  • Federal Charters for Insurers
    PIA National opposes federal charters and the dual regulatory system they would require. Issue-at-a-glance: Federal charters for insurers. PROFESSIONAL • PIA opposes a federal-chartering system for insurers, even an optional one. INSURANCE • PIA is working for continuing reform of functional state regulation through creation and AGENTS adoption of federal standards. • PIA supports the “road map” approach as proposed by Rep. Michael Oxley (R-Oh.) as the basis for legislation in the House. • Creating a conflicting, competing federal-state insurance regulatory system is unneeded and 25 CHAMBERLAIN ST. counter-productive to effective oversight of the insurance industry.

On March 14, 2004, Michael Oxley (R-Oh.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee presented a “road map to state-based insurance regulatory reform” to state insurance regulators. Oxley ruled out optional federal chartering or any type of dual insurance regulatory system, but said new federal regulations to create greater uniformity among state-level insurance marketplaces are necessary. Oxley outlined the plan in an address to the NAIC’s spring meeting. His plan would set up a Federal-State Advisory Council to coordinate future discussions over insurance tax policy and uniformity. He said the goal would be to build on the work already done by the NAIC to create a more uniform, efficient and market-based insurance regulatory system.

  • 1994 Retrospective
    THE PLAIN DEALER . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1999 5-G OURCENTURY 1994 ATA GLANCE Schools’ independence bid fails again It looked as though the school board might regain control of Cleveland schools for the first time since 1978. U.S. District Judge Frank Battisti modified his desegregation “re- medial order.” If the board carried out Super- intendent Sammie Campbell Parrish’s “Vision 21” plan, he said, the system could be self- governing by 2000. Voters had defeated a 12.9-mill levy, putting in doubt the system’s ability to complete the plan. Battisti ordered the state to contribute $295 million over six years. In October, Battisti unexpectedly died at the age of 72. In a eulogy, the Rev. Thomas Acker said of the judge, “He suffered willingly the arrows of public fury, a martyrdom in pursuit of justice for children.” In November, voters again defeated the school levy, despite a $400,000 campaign to pass it. In December, a consultant reported that 60 of the district’s 127 school buildings needed major repairs and 12 needed to be re- placed. Dwayne Gardner of Planning Associ- ates said many buildings were “literally fall- ing apart.”A $60 million bond issue passed in 1987 had been mismanaged, he said. As the year ended, the hopes for indepen- dence had faded. Officials feared a new judge would turn control over to the state. • The temperature dropped to 20 below the night of Jan. 18. That was one degree colder than Jan. 24, 1963, the old record. Six deaths in Greater Cleveland and nine others in Ohio were blamed on the cold.

  • Buying Influence, Selling Death
    BuyingBuying Influence,Influence, SellingSelling DeathDeath Campaign Contributions By Tobacco Interests Quarterly Report: October 2004 Campaign Contributions By Tobacco Interests Quarterly Report: October 2004 These quarterly reports provide regular, detailed updates of the tobacco industry's campaign contributions to sitting members of Congress, candidates for federal office, political parties, leadership PACs and other political action committees. Each issue also provides additional information on the tobacco companies' political influence, including analyses of the correlation between these contributions and the tobacco-related legislation that members of the U.S. Congress support. Quarterly Highlights • So far in the 2003-2004 election cycle1, the tobacco industry has given nearly $2.8 million in PAC contributions to federal candidates, political parties and other political action committees. Since 1997, tobacco interests have given more than $28.7 million in political donations to federal candidates, national parties and non-party political action committees. • In the 2003-2004 election cycle to date, tobacco company PACs have donated more than $1.4 million directly to federal candidates.2 Overall, 74 percent of the tobacco PAC contributions went to Republican candidates. In the 2001-2002 election cycle, these PACs donated $2.4 million directly to federal candidates, with 77 percent ($1.8 million) of the total donations going to Republican candidates. • Tobacco PACs have also donated nearly $1.3 million to non-candidate committees so far in the 2003-2004 election cycle. Donations to non-candidate committees include nearly $467,000 to Democratic and Republican party committees, $758,500 to leadership PACs established by individual members of Congress and more than $74,000 to other non-party committees (including PACs associated with a particular issue, industry or ideology).
