I do what is known as “casework.” This is when a constituent contacts an elected official because they are having some sort of problem. Eviction, access to health care, issues getting public assistance, you name it. It is incredibly difficult work and is the least desired field among political staffers.

    THE MONTHLY NEWS MAGAZINE OF THE LANSING REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE • SEPTEMBER 2020 EDUCATION GETS A COVID-19 REBOOT IN THIS ISSUE: LRC-PAC ENDORSED CANDIDATES SCORE WINS IN AUGUST PRIMARY POTTER PARK ZOO CELEBRATES 100 YEARS FOCUS ON SMALL BUSINESS: MCONNEXIONS MESSAGE FROM THE CHAMBER Education and the Relaunch of our Local Economy ONE OF THE OVERARCHING INSIGHTS THAT HAS BECOME MORE EVIDENT than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been how connected we have become in our society. Nowhere does this become more apparent than in education. Closing and reopening schools touches all our lives, whether we have children in K-12, higher education, or work in the education arena. The issue of reopening our schools is also an important economic and workforce development issue. As we continue to reopen our economy, parents in the workforce will continue to grapple with balancing working, whether from an office or home, with the need to keep being engaged in their children’s learning in many cases from an online platform. Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chamber assembled a group of community and business leaders to provide leadership in helping to reopen our regional economy safely. Those involved in the early stages of RELAUNCH Greater Lansing Task Force immediately recognized the importance of having leading educators in both K-12 and higher education represented on TIM DAMAN the task force. President and CEO Lansing Regional The Lansing Regional Chamber is proud to have played a leadership role during COVID-19, not only in the RELAUNCH Chamber of Commerce Greater Lansing task force but actively communicating the latest information about COVID-19, something we found changed daily.

  • Nj's Lgbt Powerlist
    THE 2018 INSIDER OUT 100 NJ’S LGBT POWERLIST WE'VE COME A LONG WAY! Message from the Editor 2018 LGBT POWER Welcome to InsiderNJ’s OUT 100 Power List, a first-of-its kind-tribute to influential LGBTs in New Jersey politics. This list was a reader’s idea. My editor Max Pizarro and my General Manager Pete Oneglia green-lighted the idea so long as I promised to make it amazing. These Power Lists mean a lot to people. Making it amazing seems like the least I could do given this opportunity. P.O. Box 66 Verona, NJ 07044 [email protected] www.InsiderNJ.com WE’VE COME A LONG WAY, HAVEN’T WE? When I acquired HIV as a teenager back in 1992, you’d be hard pressed to name a single politically influential LGBT person anywhere in America, let alone 100 from a single state! Nobody was talking about gay marriage. There were no workplace protections back then, no gays in the military. What Max Pizarro we did have was a hostile government and an equally hostile Catholic Church driving our nation’s Editor-in-Chief AIDS policy. Which might explain why the life-saving AIDS “cocktail” was still years away, something [email protected] I blessedly wouldn’t need until 1998. Many listed below played a huge role taming the AIDS crisis and then delivering a raft of pro-LGBT laws in its wake. This list also includes the next generation of LGBTs already making their mark on the New Jersey political landscape. They’ve snatched the baton in a purposeful manner befitting a generation raised to dream bigger than mine ever could.

  • Forecasting Future Transit Route Ridership
    Transportation Research Record 1036 19 Forecasting Future Transit Route Ridership HERBERT S. LEVINSON ABSTRACT This paper contains an analysis of the ridership potentials of various public transportation options for the Michigan Avenue Corridor in East Lansing (.!_). Ridership projections were based on: corridor population and employment growth; changes in service levels resulting from the various options: and effects of changes in gasoline price, parking costs, and increased traffic congestion. An origin-destination matrix of bus riders was derived from on-and-off counts. Differential growth rates for various sections of the corridor were developed and applied to this derived matrix to derive future bus trip interchange pat­ terns. Elasticity factors were applied to specific trip linkages to estimate the impacts of reduced travel times for both the $0.35 fare in effect during 1979-1980, and the $0.50 fare placed in effect during June, 1981. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to quantify the impacts of changes in gasoline costs and availability, increased traffic congestion, and changes in downtown parking policy. Ridership estimates were developed for 1985 and 2000 for five service options. The daily ridership would increase from 6,235 passengers in 1980 (with a $0. 35 fare) to between 7, 200 and 9 ,ODO passengers by year 2000 for a $0. 50 fare. Peak-hour one-way riders at the maximum load point would rise from 440 passengers in 1980 to 860 passengers by year 2000 depending on the service option. The ridership forecasting methods have applicability in other urban areas as well. They are particularly valuable where it is reasonable to assume that transit will retain its share of the corridor travel market (i.e., short­ range forecasts).
