Abstract Over the years, the Palm Center (PC) in Houston, Texas, has been the beneficiary of several economic development endeavors designed to ignite economic and community growth and revitalization. While these endeavors brought forth initial success, they have failed to transform the PC into a lasting model of economic growth and prosperity and to inspire community pride and engagement. The development of METRO’s Southeast Line light rail station at the Palm Center Transit Center presents the prime opportunity for meeting the needs of the community by implementing design concepts and principles that provide social, environmental, and economic benefits to those living within close proximity of the transit station.

  • Revolving Congress
    Revolving Congress: The Revolving Door Class of 2019 Flocks to K Street Nearly Two Thirds of Former Members of 115th Congress Working Outside Politics and Government Have Picked Up Lobbying or Strategic Consulting Jobs By Alan Zibel, Public Citizen Research Director May 30, 2019 – Nearly two-thirds of recently retired or defeated U.S. lawmakers now working outside politics have landed jobs influencing federal policy, providing further evidence that members of Congress continue to spin through Washington’s revolving door at astonishing rates. Public Citizen analyzed the post-Congress employment activities of the 115th Congress, which started in 2017 and concluded on Jan. 3 of this year. Of the former members who have found new jobs outside of government and politics, 59% (26 of 44) were working for lobbying firms, consulting firms, trade groups or business groups working to influence federal government activities. Many others were working in television (14%) law (9%) corporate jobs (7%) academia (7%) or state-level groups (5%). Category Count Pct. Lobbying/consulting 22 50% Business/Trade Group (Federal) 4 9% Television 6 14% Law 4 9% Academia 3 7% Corporate 3 7% Business/Trade Group (State) 2 5% Subtotal Federal Influence 26 59% Grand Total 44 100% Sources: Roll Call, Public Citizen research Over the past two decades, concern has been building about members of Congress who flock to lobbying firms or trade groups after retiring or losing their seats. These revolving-door lawmakers cash in on their connections by representing wealthy special interests who can afford to pay top dollar for insider influence. Revolving Congress Public Citizen In the 115th Congress, there have been several notable examples of the revolving door activity, with two of the largest Washington, D.C.

    PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government. You, and Pfizer colleagues across America, definitely made a difference this past year through Pfizer PAC, by supporting candidates for public office who value access and innovation in healthcare. Thank you for your support—this report explains how Pfizer PAC put your generous contributions to use.
