By 2015, almost 66 percent of the company’s revenue will be paid either in part or entirely by the federal and state government. For this reason, we continue to play an active role in the political process through our Public Affairs efforts, industry memberships and WellPAC, our political action committee. More than 1,875 WellPoint associates provided voluntary nancial support to WellPAC in 2012. Their generosity allowed our PAC to make contributions of more than $780,000 to federal campaigns and $140,000 to state and local campaigns on both sides of the political aisle in 2012. Our participation in the political process helps us develop good working relationships with Members of Congress, as well as key state legislators, in order to communicate WellPoint’s perspective on a range of issues including the cost and quality of today’s health care, the establishment of insurance exchanges and the expansion of Medicaid.

  • Pfizer Inc. Regarding Congruency of Political Contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation
    SANFORD J. LEWIS, ATTORNEY January 28, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Pfizer Inc. Regarding congruency of political contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation Ladies and Gentlemen: Tara Health Foundation (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I have been asked by the Proponent to respond to the supplemental letter dated January 25, 2021 ("Supplemental Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by Margaret M. Madden. A copy of this response letter is being emailed concurrently to Margaret M. Madden. The Company continues to assert that the proposal is substantially implemented. In essence, the Company’s original and supplemental letters imply that under the substantial implementation doctrine as the company understands it, shareholders are not entitled to make the request of this proposal for an annual examination of congruency, but that a simple written acknowledgment that Pfizer contributions will sometimes conflict with company values is all on this topic that investors are entitled to request through a shareholder proposal. The Supplemental letter makes much of the claim that the proposal does not seek reporting on “instances of incongruency” but rather on how Pfizer’s political and electioneering expenditures aligned during the preceding year against publicly stated company values and policies.” While the company has provided a blanket disclaimer of why its contributions may sometimes be incongruent, the proposal calls for an annual assessment of congruency.

  • Lexington TV Stations Get Millions for Ads on Senate Race but Give It Scant News Coverage, UK’S Institute for Rural Journalism Finds in Continuing Study
    FINAL NUMBERS: Oct. 21 through 5 p.m. Election Day Total news coverage: 3 hours, 49 minutes, 51 seconds 2 hours, 23 minutes, 13 seconds of news Total time of ads (@30 sec.): 115 hours 82 hours, 13 minutes, 30 seconds of ads Ratio of news to advertising: 1 to 29.7 1 to 34.5 PRESS RELEASE Oct. 27, 2008 Contact: Al Cross, 859-257-3744 Lexington TV stations get millions for ads on Senate race but give it scant news coverage, UK’s Institute for Rural Journalism finds in continuing study LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Television stations in Lexington sold almost $3 million worth of advertising to candidates and interest groups in Kentucky’s general election for the U.S. Senate through Oct. 20, but ran relatively few news stories on the nationally important race. Most were horse-race stories about campaign tactics and support, and most of the stories that touched on issues did so only superficially. Those are the major, preliminary findings of a study being conducted by the Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues, part of the School of Journalism and Telecommunications at the University of Kentucky. The Institute launched the study because many rural Kentuckians do not read daily newspapers, and their local, weekly papers generally do not cover statewide elections or subscribe to The Associated Press. Thus, for many rural voters, television is the major source of information about candidates in statewide races. The four television stations in Lexington are better situated to cover Kentucky elections than most other stations in the state, because the Lexington TV market is the only major market that lies entirely within Kentucky.

  • The 2019 Collaborative Kentucky Exit Poll
    THE 2019 COLLABORATIVE KENTUCKY EXIT POLL KENTUCKY GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION EXIT POLL: AN EARLY EXAMINATION OF THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION November 7, 2019 SUMMARY: A statewide poll conducted by political scientists from Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, shows that Republican defectors likely caused Matt Bevin (R) to lose the gubernatorial campaign to Andy Beshear (D). As highlighted by analysts and pundits alike, this victory for Democrats may be an early sign of things to come in 2020. Donald Trump won Kentucky by nearly 30 percentage points in 2016. However, with this gubernatorial upset, it seems unlikely that Trump will carry the state with a similar margin in 2020. The 2019 Collaborative Kentucky Exit Poll (CKEP) was administered by a joint collaboration of researchers at Centre College, University of Pennsylvania, the University of Kentucky, Morehead State University, Campbellsville University, and the University of Cincinnati. Full topline results for the survey questions (including margins of error) associated with this release can be found HERE. The survey was directed by Dr. Benjamin Knoll of Centre College and Drs. Michele Margolis and Dan Hopkins at the University of Pennsylvania. Other research collaborators included Drs. Jaclyn Johnson and Ryan Lloyd of Centre College, Dr. Michael Hail of Morehead State University, Drs. Josiah Marineau and Shawn Williams of Campbellsville University, Drs. Andrew Lewis and Jack Mewhirter of the University of Cincinnati, Dr. Mike Zillis of the University of Kentucky, and David Azizi of the University of Pennsylvania. Surveys were fielded from 6:00 AM through 6:00 PM local time surveying voters as they left the polls in selected locations in Boone, Boyle, Campbell, Fayette, Kenton, Pulaski, Taylor, and Rowan counties.

The Legal Merits of Temporary Immunity from Criminal Prosecution for Kentucky's Chief Executive Nick Jonesl INTRODUCTION W ITHOUT question, Presidents, governors and even mayors face intense scrutiny for the actions they take both in their public and private lives. The most obvious ramifications of such scrutiny are witnessed at the ballot box. When the proper components coalesce, however, and the perfect storm develops, a chief executive can arrive at litigation's doorstep. And in the event an executive officer steps yet further beyond the bounds of his or her public duty and breaches the very laws which comprise the government that officer leads, the specter of prosecution emerges.
