CHAPTER 3 Networks on the Ground
CHAPTER 3 Networks on the Ground “There’s only one way to hold a district: you must study human nature and act accordin’. You can’t study human nature in books. Books is a hindrance more than anything else. If you have been to college, so much the worse for you. You’ll have to unlearn all you learned before you can get right down to human nature, and unlearnin’ takes a lot of time. Some men can never forget what they learned at college...To learn real human nature you have to go among the people, see them and be seen.” – George W. Plunkitt1 3.1 Parties on the Ground If one accepts this more di↵use definition of political parties, we should forgive an initial sense of pessimism or despondency toward our ability to study their behavior in a systematic fashion. The diversity of potential actors – from party organizations, to activist networks; from interest groups, to old-fashioned machines – multiplies both the potential environments and potential resources available for electoral intervention. And worse yet, the actions of these extended party networks are often purposefully kept from the public eye. The choice to recruit candidates for office, pressure others out of a contest, or expend resources in support of particular campaigns are at best highly sensitive decisions and at worst skirt the borders of legality.2 Moreover, the individual state primary and nomination contests are scattered over 1Riordan, William. 1905. Plunkitt of Tammany Hall. The Project Gutenberg. 2For example, the same union officials central to the coming example in Pennsylvania’s 13th district are currently under a FBI investigation covering “virtually every aspect of the union’s operations, as well as [the union leader’s] personal finances” (Phillips and Fazlollah 2017). -

The Dismantling of an Urban School System: Detroit, 1980-2014
The Dismantling of an Urban School System: Detroit, 1980-2014 by Leanne Kang A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Educational Studies) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Jeffrey E. Mirel, Co-Chair Associate Professor Robert B. Bain, Co-Chair Professor Vincent L. Hutchings Associate Professor Vilma M. Mesa Assistant Professor Angeline Spain © Leanne Kang 2015 DEDICATION To my former students. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation was possible due in large part to my adviser, Jeffrey Mirel and his seminal study of the Detroit Public Schools (1907-81). Inspired by The Rise and Fall of an Urban School System—which I title my dissertation after—I decided early in my graduate work to investigate what happened to Detroit’s school system after 1980. Thanks to Jeff’s mentorship, I quickly found a research topic that was deeply meaningful and interesting to the very end. He and his wife, Barbara Mirel, are also patrons of my husband’s music. Jeff was the adviser every graduate student hopes to have. The completion of this dissertation would not have been possible without Bob Bain courageously jumping into the middle of a project. I was so fortunate; Bob is one of the smartest people I have ever met. He modeled a way of thinking that I will take with me for the rest of my career. His feedback on every draft was incredibly insightful—sometimes groundbreaking— helping me see where to go next in the jungle of data and theory. And always, Bob believed in me and this project. -

Michigan Register Issue No. 1 – 2020 (Published February 1, 2020) GRAPHIC IMAGES IN THE MICHIGAN REGISTER COVER DRAWING Michigan State Capitol: This image, with flags flying to indicate that both chambers of the legislature are in session, may have originated as an etching based on a drawing or a photograph. The artist is unknown. The drawing predates the placement of the statue of Austin T. Blair on the capitol grounds in 1898. (Michigan State Archives) PAGE GRAPHICS Capitol Dome: The architectural rendering of the Michigan State Capitol’s dome is the work of Elijah E. Myers, the building’s renowned architect. Myers inked the rendering on linen in late 1871 or early 1872. Myers’ fine draftsmanship, the hallmark of his work, is clearly evident. Because of their size, few architectural renderings of the 19th century have survived. Michigan is fortunate that many of Myers’ designs for the Capitol were found in the building’s attic in the 1950’s. As part of the state’s 1987 sesquicentennial celebration, they were conserved and deposited in the Michigan State Archives. (Michigan State Archives) East Elevation of the Michigan State Capitol: When Myers’ drawings were discovered in the 1950’s, this view of the Capitol – the one most familiar to Michigan citizens – was missing. During the building’s recent restoration (1989-1992), this drawing was commissioned to recreate the architect’s original rendering of the east (front) elevation.

CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE February 7, 2020
MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE February 7, 2020 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 3, 2020 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results WHITMER PROPOSES 2020-21 BUDGET No new taxes, Increased School Funding Governor Gretchen Whitmer proposed a $61.9 billion 2020-21 fiscal year budget on Thursday that requires no new taxes, and includes increases for education, universities and colleges, environmental cleanup and families. It also proposes keeping a portion of the Pure Michigan Campaign. The proposal, her second since she has been in office, is 3.9 percent more than the current year’s budget, and was lauded for its simpler recommendations. This was a switch from last year when she proposed a jarring 45-cents per gallon fuel tax increase to fix the state’s roads and took major issue with Republican spending priorities. In addition, this year’s proposal only requires eight non-budget bills to be enacted, compared to 24 last year. "Ultimately I do need a Legislature that is going to work with me on these things," Whitmer said. "I remain hopeful that maybe this is the year that we find some common ground, and if that's the case we can always do supplementals to make adjustments to a budget, but I don't tilt at windmills. I am realistic. I put a solution on the table last year. I'm moving forward, and I'm delivering on a lot of these fundamentals that I think are important for Michigan that I ran on and I know the people of Michigan care about." Education Whitmer proposed a 2.8%, or $290 million increase to per pupil foundation allowance for school districts, bringing the minimum per-pupil funding to $8,336, with lowest-funded districts seeing an increase of $225 per pupil, and highest-funded districts an increase of $150 per pupil.
