thorough research, especially regarding ground rent and service charges, and to engage a solicitor to review all agreements. Freeholders are urged to set fair charges and not take advantage of leaseholders, as unethical practices can tarnish the reputation of the housing market. BEST MOMENTS "A freehold basically means that you own the land that the buildings are on, and therefore you've pretty much got the right to do what you need and want to do." "£350 is what is all it takes at the moment for a property to potentially be repossessed if that's what the leaseholder owes. And that's not good." "Leasehold houses, modern leasehold houses, are just a bad idea in general, because people, if you're buying, especially if you're buying a house, and it's leasehold, that to me just spells danger." "The Leasehold Bill, it's making its way through Parliament. This would ban the creation of new leasehold houses in England and Wales. It would also make it easier for leaseholders to buy their freeholds." "From a freeholder point of view, dear freeholders, I understand there's a lot of things, costs out there, but do not rip people off because this is then painting everyone in a bad light."

Board of Chosen Freeholders v. Atty Gen State of NJ

An August 22, 2018 secretly recorded meeting between a group of abolitionist activists and two Essex County freeholders (now commissioners) that was secretly taped by one participant. At minute 44, activist Faye Lederman asks about her children using Essex County parks and the zoo and what she needs to them about how they're funded. Then-Vice President (now president) Wayne Richardson and board counsel Michael Parlavecchio try to obfuscate about the diverse revenue sources, but Parlavecchio explicitly confirms that the ICE money "is part of it." At that same meeting Essex County commissioner Wayne Richardson assiduously defends the impeccable conditions of the detention facility--though this meeting was after the July 2018 DHS inspection that revealed conditions so horrendous that DHS itself condemned it.

Attorney Al Watkins has sent a letter to St. Louis County Executive Sam Page in response to his edict cancelling high school fall sports, raising the possibility of a class action lawsuit. Guest host Brad Young analyzes the breaking news. Next, he examines the Board of Freeholders’ inactivity, legality and impact on a potential convergence of resources between the city and county. Later, a geofence is a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area, often used for smartphones. Young explains how a new use of geofencing by the police is a clear invasion of constitutionally protected privacy. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

With rent to SA, we have the chance to create brilliant, rewarding win:win relationships with our property owners whether you have SA houses or apartments in a block, or another niche type of SA unit! We provide a valuable service to our guests which has been shown to weather the battering of lock down, particularly well, with the diverse needs of travellers and key workers. With our economic climate uncertain, it is likely that we’ll have more landlords, freeholders and property owners who will benefit from our type of property management, so it’s a good idea to make plans to how you can do this too.

Had they all feared for their lives when the rounds started flying? Of course, but freeholders would proudly tell you they are stronger than that.Freeholders don’t panic under fire. They find cover and assess. Freeholders are ready for anything, anytime. They think on their feet and they execute. When the gunfire started downtown, they’d known what to do almost on instinct. All of them had managed to live through at least one large-scale assault by now, for most that number was higher. This was just another day on Charon Beta for them. For the poor, bloodied bastards lying in the street in the aftermath, it had been a near death experience.It appeared to those on-scene that the gunfire simply...stopped. A robot appeared, followed by two strange characters, and the wounded were whisked away to a nearby triage. Crisis averted. Life continued for those still breathing. Luckily this time it appeared there would be no dead to be mourned.The reality of their situation is that freeholders have lived in a constant state of readiness for hundreds of years. But as ready as a life in the crosshairs of two galactic empires will make you, it never makes you any less terrified when the shooting starts.*In today’s episode, the Freelancers patch themselves up and prepare for a long journey, all under the watchful eyes of their captors. What awaits Otto back on Earth, and with two new, violent passengers will the crew of the Vehement make it that far? We replace what was lost, misremember a famous play, and put our loved ones in harm's way.This week on Play By Podcast: Territory Nouveau 18: Out in the ColdPlay By Podcast is Michael Collins (@arealwriter), Leon Barnes (@SlapKatZ), Liam Higgins(@liamhiggins97), and Max Coe (@_NotMyDivision_)Cover Art by Ariel Corrales (@arielcorrales_)Music by Cody Ojea (@CodyOjea)

After the dust up with that ship of freelancers and that Gentryman from the Union, Commandant Carcanet was happy to turn his attention to more important matters. The expeditionaries from Charon would be returning soon, and the data they had transmitted ahead needed assessment.All the combat data from each anchor in the lance was in the process of being poured over by Jovian intelligence, but Carcanet had managed to save the very best for himself. The new anchor. The experimental one. He’d even studied Xade’s ridiculous notes so he could better understand the new telemetry from the strange devices they had used to perfect the new anchor’s systems.In motion the machine was pristine. Quick and graceful like some great, ancient predator. Truly something that would strike fear into the hearts of the enemies of House Kennet. Something about the way it moved even made him afraid.No, not afraid. Uneasy.He watched it dance through a hail of incoming fire from the Freeholders in some futile effort to halt its progress. Of course they were ineffectual.And then, a burst of concentrated fire from an autocannon! The offending anchor was...familiar. He’d seen it on that freelancer ship, he realized! A two-bit mercenary had single handedly bested the Commonwealth’s newest experiment.The oversights were obvious. Glaringly so. And upon their return, Commandant Carcanet knew exactly who was to blame. And who would take the punishment for their failures.*In today’s episode, in the aftermath of the Jovian attack, the Freelancers plot their next course of action. How will they prepare themselves for this leg of their increasingly perilous journey? We'll heal ourselves up, put our digital noses where they shouldn’t be, and chart a new, more covert course.This week on Play By Podcast: Territory Nouveau 09: Good FriendsPlay By Podcast is Michael Collins (@arealwriter), Leon Barnes (@SlapKatZ), Liam Higgins(@liamhiggins97), and Max Coe (@_NotMyDivision_)Cover Art by Ariel Corrales (@arielcorrales_)Music by Cody Ojea (@CodyOjea)

Here's some highlights from this week's weekly roundup podcast: -St. Louis Public Radio’s Jaclyn Driscoll joins the program to talk about what Galloway’s audit was trying to convey — and how people from across the political spectrum are reacting to the findings. -Rosenbaum talked about his story this week that broke down the continued deadlock to start the Board of Freeholders. That 19-person panel can offer up big changes to St. Louis and St. Louis County governance, but it hasn’t done anything due to St. Louis’ inability to approve its members. -The Kansas City Star’s Jason Hancock talked with O’Donoghue about complaints around Missouri’s medical marijuana program. -O’Donoghue and Rosenbaum reacted to President Donald Trump sending out a tweet that incorrectly congratulated the “Great State of Kansas” after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl. The Chiefs, of course, play in Kansas City, Missouri in a stadium that Jackson County taxpayers funded.

A panel that could suggest big changes to St. Louis city and county government was formed four months ago but hasn't done anything. That's primarily because of a deadlock in appointing members from the city. The stalemate is leading to frustration among local officials.

Alderman Sam Moore touched a racial fault line recently when he argued against Asian representation from north St. Louis on the Board of Freeholders. Members of the Asian community have called his comments insensitive. Moore contends St. Louis has a long way to go to deliver equality to African Americans who have long suffered discrimination. He says he meant no disrespect.

On the latest episode of Politically Speaking, St. Louis Public Radio’s Julie O’Donoghue, Jason Rosenbaum and Jacyln Driscoll review some of the week’s biggest stories in state and local politics. One of the big topics on the show is the first meeting of the Board of Freeholders, which can propose consolidating services in St. Louis and St. Louis County — or even combining city and county governments.

In this St. Louis on the Air episode, Sarah Fenske talks with St. Louis Public Radio correspondent Rachel Lippmann about recent complications in the Board of Freeholders process. We also meet Board of Freeholder member and local business owner Jason Wilson.

Board of Freeholders information from Pat Kelly, Executive Director of Municipal League of Metro St. LouisSupport the show (http://www.agcmo.org)

All five Donnybrookers are in tonight, discussing The Board of Freeholders, shining light on airport privatization, remembering Bill Bidwill, and debating Rex Sinquefield's donations to Gov. Parson.

The latest edition of Politically Speaking takes a closer look at what’s historically known as the Board of Freeholders, a 19-person body that could present a plan merging St. Louis and St. Louis County to local voters. Earlier this week, the Municipal League of Metro St. Louis submitted its last batches of signatures in St. Louis and St. Louis County to jumpstart the freeholders process. St. Louis County Board of Elections Democratic director Eric Fey said the county’s signatures will likely be certified on Monday.

After the failure of Better Together, city and county leaders are planning to put their heads together to decide whether St. Louis and St. Louis County should merge. But even people amenable to a merger aren't super optimistic this process will lead to systemic change.

The Municipal League of Metro St. Louis is in the process of submitting petitions to the election boards of the city and county that would begin the Board of Freeholders process. In this segment, Sarah Fenske talks with political correspondent Jason Rosenbaum and Municipal League executive director Pat Kelly who help explain how the Board of Freeholders process will work in the coming weeks and months.

The impact of the opioid epidemic in Cranford was dramatically shown in statistics released by the Cranford Police Department and the new chairman of the Union County Board of Freeholders comes from Cranford. In CHS sports, the wrestling team is looking to again repeat as champions in the Union County Tournament. More on these stories and others in this week's Cranford Radio headlines.

One community in our Greater Philadelphia region that is currently going through a renaissance is Camden County. Now calling Camden home is American Water, the largest and most geographically diverse U.S. publicly traded water and wastewater utility company.  Freeholder Moen and Ruben of the American Water team sat down with Matt Cabrey, Executive Director of Select Greater Philadelphia, a council of the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia and discussed how the new American Water’s headquarters is helping to revitalize the local community.

Katie Gillespie, Jake Thomas and Dameon Pesanti interview former County Manager Mark McCauley about his years at the county. Jake checks in with Nan Henriksen, former chair of the Board of Freeholders, about how Home Rule Charter implementation is going. Then, Ashley Swanson gives her usual roundup of how to get out and about in Clark County this weekend.

Florence v. Board of Chosen Freeholders of County of Burlington | 10/12/11 | Docket #: 10-945

A case in which the Court held that prisons that conduct suspicion-less strip searches on incoming inmates do not violate the prisoner's Fourth Amendment rights.

There are many cases on the U.S. Supreme Court docket to watch, from the highly publicized Fourth Amendment GPS tracking case in United States v. Jones, to indecency in FCC v. Fox Television, to a prisoner strip search case, Florence v. Board of Freeholders. Lawyer2Lawyer co-hosts and attorneys, Bob Ambrogi and J.
