Utah Legislature Environmental Awareness Education Project 104 Intern Project: Facts, Fiction, Futures, and Vision - for Utah A new project by Distinguished Professor Joe Andrade (www.2andrade.org ) will involve 1 - 3 interns Summer Term. Each intern will receive a $1000 scholarship for Summer term work, upon submission of the project final report. There may be a Fall Term opportunity as well. Interns will meet weekly with Dr. Andrade as a group and communicate regularly via email, phone, and social media. There are 29 Senatorial Districts and 75 House Districts. One intern will focus on the 29 Senate Districts; the other two interns will split/share the 75 House Districts. Using online resources, including www.le.utah.gov www.votesmart.org and others the Districts maps, towns, elected legislators and 2014 candidates will be identified and their positions, statements, and platforms regarding environmental, sustainability, and related topics will be noted and summarized. After fact checking and additional research, the interns will work with district-based colleges, high schools, newspapers, radio stations, and community groups to help inform the district constituents as to positions and platforms, with an emphasis on Facts, Fictions, Futures, and Vision. These activities will be non-political and no endorsements or other partisan, political activities will be part of this project. The goal is awareness and information - as factual and reliable as possible. Interns will gain experience with research using online tools, critical analysis of available information, fact-checking, interviews, etc. They will also gain experience with the media, including print, radio, and public meetings or events. They will gain experience in writing summaries, reviews, and critiques for various media, including social media (Twitter, Facebook, Blogs).

  • 2021 Legislative Wrap up Document
    UTAH LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS LEGISLATIVE2021 WRAP UP #Cities Work INTRODUCTION 2021 was a legislative session like no other: new Governor, new legislators, COVID-19, Zoom voting, and an earlier start date after several 2020 special sessions. ULCT successfully nav- igated the 2021 General Session by relying on the League’s pillars: respecting the roles of state and local government, collaborating with stake- holders, and targeting policy-focused outcomes. ULCT took a hands-on approach with over 60 bills—testifying, negoti- ating, writing language, 245 and other advocacy BILLS TRACKED work—in addition to the INTRODUCTION 245 bills we tracked. Despite many bills preempt- ing local government authority, ULCT effectively defeated legislation mandating digital billboards, expanding short-term rentals, and increasing bureaucracy around fees, to name a few. ULCT invested significant resources negotiating and amending two preemptive land use bills, and will continue discussions with legislators on inspec- tions, building design elements, and internal ac- cessory dwelling units. Several bills supporting and improving law enforcement were passed due to the efforts of the Love, Listen, Lead Task Force, a joint ULCT and Utah Chiefs of Police Association endeavor. The Legislature also passed an unprec- edented investment in transit and transportation projects, efforts supported by the ULCT Board. Ultimately, our success comes back to the unpar- alleled involvement by our members. Thank you! Of course, the session also created plenty of is- sues for the 2021 interim, including continuing discussions on water, land use, public safety, and much more. We encourage members to engage with the League through the Legislative Policy Committee, ULCT conferences, and League com- munications.

  • 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.
