Energy and Environment Law Update: October 21, 2012
Energy and Climate DebateWith Congress in recess until after the looming November elections, energy issues continue to make headlines both on the campaign trail and during preparations for the lame duck session.One of the biggest end-of-the-year debates will be over the tax extenders package, and its potential inclusion in some sort of fiscal cliff avoidance package. The Senate Finance committee has already reported out legislation (S. 3521) that would extend the wind energy production tax credit and other expiring energy incentives that may be included in that broader package. The Family and Business Tax Cut Certainty Act of 2012, approved August 2 by the Senate Finance Committee, includes more than $18 billion in energy-related tax incentives that could be extended; $12.1 billion would fund a one-year extension of the 2.2 cent per KWh production tax credit and pay for a change that allows wind projects that are under construction by the end of next year to be eligible for the credit. … [Read more...] about Energy and Environment Law Update: October 21, 2012

Netflix’s new series ‘First and Last’ accurately details many aspects of county jail life
Home Daily News Netflix's new series 'First and Last' accurately… Law in Popular Culture By Adam Banner Posted September 20, 2018, 6:00 am CDT I promise I watch other things besides Netflix. I know it might not seem like it, judging from the content of my last few columns, but it really is true. Netflix just so happens to have created a lot of new content lately, and much of it focuses on crime and associated topics in the law.

One of their most recent original docuseries—First and … [Read more...] about Netflix’s new series ‘First and Last’ accurately details many aspects of county jail life
