  • Carrying on Tradition of Public Service, Teacher Karen Castor Dentel Announces Run for House District 30
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 16, 2012 Contact: Karen Castor Dentel 407-312-8310 [email protected] Carrying on tradition of public service, teacher Karen Castor Dentel announces run for House District 30 Maitland, FL - Maitland teacher Karen Castor Dentel today announced her candidacy for the newly drawn Florida State House District 30. Several factors combined to convince Dentel, 43, to shift her attention from running a classroom to running for office. "I am running to improve public education and fight for better economic opportunities for our neighbors in Orange and Seminole," said Dentel. "As an elementary school teacher and mother-of-two, I am increasingly frustrated with the substantial harm being inflicted on our students and our public schools by the state legislature. I want the best for our students, our schools and our community,” Dentel said. “As a classroom teacher, I know what works and what doesn't and I’ll bring my positive know-how to the state capitol.” Dentel, the PTA and parents across the state were galvanized by the progress last legislative session of the so-called "Parent Trigger bill," which would have allowed private corporations to take over struggling public schools. “That bill was a perfect example of everything that is wrong in Tallahassee. Not only is it bad policy to just hand public assets to private businesses, but the process of pushing that bill through committee was rigged as well: The bill’s supporters wouldn’t allow any real discussion or criticism before it was voted on. There was a deliberate attempt to shut out parents and teachers from the process," Dentel said.

  • 2014 Year End Report
    1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2014 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon during 2014. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.
