  • Report of the Western Water Policy Review Advisory Commission
    Waterinthe West: Challengefor theNextCentury June1998 Reportofthe WesternWater PolicyReview AdvisoryCommission FOREWORD I am pleased to transmit the final report of the Western Water Policy Review Advisory Commission. We were fortunate in having a dedicated staff, whose names are listed here, who carried this process through on a tight schedule. The work of this Commission also demanded much from the citizen commission members and the Congressional and agency staff members. Thanks are due to the commission members who devoted themselves to serving our government by attending meetings and reviewing reams of reports and drafts. Additionally, we deeply appreciate the contributions made to the Commission report by writers and researchers. The members of the public who took time to attend meetings, prepare testimony, and review drafts have enriched this report and have also shown that the West is capable of robust, yet respectful dialogue. This dialogue, which we hope our report will further, is where the future will be shaped. This report provides a good overview of the status of the West's water and of the pressures that require change in our water management practices. Foremost is that the West is a magnet for population growth; a transformative fact that has affected every aspect of western life. Water policies have already begun to change in response to growth and the changing economy, but more needs to be done. We need to consider how to keep agriculture productive, while acknowledging that healthy riparian and aquatic ecosystems are also critical to the long term sustainability of the West. Growing cities need water, but water marketing makes many westerners uneasy.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. —19th Amendment to the United States Constitution In 1920, after decades of tireless activism by countless determined suffragists, American women were finally guaranteed the right to vote. The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. It was ratified by the states on August 18, 1920 and certified as an amendment to the US Constitution on August 26, 1920. Developed in partnership with the National Park Service, this publication weaves together multiple stories about the quest for women’s suffrage across the country, including those who opposed it, the role of allies and other civil rights movements, who was left behind, and how the battle differed in communities across the United States.

He need not knock; we have been colleagues and friends for decades. He will be animated as he enters and probably a little rumpled in a tweed jacket, looking every bit the Welshman he is. He might have mismatched socks if Andrea did not inspect his wardrobe before he left for work this morning. His face, complete with gray hair and beard, calls for a pipe, the pipe he gave up smoking many years before.

    Ohio House State and Local Government Committee The Honorable Scott Wiggam, Chairman Proponent Testimony on Senate Bill 30 Megan Wood, Ohio History Connection Director of Cultural Resources March 27, 2019 Chairman Wiggam and members of the Senate Government Oversight and Reform Committee: My name is Megan Wood and I am here on behalf of the Ohio History Connection in support of Senate Bill 30, co-sponsored by Senators Kunze and Williams. I would like to provide some context on the suffrage movement in Ohio and the efforts by organizations across the state to prepare to celebrate this centennial and ensure inclusivity. From the first days of the movement, long before 1848 and the Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention, Ohio and Ohioans led the nation in campaigning for equal rights and opportunities for women: 1828 Frances Wright becomes the first woman in the United States to speak in public, launching what would become an international speaking career in the Hamilton County (Ohio) courthouse. An abolitionist and woman's rights activist dubbed "The Red Harlot of Infidelity," Wright persisted despite harsh criticism and threats of physical violence. 1848 Less than 2 months after his participation in the Seneca Falls Convention, Frederick Douglass led the National Convention of Black Freemen in Cleveland, Ohio, which became the very first national convention to permit participation by women when a "Mrs. Sanford" was allowed to address the participants. 1850 Activists, including Betsy Mix Cowles, in Salem, Ohio host the Ohio Women's Convention, the first convention to be run and organized entirely by women. 1851 Sojourner Truth delivers her "Ain't I a Woman?" speech at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron.
