  • Presidential Election Results
    2016 Election Overview The outcome of the 2016 elections has definitely altered the landscape for transportation policy and funding initiatives. From the Presidency down to state legislative races, we face a new legislative dynamic and many new faces. What hasn’t changed: the huge need for resources to increase the nation’s and the state’s investment in the transportation system and bipartisan agreement on that fact. Prior to the outcome of Tuesday’s election we were hearing from candidates on both sides of the aisle that increasing investments in infrastructure was an area of agreement. Candidates for Minnesota’s legislature brought up the need for a comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package over and over again in news stories, candidate profiles and candidate forums. We were hearing more from candidates about transportation than we have in previous election cycles. Voters in other states, made their voices heard by approving ballot initiatives in 22 states that increased and stabilized funding for transportation. As we head into 2017, transportation advocates have a huge opportunity to capitalize on the widespread support for infrastructure improvements. However, it will take the involvement of transportation advocates across the state making their voices heard to rise above partisan squabbling and the many other issues that will be on the table. National Presidential Election Results Electoral Votes Needed to Win: 270 *Remaining: 16 Trump (R) Electoral Votes 290 Popular Vote 60,375,961 Clinton (D) Electoral Votes 232 Popular Vote 61,047,207 Minnesota Clinton (D) percent 46.9% votes 1,366,676 Trump (R) percent 45.4% votes 1,322,891 The race for the White House defied the polls and expectations as Donald Trump won more than the needed 270 votes in the electoral college while Hillary Clinton narrowly won the popular vote.

The Office of " Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison helplng people afford their lives and live with dignity and respect - www.ag.state.mn.us February 19, 2021 The Honorable Peter A. Cahill Hennepin County Courthouse 300 Sixth Street South Minneapolis, MN 55487 Re: State v. Chauvin, Kueng, Lane, and Thao Court File No. 27-CR-20-12646, 27-CR-20-12953, 27-CR—20-12951, 27-CR-20-12646 Dear Judge Cahill: I made no contribution of any kind to the recent New York Times article (dated 2/10/21) in which the reporter asserts that Derek Chauvin was willing to plead guilty to third degree murder in state court in exchange for an agreement of non-prosecution for federal criminal charges. No one on our prosecution team contributed to the New York Times report of an alleged plea deal by Chauvin or the alleged involvement of the then-US. Attorney General. Defense counsel’s allegations are simply not true. We are mindful of our responsibilities under Rules 3.8 and 3.3 of the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct. I conducted a quick internet search of news articles about this alleged plea negotiation. It turns out that these alleged plea negotiations are hardly news at all. I found the following stories below, with relevant excerpts: Fox 9: Eli-Minneapolis police officer Chauvin was in talks to plead gum before arrest |June 9, 202M At the time, Chauvin was represented by Tom Kelly, who declined to comment.

  • Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515
    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 June 14, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232, The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Madam Speaker: We write today to urge you to fully reopen the House of Representatives. The positive impact of increasing vaccination rates and decreasing cases of COVID-19 are clear to see. Businesses are open, sporting venues and cultural institutions have welcomed back fans and visitors, and restrictions have been lifted. On June 11, Washington D.C. fully reopened and lifted the restrictions put in place to stop the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, the United States Capitol and the People’s House have failed to do the same. The Capitol remains closed to the American people and the House continues to maintain policies that run contrary to science of COVID-19. It is time for you to reopen the House and get back to serving the American people. Weekly case numbers in the United States have reached their lowest point since March of 2020 at the very start of the pandemic, and every day hundreds of thousands of Americans are being vaccinated. This also holds true for the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and the Capitol Hill community specifically. Over the last two weeks cases are down 36% in Washington D.C. and over 40% in both Virginia and Maryland. On Capitol Hill, no congressional staffer is known to have tested positive in weeks and no Member of Congress is known to have tested positive in months. This can no doubt be attributed to the institution’s steady access to vaccinations.

Your partnership has helped hospitals, health systems and health care providers continue to meet the needs of their patients and communities. Hospitals and health systems in Minnesota and across the U.S. received just over $100 billion in Medicare accelerated and advanced payment loans during 2020 to help fight COVID-19 (section 3719 of the CARES Act). Also last year, Congress extended the repayment terms of the expanded accelerated and advanced payment policy for Medicare providers, which was a tremendous help to providers.

  • MINNESOTA CONVICTION REVIEW UNIT CHARTER As One of Attorney
    MINNESOTA CONVICTION REVIEW UNIT CHARTER As one of Attorney General Keith Ellison's criminal justice reform initiatives,1 the Office of the Minnesota Attorney General, in conjunction with a federal grant received by the Great North Innocence Project, has created and will implement and direct a statewide Conviction Review Unit (CRU) to conduct extrajudicial review of juvenile adjudications, criminal convictions, and sentences2 in cases with plausible allegations of actual innocence or manifest injustice. The CRU shall conduct strategically collaborative, good-faith case reviews to ensure the integrity of challenged convictions, remedy wrongful convictions, and take any remedial measures necessary to correct injustices uncovered, within the bounds of the law. In cases where the CRU concludes there was a wrongful conviction—where the person convicted did not commit the crime—the CRU will seek to identify the true perpetrator of the underlying crime(s). The CRU will also study and collect data on the causes of wrongful convictions in Minnesota, in service of informing statewide policies and procedures designed to prevent such injustices going forward and strengthen community confidence in the criminal legal system overall. The CRU is committed to seeking the truth, communicating with and respecting crime victims, and ensuring transparency in the review process and shall openly and regularly report its case review numbers to the public. To fulfill its mission, the CRU will operate independently from trial, appellate, and post-conviction litigation units in the office, and will, where possible, conduct joint or cooperative investigations with applicants’ counsel, and, where joint investigation is not feasible, will approach its review and investigation in a non-adversarial manner, always with the goal of ensuring that justice prevails in each and every case.
