    5/7/2018 Office of the Governor | GOVERNORS MURPHY, CUOMO, MALLOY, RAIMONDO, BAKER, CARNEY AND ROSSELLÓ ANNOUNCE NA… STATE OF NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR PHIL MURPHY GOVERNORS MURPHY, CUOMO, MALLOY, RAIMONDO, BAKER, CARNEY AND ROSSELLÓ ANNOUNCE NATION’S FIRST REGIONAL GUN VIOLENCE RESEARCH CONSORTIUM Trenton - New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, Delaware Governor John Carney, and Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló today announced the nation’s first Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium, a key initiative of the historic “States for Gun Safety” coalition between New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Delaware, and Puerto Rico. The consortium brings the thought leaders and top researchers from partner states together to undertake significant new research on all manners of gun violence, data collection and analysis across multiple disciplines. This unprecedented effort will provide the public, including policymakers, with new information to ultimately reduce the scourge of gun violence. This groundbreaking consortium fills the void left by the federal government's 1996 ban on the use of federal funds to study gun violence, which has obstructed research efforts across the nation, including at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. Governor Phil Murphy said, “Despite having some the toughest gun laws in the nation, New Jersey has suffered from roughly 80 percent of our gun crimes being committed with a gun trafficked across our borders. We’re losing young people across our state to the senseless epidemic of gun violence as Congress sits idly by on this issue.

  • Letter to Non-Agreement State Governors from Chairman Meserve Re
    June 6, 2002 The Honorable Tony Knowles Governor of Alaska P.O. Box 110001 Juneau, Alaska 99811 Dear Governor Knowles: I am writing on behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to inform you of actions which the NRC intends to take to enhance physical protection measures for the transportation of large quantities of radioactive material and spent nuclear fuel. I am requesting your cooperation and assistance in carrying out these actions. The Commission has directed the NRC staff to develop immediately effective Orders that impose additional physical protection measures on shipments of large quantities of radioactive material and spent nuclear fuel for transport by highway or rail. The Commission has concluded that these enhancements are necessary in the current threat environment. The content of the Orders will be modeled on the transportation advisories that NRC issued on November 8 and revised on December 13, 2001, which were provided to you through your State Liaison Officer. The NRC is taking this action pursuant to its authority under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, to protect the common defense and security. Because this authority has not been relinquished to Agreement States, the-NRC will be issuing the Orders to both NRC licensees and to licensees of Agreement States who possess, receive, or ship large quantities of radioactive material. Orders will be issued to licensees who have shipped large quantities of radioactive material within the last two years or who intend to ship in the near term. In addition, we will communicate with other licensees not receiving an Order informing them to contact the NRC before shipping large quantities of radioactive materials.

Given the unpromising projections, voices of resistance, anger, frustration, uncertainty, and hope are becoming increasingly visible on the island’s cities’ walls and spaces. Thus, based on the current situation of fiscal crisis, this visual essay narrates and documents the continuum of interpretations and opinions regarding the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) inscribed in the urban fabric over the past five years from now. Keywords: street art, bankruptcy, fiscal crisis, austerity, Puerto Rico Resumen Desde el 2016, el Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico experimenta un período de desafíos políticos junto con una severa austeridad económica. Dadas las proyecciones, las voces de resistencia, ira, frustración, incertidumbre y esperanza son cada vez más visibles en las paredes y espacios de las ciudades de la isla. Por tanto, dada la situación actual de crisis fiscal, este ensayo visual narra y documenta el continuo de interpretaciones y opiniones sobre la Ley de Supervisión, Gestión y Estabilidad Económica de Puerto Rico (PROMESA) inscritas en el tejido urbano durante los últimos cinco años.

We appreciate that preliminary disaster packages have advanced in both chambers. These are indeed encouraging signs, but after months of debate and continuing significant events driving widespread unmet needs for these states and communities even higher, now is the time to bring these efforts together in a final form and to bring national resources to bear where needed. Historic levels of destruction in the Caribbean, the Atlantic southeast, the Gulf coast, California, the Midwest, and even in the Pacific islands have left significant needs in their wakes impacting homeowners, farmers, our military, and Americans from all walks of life and in all parts of our far-flung nation. It is incumbent upon our national leadership to finalize a robust, timely, and fair package of assistance.

  • The Protection of Missouri Governors Has Come a Long Way Since 1881, When Governor Thomas Crittenden Kept a .44-Caliber Smith and Wesson Revolver in His Desk Drawer
    GOVERNOR’S SECURITY DIVISION The protection of Missouri governors has come a long way since 1881, when Governor Thomas Crittenden kept a .44-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver in his desk drawer. He had offered a $5,000 reward for the arrest and delivery of Frank and Jesse James, and kept the weapon handy to guard against retaliation. In less than a year, Jesse James had been killed, and in October 1882, Frank James surrendered, handing his .44 Remington revolver to Governor Crittenden in the governor’s office. In 1939, eight years after the creation of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, several troopers were assigned to escort and chauffeur Governor Lloyd Stark, and provide security at the Governor’s Mansion for the first family following death threats by Kansas City mobsters. Governor Stark had joined federal authorities in efforts to topple political boss Tom Pendergast. Within a year, Pendergast and 100 of his followers were indicted. In early 1963, Colonel Hugh Waggoner called Trooper Richard D. Radford into his office one afternoon. He told Tpr. Radford to report to him at 8 a.m. the following morning in civilian clothes. At that time, he would accompany Tpr. Radford to the governor’s office. The trooper was introduced to Governor John Dalton and was assigned to full-time security following several threats. Since security for the governor was in its infancy, Tpr. Radford had to develop procedures as he went along. There was no formal protection training available at this time, and the only equipment consisted of a suit, concealed weapon, and an unmarked car.
