  • Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
    For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been.

The big news this week was Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton’s Super Tuesday victories, bringing them one step closer to the respective Republican and Democratic presidential nominations. We’ll get in to more detail on the Super Tuesday results in a minute, but first, we take a look at commentary on the campaign in general. On Monday – ahead of Super Tuesday – FiveThirtyEight says that if we want to understand what’s ‘roiling’ the 2016 election, then we should pay Oklahoma a visit, given the populist enthusiasm of many of its voters.

Political Animal gives some early thoughts on how such a race might run, writing that Clinton will be more than happy to go after Trump hard, unlike his GOP primary challengers.

  • Governor Decision-Making: Expansion of Medicaid Under the Affordable Care Act
    Governor Decision-making: Expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act By Robin Flagg A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Health Services and Policy Analysis in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ann C. Keller, Chair Professor William H. Dow Professor John Ellwood Professor Paul Pierson Fall 2014 Governor Decision-making: Expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act Copyright 2014 By Robin Flagg Abstract Governor Decision-making: Expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act By Robin Flagg Doctor of Philosophy in Health Services and Policy Analysis University of California, Berkeley Professor Ann C. Keller, Chair This is a study of factors that influence gubernatorial decision making. In particular, I ask why some governors decided to expand Medicaid under the Accountable Care Act (ACA) while others opted against it. Governors, like all chief executives, are subject to cross-pressures that make their jobs challenging. Budgetary pressures may differ from personal ideology and administrative infrastructures may not allow for decisive moves. Add to the equation political pressures – in particular the pressure to align with partisan positions – and a governor is faced with a myriad of opposing and interrelated factors, each requiring attention, when taking a particular position. The calculation required of a governor when deciding upon a salient issue is thus extremely complicated and nuanced. Although interesting in its own right, governor decision making is of additional significance because it may shed light on how the effects of increasing party strength and polarization are playing out at the state level.

  • July 22, 2009 the Honorable Jan
    July 22, 2009 The Honorable Jan Brewer Governor of Arizona The Executive Tower 1700 West Washington Phoenix, Arizona 85007 Re: Request to Amend the Call for Special Session to Address Issues Resulting from SB 1271's Passage Dear Governor Brewer: On behalf of the 43,000 plus members of the Arizona Association of REALTORS®, I appreciate the opportunity to present you with this letter and the accompanying information regarding the above-cited legislation. SB 1271 dramatically alters well settled Arizona law on the relationship between Arizona residential real estate owners and their lenders. The bill has far reaching effects, well beyond those testified to in committee. None of those effects are positive or helpful to restart the Arizona economy. Unfortunately, we did not fully recognize the impacts of the legislation when it was heard as a strike­ everything amendment on June 10 in the Senate Finance Committee. In reading the amendment and listening to testimony, the changes to AR.S. §33-814(G) seemed reasonable at the time. However, after researching the case law and reading the many hundreds of emails sent to us by people who will be personally impacted by SB 1271, the case law is clear and the consequences will be severe. Undoubtedly, those who voted in favor of this legislation could not have known about its far reaching legal and practical impacts. We respectfully request that you amend your Call for Special Session to permit the Arizona Legislature to reconsider these all1CncilTICnts to our laws. Lenders on Arizona residential real estate are entitled to foreclose on a home in a very short amount of time - 90 days from default.

  • The Tea Party, Social Media and the Emergence of Online Politicking 3.0
    The Tea Party, Social Media and the Emergence of Online Politicking 3.0 Vincent Raynauld, School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University André Turcotte, Ph.D., School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University Abstract This paper argues that the Tea Party movement (TPM), which emerged in early 2009 as an influential player in the U.S. political landscape, constitutes a sharp departure from the previously dominant bottom-up political mobilization model. In fact, it can be seen as the manifestation of a new form of politicking (online politicking 3.0) that is hyper decentralization and fragmented in nature. Several social and political movements closely mimicking the Tea Party blueprint have gained varying levels of traction in many national contexts since 2009 such as the U.S.-based Coffee Party movement, the transnational #Occupy movement, the student movement against tuition hikes in the Canadian province of Quebec, and the #idlenomore movement. This paper provides a quantitative content analysis of more than 1.7 million tweets with at least one #teaparty hashtag that were posted on Twitter by 79,564 unique tweeters between early December 2009 and mid-March 2011. The findings suggest that unlike previous populist political mobilization initiatives, the Tea Party movement is a hierarchically decentralized movement fuelled by a diverse range of formal and informal political players with often narrow preferences, interests, and objectives and focusing on a large number of social, political, and economic issues. KEYWORDS: Social media, online politics, Twitter, big data, United States, Populism, Tea Party Paper presented at a joint event of the Canadian Political Science Association and the Canadian Communication Association, June 4-7, 2013, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

  • Community Banks, Credit Unions Will Have Until 2023
    In classic Greek mythology, a golden apple of discord inscribed "For the fairest" was awarded to Aphrodite, beginning a chain of events that led to the Trojan War. GrayRobinson's newsletter reports on the most recent issues, individuals, and discourse deemed fairest in Washington. July 19, 2019 Community banks, credit unions will have until 2023 to comply with CECL The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) voted on Wednesday to postpone the compliance date for its current expected credit loss (CECL) standard to 2023 for small public banks, privately held banks, and credit unions. Large publicly traded banks will still have to comply in 2020. FASB issued new guidance to answer questions that have emerged about the implementation of CECL, and will conduct a series of workshops on CECL around the country. Details of those workshops should be announced “in the coming weeks,” a media release said. “What is Libra?” Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, asked Facebook’s David Marcus to define the proposed digital currency at a marathon hearing on Wednesday. Marcus called Libra “a reserve-backed digital currency,” but said that it should not be regulated as a security, a commodity, or a bank deposit. A second panel of witnesses before the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday afternoon said that Libra would be an exchange-traded fund (ETF) or mutual fund, rather than a true cryptocurrency, and should be regulated that way. Marcus had appeared before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday to explain Facebook’s plans to skeptical legislators; Senator Sherrod Brown, the panel’s ranking member, compared Facebook to “a toddler with a book of matches.” Legislators on both sides of Capitol Hill and both sides of the aisle excoriated Facebook for its history of misusing customer data, as early word circulated about a potential $5 billion Federal Trade Commission (FTC) fine against the company.
