More than a year after Corneast and General Electric announced their intentions, and after nearly 11 months ofdetailed review, we understand that the draft order concludes that, based on all the filings, the joint venture will promote competition, investment, localism, diversity and innovation, and is in the public interest. Accordingly, we encourage you and your fellow Commissioners to complete your agency's review without further delay, and we hope this review would result in a bipartisan outcomc. No onc can question the extensive and comprehensive examination this transaction has received. In addition to six Congressional hearings, the FCC's rcgulatory process has provided unprccedented opportunities for public participation. As the Commission itself has noted. the Comcast· BCU transaction had the lengthiest formal pleading cycle that it has ever set for any similar transaction. Every stakeholder has had every opportunity to be heard. Any further delay in your agency's review process, and any further efforts to laden the transaction with formal regulatory requirements, could undermine much needed jobs and investment. We appreciate your prompt action to complete your geney's review Sincerely, ({)Ql-fki Charles W. Dent c Member ofCongress ongr. 5S cc: Commissioner Michael J. Copps Commissioner Robert M.

  • Fact Sheet: the House Health Repeal Bill's Impact on Pennsylvania
    Fact Sheet: The House Health Repeal Bill’s Impact on Pennsylvania A year ago, a majority of the House of Representatives, including Representatives Mike Kelly, Scott Perry, Glenn Thompson, ​ ​ Bill Shuster, Tom Marino, Lou Barletta, Keith Rothfus, Lloyd Smucker, and Tim Murphy, voted for and passed the so-called “American Health Care Act,” or AHCA, a health repeal bill that would have cut coverage, increased costs, and eliminated protections for hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians. The bill would have imposed an “age tax,” letting insurers charge people over 50 five times more for coverage, and put the health of one in five Americans on Medicaid in jeopardy, including seniors, children, and people with disabilities. While Pennsylvanians would have lost out, the wealthy and insurance and drug companies would have gotten $600 billion in new tax breaks. AHCA Meant Pennsylvanians Would Have Lost Coverage 777,000 Pennsylvanians Would Have Lost Coverage. In 2026, 777,000 Pennsylvanians would have lost coverage under ​ ​ ​ this bill. 371,800 With Medicaid Would Have Lost Coverage. Under the American Health Care Act, 371,800 Pennsylvanians with ​ Medicaid would have lost their coverage. ​ ​ 10,800 Veterans in Pennsylvania Would Have Lost Coverage. Under the American Health Care Act, 10,800 veterans in ​ Pennsylvania would have lost their Medicaid coverage. ​ ​ AHCA Meant Pennsylvanians Would Have Paid Higher Costs, Especially Older Pennsylvanians Raise Premiums By Double Digits. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that a key part of the American ​ Health Care Act, repealing the requirement that most people have health insurance, will premiums 10 percent next year. ​ ​ Though the AHCA never became law, Congressional Republicans managed to enact these changes through the GOP tax bill.

DEMOCRATS TAKE TOP OFFICES In addition to winning the state for Barack Obama, Pennsylvania Democrats carried the day in the other top races. Senator Bob Casey, Jr. won with 53.6% over Tom Smith (44.7%). Kathleen Kane triumphed over David Freed 56.1% to 41.6% in the race for Attorney General. A Democrat has never held the office of Attorney General. State Treasurer Rob McCord won re-election 52.5% to 44% over Diana Irey Vaughan. The closest race pitted two incumbent House members against each other but ultimately Democrat Eugene DePasquale from York overpowered Republican John Maher (Allegheny/Washington) 49.7% to 46.5%. In this race, the Libertarian candidate Betsy Elizabeth Summers drew 3.8% of the vote, potentially enough to swing the decision. REPUBLICAN CONSOLATION PRIZE: The PA Congressional Delegation In one of the hottest races nationally, Republican Keith Rothfus took incumbent Mark Critz’ western and southwestern PA congressional seat with 51.5% of the vote.

  • 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.
