The Massachusetts Low and Moderate Income Housing Act (Act) was enacted in 1969 to promote the construction of low-income housing in restrictively zoned Massachusetts communities. It seeks to achieve its goal by providing a builder's remedy which, in effect, overrides local zoning ordinances. The local Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA), in deciding... |

SAVE THE CLEAVERS: TAXATION OF THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY |
13 Regent University Law Review 29 (2000-2001) |
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live. Over the last thirty-five years, the dual-earner family has gradually displaced the single-earner family as the typical family paradigm. Due in part to this paradigm shift, the quality of child care has undergone a negative transformation. Traditional families,... |

TAX COUNTS: BRINGING MONEY-LAW TO LATCRIT |
78 Denver University Law Review 575 (2001) |
Tax and business law have generally remained outside the LatCrit enterprise, and that is too bad. The problem may be that tax and business law seem to be ultimately about money, and worrying about money appears so crass--so alien to the issues of anti-subordination and social justice that have occupied center stage in LatCrit discourse. Those of us... |

Professor Paul R. McDaniel has performed an extremely valuable service in clarifying the relationship between trade and tax law. In particular, he has done so by pointing out that, to a large extent, the two spheres do not overlap, much less clash in their objectives. This makes sense because, fundamentally, the goal of trade law is to facilitate... |

Within the same framework used to formalize this justification, this paper shows that (1) even in the presence of an optimally redistributive tax, any... |
