    Congress of the United States Washington, D.C. 20515 May 12, 2021 The Honorable Janet L. Yellen Secretary U.S. Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, D.C., 20429 Dear Secretary Yellen: We write to request that the Treasury Department urgently provide additional guidance in support of Ohio townships. As we have previously written, the final passed version of the American Rescue Plan Act (Public Law No: 117-2) does not clearly state that townships are eligible for funding under the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund due to the definition of “non-entitlement unit of local government.” On May 10, 2021, the Treasury Department released long awaited interim rules on the use and eligibility of funding under P.L. 117-2. Unfortunately, the interim rules did not clarify the eligibility of townships to receive this funding, and instead states that “Treasury plans to provide further guidance on distributions to non-entitlement units in the coming days.” As you work on these final rules on the distribution to non-entitlement units of government, we ask that you make explicit that Ohio townships are eligible. Ohio townships provide critical services to their communities similar to that of cities, including police and fire protection, maintenance of roads, emergency medical services, solid waste disposal and zoning. The intent of the legislation was to provide assistance to local governments in the wake of the pandemic, and further guidance should reflect Congressional intent by deeming townships eligible. We thank you for your attention to this critical issue that disproportionately impacts local governments throughout the state of Ohio.
  • Most Corrupt: Representative Maxine Waters

    Most Corrupt: Representative Maxine Waters

    MOST CORRUPT: REPRESENTATIVE MAXINE WATERS Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) is an eleven-term member of Congress, representing California’s 35th congressional district. She is a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee. Rep. Waters’ ethics issues stem from a meeting she arranged between officials at the Department of Treasury and OneUnited Bank, a bank with which she has financial ties. In August 2010, an investigative subcommittee of the House Ethics Committee issued a Statement of Alleged Violation charging Rep. Waters with three counts of violating House rules and ethics regulations in connection with her actions regarding OneUnited. Later that year, however, the committee indefinitely postponed a scheduled ethics trial, citing the discovery of new evidence.1 In addition, news reports raised other questions about the conduct of the committee and its investigators during the Waters investigation, prompting an internal investigation that is still ongoing.2 Rep. Waters was included in CREW’s 2005 and 2006 congressional corruption reports for unrelated matters, and in CREW’s 2009 congressional corruption report for her actions regarding OneUnited.3 Intervention Between OneUnited and Treasury Officials Rep. Waters has close financial ties to OneUnited Bank, one of the largest black-owned banks in the country.4 In March 2004, she and her husband, Sidney Williams, each separately bought OneUnited stock worth between $250,001 and $500,000.5 Additionally, Mr. Williams maintained separate holdings at OneUnited worth between $250,001 and $500,000. In September 2004, Rep. Waters sold her stock in OneUnited, and her husband sold a portion of his 1 Due to serious questions about the actions of House Ethics Committee staff members involved in the Waters investigation, CREW in July 2011 called for an investigation of the House Ethics Committee and said there can be no confidence in the committee’s August 2010 Statement of Alleged Violation.

    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

    September 25, 2019 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader McCarthy: The American Financial Services Association (AFSA)1 writes to express its strong support for H.R. 1595, the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act, which is scheduled for consideration before the House of Representatives on September 25. H.R. 1595, sponsored by Representatives Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), Denny Heck (D-WA), Steve Stivers (R-OH) and Warren Davidson (R-OH), along with more than 200 bipartisan House members, includes an important provision ending Operation Choke Point. Specifically, it prohibits a federal banking agency from ordering a bank to terminate a banking relationship with a legal business unless there is a valid reason and that reason is not based solely on reputational risk. The ostensible intent of Choke Point program was to prevent criminal fraud. However, in actuality, federal officials pressured banks to close accounts of businesses operating within state and federal law without legal recourse or due process solely because the officials were ideologically opposed to the businesses’ existence. Under Operation Choke Point, businesses that were operating legally suddenly found banks terminating their accounts, in some cases accounts that the business had had for years, without explanation. While the program was targeted at gun dealers and payday lenders, other businesses, such as installment lenders, were also impacted. No legal business should be targeted solely based on the political bias of a particular administration.

We agree. In order for us to conduct a fair and nonpartisan process, we must hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethical conduct as we continue proceedings to consider the election contests before our Committee. We write to bring to your attention to a serious conflict of interest regarding Marc Elias, an attorney with the law firm Perkins Coie. In the election contests currently before us, Mr. Elias simultaneously represents Members of the Committee, the triers of fact and law, and parties to these contests, an arrangement clearly prohibited by attorney ethics rules and obligations.

    2018 Post-General Election Update

    2018 post-general election update November 7, 2018 On Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Ohioans cast ballots in the 2018 general election. For the first time since 2006, five statewide elected offices were up for election without an incumbent running in the 2018 general election. Federal offices, including all Ohio U.S. Representatives seats and one U.S. Senate seat, two Ohio Supreme Court seats, all seats in the Ohio House of Representatives and 17 Ohio Senate seats were on the ballot. Many counties in Ohio and around the country reported record- breaking early voter turnout. Nearly 1.5 million ballots were requested by mail and in person, and an estimated 1.3 million had been cast as of the close of early voting on November 5, 2018. Here is Bricker & Eckler’s overview of the 2018 general election results and details on races of particular interest. STATEWIDE BALLOT ISSUES Issue 1: This proposed constitutional amendment was filed as the “Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment, and Rehabilitation Amendment.” If adopted, the amendment would have, among other things, required reductions in sentencing in certain situations, mandated that certain criminal offenses or uses of any drugs, such as fentanyl and heroin, can only be classified as a misdemeanor, and prohibited jail time as a sentence for obtaining, possessing or using such drugs until an individual’s third offense within 24 months. Issue 1 was defeated by 63.41 percent. The Ohio Safe and Healthy Communities Campaign led the way in support of the proposed constitutional amendment. Supporters of Issue 1 were financially supported by Open Society Policy Center, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Open Philanthropy Project Action Fund.
