The Department is pleased to submit the attached plan to the General Assembly. TKH'HSDUWPHQW¶VSODQ for Medicaid reform is realistic and achievable. It has been produced with extensive input from stakeholders across the state, and we believe it is the right plan for North Carolina. This plan puts patients first, improves whole person care, increases budget predictability, and helps create a sustainable Medicaid program, all while building on what we have in North Carolina. In addition, the Department will apply strong benchmarks to monitor the progress of the reform in three critical areas: access, cost, and quality. Together we are dealing with the hardest questions that we face as a society. We have an obligation ± an obligation we have willingly accepted as a state ± to help those in need. And we must at the same time be good stewards of taxpayer resources.

  • Louis Dejoy Campaign Finance Complaint
    MEMORANDUM To: Common Cause North Carolina From: Bob Hall, Voting Matters Inc. Date: June 17, 2021 Re: Louis DeJoy Campaign Finance Complaint This memo is accompanied by a two-page summary of campaign contributions and a 12-page spreadsheet listing more than 350 donations that are the basis of my findings. Recent news reports indicate the FBI is conducting an investigation into possible illegal campaign contributions that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy provided to federal political committees. David Young, a former executive at DeJoy’s High Point-based New Breed Logistics, told the Greensboro News & Record and other reporters that DeJoy gave company bonuses as repayments to employees who made campaign contributions to politicians selected by DeJoy. Based on the Washington Post’s confirmation of that allegation with other New Breed employees in a story published on September 6, 2020, Common Cause North Carolina filed a complaint with North Carolina’s State Board of Elections and asked it to conduct an investigation of possible illegal contributions by DeJoy (and his company) to non-federal NC candidates, PACs and/or political committees regulated by the State Board and state law. The State Board has not closed its review of the complaint, but it is disappointing to read that Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman has decided there is no need for an investigation. An April 12, 2021, Associated Press article quotes Ms. Freeman saying, “Our review of what we believe to be pertinent, state campaign finance reports, did not disclose sufficient information to warrant a criminal investigation.” She said she made her decision around the end of 2020 and that it “does not cut off any potential federal investigation” of federal campaign contributions.

  • A Debate on Campaign Finance Disclosure
    A DEBATE ON CAMPAIGN FINANCE DISCLOSURE Tara Malloy* & Bradley A. Smith**† Moderator Ross Sneyd††: Joining me here is Tara Malloy, Senior Counsel for the Campaign Legal Center, and Bradley Smith, Chairman of the Center for Competitive Politics and Chair of the West Virginia University College of Law. Today we will address the state of campaign finance disclosure law as it stands in the wake of Citizens United v. FEC and, of course, the 2012 elections. Can each of you explain your view of how campaign finance has changed since Citizens United and in the wake of the most recent elections, and has that change been good or bad? Tara Malloy: So, how has campaign finance disclosure changed since the blockbuster Supreme Court decision in 2010, Citizens United v. FEC? To reach for some sort of literary allusion, it is the best of times and the worst of times for campaign finance disclosure. It is the best of times because the courts have affirmed, reaffirmed, and reaffirmed again the constitutionality of campaign finance disclosure as well as its importance.1 In fact, although it is not well known, Citizens United actually reaffirmed the constitutionality of a federal campaign finance disclosure law so the actual statutes were not in any way changed by Citizens United in the * Senior Counsel, Campaign Legal Center. Ms. Malloy joined the Campaign Legal Center in November 2006. She litigates a wide range of campaign finance and election law cases in state and federal court and has expertise in campaign finance, lobbying, and congressional ethics issues. Ms. Malloy has spoken at conferences and events nationwide on election law and has appeared as a legal expert on various news programs, including on MSNBC, PBS, and NPR.

  • Karen Brinson Bell Executive Director NC State Board of Elections June
    Karen Brinson Bell Executive Director NC State Board of Elections June 21, 2021 Dear Ms. Bell, Attached is an amendment to our complaint filed with the North Carolina State Board of Elections on September 9, 2020 regarding what we believe to be violations of state campaign laws by Louis DeJoy and employees of New Breed Logistics. The attachment includes a detailed analysis and memo by Bob Hall, former executive director of Democracy NC and noted campaign finance expert. His findings are damning and compelling indicators that state laws may have been broken. We respectfully submit this addendum and renew our request that an investigation be launched into DeJoy and others who may be involved in the alleged scheme to circumvent North Carolina’s campaign finance laws. Sincerely, Bob Phillips Executive Director Common Cause North Carolina 919-836-0027 - [email protected] 1 MEMORANDUM To: Common Cause North Carolina From: Bob Hall, Voting Matters Inc.

  • Citizen Green: Will Aldona Wos Be Our Next Secretary of State?
    Citizen Green: Will Aldona Wos be our next secretary of state? By Jordan Green October 12, 2017 As a Republican fundraiser, Dr. Aldona Wos has demonstrated an uncanny ability to position herself close to the power centers of the state and federal government. In 2003, she was appointed the North Carolina finance co-chair of the 2004 Bush-Cheney re-election campaign, and soon was rewarded with appointment as ambassador to Estonia. In 2012, Wos raised money for Republican Pat McCrory, who appointed her secretary of health and human services after his election as governor. Wos’ tenure at DHHS was marred by continual backlogs in food-assistance benefits and questions about a lucrative consulting contract with an employee of her husband’s logistics firm, but upon her resignation in 2015, Gov. McCrory famously wept with gratitude for her service. Over the past weekend, Wos and husband Louis DeJoy hosted President Trump at their $4.8 million Irving Park mansion in Greensboro for a $2,700-per-head fundraiser to benefit the Trump Victory Committee, a joint venture between the president and the Republican National Committee. The invitation to the fundraiser, which aimed to raise $2 million, reportedly advised guests: “The president and his team have had some missteps. However, it is hard to deny the extreme and unreasonable challenges he faces from the political establishment, the left-wing groups, the media and many of the federal employees of the agencies of the executive branch.” The unmistakable message from Dr. Wos to Trump: You need me. As the relationship between Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson continues to deteriorate, it’s worth keeping an eye on Dr.

MUR No. ________ LOUIS DEJOY c/o LDJ Global Strategies 628 Green Valley Road, Suite 203 Greensboro, NC 27408-7789 XPO LOGISTICS 5 American Lane Greenwich, CT 06831 COMPLAINT 1. This complaint is filed pursuant to 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(1) and is based on information and belief that Louis DeJoy and XPO Logistics have violated the Federal Election Campaign Act (“FECA”), 52 U.S.C. § 30101, et seq. 2. Specifically, there is reason to believe that Louis DeJoy violated FECA by reimbursing his employees for federal political contributions, using his own funds and/or corporate funds from the company he led, XPO Logistics, and its predecessor, New Breed Logistics, in violation of 52 U.S.C. §§ 30122 and 30118. In addition to reports by the Washington Post and the New York Times that multiple former New Breed employees who gave to DeJoy’s preferred candidates received bonuses as 1 reimbursement for their political contributions, campaign finance records also suggest that the pattern continued after XPO Logistics acquired New Breed in 2014. Between 2015 and 2018, during DeJoy’s tenure as XPO’s CEO and then as a board member, campaign finance records show several instances of XPO employees contributing to the same candidate or committee, during the same period of time, and often in similar amounts; DeJoy family members, including DeJoy’s college-aged children, also made contributions on the same day or in the same period as those employees.

    AmCham Speech 2012 September 10, 2012 “Never Go Back to Yesterday” Ambassador Howard Gutman Annual Amcham Belgium Gala Metropole Hotel The American Chamber of Commerce was hoping that Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan or Barack Obama or Joe Biden could address you tonight at this wonderful gala. But for some reason they were all busy.` So in the words of Jack Nicholson in the movie The Shining . “I’m baaacck.” Indeed it is an honor, a privilege and a true joy to serve even a single day as the U.S. Ambassador to Belgium. It is an honor and a privilege and a true joy to get to share this evening and to express some thoughts even once with such leaders of the Belgian-American business community and with such good friends. But Michelle and I have had the joy to now serve in Belgium for over three years -- I have become the second longest serving U.S. Ambassador to Belgium in 31 years. And I now have the honor and privilege to share some thoughts with you, the keepers of the Belgian-American business relationship, for a fourth time. Since this will almost certainly be my last time speaking at this dinner – more on that later – I would like to take the opportunity to thank Amcham, Marcel Claes, and Scott Beardsley first for the wonderful work they do fostering Belgian-American business relations and even moreso for the friendship they have shown to Michelle and me over the past 3 years. We look forward to that friendship continuing long after my ambassadorship has concluded.
