The #Yukon #Government is asking citizens to submit red tape issues. Good! There is an online form, but it is not easy to find:
https://forms2.service.yukon.ca/ca/en/ecdev/red-tape-reduction.html
They ask you to "upload any documentation to support your feedback", but then they restrict that to ".png, .jpeg, .doc, .docx or .pdf" - and only a single file, max 10 MByte.
Can't make that up.

🚦 Ah, the ol' "more cooks in the kitchen" conundrum, except now it's "more layers of review" — because everyone knows #bureaucracy is the true sport of #champions. 🏆 Apparently, assembling a human pyramid of red tape doesn't speed things up? Who knew! At least now we have an equation to validate our #procrastination. 📈

Our govts are keen to reduce #RedTape for business and Investments arguing it to be necessary to grow the economy, yet the very people who provide the seed ideas for such growth and prosperity are plunged into bottomless pits of excrutiating govt processes.
“Discovery grants are a key pillar of Australia’s research ecosystem, allowing scientists to do fundamental “blue-sky” research over a three-year funding period.
The Australian Research Council took nine months to process the 2025 grants. For the 2026 grants, they are now proposing to take up to 16 months.”

⚠️Spoiler Alert: When complexity feels "too simple to be true," it is usually because the reality is simple.
Despite past tricks, we can no longer afford to artificially complicate simple problems just to squeeze out more tax revenue.

Ting trækker lidt ud med den nye opgave. I kontrakten står der, at jeg garanterer at jeg kan blive sikkerhedsgodkendt. By all means, jeg stiller gerne op og svarer på spørgsmål, men garanterer ligefrem?
Jeg er jo ikke ligefrem den udstedende myndighed, og såvidt jeg forstå er det noget der udstedes til én specifik stilling/opgave, og ikke noget man "kan tage med sig". En tidligere godkendelse kan allerhøjest være en mild indikator for at det måske kan lade sig gøre igen.
Anyhoo, vi afventer lige lidt formulleringshalløj, tager ja-hatten på og håber på det bedste.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYou/115938984311661815
I agree that environmental laws often went too far. Their extremism slowed the construction of housing, which caused people to move from blue-states to red-states, giving red-states and Republicans an increasing Electoral College advantage which affects presidential elections.
Blue-states are rewriting their laws, to remain competitive.

https://www.cvilletomorrow.org/planning-commission-ruling/ I had not realized that an entire basket of zoning process improvements I had taken for granted had been killed in Virginia since 2012.

State by State Pending and Recently Passed #AntiProtestLaws: #Iowa
SF 342: Heightened penalties for protesters convicted of "riot," "unlawful assembly," or blocking traffic, and immunity for #drivers who injure them
Introduces felony penalties for the offense of "riot," previously an aggravated misdemeanor, such that the offense is punishable by up to 5 years in prison and $7,500. Preexisting law defines "riot" as a group of three or more people assembled "in a violent manner," at least one of whom uses any unlawful force or violence against another person or causes property damage. The law also converts "unlawful assembly" from a simple to an aggravated misdemeanor. Preexisting law defines "unlawful assembly" as a group of three or more people, any of whom are acting "in a violent manner," and who intend that any of them will commit an offense. Under the law, it is a serious (rather than simple) misdemeanor, punishable by one year in jail and a $1,875 fine, to "obstruct" a sidewalk, street, or "other public way" with the intent to hinder its use by others. If an individual obstructs a sidewalk or street while "present during an unlawful assembly," it is an aggravated misdemeanor, punishable by 2 years in jail and a $6,250 fine. If an individual obstructs a sidewalk or street while "present during a riot," it is a Class D felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a $7,500 fine. Under the law, a driver who injures someone who is participating in a "protest, demonstration, riot, or unlawful assembly," engaging in "disorderly conduct," and blocking traffic, is immune from civil liability as long as the driver was exercising "due care" and the protester did not have a permit to be in the street. The law would also allow law enforcement who experience a physical or other injury while on duty to pursue civil damages from a person, group, or organization. Finally, the law creates a new felony offense for "defacing" public property, "including a monument or statue." The offense, a Class D felony, is punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a $7,500, and mandatory restitution for any property damage. This law was introduced and passed by the Senate as SF 534, but passed by the House as an amendment to SF 342.

Introduced 1 Mar 2021; Approved by Senate 10 March 2021, Approved by House 14 April 2021, Signed by Governor 16 June 2021
Issue(s): Civil Liability, Protest Supporters or Funders, Driver Immunity, Riot, Traffic Interference
HF 952: Requiring state permission for protests in the capitol and on capitol grounds
Would require organizers to have a government sponsor in order to hold protests in or near the Iowa capitol. Under the bill, organizers cannot hold “events” in capitol buildings or on capitol grounds unless they have a “recommendation” either from a statewide elected official or by both a member of Iowa’s state senate and its house of representatives. The bill would also prohibit the same person from holding more than six “events” per year in or around the capitol. Neither the bill nor the relevant provisions of Iowa law define “events,” such that they could seemingly include public protests and demonstrations. As such, the bill would effectively give elected officials authority to allow or disallow protests near the capitol.

Status: pendingIntroduced 12 Mar 2025.
HF 25: Heightened penalties for #MaskedProtesters
Would increase the penalty for any offense if committed by someone wearing a mask or other device that concealed their identity for the purpose of facilitating the offense. The bill provides #exemptions for masks worn in a number of contexts, including holiday costumes, medical masks, and “#hood[s]” or other “disguise[s]” worn by members of “a society, order, or organization while engaged in any parade, ritual” or “ceremony.” As such, for instance, members of the #KluKluxKlan would seemingly be exempt from enhanced penalties for illegally blocking traffic while parading in the street wearing hoods. The bill does not exempt masks worn during public protests, nor does it limit the enhanced penalties to violent crimes. Accordingly, a peaceful protester who committed a nonviolent offense while wearing a mask could face steeper penalties. A masked demonstrator engaged in a vigil who failed to disperse after being ordered to do so by police, for instance, could face up to a year in jail, rather than 30 days.
