  • An Ambitious New Plan Offers Delta Water and Economic Hope for the San Joaquin Valley
    August 12, 2020 Western Edition Volume 2, Number 30 An ambitious new plan offers Delta water and economic hope for the San Joaquin valley The San Joaquin Valley is bracing for the economic impacts to come from implementing the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act over the next 20 years. Without changes, the regulation could lead to more than a million acres of fallowing and as much as $7 billion in lost revenues every year, with the worst financial impacts rippling down to California’s most disadvantaged communities, according to a report released earlier this year. With this reality, a coalition has emerged around a complex and ambitious approach to bring water to the valley, one that could head off the A new plan takes a different approach to Delta water flows.

As a former IOP Director (1995-1998), I jumped at the chance to return to such a special place at an important time. This summer, IOP Director Dan Glickman, Harvard students, and IOP staff went into high gear to mobilize, inspire, and engage young people in politics and the electoral process. • We hosted events for political powerbrokers during the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. • We are working to ensure all Harvard voices are heard at the polls through our dynamic and effective H-VOTE campus vote pro- gram, as well as coordinating the voter education and mobilization activities of nearly 20 other schools across America, part of our National Campaign for Political and Civic Engagement. • Our Resident Fellows this semester are an impressive group. They bring experiences from media, to managing campaigns, to the Middle East. See inside for more information on our exciting fellows. • A survey we conducted with The Chronicle of Higher Education found that most of America’s college campuses are politically active, but 33% of schools fail to meet federal requirements facili- tating voter registration opportunities for students.

  • Decidedly Co-Equal: the New Jersey Supreme Court
    1 DECIDEDLY CO-EQUAL: THE NEW JERSEY SUPREME COURT G. Alan Tarr and Robert F. Williams At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the New Jersey Supreme Court enjoys a stature and an independence that are the envy of most other state supreme courts. Commentators regularly rank the New Jersey Supreme Court as one of the nation's leading courts--indeed, one commentator in the mid-1980s described it as "the most innovative [court] in the country"1Band other state supreme courts look for guidance to the Court's pioneering rulings. These rulings have placed it in the center of--and frequently in the forefront of--a wide array of controversial issues. The New Jersey Court's rulings have reformed the state's system of school finance, prompting the enactment of a state income tax, and opened up New Jersey's suburbs to low-income housing. Other rulings have safeguarded abortion rights, outlawed surrogate motherhood, restricted the use of the death penalty, and transformed the rights of injured parties seeking to collect damages. When other state supreme courts have taken an activist stance, they have often encountered opposition in the form of constitutional amendments designed to overturn their rulings and campaigns for removing or replacing justices. In New Jersey, in contrast, the Court's rulings have not led to serious political repercussions. No governor has refused to reappoint sitting justices because of disagreements with their decisions, and even the Court's most controversial rulings have not been overturned by constitutional amendment. What has led the New Jersey Supreme Court to play such an aggressive role in the political life of the state? And what has insulated the Court from political attack? To answer these questions, one must look back to the origins of a modern court system in New Jersey.
