Feel free to ask them questions as you look at the exhibits. A project team member is available to take your verbal comments. Please make sure to state your name and address for the record. You may also provide a written comment for the record via the comment form included at the back of your handout. PROJECT HISTORY The Green Light Plan is a comprehensive transportation program to improve roadway infrastructure and citizen safety throughout East Baton Rouge Parish. On October 15, 2005 the citizens of East Baton Rouge Parish voted on and passed an extension of a half-cent sales and use tax dedicated to local street and roadway improvements. The Hooper Road project between Blackwater Bayou and Sullivan Road is included in the Green Light Plan. The goal of the project, located in Central, LA in East Baton Rouge Parish, is to provide two through lanes in each direction and a raised median in order to improve an east- west corridor between Interstate 110, Harding Boulevard, Joor Road and Sullivan Road. PROJECT PURPOSE The purpose of the project is to: Increase the vehicular capacity of Hooper Road Provide pedestrians with access to the roadway Improve traffic flow and overall mobility along the Hooper Road east-west corridor NEED FOR THE PROJECT There are several well-documented reasons why the Hooper Road project is necessary, including the need for capacity improvements to relieve traffic congestion, an improved level of service based on these current and future capacity needs, and to improve a key corridor while enhancing traffic flow across East Baton Rouge Parish. Capacity Improvements Congestion Relief: According to traffic counts collected in January 2013, the existing two lane bi- directional roadway carries 14,800 vehicles per day.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

  • Weekend Voting in Lousiana Adds Three More Republican Victories in Congress – Lame Duck Session Continues
    WEEKEND VOTING IN LOUSIANA ADDS THREE MORE REPUBLICAN VICTORIES IN CONGRESS – LAME DUCK SESSION CONTINUES DECEMBER 8, 2014 With the results of the final Senate election of 2014 now official, there will be further changes ahead for the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources in the 114th Congress. Due to the re-election loss of Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) on Saturday, December 6th, Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) will become Ranking Member of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee in the new Congress. Louisiana Senator-elect, current Congressman Bill Cassidy (R), has received a commitment that he will be able to serve on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee next year. In related developments, Senator David Vitter (R-LA) will chair the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee in January. The Senate composition for the 114th Congress now stands at 54 Republicans, 44 Democrats and 2 Independents. We continue to expect Senate committee leadership rosters and committee membership to be officially announced in January. Saturday’s run-off elections in Louisiana also resulted in two additional Republican victories in the House of Representatives. Congressman-elect Garrett Graves (6th District) won the seat vacated by Senator- elect Cassidy, and Congressman-elect Ralph Abraham (5th District) won the seat currently held by Congressman Vance McAllister (R). Congressman-elect Graves is expected to serve on the Natural Resources Committee and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Congressman-elect Abraham is expected to serve on the Agriculture Committee and the Veterans Affairs Committee. The House composition for the 114th Congress stands at 246 Republicans and 188 Democrats, with one election still contested (AZ-2nd).

  • 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.

  • Regents Recap Highlights of the Activities and Official Actions of the Louisiana Board of Regents February 28, 2005
    Regents Recap Highlights of the Activities and Official Actions of the Louisiana Board of Regents February 28, 2005 Louisiana College Student Leaders Attend Presidential Inauguration Louisiana was well represented at last month’s presidential inauguration in Washington. Among other distinguished Louisiana attendees who braved the cold to witness the historical event were twenty members of the Louisiana Council of Student Body Presidents (COSBP). The group took advantage of the opportunity to visit several members of Louisiana’s congressional delegation as well. COSBP is a statewide organization of Louisiana public college and university Student Government Association and Student Bar Association presidents aimed at helping ensure that Louisiana’s colleges and universities remain responsive to the needs of students and that student opportunity for academic and career success is optimized. “It was an honor to represent Louisiana and our respective institutions in Washington, and to see first-hand the president and vice president of the United States sworn into office,” said Kimberly Ludwig, Louisiana Tech SGA president and statewide COSBP chair. “We all felt very privileged and thankful to all the members of the Louisiana legislative delegation who made our trip possible.” Ludwig also serves as the student board member on the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors. On the day before the inauguration, the group enjoyed visits with Louisiana’s two U.S. Senators, Mary Landrieu and David Vitter, and with Louisiana Congressmen Rodney Alexander, Richard Baker, Charles Boustany, Bobby Jindal, and Jim McCrery. “The trip was a great civics and history lesson,” said Katie Ortego, SGA President at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
