    June 30, 2021 The Honorable Joseph R. Biden, Jr. President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Biden, We are writing to urge you to act swiftly on bipartisan solutions to address the critical water crisis facing the western United States. This historic drought is threatening our drinking water supply and energy generation capacity, along with putting the health of our citizens, environment, and economy at risk. We are witnessing this water crisis grow each day in our communities. As you may know, Lake Mead, which supplies water for 25 million people across Nevada, Arizona, and California, just reached its lowest level since construction in the 1930s. Alarmingly, it currently stands at only 36 percent capacity. The Bureau of Reclamation is expected to declare a Level 1 shortage condition for 2022 that will result in water supply cuts for many states, including the loss of approximately one-third of the Colorado River water delivered into Central Arizona. Reclamation has already reduced water allocations for users of the Central Valley Project, which is facing the worst hydrologic conditions since 1976-77. And extreme drought conditions and low snowpack on the Rio Grande are threatening reservoir levels and water allocations. The shortages will have far-reaching impacts for our water utilities, farmers, tribal communities, and the health of our rivers and ecosystems. But the impacts of this drought will be felt far beyond these water shortages. Lower levels in reservoirs decrease our ability to generate electricity. At the Hoover Dam, which has the capacity to produce power for 1.3 million people, generation is down by 25%.

  • Casinos Cautioned Over Mixed Messages on Internet Gambling Published on Gamblingcompliance (
    Casinos Cautioned Over Mixed Messages On Internet Gambling Published on GamblingCompliance (http://www.gamblingcompliance.com) Casinos Cautioned Over Mixed Messages On Internet Gambling 02 Aug, 2013 Tony Batt, GamblingCompliance [1] By sending mixed messages to U.S. Congress, the casino industry threatens efforts to pass a strict and comprehensive Internet poker bill, and might provoke a federal crackdown that could shut down the online gaming market, according to a former Republican congressman from Nevada. Jon Porter, a gaming lobbyist who represented Nevada in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2003 to 2009, told GamblingCompliance he was disturbed by inaccurate information conveyed at a July 17 hearing on Internet gambling [2] by the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Insurance. Members of the subcommittee and witnesses repeatedly criticized the U.S. Department of Justice for its 2011 decision to reverse its longstanding position [3] that all Internet gambling is illegal under the Interstate Wire Act of 1961. Comments during the hearing linked Internet gambling websites to money laundering, terrorism, drugs, human trafficking and pornography. “The industry needs to be very careful here because Congress has the power to amend the Wire Act and restore the ban on Internet gambling, and I don’t think the industry wants that,” Porter said. As one of the most tightly regulated industries in the United States, casinos should be doing more to collectively educate lawmakers about the safeguards available to protect consumers, according to Porter. He said the online gaming industry’s safeguards are comparable to methods used to protect electronic financial transactions in banking and the purchase of stocks.

    TO: Interested Parties FR: Dan Sena, DCCC Executive Director DT: April 3, 2018 RE: Take it Back: Democrats Have Clear Advantage in New District Polls It’s game time. Month by month, week by week, primaries will produce battle-tested and uniquely qualified Democratic candidates. And vulnerable House Republicans will be forced to face reality: According to a sample of newly released polling data from a wide variety of districts, Democrats are poised to take back the House. Since the start of the cycle, the grassroots backlash against the Republican agenda has been fierce. Each day since, President Trump and Speaker Ryan’s Congress have given voters motivation to organize, fight, and win. Voters are fighting to take back respect, stability, affordable healthcare, economic security, and a safe and stable future for both their parents and their children. While motivations vary, the American people will keep marching, protesting and ultimately voting to take back the House. The DCCC has built the largest battlefield in modern history – over 100 districts and counting. We invested in the grassroots, local organizers, and robust voter contact earlier than ever before. Most importantly, we recruited and empowered Democratic candidates who fit their districts and have records of service to their communities and our country that resonate with voters. These Democrats are running deep into the battlefield, and their candidacies are breathing new energy into the party. These Democrats’ strength as campaigners matches their inspiring work and life stories. They’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with key progressive groups to sharpen the backlash against Republicans for their destructive agenda, particularly the healthcare repeal effort and tax scam that benefits the rich and big corporations instead of middle class Americans.

  • Graduate Report
    GRADUATE REPORT Serving Non-Profits Faculty News Around Campus Profiles Alumni Awards Dinner Giving Back Class Notes Spring/Summer 2011 etter from the Dean Dear Graduates: L Summer session is going full tilt and the beautiful May morning on which Attorney General Jepsen addressed the Class of 2011 has made way for a glorious July 4 weekend. I am grateful for the invigorating effect of New England’s change of seasons as we begin planning a new school year. There is much work to do. Legal educators everywhere are facing a changing profession in which entry level jobs are growing scarce, and in which greater rewards are going to smaller numbers of lawyers. Conceptual dexterity and analytical rigor, long the hallmarks of our craft, are no longer sufficient to guarantee success. Law schools must adapt our curricula accordingly. Professor Paul Chill will lead a review of our program to determine what reforms might best fit our students’ objectives. We welcome your ideas. Harsh economics have also driven down law school applications by roughly 11% nationally. We have been hit by a decline in the number of candidates for our evening program. Building a class from a smaller pool puts enormous pressure on our entering statistics and further harms our U.S. News ranking, even as our academic program continues to soar. Professor Peter Lindseth will lead a committee considering ways to respond to this changing market. As we prepare for the future, there is much to celebrate about the fabulous year just past. The University attracted Susan Herbst, a warm, thoughtful, energetic, and articulate academic administrator to serve as its first woman president.

    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

  • 1 April 2, 2020 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House Of
    April 2, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives H-232, United States Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi: We are grateful for your tireless work to address the needs of all Americans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for your understanding of the tremendous burdens that have been borne by localities as they work to respond to this crisis and keep their populations safe. However, we are concerned that the COVID-19 relief packages considered thus far have not provided direct funding to stabilize smaller counties, cities, and towns—specifically, those with populations under 500,000. As such, we urge you to include direct stabilization funding to such localities in the next COVID-19 response bill, or to lower the threshold for direct funding through the Coronavirus Relief Fund to localities with smaller populations. Many of us represent districts containing no or few localities with populations above 500,000. Like their larger neighbors, though, these smaller counties, cities, and towns have faced enormous costs while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. These costs include deploying timely public service announcements to keep Americans informed, rapidly activating emergency operations, readying employees for telework to keep services running, and more. This work is essential to keeping our constituents safe and mitigating the spread of the coronavirus as effectively as possible. We fear that, without targeted stabilization funding, smaller localities will be unable to continue providing these critical services to our constituents at the rate they are currently. We applaud you for including a $200 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund as part of H.R.
