  • Voters in CA, WA and ID Reject Efforts to Gut Local Zoning and Environmental Protections
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 8, 2006 Voters in CA, WA and ID Reject Efforts to Gut Local Zoning and Environmental Protections Using eminent domain as Trojan Horse fails to fool most voters CONTACT: Alex Goldschmidt, Smart Growth America, (202) 207-3355 x112, [email protected] Washington, DC – Voters in three key Western states Tuesday resoundingly rejected anti-taxpayer measures that sought to hamstring communities’ efforts to manage growth and protect property values and the environment. Foisted onto the ballots with millions from New York real estate mogul Howard Rich and his allied groups, the measures in California, Washington and Idaho would have mimicked a 2004 measure from Oregon, requiring taxpayers to pay landowners when a zoning or environmental protection reduced their speculative profits. If taxpayers couldn’t pay they would have to waive the rules, solely for those landowners. “Voters know their communities need to be able to make sound, local decisions in order to protect our neighborhoods, clean water and quality of life,” said Don Chen, executive director of Smart Growth America. “While our coalition doggedly defends the rights of individual property owners, these measures were really about crippling community planning and creating windfalls for certain speculators.” Only one of the four pay-or-waive measures, Arizona’s Proposition 207, was approved. There, Rich and company deceptively claimed the initiative was limited to restricting the use of eminent domain, and under-funded opponents lacked the resources to unmask the ruse amid 18 other ballot initiatives. Rich poured $1.5 million into the effort to undermine Arizona’s capacity to deal with its rapid growth and protect the state’s military bases from encroaching development.

    © Copyright 2020 Yunkang Yang The Political Logic of the Radical Right Media Sphere in the United States Yunkang Yang A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: W. Lance Bennett, Chair Matthew J. Powers Kirsten A. Foot Adrienne Russell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Communication University of Washington Abstract The Political Logic of the Radical Right Media Sphere in the United States Yunkang Yang Chair of the Supervisory Committee: W. Lance Bennett Department of Communication Democracy in America is threatened by an increased level of false information circulating through online media networks. Previous research has found that radical right media such as Fox News and Breitbart are the principal incubators and distributors of online disinformation. In this dissertation, I draw attention to their political mobilizing logic and propose a new theoretical framework to analyze major radical right media in the U.S. Contrasted with the old partisan media literature that regarded radical right media as partisan news organizations, I argue that media outlets such as Fox News and Breitbart are better understood as hybrid network organizations. This means that many radical right media can function as partisan journalism producers, disinformation distributors, and in many cases political organizations at the same time. They not only provide partisan news reporting but also engage in a variety of political activities such as spreading disinformation, conducting opposition research, contacting voters, and campaigning and fundraising for politicians. In addition, many radical right media are also capable of forming emerging political organization networks that can mobilize resources, coordinate actions, and pursue tangible political goals at strategic moments in response to the changing political environment.

A Virginia-based group, Citizens in Charge, is mounting what its Web site calls "a study of public resource abuse" under the name CitizenFOIA (FOIA stands for Freedom of Information Act). Citizens in Charge is aiming its campaign, which also includes requests for Internet and e-mail use policies and their enforcement, at Oregon and other states where groups backed by Howard Rich, the head of Americans for Limited Government and U.S. Term Limits, pushed spending limits or property rights measures this year. Citizens In Charge's president, Paul Jacob, says his group is nonpartisan. "Our goal is basically to find out to what degree public resources are being used for political campaigning and to make sure those resources are not abused," he said. Oregon election law forbids public employees to send, forward, copy or distribute e-mail that supports or opposes a political committee, election petition, candidate or measure.
