Agenda 21 and the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission (NKAPC)
by Legate Damar
Have you ever heard of Agenda 21? If not, don't feel bad, because most Americans haven't. A poll of 1,300 United States voters by the American Planning Association found that 9% supported Agenda 21, 6% opposed it, and 85% thought they didn't have enough information to form an opinion. Agenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regard to sustainable development. The concept sustainable development (SD) refers to a mode of human development in which resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come. Agenda 21 was a product of the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is an action agenda for the UN, other multilateral organizations, and individual governments around the world that can be executed at local, national, and global levels. The "21" in Agenda 21 refers to the 21st century. It has been affirmed and modified at subsequent UN conferences. The philosophy behind Agenda 21 is that our environmental problems (e.g., global warming, etc.) are the number one problem that we are facing, and that those problems are being caused by human activity. Therefore, according to Agenda 21 human activity needs to be tightly monitored, regulated and controlled for the greater good. Individual liberties and freedoms must be sacrificed for the good of the planet. Those that promote the philosophy underlying Agenda 21 believe that human activity must be managed and free market economies are destructive and dangerous.

CVG Needs Competition to Lower Fares
by Legate Damar
During the deregulation movement in the airline industry in the late 1970’s Delta primarily served the South, but wanted to expand into the Midwest. United Airlines and American Airlines both had bases in Chicago. Continental Airlines already had a strong presence in Cleveland, and struggling Northwest was building a hub in Detroit, having run out of room in Minneapolis. Cincinnati’s airport, known as CVG in the airline industry, offered many benefits to Delta in support of creating a hub here. Cincinnati had numerous Fortune 500 companies, the airline had strong historical ties to Cincinnati, the weather was decent, there was plenty of runway space and airport officials were willing to accommodate them. (Why CVG lost half of all flights, 2010). Although it may have seemed like it was a good economic decision at the time, airport officials were making a Faustian bargain with the airline by allowing Delta to become a monopoly at CVG.
