Risk Analysis means an economic risk analysis that: a) Identifies the most likely and substantial risk that could cause the state of Utah to experience a reduction in the amount or value of federal funds it receives; b) Assesses, for each identified risk, the probability that the risk will actually occur; c) Assesses the direct and indirect impacts to the state of Utah, given the occurrence of each identified risk, including the amount or value of the reduction in the federal funds to the state; and d) Identifies and recommends methods that state can employ to avoid, minimize, and monitor the impacts of each identified risk. Please note that we have categorized risks by type and provided a subjective estimate of probability. The list is compiled based on judgment rather than modeling or other methods. This effort is not intended to be predictive as none of the risks identified may come to fruition. The purpose is, however, to identify potentially catastrophic risks and describe potential impacts with a cursory review of possible mitigation opportunities.

  • June 16, 2014 Honorable Barack Obama President of the United
    June 16, 2014 Honorable Barack Obama President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: As Governors leading diverse States that both produce and consume energy, we ask that you pursue a pragmatic energy policy that balances our nation’s economic needs, energy security, and environmental quality objectives. As you know, the energy industry is a major source of job creation in our country, providing employment to millions of our citizens and bolstering U.S. economic competitiveness. America was able to meet almost 90 percent of its energy needs last year—the most since March 1985—in large part because of increased domestic energy production. We take pride in the fact that domestic production largely powers America and increasingly other economies as well, helping to eradicate poverty and to provide political stability around the globe. Development of our resources has put more money in the pockets of working families and has helped the poor and elderly on fixed incomes, who can now more easily afford to run their air conditioning in the heat of the summer. For example, American natural gas production is reducing average retail electricity prices by 10 percent, saving households, on average, nearly $1,000 per year between 2012 and 2015. This significant accomplishment of increased U.S. energy independence, with its associated economic and health benefits, has been achieved largely by State policies—despite redundant and burdensome federal regulation. Your proposed rules for regulating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from existing power plants and redefining the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) would unnecessarily expand federal authority over the States in energy policymaking and risk undermining our success.

  • New Orleans Saints Salute True Saints in Louisiana – Essential
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contacts: Deborah Sternberg [email protected] (225) 236-7227 New Orleans Saints Salute True Saints in Louisiana – Essential Workers Team partners with 19 Thanks in video tribute to essential workers promoting statewide virtual event on May 19 at 19:00 (7 pm) Baton Rouge – (May 15, 2020) – The New Orleans Saints have partnered with nonprofit 19 Thanks to salute essential workers across Louisiana in a new online video starring three members of the Saints football team – Offensive Tackle Ryan Ramczyk, Defensive Tackle Sheldon Rankins, and Linebacker Alex Anzalone. The three players begin the video by saying they know Saints when they see them, and they’re everywhere in Louisiana. “We see them in our hospitals and clinics. We see them in our fire departments and police stations. They are stocking our shelves, delivering our meals, keeping us safe and protected.” Anzalone, Rankins, and Ramczyk then encourage everyone across Louisiana to join together on Tuesday, May 19 at 19:00 hours (7 pm) to make some noise, march in place and have a virtual second line of thanks for our front line workers. “We’re going to blast ‘When The Saints Go Marching In’ from every home,” Ramczyk says. The New Orleans Saints are the latest in a growing list of 19 Thanks advocates from around the state. More than twenty-five musicians - including Branford Marsalis, Kix Brooks and Amanda Shaw - have submitted videos of their rendition of “When The Saints Go Marching In” to be featured in a 19-minute video tribute to essential workers in Louisiana on the night of May 19.

They record the social, political and economic lives of rich and poor, female and male, slave and free, African, Native, European and American colonials. Although the majority of the cases deal with attempts by creditors to recover unpaid debts, the colonial collection includes many successions. These documents often contain a wealth of biographical information concerning Louisiana’s colonial inhabitants. Estate inventories, records of commercial transactions, correspondence and copies of wills, marriage contracts and baptismal, marriage and burial records may be included in a succession document. The colonial document collection includes petitions by slaves requesting manumission, applications by merchants for licenses to conduct business, requests by ship captains for absolution from responsibility for cargo lost at sea, and requests by traders for permission to conduct business in Europe, the West Indies and British colonies in North America **************************************************************************** RECORD GROUP 2 SPANISH JUDICIAL RECORDS Acc. # 1849.1; 1867; 7243 Acc. # 1849.2 = playing cards, 17790402202 Acc. # 1849.3 = 1799060301 1769-1803 190.5 ln. ft (381 boxes); 2 oversize boxes Like the judicial records from the French period, but with more details given, the Spanish records show the life of all of the colony.

  • Rep Publicans F Favored in N Louisian Na Govern Nor's Race E
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 17, 2014 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Republicans Favored in Louisiana Governor’s Race Raleigi h, N.C. – When we last polled the 2015 Louisiana gubernatorial race, we found the Democratic mayor of New Orleans, Mitch Landrieu, with a lead on both of his potential Republican opponents. In our latest Louisiana poll, we found the opposite. Landrieu, who led Republican Senator David Vitter 45-42 in August, now trails Vitter 50-37. Against Lieutenant Governor Jay Dardenne, Landrieu had held a solid 45-35 lead. Dardenne now beats him by ten points, 46-36. Democrat John Bel Edwards trails Vitter and Dardenne by even larger margins, 51-30 and 48--27 respectively. The problems for Landrieu seem to echo his sister’s, namely that Republicans have united against him. In August, he garnered 20% of the Republican vote against Vitter, and 23% against Dardenne. Those numbers are down to just 9% and 11%, respectively. Landrieu also finds himself in trouble with Democrats. In August he led Vitter among Democrats by 56%, and Dardenne by 55%. He now leads by only 41% against Vitter and 38% against Dardenne. As for who would win in a Vitter-Dardenne matchup, Vitter beats Dardenne 41-29 statewide, and 63-21 among Republlicans. Louisiana’s satisfaction with their gubernatorial candidates, howwever, does not extend to their current governor. Jindal remains one of the most unpopularr governors in the country, with just 35% of voters approving of his job performance and 53% disapproving.
