Most Influential: Kevin Faulconer ... and the Rest of the List
» Newsletter SignUp About Advertising Contact Enter your email... Subscribe Most Influential: Kevin Faulconer ... And the rest of the list Our City is ending our list of San Diego's 20 Most Influential people with new Mayor Kevin Faulconer. He has become San Diego's Most Influential person. When we began compiling this list back at the end of 2013, the race to replace disgraced former Mayor Bob Filner was ongoing and it was unknown who would be leading the city. Now, of course, we know. Faulconer won easily over his opponent, freshman Council member David Alvarez. Faulconer won, but the honor brings its share of hurdles. First is continuing the work that interim Mayor Todd Gloria started, which is to bring stability and honor back to the office. Secondly, it is to lead the nation's eighth largest city at a time when many challenges face it, such as infrastructure woes, homelessness, a shortage of affordable housing, income inequality … Faulconer has stepped quickly into his new role. He's already spearheaded a number of initiatives to improve San Diego's neighborhoods, increase library and rec center hours and beef up public safety. He named Shelley Zimmerman as police chief, the first women in San Diego to hold that post. When the recent wildfires hit, he offered a calm and measured presence. His influence may well go beyond San Diego as well. He's the only Republican mayor of a major U.S. city. Other Republican politicians may look to his rise as a blueprint to achieve similar success. Recent Highlights He did so by taking a moderate approach on social issues. -

White House IRS SIGN on & OPED
FEDERAL TAX PENALTIE S FOR WATER EFFICIENCY REBATES WATERNOW ALLIANCE & NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES October 14th, 2016 Ali Zaidi, Associate Director for Natural Resources Christy Goldfuss, Managing Director Office of Management and Budget Council on Environmental Quality Jeffrey Zients, Director National Economic Council cc: Jerry Abramson, Director Dr. John Holdren, Director Intergovernmental Affairs Office of Science and Technology Policy Re: Federal Tax Penalties for Local Water Efficiency Rebates Dear Mr. Zaidi, Ms. Goldfuss, & Mr. Zients, As members of the National League of Cities and WaterNow Alliance, we ask for your support in resolving a federal issue of great importance to our communities. Public water utilities comprise over 80% of U.S. municipal water providers. Our ability to provide clean and reliable drinking water supplies faces growing challenges from drought, stormwater runoff, aging infrastructure, rising costs, and more. Consumer rebates and subsidies are among our most cost-effective and efficient tools for increasing water supply resilience, limiting pollutants in waterways, and keeping water affordable for citizens. Interest is growing to substantially increase these subsidies in order to scale water use efficiency and green infrastructure programs and avoid costlier, and less sustainable, alternatives for our utilities. As our water rebate programs have grown, there has been significant uncertainty as to how the IRS will treat these rebates, raising the question as to whether such a program might subject our agencies to penalties for failure to issue 1099s to participating consumers. These programs are limited to repayment for specific out-of-pocket expenses that benefit the community far more than consumers themselves. Requiring the recipients to be taxed on these reimbursements would work as a significant financial penalty, and thus a major disincentive for consumer participation in conservation programs, fundamentally undermining their effectiveness.
