BALDOR Associated Press GREEN VILLAGE MILITARY OUT- POST — U.S. troops at military outposts in eastern Syria asked variations of the same question to their top commander Saturday: What is our future here? What are the goals we need to think about? Gen. Frank McKenzie, the U.S Middle East commander, knows the future is not certain. But at least for today, he said, “this is an area where we made a commitment. I think we’re going to be here for a while.” In an unannounced tour of five military bases in Syria stretch- ing from the north- eastern part of the country to the Middle Euphrates River Val- McKenzie ley, McKenzie offered reassurances that the U.S. remains committed to its mission in Syria.

Representative Peter Svarzbein was in Brooksville, Pennsylvania; that’s where the refurbished streetcar was prepped and loaded for the journey back to the borderland. After all the chains were attached, streetcar #1506 was out of the factory. Svarzbein did not say when it’s expected to arrive. Oklahoma City KWTV March 13, 2018 LINK: http://bit.ly/2FO4zaA In today’s Oklahoma City business report, another step forward for the streetcar project in downtown Oklahoma City. Yesterday another one of the seven total streetcars was delivered to the Metro. After the delivery of the Clear Sky Blue car, the Redbud car went for a short test run. EMBARK says so far things are going smoothly. Things are working as expected, and so we’re just continuing to learn ourselves, because this is the first time we’ve had rail vehicle on city streets in more than half a century. Each of these cars will go through extensive test runs before any passengers get on board.

    Who Runs Our Cities? The Political Gender Gap in the Top 100 U.S. Cities SEPTEMBER 2016 This report is authored by the staff of the CUNY Institute for State and Local Governance: Jocelyn Drummond, Qian Zhang, and Victoria Lawson ABOUT THE CUNY INSTITUTE FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNANCE The CUNY Institute for State and Local Governance’s mission is to bridge the gap between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers using data and research to help government produce better results, worthy of public investment and trust. Our expertise includes data analysis for a wide array of purposes—including cost-benefit analysis, performance evaluation, and the development of performance indicators—and fiscal management for both short- and long-term planning. ABOUT THE EQUALITY INDICATORS The Equality Indicators measure progress toward achieving greater equality in New York City and other cities in the United States and internationally. This report was made possible by the generous support of the Rockefeller Foundation. We are indebted to Besiki Kutateladze, former ISLG Research Director, for his ideas and guidance.

  • Covid-19 (Coronavirus) Mandates and Precautions for Alcohol Industry Licensees
    COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) MANDATES AND PRECAUTIONS FOR ALCOHOL INDUSTRY LICENSEES Current as of 3:30 P.M. EDT, March 17, 2020 COVID-19 (coronavirus) continues to invade nations, societies and industries at an alarming rate. As the pandemic spreads, lawmakers and business leaders are working to address the disease’s consequences – quarantined populations, disrupted supply chains and a consumer population under increasing pressure to conform to “social distancing” and stay home. The consequences of COVID-19 are especially hard on America’s hospitality industry generally, and the on-premises segment of the industry in particular. Public venues such as Walt Disney World and Universal Studios have closed their theme parks. Professional sports leagues such as the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League have suspended their seasons. Key data points for the dine-in restaurant trade already reflect alarming downward trends. GAUGING THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON AMERICA’S ALCOHOL INDUSTRY The impact of COVID-19 on the commercialization of alcohol beverages, as with almost all aspects of alcohol regulation in America, varies from state to state. In a growing number of states, the government has ordered mandatory closings for bars, restaurants, nightclubs, theaters, arenas and similar venues. But in other states, the restrictions are limited to the number of patrons permitted on the premises at one time. And in a few states, the government has decided to impose no restrictions at all, relying instead on suggested guidance regarding social distancing and taking a wait-and-see attitude. GrayRobinson’s Nationwide Alcohol Industry Team prepared this analysis to inform industry members regarding the current status of COVID-19 restrictions on alcohol commerce, and to offer alcohol regulators the opportunity to compare and contrast the positions – and often creative solutions – developed by states to address the pandemic’s challenges.
