In recent weeks, the president has proposed two massive packages of spending and tax proposals to overhaul the nation’s physical infrastructure and what the administration has dubbed the nation’s “human” infrastructure. Tax News & Views Page 1 of 14 Copyright © 2021 Deloitte Development LLC May 14, 2021 All rights reserved. Biden’s American Jobs Plan calls for investing an estimated $2.7 trillion (over eight years) in transportation infrastructure, broadband, the electric grid, water systems, schools, manufacturing, renewable energy, and more, and would be paid for largely through increased taxes on corporations and, in particular, US multinationals.

Primary • Newark's high school units prepare for season voting Saturday 26th District candidates have different styles by Michael Ricci The major issues facing both candidates in this Saturday's 26th Representative District primary election are familiar to Newark residents: education, the environment, traffic congestion, planning and county develop­ ment. But the approach being taken to these issues by candidates Bob Hopkins and Ken Boulden is quite different. Hopkins said he sees a need for major changes in regional plann­ ing and development patterns. "The present situation is chaotic," he said. " We need to put pressure on the county to come up with a comprehensive plan." In addition, Hopkins said, the state must take a more active role in monitoring environmental and traffic problems in the region. Boulden is using an unusual and much different campaign ap­ proach than Hopkins. " I think issues will decide the general election," he said, but not the Glasgow High School band members practice marching.

  • March 2019 with President Trump Signing Funding Legislation in Late
    Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser March 2019 SHARE THIS With President Trump signing funding legislation in late January to reopen the government, both Congress and the Executive Branch have turned their attention back to a litany of other agenda items. Chief among these issues will be funding for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020, which legislators will need to secure before current government funding runs out at the end of the fiscal year on September 30. The FY 2020 appropriations process will begin in earnest on March 11 as President Trump unveiled his budget for the fiscal year. The President’s budget is a starting point for lawmakers in Congress, who will begin negotiating topline levels for government spending. One complicating factor is the potential return of budget sequestration. Under The Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA), budget caps are set to come back into force for Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021, absent congressional action and enforced by an across­the­government process of spending cuts known as sequestration. Already, conversations are underway among budget and appropriations leaders on how to lift the austere budget caps and avert sequestration. Another issue that has reemerged for Congress is how to proceed with the statutory limit on U.S. debt, known as the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling was suspended until March 1, per legislation signed by the President in February 2018. Though the debt ceiling has been reached, the U.S. Treasury (Treasury) has “extraordinary measures” it can use to delay actual default on the federal debt. However, those measures are likely to run out sometime in late summer or early fall, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has called on Congress to pass a debt ceiling extension as soon as possible.

    Senate Committee Musical Chairs August 15, 2018 Key Retiring Committee Seniority over Sitting Chair/Ranking Member Viewed as Seat Republicans Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Republican Seat Viewed as Republican Seat at Risk Viewed as Seat Democrats Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Democratic Seat Viewed as Democratic Seat at Risk Notes • The Senate Republican leader is not term-limited; Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will likely remain majority leader. The only member of Senate GOP leadership who is currently term-limited is Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-TX). • Republicans have term limits of six years as chairman and six years as ranking member. Republican members can only use seniority to bump sitting chairs/ranking members when the control of the Senate switches parties. • Committee leadership for the Senate Aging; Agriculture; Appropriations; Banking; Environment and Public Works (EPW); Health Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP); Indian Affairs; Intelligence; Rules; and Veterans Affairs Committees are unlikely to change. Notes • Current Armed Services Committee (SASC) Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) continues to receive treatment for brain cancer in Arizona. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has served as acting chairman and is likely to continue to do so in Senator McCain’s absence. If Republicans lose control of the Senate, Senator McCain would lose his top spot on the committee because he already has six years as ranking member. • In the unlikely scenario that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) does not take over the Finance Committee, Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), who currently serves as Chairman of the Banking Committee, could take over the Finance Committee.

Tom Carper on the trade issues confronting America Monday, June 15, 2020 DAVID DOLLAR Senior Fellow, Foreign Policy and Global Economy and Development Programs and the John L. Thornton China Center The Brookings Institution THE HON. TOM CARPER U.S. Senate (D-DE) * * * * * DOLLAR: Hi, I'm David Dollar, host of the Brookings trade podcast, "Dollars & Sense." Today my guest is Senator Tom Carper, Democrat of Delaware. Among other things, the senator is and members of the Senate Finance Committee which deals with trade issues. We're going to talk about some of the key trade issues facing America and issues that Congress is dealing with. So, thank you very much for joining the show, Senator. SEN. CARPER: David, great to see you. Thanks so much. DOLLAR: So one of the important trade issues right now concerns Hong Kong. The United States has accorded special status to Hong Kong even though it's part of the larger People's Republic of China, but now that Beijing is encroaching on civil liberties there our administration is considering taking away the special status. It actually consists of a lot of different specific things – an extradition treaty, different tariffs for Hong Kong goods, we have very deep financial integration – so to some extent we can pick and choose. The challenge, it seems to me, is that we don't want to hurt the people of Hong Kong, but we are interested in making some kind of statement and trying to influence Beijing. So can I ask: What are your views on what we should be doing with Hong Kong's special status? SEN.

Republicans already held 31 governor- ships to the Democrats’ 18—Alaska Gov. Bill Walker is an Independent—and with about half the gubernatorial elections considered competitive, Republicans had the potential to increase their control to 36 governors’ mansions.
