The Sun Peaks Community Is In The Midst Of Change

On June 28, 2010 the Sun Peaks community became Canada’s first mountain resort municipality. Located in the interior of British Columbia, the newly incorporated destination is thirty four miles, or fifty five kilometers, northeast of Kamloops. With this designation comes the opportunity to control the destiny of the resort. Since that day the city has held an election for mayor and municipal council, opened a school, and passed local bylaws. Planning is also under way for a local composting facility. Sun Peaks will also be able to levy taxes and receive a portion of the Harmonized Sales Tax, or HST, charged at hotels in the area. These changes pave the way for controlled growth into a world class resort.

The Constitutional Case Against The Federal Sports Gambling Ban

Though legal sports betting is prohibited in the US by Federal law, there has been in recent years a re-examination of its logic on a variety of levels. Part of this is a desire for new revenue sources, while part is simply a growing acceptance of gambling in all forms. Ultimately, the true injustice of banning sports betting lies in its contempt for the Constitution.
