  • 1 Reflections on Fairness and Housing in the Omaha- Council Bluffs Region
    183 “MIRROR, MIRROR, ON THE WALL . .”:1 REFLECTIONS ON FAIRNESS AND HOUSING IN THE OMAHA- COUNCIL BLUFFS REGION PALMA JOY STRAND† “It wasn’t African Americans moving in that caused housing values to go down in . neighborhoods, it was whites leaving.” –Race: The Power of an Illusion2 “In some cities, kids living just blocks apart lead incredibly different lives. They go to different schools, play in different parks, shop in different stores, and walk down different streets. And often, the quality of those schools and the safety of those parks and streets are far from equal – which means those kids aren’t getting an equal shot in life. That runs against the values we hold dear as Americans. In this country, of all countries, a person’s zip code shouldn’t decide their destiny. We don’t guarantee equal outcomes, but we do strive to guarantee an equal shot at op- portunity – in every neighborhood, for every American.” —Barack Obama3 1.

  • Banking Hearing February 09, 2015
    Transcript Prepared By the Clerk of the Legislature Transcriber's Office Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee February 09, 2015 [LB342 LB456 LB531 LB632] The Committee on Banking, Commerce and Insurance met at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, February 9, 2015, in Room 1507 of the State Capitol, Lincoln, Nebraska, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing on LB342 LB456, LB531, and LB632. Senators present: Jim Scheer, Chairperson; Matt Williams, Vice Chairperson; Kathy Campbell; Joni Craighead; Mike Gloor; Sara Howard; Brett Lindstrom; and Paul Schumacher. Senators absent: None. SENATOR SCHEER: Welcome, and it's a little past the appointed time, so we will start the committee hearing. My name is Jim Scheer, I'm from Norfolk and I represent the 19th District and I serve as the Chair of the Banking, Commerce, and Insurance Committee this year. The committee will take up the bills somewhat in the order as presented. Senator Howard is running a bit late and so, consequently, we will move to the next bill which is Senator Gloor's bill, (LB)456. And if Senator Howard comes in during that point in time, we will do hers next, otherwise we will follow the schedule, other than Senator Howard's bill and we'll put hers in whenever she gets here. The committee members might be coming and going during the committee hearing. We have to introduce bills in other committees and sometimes we're called away. It's not an indication that we are not interested in the bill being heard at the time, it's just part of our process that we have to do.

All of the information in this report was provided by the reporting entity itself. Final responses were only altered for formatting purposes and were not substantively changed. If a response substantively differs from the original response provided by the entity, which is on file with the Clerk of the Committee in an unaltered form, the changes were only made with the consultation and consent of the entity itself.

Incoming letter dated January 27, 2017 Dear Mr. Gumbs: This is in response to your letter dated January 27, 2017 concerning the shareholder proposal submitted to UnitedHealth by David Ridenour. Copies of all of the correspondence on which this response is based will be made available on our website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/cf-noaction/14a-8.shtml. For your reference, a brief discussion of the Division’s informal procedures regarding shareholder proposals is also available at the same website address. Sincerely, Matt S. McNair Senior Special Counsel Enclosure cc: David Ridenour ***FISMA & OMB MEMORANDM M-07-16*** February 14, 2017 Response of the Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance Re: UnitedHealth Group, Inc. Incoming letter dated January 27, 2017 The proposal relates to a report. There appears to be some basis for your view that UnitedHealth may exclude the proposal under rule 14a-8(f). We note that the proponent appears not to have responded to UnitedHealth’s request for documentary support indicating that the proponent has satisfied the minimum ownership requirement for the one-year period required by rule 14a-8(b). Accordingly, we will not recommend enforcement action to the Commission if UnitedHealth omits the proposal from its proxy materials in reliance on rules 14a-8(b) and 14a-8(f). In reaching this position, we have not found it necessary to address the alternative bases for omission upon which

  • Nebraska Legislature: How They Voted for the Early Advantage of Children in the 105Th Legislature 2Nd Session 2018 Dear Nebraska Friends and Colleagues, August 2018
    Nebraska Legislature: How they Voted for the Early Advantage of Children in the 105th Legislature 2nd Session 2018 Dear Nebraska Friends and Colleagues, August 2018 The Holland Children’s Movement has assembled a list of selected legislative votes from the 105th Legislative Session. These selected votes are from bills that pertained to the Holland Children’s Movement’s priorities related to early childhood education, quality health care, and economic opportunity. We have included a percentage of each senator’s support of these priorities based on their votes on specific legislative measures throughout 2017-2018 and cumulatively with their 2015-16 Legislative Scorecard results, when applicable. These voting records do not cover all legislative actions and proposals of interest to Nebraska children, such as committee votes or bills introduced. In that regard, we would like to commend Senator Sue Crawford for introducing paid sick and safe leave legislation, Senator Kate Bolz for introducing legislation to expand the child and dependent care tax credit, Senator Sara Howard for introducing legislation to expand access to mental health care to minors, and Senator Patty Pansing Brooks for introducing legislation to lead on equal pay for equal work. We are pleased to report that more than half of all senators voted in support of the position of the Holland Children’s Movement 80% or more of the time. This includes nineteen senators who received a perfect score of 100% for their efforts in the 2018 session. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all of our senators for their dedication to public service and our gratitude for the actions taken to prioritize Nebraska children and families, especially in the face of difficult financial times.
