					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;First dubbed &ldquo;Eden&rdquo; by settlers at the end of the eighteenth century, Bar Harbor, Maine has always sounded like the quintessential place to vacation. Even the original
&nbsp;inhabitants, the Wabanaki Indians, called the area Ah-bays'auk or the &ldquo;clambake place.&rdquo; While the style and tone of Bar Harbor has shifted as America matured over the
&nbsp;centuries, one thing has remained constant: people voyage to this corner of Maine to relax, eat clams and bask in some of the most gorgeous scenery in
&nbsp;New England.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Even while faced with massive deficits, the governors of each of the New England
&nbsp;states have pledged not to raise taxes in their proposed fiscal year 2011
&nbsp;budgets. While this is good news for taxpayers in the short run, no new taxes
&nbsp;in 2011 comes at the price of cuts to city, town and state services and added
&nbsp;pressure on future administrations to raise taxes.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;While it&rsquo;s generally understood how to employ the first two people &ndash; to call the accountant when bills are due and at tax time and the property manager
&nbsp;pretty much all the time &ndash; rules for engaging the condo&rsquo;s lawyer remain somewhat vague. For instance, exactly when should you contact your attorney? What is the best way to contract for legal services? And who should be pointperson for contacting the attorney?

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;With New England condominiums still grappling with the recent economic downturn,
&nbsp;it&rsquo;s no accident that most new state condo legislation deals with money matters.
&nbsp;From a proposed superlien law in New Hampshire that would put condos first in
&nbsp;line to collect unpaid condo fees, to a Rhode Island bill that makes it easier
&nbsp;for condos to borrow for repairs, helping the condominium&rsquo;s bottom line is a prevailing theme of new condo legislation. A state-by-state
&nbsp;breakdown of current legislation finds most legislatures sympathetic to the
&nbsp;problems of condominiums.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;The late 1990s saw a surge of nationwide smoking restrictions put into effect.
&nbsp;State by state, smoking ban legislation was proposed, put to a vote and passed
&nbsp;into law. No public dwelling seemed untouched, including the workplace, shops,
&nbsp;theaters, favorite restaurants and bars.

					  <link>http://condomagazines.com/articles/214/1/2009-Legislative-Update/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[While only a few states guarantee a &#8220;right-to-dry,&#8221; at the time of this writing, proposed legislation aimed to remove bans on clotheslines within condominium associations appears on several statehouse docket lists in New England. Arguments are fervent on both sides of the issue; at the core is the balance of the protection of private rights versus energy conservation for the public good. The wording and intent of the right-to-dry bills vary by state. While as many as ten states currently have legislation allowing energy-saving devices such as solar panels, only a handful &#8211; including Florida, Utah, Colorado and Hawaii &#8211; currently have laws that specifically protect homeowners&#8217; rights to use clotheslines, according to various reports.
