Ninety Nines News Letter PRESIDENT'S COLUMN NINETY December 1st'. That means 1945 is just about an ob­ solete number, but it was a good number, wasn't it? V-E day and V-J day; husbands, brothers, beaus and NINES other loved ones at home, coming home or out of danger; practically all rationing ended; and flying for pleasure again on the up-and-up. Now, for 1946'. A brand new number just loaded with opportunities for a banner year for the NINETY- NINES. 1 fairly burst with enthusiasm when I read about or hear from the various sections and chap­ ters all agog over the good times enjoyed at recent get-togethers and the plans made for future fun and work. Remember - The more we get together The happier we will be. During the winter time, I must admit that 1 am a bit timid about barging around the country in the face of uncertain weather, but 1 would like to have advance notices of your meeting places, times and dates with the thought in mind that I might NEWS drop in to get better acquainted with each NINETY- LETTER NINE member. You will be interested to learn that since Septem­ + ber 1st we have taken in 86 new members and 614 DECEMBER.15, 1945 reinstatements. Bring 'em in'. Your job doesn't * end there, though.

  • Mayors Support 30X30
    Mayors Support 30x30 Protecting 30% of America’s Land and Ocean by 2030 I, Mayor ________ of __________, support local, state, and federal action to confront America’s nature crisis by pursuing a goal of conserving at least 30 percent of our nation’s lands and ocean by 2030. Nature is indispensable to the health and prosperity of every community in America. We depend on our forests and streams for clean drinking water and clean air. Our lands are a place of cultural, ecological, and sacred resources that have sustained humanity for generations. Our ocean supplies wild fish that feed our country and provide endless wonder and enjoyment. Our rivers, mountains, and deserts are where families unplug and reconnect. Our parks, open spaces, beaches, trails, and public lands enrich communities’ quality of life and power America’s outdoor recreation economy. Our very existence depends upon the survival of a rich diversity of natural life. Achieving 30x30 will require an ambitious and inclusive movement that engages local, state, national and Tribal leaders, as well as private landowners, as part of the solution. Efforts to conserve, protect, and restore our natural world will be guided by science, protect private property rights, honor Tribal sovereignty, and engage local communities to ensure that the benefits of nature are equitably shaped and shared by all. Positive, bipartisan, community-driven conservation efforts are already happening in our community. I pledge to continue to pull stakeholders together—recognizing this goal will take action at the neighborhood, community, state, and national level. Together, we can and must protect nature for generations to come.

  • President Donald J. Trump the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C
    President Donald J. Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: As elected officials, we write today to express our strong support for resettling refugees in our states and communities and urge you to resettle at least 75,000 refugees in Fiscal Year 2019. We hope that you will take into consideration the voices of state and local communities as we join together in support of this life-saving program and express their desire to help protect refugees in need. Every day, 44,000 people are displaced from their homes because of violence, persecution, or war. The United Nations Refugee Agency reports that over 68.5 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide, 25.4 million of whom are registered as refugees. More than half of those registered are children. Despite this ongoing crisis, last year the United States set its lowest ever resettlement goal of 45,000 refugees, and to date, has only resettled 18,214 refugees this fiscal year. This is one of the lowest numbers of refugees the U.S. has resettled in the history of the program, at the time of the greatest need. We can do so much more. The United States of America is a nation founded and built by immigrants and refugees. It is that history that makes our collective states and communities strong; it is our deep respect for hard work, our shared commitment to the country we call home, and our belief that America is a beacon of hope, that unites us. We have heard our constituents express their support for resettling refugees in our communities.

  • Mayors for Solar Energy
    For more information, visit: https://environmentamerica.org/feature/ame/mayors-solar-energy Mayors for Solar Energy We, the undersigned U.S. Mayors and local officials, resolve to make solar energy a key element of our communities' energy plans. Accelerating the growth of solar will reduce pollution while revitalizing our communities by creating jobs and keeping energy dollars in our local economies. Expanding solar power helps residents and businesses benefit from lower energy costs while providing more local control of energy and improving our communities' resilience. Therefore, solar energy can and should be a much larger part of our energy mix than it is today. The U.S. has the potential to produce 100 times more solar power than the total amount of energy we consume each year. We must continue to harness this vast source of clean energy for the benefit of all of our citizens. As local leaders, we know that our communities are particularly well-suited to adopt solar power. Cities and towns are natural centers of electricity demand, have the rooftops and infrastructure needed for installing solar panels, and can craft policies to help residents and utilities make the switch to solar power. With a concerted effort underway on the state and federal levels to limit the growth of solar by fossil fuel special interests, communities like ours across the country need to act quickly to continue our progress toward renewable energy. By signing this statement in support of solar, we commit to supporting efforts to advance solar energy in our local communities, states, and the nation.

    April 21, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Mitch McConnell Majority Leader Minority Leader U.S. Senate U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Schumer, Minority Leader McCarthy, and Minority Leader McConnell: We, the undersigned state and local officials, are asking Congress to seize a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help our communities recover by creating and sustaining millions of good paying jobs, putting us on the path to 100% clean energy and building a more equitable and just society. We applaud President Biden and Congress for passing COVID relief, including desperately needed state and local government funding and expanded vaccinations. The American Rescue Plan was a vital first step but as state and local leaders we know the everyday reality facing our communities. There is still much more to be done to deliver the recovery our communities need and deserve, while tackling the interconnected crises of climate change, economic inequality, and racial injustice. The country needs a large-scale jobs and recovery package to put millions back to work. We can make transformative investments in sustainable infrastructure and buildings, clean energy, and clean manufacturing to reduce pollution, address environmental injustice, and prepare for the threats of climate change. Clean energy is the fastest-growing industry in America. It can revitalize domestic manufacturing and expand high-quality union jobs to help rebuild the middle class.

  • December 10, 2019 the Honorable Mitch Mcconnell Majority Leader U.S. Senate the Honorable Chuck Schumer Minority Leader U.S
    December 10, 2019 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House U.S. Senate U.S. House of Representatives The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader U.S. Senate U.S. House of Representatives Dear Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, As bipartisan mayors representing communities in 21 states and the District of Colombia, we write to urge you to include S. 1703/H.R. 3077, the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2019, as part of any tax package. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit) is our nation’s primary tool for encouraging private investment in affordable rental housing. This bipartisan legislation would help strengthen and expand the highly effective Housing Credit, resulting in more than half a million additional affordable homes nationwide over the next decade. Our nation is facing one of the worst housing crises in our history. As residents of our cities continue to face these challenges, we know that access to safe and affordable housing is essential for the health and well-being of our residents and the economic strength of our communities. Nearly 11 million renter households – one in four of all renters in the U.S. – spend more than half of their monthly income on housing costs alone. With that severe cost burden, there is very little left for other necessities, such as food, healthcare, education, and transportation to employment, let alone for retirement or college savings.

    February 4, 2021 (Update #4) The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Charles E. Schumer Speaker Majority Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy The Honorable Mitch McConnell Republican Leader Republican Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, Leader McCarthy and Leader McConnell: RE: Urgent Action Needed on President Biden’s American Rescue Plan On behalf of The United States Conference of Mayors, we urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including providing direct fiscal assistance to all cities, which is long overdue. President Biden’s American Rescue Plan contains such assistance as part of an aggressive strategy to contain the virus, increase access to life-saving vaccines, and create a foundation for sustainable and inclusive recovery. American cities and our essential workers have been serving at the frontlines of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for nearly a year. We have been charged with executing herculean public health efforts and an unprecedented emergency response. Despite immense fiscal pressure, your local government partners oversaw those efforts, while trying to maintain essential services and increase our internal capacity to provide support for residents and businesses who have been crippled by a tanking economy. And yet, as the economic engines of our country, local governments will be relied upon to lead the long- term economic recovery our nation so desperately needs, even as, with few exceptions, cities have been largely left without direct federal assistance.
