Biden and the Parties (0:15 – 38:20) KRISTOL: Hi, welcome back to CONVERSATIONS. I’m Bill Kristol. I’m very pleased to be joined today by James Carville, who I’ve known for quite a while, who I first met I think in 1991, ’92, when he clobbered us, helping to run, really running the Bill Clinton campaign. I was there in the George H.W. Bush White House and re-election effort. But we’ve debated many times. We’ve been on the same side more recently. But most importantly for this purpose I think, James is one of the most astute analysts, not just practitioners, not just partisans, but analysts of American politics. I really want to get his thoughts as we speak — in, what, early April of 2021 —on where we stand, the Biden administration, the Democratic party, what are the prospects for the short term, and also medium term for the Democratic party, but also democracy in America, and so forth. James, thanks for being with me. CARVILLE: Good. Good. Fun to be here. KRISTOL: Where are we? You were very strongly engaged in the fight against Donald Trump. But then a little disappointed maybe by, I mean, happy that Biden won, worried about the closeness of the election and the down-ballot stuff? Where does the Democratic party stand? You’ve been involved in it for a long time.

  • DOA Response to OLS Questions
    Department of Agriculture FY 2016-2017 Discussion Points 1. In 2014, the constitutional dedication of a portion of the Corporation Business Tax revenue to farmland preservation and open space acquisition established a stable source of funding for those programs. However, the money from the constitutional dedication has yet to be allocated. Question: Did the remaining funding from the Garden State Preservation Trust funds and the 2007 and 2009 bond acts sustain farmland preservation efforts in 2015 and into 2016? Did the department or the State Agriculture Development Committee (SADC) secure additional sources of funding from local governments, federal programs, and NGOs? If so, how much was secured from each source? Answer: The SADC’s farmland preservation effort was funded from three sources: Garden State Preservation Trust (GSPT) funds and the 2007 and 2009 Farmland Preservation bond funds. The SADC administers four farmland preservation programs: State Acquisition, County Grant, Municipal Grant and Nonprofit Grant. In FY2015, SADC preserved 7,534 acres on 95 farms through its four programs for a total cost of $49.9 million. State funding of $34.4 million came from: GSPT fund ($6.4 million), 2007 bond fund ($3.5 million) and 2009 bond fund ($24.5 million). State funds were matched by: County/municipal funds ($12.4 million) and Federal ($3.1 million) funds. In FY 2016, SADC currently projects that it will between 7,000 and 8,000 acres on 99 farms through its four programs for a total cost of $54.3 million. State funding of $34.6 million associated with existing projects is expected from: GSPT fund ($6.5 million), 2007 bond fund ($2.2 million) and 2009 bond fund ($25.9 million).
