  • U.S. Department of Education Guidance Letter on Job-Driven Training to Tribal Leaders. (PDF)
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Dear Tribal Leader: As you are aware, President Obama is committed to strengthening the nation to nation relationship with Indian tribes as well as strengthening tribal communities in general. In 2009, President Obama issued a Memorandum on Consultation (Memorandum) to agency heads regarding consultation with Indian tribes. Since the President’s memo in 2009, the Administration has worked to ensure regular and meaningful consultation, collaboration, and communication between Indian tribes and the federal government. We believe that the Presidential Memorandum on Job-Driven Training represents an important opportunity for a nation-to-nation consultation and discussion. We would appreciate an opportunity to discuss with you how we can best structure such discussion in late summer or fall and explore how best to pursue the job-driven training theme in pertinent education and training programs in Indian country. As background, we have enclosed an important correspondence that Secretary of Labor Tom Perez, Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, and Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia M. Burwell have sent to Governors across the country. In the 2014 State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama prioritized the need to ensure that job seekers and workers are equipped with the skills to help them advance and that businesses are enabled to hire more skilled workers. Following the Address, the President issued a memorandum on January 30, 2014 and charged Vice President Joe Biden, together with our Departments, to carry out a Government-wide review of Federal job training and education programs to ensure that Federal workforce and training system resources are effectively aligned.

McCarthy is currently the Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation at EPA and has long been involved with environmental policy on the federal, state and local level, as an environmental policy advisor to five governors in her native Massachusetts, as well as holding the position of Commissioner for the Connecticut Environmental Protection Agency. Moniz is currently a professor of physics and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is director of MIT’s Energy Initiative program; he was previously undersecretary of Energy under President Clinton. Moniz has publicly stated his support for an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy, as well as being outspoken for nuclear power, carbon capture and storage research, renewable energy and natural gas production from hydraulic fracturing. Burwell is currently head of the Wal-Mart Foundation, although she had previously worked under President Bill Clinton in the Department of Treasury. Previously, on Feb. 6, 2013, the president nominated REI CEO Sally Jewell to be the new secretary of the Interior. The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources will hold a hearing to confirm Jewell on March 7. Additionally, on March 1, the White House issued its Report to the Congress on the sequestration for fiscal year (FY) 2013.

A Policy Agenda to Develop Human Capital for the Modern Economy 17 ABSTRACT Globalization and technological innovation have intensified the demand for college- educated workers. In 2017, college graduates earned 65% more than non-college- educated workers and were twice as likely to be employed. This proposal recognizes the simultaneous need for more college educated workers and also for a higher level of labor market skill among non-college educated individuals. We propose to invest in the upskilling of the American workplace by better leveraging the potential of the community college sector.

  • Penny Pritzker: a Chicago Fat Cat for Commerce Secretary?
    Penny Pritzker: A Chicago Fat Cat for Commerce Secretary? Will President Obama really nominate billionaire Chicago gal pal Penny Pritzker to head his Commerce Department? “It’s a done deal,” according to a White House source close to the Chicago Tribune. As further confirmation, Pritzker resigned abruptly from the Windy City’s school board late last week. The crony fix seems to be in. Taxpayers, beware. Pritzker is a deep-pocketed doyenne with a family history of dodging taxes — or siphoning them away from the public for her own family’s gargantuan private gain. If you want to see how she’ll oversee a $10 billion government agency, look at her own wealth redistribution record. Most notoriously, Pritzker headed up subprime lender Superior Bank. Even after it went under in 2001 and left 1,400 mostly poor and minority customers destitute, Pritzker was pushing to expand its toxic subprime loan business. As I’ve reported previously, Pritzker and her family escaped accountability by forking over a discounted $460 million settlement over 15 years after the bank collapsed. One of the Obamas’ oldest Chicago friends and an intimate confidante of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Pritzker served as a top national finance chairwoman and bundler for the 2008 presidential campaign. She is an heir to the Hyatt Hotel and Pritzker family fortunes. According to Forbes, her grandfather and his sons also created the industrial conglomerate Marmon Holdings, which the family sold to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway for $4.5 billion. To protect her family’s multibillion-dollar fortune, Pritzker’s enterprises park their money in the very same kind of offshore trusts Obama attacked GOP rival Mitt Romney over.
