GRCC Law/ Primiani Webpage


This is an experimental site to augment Mr. Primiani's GRCC law courses. If you are a registered student in my POLS 200 Introduction to Law, or Bus&amp 201 Business Law course, you are invited to participate!

Here students can post questions, issues or answers that relate to our classroom discussion in order to document "participation points", which is part of the grade for the respective courses. In addition, student groups can upload their powerpoint presentations so that they can "virtually" work on their presentations in real time. This can also allow for tracking of changes/editing. As we use this site together, we may find more uses that emerge from our trial and error experience.

See Wiki's in Plain English video for a brief explanation of how this works: http://www.commoncraft.com/video-wikis-plain-english
Thank you for joining me on this journey to Wikiland....Have fun, and learn, ............they are not mutually incompatible!

pyoung7 Initiatives, referendums and recalls 0 Tuesday, 11:20 PM EST by pyoung7
Thread started: Tuesday, 11:20 PM EST  Watch
I looked on Wikipedia and it states that 24 states plus the District of Columbia still have 'I & R's'. There is talk in several states about reforming the process however, due to the ability for a well-funded individual to put together an initiative and hire people to gather signatures (which is how Tim Eyman operates) to get on the ballots. Other reforms proposed would be a cooling off period to allow the legislature to act and paying signature gatherers by the hour, rather than by the signature. Another proposal is to allow for national initiatives, though there was not much detail on that.

Christinefavorette Recall States 1 Tuesday, 5:58 PM EST by fprimiani
Thread started: Monday, 9:30 PM EST  Watch
Today in class Frank mentioned how states allow Initiative, referendum & recall. I googled and found out that according to the national conference of state legislatures, " Eighteen states permit the recall of state officials. A recent, high-profile example of the recall process was the recall of California Governor Gray Davis and his replacement with Arnold Schwarzenegger". According to ballotpedia.org, Washington state is one of the 18.
There was a lot of interesting information on this site including a detail description of Initiative, Referandum & Recall. Follow this link to get to the page I am referencing:

or go to ncsl.org and snoop around!
