The General Election on November 6Th Represents a Pivotal Point for the Future of Our Country on a Number of Important Issues Voters Guide The general election on November 6th represents a pivotal point for the future of our country on a number of important issues. Many of our national priorities and policies will be established with the outcome of this election, with one of particular importance to us all — will governments provide a reasonable regulatory environment and level playing field for the continued production and utilization of coal and natural gas?

  • West Virginians Urge Sen. Manchin to Support Confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court of the United States
    West Virginians Urge Sen. Manchin to Support Confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court of the United States July 26, 2018 Dear Senator Manchin: On behalf of thousands of West Virginians who deeply value our nation’s Constitution, the undersigned organizations and officials write to urge your support for the swift confirmation of President Trump’s outstanding nominee to the United States Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination is the second time in recent years that Americans have had the historic opportunity to add a defender of the Constitution to the Supreme Court. Recent polling shows a large majority of West Virginians support President Trump’s selection and want him confirmed. We are pleased you share their key criteria for supporting Judge Kavanaugh – whether he will follow, “the rule of law and the Constitution.” He has a proven track record of doing so. We are also pleased that you have listened to West Virginians and broken with your partisan leaders in the Senate by agreeing to meet with Judge Kavanaugh. However, we—along with many concerned Mountaineers—consider any effort to obstruct this highly qualified nominee from being confirmed as a threat to deny West Virginians, and every American, an exemplary jurist in the mold of Justice Neil Gorsuch, whom you voted to confirm. Hanging your support on how a judicial nominee would rule on any case which may come before the Court is inappropriate. Such politically-motivated rhetoric not only distorts the Court’s role, but undermines the consideration of fundamental principles. The role of the Supreme Court is to interpret the law, not make policy.

    Volume 96, Number 2 October 2012 www.asce-pgh.org Pensylvania Kicks the Can Down the Road “So tell me what you want, what you really, really want.” 1997. What were you doing in 1997? How old were your kids? What car did you drive? Bob Carlisle’s “Butterfly Kisses” was the #12 hit. The Spice Girls had 3 top hits in 1997. Basic Cable TV was $29.52 per month. A postage stamp was 29¢. Republican Tom Ridge was Governor. Three Rivers Stadium existed. 1997 Construction Cost Index: 5825. August, 2012 CCI was 9351, up 60%. The PA Liquid Fuel tax, to maintain our roads, was 12¢ per gallon. It still is. In 2012, the Oil Franchise Tax also remains at 19.2¢ per gallon. In 2012, 17% of Pennsylvania bridges are structurally deficient, and 800 must be replaced, and all average over 50 years old. About 20% of the workers in the Pennsylvania Construction industry are unemployed, with 3,300 less in August. In 1997 the Pennsylvania unemployment rate was about 5.1%. After the inflation adjustment to the tax, the rate declined to about 4.2%. In August, 2012 it was 8.1%. Following a nearly decade-long effort in crafting and advocating legislation designed to explore and create public-private partnerships (P3) in transportation, this summer Gov. Tom Corbett signed House Bill 3 into law, making it Act 88 of 2012. It funded nothing. 1997 Governor Tom Ridge “This act opens a new chapter in the way Pennsylvania can fund projects designed to repair and replace our structurally deficient roads and bridges with the cooperation, financial resources and efficiencies of the private sector.” Retiring Rep.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.
