    Texas Association of Freestanding Emergency Centers

    Statewide Health Care Costs, Select Committee: The Honorable Greg Bonnen MD, Chair The Honorable Senfronia Thompson, Vice Chair The Honorable Garnet Coleman The Honorable Philip Cortez The Honorable James B. Frank The Honorable Cody Harris The Honorable Cole Hefner The Honorable Stephanie Klick The Honorable Eddie Lucio III The Honorable Christina Morales The Honorable Tom Oliverson MD October 1, 2020 Honorable Members of the Statewide Health Care Costs Select Committee, On behalf of The Texas Association of Freestanding Emergency Centers (TAFEC), we would like to submit the following information for the interim charges related to the information on health care costs in Texas. TAFEC is a member-based association representing more than 100 freestanding emergency centers and an industry which employs nearly five thousand Texans. As you may know, Freestanding Emergency Centers (FECs) are fully equipped emergency departments staffed by board-certified, emergency medicine-trained physicians and registered nurses who are on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These facilities are fully equipped for all medical emergencies, are highly regulated by the state and comply with all state EMTALA requirements, which mandate treatment of all patients regardless of their ability to pay. FECs have been a valuable resource during this national health crisis in treating Texans as well as helping relieve pressure on overburdened hospitals. Many healthcare facilities first opted not to offer COVID-19 assessments, leaving FECs, hospitals, and government entities as the lone providers willing or able to take the risk. As the demand grew, it was not uncommon to see patients waiting for many of the government and community testing centers’ appointments for 7- 14 days after exposure or onset of symptoms, which put pressure on FECs for those patients seeking immediate care.
  • Women and Equality

    Women and Equality

    WOMEN AND EQUALITY A California Review of Women’s Equity Issues in Civil Rights, Education and the Workplace California Senate Office of Research February 1999 Dedicated to Senator Rose Ann Vuich Rose Ann Vuich was elected California’s first woman state senator in 1976 and served four terms through 1992. Although a Democrat by registration, she built a reputation as a political independent who shunned deal-making. Throughout her legislative career, Senator Vuich represented her San Joaquin Valley district first and foremost and relied on her own knowledge and judgment to do it. She was reared on a farm in Tulare County, where she has spent most of her life. With a degree in accounting from the Central California Commercial College in Fresno, she worked as an accountant, tax consultant, estate planner and office manager before her election. After becoming a senator she continued, with her brother, to manage the family farm in Dinuba. The California State Senate began to change after Senator Vuich joined its ranks, followed over the years by other women. She kept a small porcelain bell on her Senate floor desk, and would gently but insistently shake it whenever a colleague addressed the “gentlemen of the Senate.” The Senate chamber originally had no women’s restroom. But that oversight permitted Senator Vuich, during a Capitol restoration in the late 1970s, to design a comfortable “Rose Room” where she and women members into the future could retreat from the Senate floor. A daughter of Yugoslav immigrants, Senator Vuich achieved many “firsts,” from serving as the first woman president of the Dinuba Chamber of Commerce to becoming the first woman to preside over a Senate floor session in 1986.

    117Th Illinois Congressional Delegation

    ILLINOIS CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION 117th Congress Two Senators represent each state in the U.S. Senate and are elected to serve six-year terms. U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D) of Springfield was elected to represent Illinois for a fifth term in 2020. Tammy Duckworth of Hoffman Estates (D) was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016. (See pages 16-19 for U.S. Senator photos and biographies.) In the November 2020 general election, Illinois voters elected 18 candidates to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives for two-year terms. Thirteen Democratic and five Republican U.S. Representatives were elected to serve in the 117th Congress. The November 2020 general election was historical, with the most women ever elect- ed to serve in Congress. Democrat Marie Newman and Republican Mary Miller — repre- senting districts that were previously held by men — added to the increase of female Representatives. Newman definitively won the general election to represent the 13th District after defeating 16-year incumbent U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinksi (D) in the March pri- mary. Miller won the 15th District seat that was previously held by U.S. Rep. John Shimkus (R), who served 12 terms in Congress and opted not to run for reelection. Since 1818, Illinois has had a total of 20 female U.S. Representatives. In 2021, seven are currently rep- resenting our state — a record-breaking total. The 117th Congress serves from Jan. 3, 2021, to Jan. 3, 2023. A view of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. 36 | 2021-2022 ILLINOIS BLUE BOOK 1st Congressional District BOBBY L.

The first section examines the location of the members of the Texas Senate and of the Texas House on the liberal-conservative dimension along which legislative politics takes place in Austin. In both chambers, every Republican is more conservative than every Democrat and every Democrat is more liberal than every Republican. There does, however, exist substantial ideological diversity within the respective Democratic and Republican delegations in each chamber. The second section explores the extent to which each senator and each representative was on the winning side of the non-lopsided final passage votes (FPVs) on which they voted.

    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515

    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 January 27, 2021 Honorable Janet Yellen Secretary U.S. Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Yellen: Congratulations on your swift confirmation by the Senate. To help American families and businesses weather the brutal hardships imposed by the continuing pandemic, it is essential for Treasury and Congress to work hand-in-hand. Only close collaboration can deliver needed support for our States and citizens so we can “Build Back Better.” To commence that work, we write you today to urge you to support the immediate repeal of the State and Local Tax (SALT) Deduction cap put in place by the disastrous 2017 partisan tax hike bill. As you know, the SALT deduction has historically strengthened state and local government functions, including public health programs, safety nets for low-income residents, and emergency response services. During your confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee on January 19, 2021, you rightly acknowledged the burden on the shoulders of our states and the need to help to keep essential frontline public workers on the job.1 Unfortunately, according to the December 2020 Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation Report, government employment overall is down by 1.3 million jobs since February 2020 when the pandemic exploded.2 The data shows that these layoffs are unfortunately concentrated most among those who educate our children, protect our cities and towns, and keep our communities clean. While New Jersey has done herculean work to prevent job losses in these critical services, our state has borne the brunt of the pandemic by cutting the government workforce by 4.8% from November 2019 to November 2020.3 These workers serve essential roles, and their job losses are further holding back our recovery.

He currently represents California's 22nd congressional district, which is located in the San Joaquin Valley and includes portions of Tulare and Fresno Counties. He and his wife have three daughters. Nunes is Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and a member of the Ways and Means Committee, having previously served as Chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade. He is the author of the book Restoring the Republic, which was published in September 2010. Early life, Education, and Career Nunes was born in Tulare, California. His family is of Portuguese descent, having emigrated from the Azores to California. From childhood, he worked on a farm that his family has operated in Tulare County for three generations. He raised cattle as a teenager, used his savings to begin a harvesting business, and then bought his own farmland with his brother. Nunes graduated from Tulare Union High School.

Governor’s Office Briefing Calls for Mayors Municipal Clerks: Please forward to your Mayor, Governing Body and Department Heads. To assist in providing guidance and information we have created a COVID-19 resource page. We will continue to update the page as we get pertinent information and include announcements in our Daily Updates. ****************************************************************************************************** I. Washington Needs to Recognize Municipal Efforts At this time–and it could change in a heartbeat–it seems that aid to New Jersey municipalities will not be included in the compromise legislation being negotiated in Washington. There appears to be strong opposition coming from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and from the White House for that, at this time. Both Senator McConnell and U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin have indicated a willingness to further consider the plight of state and local governments, in future legislation. We need to continue to push for passage of the Coronavirus Community Relief Act (the CCRA - H.R.6467) and its U.S. Senate companion, which awaits formal introduction. Currently on record sponsoring and supporting the CCRA are Senator Booker and House Members Malinowski, Gottheimer, Sherrill, Sires, Van Drew, and Watson Coleman. Please contact your Congressman, if not yet a cosponsor, and urge him to get on board by cosponsoring the CCRA. New Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr., along with Florida Congressman John Rutherford, is spearheading another effort to secure relief for our State and its local governments.
