  • Banning the Practice of Government Shutdowns: an Analysis of the End Government Shutdowns Act
    BANNING THE PRACTICE OF GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS: AN ANALYSIS OF THE END GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS ACT by John C. Richardson A capstone project submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Public Management Baltimore, Maryland May, 2019 © 2019 John C Richardson All Rights Reserved Abstract When the United States government undergoes a partial shutdown, millions of Americans are forced to go without pay. In addition to the obvious undue stress this causes American families, the ripple effects of shutdowns include delayed government proceedings and massive economic losses. Partially in response to these losses, sitting politicians often lose credibility and support from the voting public. In wake of the 2018- 19 partial government shutdown – the longest in United States history - a plethora of proposals to end government shutdowns emerged. One such proposal is The End Government Shutdowns Act, which was introduced by Republican Ohio Senator Rob Portman. This act proposes to end partial government shutdowns by implementing an automatic continuing resolution to ensure that a failure to enact appropriations cannot be the impetus for such a shutdown. The resolution would create a 120-day grace period where all programs, projects, and activities were funded at the rate of the previous fiscal year. After the 120 days, there would sweeping 1% cuts to all appropriations provided for by the resolution. Additional 1% cuts would be implemented every succeeding 90-day period until all necessary appropriation legislation was passed for the new fiscal year. After explaining the causes of government shutdowns and the need for legislation to ban them, this capstone analyzes the potential of The End Government Shutdown Act as a proposed solution.

(“LDF”), our country’s first and foremost civil rights and racial justice organization, appreciates the opportunity to provide comments in response to the Federal Register notice (the “Notice”). Since its founding in 1940, one of LDF’s core missions has been the achievement of the full, equal, and active participation of all Americans, particularly Black Americans, in the political process.1 Consistent with this mission, LDF has engaged in public education campaigns to inform communities, particularly Black communities,2 about prior censuses and the upcoming 2020 Census, explaining the importance of the Census count and advocating for various changes to the Census, including reforming how incarcerated people are counted on Census Day and using a combined race and ethnicity question.3 Most recently, LDF has vigorously opposed and sought public records on the Census Bureau’s decision to add a citizenship status 1 LDF has been a separate entity from the NAACP, and its state branches, since 1957.

  • Judy Woodruff's Address on Journalism to the CPB Board Of
    1 CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING BOARD OF DIRECTORS Dinner / Remarks: Judy Woodruff Monday, December 9, 2019 Thank you, Bruce, and to the members of the Board for the invitation. I’m delighted to be here - you picked a really quiet time for news – there’s not much going on: Impeachment hearings today in the House Judiciary Committee – on the same day the Inspector General of the Department of Justice releases the long-awaited report on the origins of the Russia probe – and next week’s Democratic presidential candidate debate in Bruce’s hometown, L.A. When you first reached out last summer, you knew we’d be right in the thick of it, didn’t you? Seriously, it’s a treat to be here with so many champions of public broadcasting. To you, Bruce; to Pat Harrison, whom I’ve known going back many years, through your work at the State Department and even before then, promoting opportunities for women. Your great team at CPB, several of whom I’ve gotten to know, Michael Levy, the remarkable Kathy Merritt whom I met through PRI. I’m going to leave someone out. From PBS, Perry Simon and Michi Ebrahim, who work so closely with us at the NewsHour. From APTS, my long-time friend Pat Butler, we go back to your days working on Capitol Hill for the iconic Senator Howard Baker. Our friends at NPR, including my former colleague at CNN, Edith Chapin. And of course, our leader at WETA, Sharon Rockefeller, truly a ROCK supporting public media and the NewsHour going back many years.
