Biography After studying at Leipzig and Göttingen he entered the Hanoverian civil service in 1770 as councillor of the board of domains (Katnmerrat); but, finding his advancement slow, he set out--on the advice of King George III--on a course of travels, spending some time at Wetzlar, Regensburg (where he studied the mechanism of the Imperial government), Vienna and Berlin.

Ken Livingstone - time), and when both the GLC and the Militant-controlled Merseyside council protested the government's rate-capping policy by refusing to set a property tax rate, Livingstone relented rather than face the withdrawl of government grant money. Livingstone's practicality (relative to the rest of the Labour left) may in part explain why his popularity grew at a time when other "hard left" figures like Benn and the Militants found themselves increasingly isolated from the general public. Following the Conservative sweep in the 1983 general election, the Tories forged ahead with their long-standing plan to abolish the GLC and devolve control to the individual boroughs. The GLC mounted a massive (and expensive) campaign to "save London's democracy," while the proposed abolition bill (which also abolished six other Labour-controlled metropolitan councils, including Merseyside) faced opposition.

Klamath County, Oregon - deliveries to 1,400 farmers of the Klamath Project. This resulted in numerous demonstrations and farm-related bankrupcies. In the following summer, there was once again insufficient water for both irrigation and wildlife. The Bush administration ruled that farmers would this time receive preference for water use. As a result, the temperature of the Klamath River water greatly increased, leading to the deaths of 32,000 salmon, affecting commercial and local Native American treaty fishing. Many conservation groups have criticized this decision. In June, 2003, Bureau of Reclamation officials have informed farmers in the Klamath project that they must reduce water use by 25% through July to avoid another repeat of this crisis. Complicating the situation, farmers and ranchers who have been diverting water flowing into the Upper Klamath Lake are not subject to.
