Sex Is Not Without Its Advantages
Sex is not without its advantages Now that the baseball season in town is effectively over, cook up a good local sex scandal or two to divert attention away from these far more serious issues. July 25, 2013 By Allen R. Sanderson As Chicago's homicide rate and Illinois' pension crisis continue to garner national media attention and spiral out of control, our city and state politicians are Nero-like in their responses. We need some bold action, or at least diversion, and soon, or we risk sinking even lower on the political radar screen — we are only fifth in state population and thanks to Toronto, we are now the fifth-largest city in North America. The "flyover" section of our country has a lot to learn from the coasts — and even abroad. Thus I offer this humble suggestion: Now that the baseball season in town is effectively over, cook up a good local sex scandal or two to divert attention away from these far more serious issues. I'm not asking for an Anthony Weiner on any given day. And not even a John Edwards. But can't we at least produce in this city and state someone on the order of Eliot Spitzer or Silvio Berlusconi? I'd even settle for Mark Sanford or David Vitter. Sure, we have had more than our fair share of high-profile felons — former Govs. Rod Blagojevich, George Ryan, Dan Walker, Otto Kerner. But for what? Corruption, racketeering, bribery, fraud. Boring stuff. Where were the sexting emails, prostitutes, strippers, mistresses, photos of a blue dress or the Appalachian Trail? Our about-one-scandal-per-year Chicago aldermen have gotten their three squares a day at the public trough for the mundane: corruption, bribery, tax evasion.

When Mayors Use School Choice As a Reform Strategy
When Mayors Use School Choice as a Reform Strategy by Kenneth K. Wong Brown University Box 1938, 21 Manning Walk Providence, RI 02912 Phone: 401-863-1486 Email: [email protected] Francis X. Shen Harvard University 1737 Cambridge St. Cambridge, MA 02138 Email: [email protected] Lauren M. Pachucki Vanderbilt University Email: [email protected] Paper prepared for the 2006 Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association, April 7- 11, 2006, San Francisco, CA Wong, Shen, & Pachucki Mayors & School Choice Page 1 When Mayors Use School Choice as a Reform Strategy I. INTRODUCTION All political scientists who study education policy start their analysis with a similar premise: “educational reform does not take place in political vacuum.”1 Studies of the politics of school choice have focused primarily on state-level political dynamics (Mintrom 2000, Henig, et. al. 2002, Wong & Shen 2004). This line of research makes sense since the charter school market is initially created and subsequently altered by the state legislature. In this paper, however, we break from this trend and focus our attention on local government and the politics of school choice. Specifically, we examine the relationship between school choice and big city mayors. Our preliminary analysis finds that mayoral positions on school choice is influenced not only the existing legislation governing school choice in their city, but also by their city’s size and racial composition. Although the state legislature writes the charter school or voucher laws, mayors play important roles in the legislative and policy enactment process. At the legislative level, mayors can influence the type of laws that are enacted by working with state legislators and lobbying for more choice options.

September 20, 2010 The Honorable Harry Reid The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House United States Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable John A. Boehner Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Senator Reid, Senator McConnell, Madam Speaker and Mr. Boehner, As members of Building America’s Future, we write to urge action by the House and Senate on legislation that will create a National Infrastructure Bank to help our cities and states find additional methods of financing for projects of regional and national significance. President Obama reiterated his support for this idea on September 6, 2010 and we applaud that announcement. As you may know, the U.S. Conference of Mayors recently endorsed this concept for its potential to correct the dire state of disrepair in which we find our nation’s infrastructure – our roads, bridges, transit systems, drinking and waste water systems and our broadband network. The House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Select Revenue Measures recently held a hearing during which Governor Ed Rendell (D-PA) and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D-Los Angeles) testified about the need for a new entity to focus our nation’s investment power around key projects of regional and national significance. Congress has failed to pass a six-year transportation bill and, as a result, there is no national vision as to how we will plan for the next decade and more. The economic challenges we still face are all the more reason for us to look to the future and find new ways to create jobs, rebuild our decaying infrastructure, improve our quality of life, increase safety and keep our nation economically competitive.

Fitzhugh St. Telephone: (401) 261-7395 Apartment #1 (585) 275-5149 Rochester, NY 14608 Email: [email protected] Education 2005-current Ph.D. (Expected May 2009), Brown University, Political Science Dissertation: “21st Century Black Mayors, Non-Majority Black Cities, and the Representation of Black Interests.” The dissertation is an examination of the conditions under which Black mayors of non-majority Black cities actively pursue policies designed to improve the quality of life of Black residents and examines the implications of two phenomena: demographic changes in many American cities that are steadily reversing the population dynamics that brought about the election of this nation’s first African-American mayors and how the election of a Black mayor is viewed by Black residents with high expectations and as a result as an opportunity to see city government work in their interests and to address inequities.
