So stores will be allowed to charge up to $1 for their stockpiled plastic bags that cost them less than a penny, AND keep the proceeds?!?!?!!?!? What lawmaker came up with that brilliant idea?
A study in Latin America and the Caribbean showed that an increase in the share of high-school graduates by two percentage points was linked to a reduction in the homicide rate by one victim per 100,000 people. Conversely, the “bulging” of the youth population in developing countries can cause challenges for the education system and place additional stress on already overstrained labour markets. The combination of this youth bulge, poor education and high levels of unemployment may push young people to engage in delinquent and violent behaviour and even to be lured into organized crime structures. These processes drive high levels of homicide in some countries
We have roughly 25 murders per 100,000 people, so can we raise the number of high school graduates by 50% ?????
We already have commitments from a local commercial bank, who has pledged they will fund is based on government's approval; legislated approval," Mr Robinson told Tribune Business. "They said they'll fund it up to 70 percent, and we'll raise the remaining percent through private and public sources. AND: "We have an international entity that's interested in funding the whole thing once the Government signs off on it and does legislation for it. It has to be legislated."
