    1234 Massachusetts Avenue, NW • Suite 103 • Washington, DC 20005 • 202-347-1234 #100-33 Information Alert: October 11, 1988 Medicaid Reform House Hearing TO: DD Council Executive Directors FROM: Susan Ames-Zierman On September 30, 1988, Congressman Henry Waxroan held a hearing on his bill, H.R.5233, and that of Congressman Florio, H.R. 3454, which is the House companion bill to Senator Chafee's S. 1673, the Medicaid Home and Community Quality Services Act. Mr. Waxman's opening statement is enclosed. Attached is testimony given by Congressman Steve Bartlett of Texas, Senator Chafee, and the Congressional Budget Office. Also enclosed is a side-by-side comparison of the two bills and current Medicaid law developed by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress.. Senator Bentsen has agreed to mark up Senator Chafee's bill early in the 101st Congress. Should Senator Bentsen become the Vice-President, Senator Matsunaga of Hawaii would become Senate Finance Committee Chairman and would, in all likelihood, be agreeable to moving forward. Congressman Waxman, while not going as far as to discuss mark-up on either his or Florio's bill, did agree, in both his opening and closing statements, to work with Congressman Florio on a compromise early in the next Congress. A list of current co-sponsors of the Chafee/Florio bills is attached. We need to keep all those returning Senators and Congressman on-board when this process begins anew in January. For those in your Congressional delegations who are not current co-sponsors, plan some visits to programs while they are home campaigning this fall and over the holidays.

  • Redrawing Michigan's Congressional Districts
    Redrawing Michigan's Congressional Districts by Craig Ruff, President Losing two of eighteen congressional seats, Michigan clearly will lose clout in Washington,D.C. Not yet clear are how sixteen districts will be carved.from the current eighteen, who among our members of Congress will be most threutened, and how the 11-7 Democratic edge may change. This Public Pol icy Advisor ciiscurses district by district the range of options and relative threats to sitting members. For maps of Michigan's congressional districts refer topage 16. Seniority counts on Capitol Hill. Long service delivers prime committee assignments, committee and subcommitlee chairships, budget negotiating chits, and policy and party caucus leadcrship. As late as the early 1960s, southern Democrats armed with decades of seniority chaired nearly all the key committees of the U.S. House. Age, growing Republican competitiveness in the South, increased registration and voting by more liberal African-Americans in southern Democratic primaries, and incumbent entxenchmcn: in the L North and Midwcst largely have reversed geographical clout in the U.S. House. Michigan, not South Carolina nor Mississippi, now lays claim to a powerhouse delegation. Collectively, Lhc eighteen members of the U.S. Housc of Representatives from Michigan havc 286 years of service in Washington, D.C. Excluding Barbara-Rose Collins ;md David Camp, who wcrc elected in 1990, the remaining sixteen members average nearly 18 years each in the U.S. Congress. Those long tenures translate into key committee positions, pork barrel, and clout, particularly among majority Democrats. MICHIGAN'S MOST INFLUENTIAL MEMBERS OF THE U.S. HOUSE Not to downplay the constituent work, personal and political influence, and respect enjoyed by other Michigan congresspersons, cight Democrats and three Republicans are certainly movers and shakers in Washington, D.C.

  • The Honorable Thomas Petri (United States Congress, 1979-2015) U.S
    The Honorable Thomas Petri (United States Congress, 1979-2015) U.S. Representative Tom Petri represented Wisconsin's 5th Congressional District for 18 terms until his retirement from the U.S. House of Representatives at the end of the 113th Congress in 2015. He was a senior member of both the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Committee on Education and the Workforce. In the 113th Congress, Petri served as Chairman of the Highways and Transit Subcommittee and previously served as chair of the Aviation Subcommittee. Petri pursued legislative initiatives in several areas, including student loan reform, the federal highway program, cost-sharing for federal water projects, tax and welfare reform, and health care reform. He also sponsored bipartisan legislation, the Making Work and Marriage Pay Act, which would establish a commission to examine and report to Congress on the disincentives for low- income couples to work and marry created by uncoordinated state and federal social safety net programs. In addition to his legislative work, Petri was an active participant in U.S. Congress-Japanese Diet discussions. In Nov. 2014, in appreciation of his efforts, Japanese Emperor Akihito conferred on Petri honorary membership in the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver level, and in early 2015, Queen Elizabeth II made Petri an honorary officer of the British Empire. Petri served as the Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives-British Parliament exchange, the House French Caucus and the House German Caucus. Petri currently serves as a Member of the Board of the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress.

The sequester or automatic cuts mandated by the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings deficit reduction law took effect at midnight November 20. The effect on library programs is an 8.9 percent cut from FY 1987 funding levels. (See the October 28 ALA Washington Newsletter for a table of sequester levels for library programs and background on how the 8.9 percent level was calculated.) The cuts will remain in effect unless within ten legislative working days, ending about December 15, alternative means of reducing the deficit by $23 billion are signed into law. Up until November 19 it was expected that Congress would vote to extend the sequestration deadline if an agreement between congressional and White House negotiators on reducing the deficit was reached or was imminent. However, it became apparent that the votes to pass such an extension were not there, and the President signed the order allowing the sequester to take place.

  • The House of Representatives, June 19,1992
    June 19,1992 The Houses of Representatives by Craig Ruff Control of the Michigan House of Representatives overshadows all other state political stakes in 1992, but the evacuation of the state's delegation from the U.S. House of Representatives has commanded the lion's share of attention. This analysis updates earlier, speculative discussion of the House campaigns. THE MICHIGAN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Outcomes in the 110 individual races for the Michigan House of Representatives will determine whether Democrats share in state policy making in 1993-94, Republicans gain carte blanche power to reapportion all congressional and state legislative districts, and which individual members control the flow and substance of legislation in the lower chamber. Currently holding a 59-50 edge (with one heavily Democratic district vacant), Democrats may be entitled to some nervousness about retaining their uninterrupted, 24-year majority. But Republicans have raised expectations before (in 1972,1980, and 1984) of gaining a majority only to have L the Democrats hold on. Reapportionment Uncertainties The appeal in federal court of the new reapportionment maps places some House districts in limbo for future elections, but not 1992. The ACLU and NAACP, with support from the secretary of state and attorney general, are arguing in U.S. district court that the state supreme court's plan diluted the votes of African- Americans. The plaintiffs argue that at least 15 House and 5 Senate districts should contain majorities of minority residents; the state supreme court's plan drew 13 and 4 minority majority districts, respectively, for the House and Senate. At issue will be the relative priority given to full compliance with the federal voting rights act versus the state supreme court's protection of political jurisdictional lines (cities, counties, and townships).

  • Michigan Roundup, April 2, 1992
    April 2,1992 Legislative Week in Review .The legislative traffic jam on auto insurance reform remains a confusing snarl in many taxpayers' minds following lawmakers' approval of SB 691 and Govemor John Engler's promise to veto it. State Insurance Commissioner David Dykhouse has called the legislation fundamentally flawed, but its provisions-including mandatory rate rollbacks-are moot if the govemor follows through as expected with his veto threat. In that case, state auto insurance rates will be determined by methods predating 1986 Essential Insurance Act reforms that lapsed March 3 1. The likely effect will be that some urban drivers will see their rates lowered, while some suburban and outstate drivers will experience increases. The govemor has 14 days to sign or veto the bill that passed the House 94-12 and the Senate 24-14. .Govemor Engler will issue an April 16 executive order outlining cuts to absorb the state's $785 million deficit in the current year budget. The announcement ends a stalemate punctuated with increasingly vitriolic volleys between House Democrats and the administration over who should take the initiative in downsizing the budget to match recession-sapped revenues. 8 The Senate passed the following five department budget bills this week: Community Colleges (SB 748), $247 million general fund (GF); Higher Education (SB 751), $1,304 million GF; Corrections (SB 749), $937 million GF; Mental Health (SB 753), $959 million GF; and Public Health (SB 756), $146 million GF. .A bill offering an education warranty passed the Senate 31-3 this week. SB 775 would require Michigan schools to guarantee a specified proficiency level in reading, writing, and math on the part of their graduates and provide remedial training on demand of former students or their employers for up to two years after graduation.
