  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.

  • The Anatomy of Influence: Government Unions in Illinois
    The anatomy of influence: Government unions in Illinois David Giuliani | Government reform analyst Chris Andriesen | Project manager Illinois Policy Institute TABLE OF CONTENTS Overall union membership Employment and union membership in Illinois 6 Overall employment, public sector vs. private sector 8 Union profiles Illinois Education Association 10 Illinois Federation of Teachers 12 American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 14 Service Employees International Union 16 Union spending Partisan breakdown 20 Largest beneficiaries 22 99th General Assembly 29 ILLINOISPOLICY.ORG | 3 INTRODUCTION In 24 states, employees of a unionized workplace can decide for themselves whether they want to join and financially support a union. In Wisconsin, this choice is extended to employees of state government. But not in Illinois; almost all government workers – including teachers, police officers and those who serve in state government – are required to pay money to a union to keep their jobs. Because of this, government unions in Illinois have long been powerful in state politics, with the major government unions donating tens of millions of dollars to political campaigns. Since 2002, Illinois’ five major government unions have spent more than $46 million on direct political contributions alone. “The anatomy of influence: Government unions in Illinois” takes a close look at unions’ political spending and the influence afforded to government unions as a result. This analysis offers an unprecedented review of the political donations to the current Illinois General Assembly, as well as top recipients of union political giving since 2002. It also highlights how profitable the business of forced unionization can be for those who run the unions by listing a sampling of the highest-compensated employees for the state’s major government unions: the Illinois Education Association; Illinois Federation of Teachers; American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31; and Service Employees International Union.

Detailed Analysis Inside These Pages • Morris J. Amitay says “New York Times — Enough is Enough” MWRD President Terry O’Brien • Complete In-depth Political Roundup, Analysis and Endorsements Who are these people and should you be voting for them? Stroger & Peraica Battle to Wire for County Board Presidency The New York Times – Enough is Enough by Morrie Amitay After 50 plus years of reading the New York Times, I just couldn’t take it anymore. “All the news that’s fit to print” gave me that final push when it published the details of an effective secret surveillance program of terrorist financing. This, plus the incredible anti-Israel bias in its reporting finally convinced me to dump “the Gray Lady” for both emotional and political reasons. In recent months the Times has almost become a caricature of itself in pushing an uncompromising far left agenda with its selective reporting, disclosures of sensitive information which helps our enemies, and its extreme editorial pages. A steady diet of the “blame America” inanities spewed forth from the pens of Krugman, Herbert, Kristof and Dowd just became too much to stomach. For too long now Times readers endured not only blatant bias, but an unbelievable hatred expressed not only for the President, Vice President, and White House staff, but for our own country. With their motto – “my country, always wrong”, - it is reasonable to assume that despite any lip service about supporting our troops, they are secretly cheering for the insurgents in Iraq so that their own misbegotten views might be vindicated.
