Senate Votes on Sen. Paul’s FY2013 Budget: A Platform to Revitalize America
May 16, 2012
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Senate voted on several budget resolutions including one introduced by Sen. Rand Paul. Also known as A Platform to Revitalize America, Sen. Paul’s resolution would balance the federal budget in five years, reform entitlement programs, and fix the tax system. Though the resolution did not pass the Senate with a vote of 16-83, it received 16 more votes than President Obama’s budget. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats refused to offer a plan of their own. Prior to the vote, Sen. Paul spoke on the Senate floor and urged his colleagues to support the plan.

Nelson County Planning and Zoning Ordinance Unconstitutional?
Here is an excerpt from our local planning and zoning ordinances:
Article 14.
A. Right of Entry:“Upon presentation of appropriate means of identification, the Administrative Official or Code Enforcement Officer or their respective deputies or designated representative, may enter during reasonable house any premises covered by these regulations to perform the duties imposed upon him by these regulations. “
We all need to keep a watch on this one. The ordinance is in clear violation of 4th Amendment to the US Bill of Rights. In order to be legal, we would need an officer of the law present with a court ordered search warrant. The good news is that it seems that since Fiscal Court has been made aware of this ordinance, certain changes in the provisions are currently be revised.
Republican Magistrate Jeff Lear has taken up the task and has promised to work toward more constitutionally sound provisions in our local planning and zoning laws.
