GREEN GODDESS | MONDAY, MAY 23, 2011  Proposition B
I found an interesting article via Reuters about a new concept in Business called a "B Corp." They say a new kind of corporate legal structure is needed to require companies to operate for the good of society, not just for their shareholders. These new corporations -- they're called B Corporations -- are growing in number, and their structure has been enshrined into law in four states -- Vermont, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia.

New York City (including the outer boroughs)gained only 127,000 in residents since the last Census. If there is ever a city that demonstrates the current two tier economy its this one.
