  • Response to Insurrection on January 6Th 2021
    Resolution # 70-19 The Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) The Pennsylvania State University of the 70th Assembly February 3, 2021 Be it decided by the Assembly of Elected Delegates, Response to Insurrection on January 6th, 2021 (Decided: [ Y / N / A ]) 1 Nature of the Situation: 2 In considering our responsibility to grapple with the meaning and effects of the January 3 6th insurrection, it is also important to keep in mind Penn State’s identity as Pennsylvania’s 4 land-grant institution—particularly since debate over the certification of the state’s 5 electors became a key tension leading up to and following the Capitol invasion. Eight 6 Pennsylvania Representatives—including a number who are Penn State alumni (Perry, 7 Joyce, Reschenthaler, and Thompson) and/or represent districts home to PSU 8 campuses—ultimately voted to reject the certification of the presidential electors1, fanning 9 the flames of the insurrection and seeking to disrupt a peaceful transition of power. The 10 State Representative for the 33rd district (home to Penn State’s York campus), Doug 11 Mastriano, helped to organize and partially fund a bus trip for constituents to join the “Stop 12 the Steal” rally2, some of whom have been identified as having breached the Capitol. In 13 recent weeks, news has also emerged that Penn State alum Scott Perry (US House 14 Representative for the 10th District, home to the Penn State Dickinson Law campus) 1 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/us/politics/republicans-against-certification.html 2 https://www.inquirer.com/politics/pennsylvania/spl/doug-mastriano-trump-capitol-attack-resignation- investigation-20210108.html 1 played a significant role in persuading ex-President Trump to contest the results of the 2 2020 election and may be facing calls for removal3.

Bishop and Rep. McMorris Rodgers: Executive Committee Henry Beck, ME As we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act David Damschen, UT Tim Eichenberg, NM (ADA), we can be proud of its positive impact on veterans with disabilities, while acknowledging Michael Frerichs, IL that there is much left to do. Dennis Milligan, AR Kelly Mitchell, IN The main purpose of the ADA is to provide people with disabilities equality of opportunity, full Shawn Wooden, CT participation in society, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency. But for more than two Executive Director decades after its passage, economic self-sufficiency was impossible for some. People with Shaun Snyder disabilities who need government benefits in order to live independently were blocked from saving 1201 Pennsylvania Ave, NW money. Without savings, economic self-sufficiency is unattainable. And without being able to Suite 800 fully participate in the economy, the other goals will not be fully realized. Washington, DC 20004 When the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act was passed into law in 2014, many www.NAST.org Americans with disabilities were empowered to save their own money to help pay for their disability expenses without fear of losing federal and state benefits. The Act was a meaningful step forward for people with disabilities. However, it came up short. After more than five years, and on the 30th birthday of the ADA, millions of Americans with disabilities, including veterans, still remain ineligible to open an ABLE account simply because they acquired their disability after they turned 26 years old.

  • BIOGRAPHIES Fiona Ma, California State Treasurer
    BIOGRAPHIES Fiona Ma, California State Treasurer Fiona Ma is California’s 34th State Treasurer. She was elected on November 6, 2018 with more votes (7,825,587) than any other candidate for treasurer in the state's history. She is the first woman of color and the first woman Certified Public Accountant (CPA) elected to the position. The State Treasurer’s Office was created in the California Constitution in 1849. It provides financing for schools, roads, housing, recycling and waste management, hospitals, public facilities, and other crucial infrastructure projects that better the lives of residents. California is the world’s fifth-largest economy and Treasurer Ma is the state’s primary banker. Her office processes more than $2 trillion in payments within a typical year and provides transparency and oversight for an investment portfolio of more than $90 billion, approximately $20 billion of which are local government funds. She also is responsible for $85 billion in outstanding general obligation and lease revenue bonds of the state. The Treasurer works closely with the State Legislature to ensure that its members know the state’s financial condition as they consider new legislation. She gives her own recommendations for the annual budget. Treasurer Ma was a member of the State Assembly from 2006-2012, serving as Speaker pro Tempore from 2010 to 2012. She built a reputation as a solution-oriented public servant and was adept at building unlikely coalitions to overcome California's most complex problems. Prior to serving as Speaker pro Tempore, she was Assembly Majority Whip and built coalitions during a state budget crisis to pass groundbreaking legislation that protected public education and the environment while also expanding access to health care.

  • CA Students Urge Assembly Members to Pass AB
    May 26, 2021 The Honorable Members of the California State Assembly State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Thousands of CA Public School Students Strongly Urge Support for AB 101 Dear Members of the Assembly, We are a coalition of California high school and college students known as Teach Our History California. Made up of the youth organizations Diversify Our Narrative and GENup, we represent 10,000 youth leaders from across the State fighting for change. Our mission is to ensure that students across California high schools have meaningful opportunities to engage with the vast, diverse, and rich histories of people of color; and thus, we are in deep support of AB101 which will require high schools to provide ethnic studies starting in academic year 2025-26 and students to take at least one semester of an A-G approved ethnic studies course to graduate starting in 2029-30. Our original petition made in support of AB331, linked here, was signed by over 26,000 CA students and adult allies in support of passing Ethnic Studies. Please see appended to this letter our letter in support of AB331, which lists the names of all our original petition supporters. We know AB101 has the capacity to have an immense positive impact on student education, but also on student lives as a whole. For many students, our communities continue to be systematically excluded from narratives presented to us in our classrooms. By passing AB101, we can change the precedent of exclusion and allow millions of students to learn the histories of their peoples.

  • State Issues
    Week of January 14, 2019 State Issues Legislative Analyst This week, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) released its overview of Governor Newsom’s budget proposal for FY Report on State 2019-20 that was presented last week, and saw a new leader selected to lead this non-partisan organization. The Budget Legislature appointed a new state Legislative Analyst to fill the role Mac Taylor has held for 10 years. They named Gabriel Petek to the post, who most recently worked for Standard and Poor’s Global Ratings San Francisco Office where he is currently the state’s primary credit analyst. He takes the reins on February 4. In addition to getting a new chief, the LAO released its overview of the Governor’s January budget highlighting that that state’s budget position continues to be strong. They also focus on the fact that the Governor’s proposed budget prioritizes the repayments of state debts and a great deal of one-time funding. Nearly half of the discretionary spending is earmarked to pay down state liabilities, including unfunded retirement liabilities and budget debts. Twenty-five (25) percent of the discretionary spending is for one time or temporary funding proposals, and 15 percent for discretionary reserves. The LAO applauds the Governor’s decision to focus on the repayment of state debts. The LAO points out one thing that many took note of – the Governor has outlined many priorities for budgetary spending. And at least some of the proposals are not fully fleshed out or reflected in the budget document. The LAO was not critical of this but pointed out that these un-finalized proposals give the Legislature the opportunity to weigh in with the Administration and have their say in its development.

During this same time period, I have become increasingly concerned about misinformation being spread to try to discredit a school district’s clear ability to implement masking to protect their students and staff, and the premise of local control being usurped by the threat – implicit or explicit – of political consequences for making sound public health and education decisions.
