  • The People Shaping the Trump Administration
    The People Shaping the Trump Administration Despite Running on a Pledge to ‘Drain the Swamp’ and Crack Down on Special Interests, Donald Trump Has Filled His Transition Team With Lobbyists and Others With Potential Conflicts November 16, 2016 – Donald Trump rode to the White House by raging about alleged rampant corruption in Washington and pledging to “drain the swamp.” Each of the five points in the ethics platform he issued in October focused on diminishing the influence of lobbyists.1 These included a promise to impose a five-year ban on former executive branch officials lobbying the federal government. Trump further promised to crack down on special interest-influence by expanding the definition of lobbyist to include consultants and others who trade on inside government information and expertise.2 But Trump’s nascent transition team, which will shape his administration, is swarming with lobbyists and other special interests. Many of the lobbyists are working for the transition on areas for which they currently are lobbying the federal government. Meanwhile, many of those who aren’t lobbyists appear to have potential conflicts of interest. Vice president-elect Mike Pence reportedly said on November 15 that the transition team would be purged of lobbyists, but the transition team has not made the point official.3 Even if true, that remedy would not address cases such as a defense contractor working on defense interests, or a lawyer for health care interests working on health care reform. Here are brief summaries of individuals who have been reported in the media as overseeing agencies or policies for Trump’s transition team.

  • The Voting Rights Act and Mississippi: 1965–2006
    THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT AND MISSISSIPPI: 1965–2006 ROBERT MCDUFF* INTRODUCTION Mississippi is the poorest state in the union. Its population is 36% black, the highest of any of the fifty states.1 Resistance to the civil rights movement was as bitter and violent there as anywhere. State and local of- ficials frequently erected obstacles to prevent black people from voting, and those obstacles were a centerpiece of the evidence presented to Con- gress to support passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.2 After the Act was passed, Mississippi’s government worked hard to undermine it. In its 1966 session, the state legislature changed a number of the voting laws to limit the influence of the newly enfranchised black voters, and Mississippi officials refused to submit those changes for preclearance as required by Section 5 of the Act.3 Black citizens filed a court challenge to several of those provisions, leading to the U.S. Supreme Court’s watershed 1969 de- cision in Allen v. State Board of Elections, which held that the state could not implement the provisions, unless they were approved under Section 5.4 Dramatic changes have occurred since then. Mississippi has the high- est number of black elected officials in the country. One of its four mem- bers in the U.S. House of Representatives is black. Twenty-seven percent of the members of the state legislature are black. Many of the local gov- ernmental bodies are integrated, and 31% of the members of the county governing boards, known as boards of supervisors, are black.5 * Civil rights and voting rights lawyer in Mississippi.

  • S&T Bancorp, Inc
    Proxy Statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF S&T BANCORP, INC.: Success comes from knowing who you are, what you do best, and doing it consistently while always remaining open to opportunities to grow and improve. Easy to say, not always easy to do, but that’s exactly what our team at S&T Bancorp accomplished once again in 2015. In fact, we finished the year with $67.1 million in net income, a new record for our bank. As always, we attribute our performance to traditional, long-held practices of good core banking, focused on placing people first. We know who we are - we build relationships one customer at a time. Loan and deposit growth remains our primary focus, while also carefully controlling operating and credit expenses. The ongoing low-interest rate environment remains a challenge for expanding our net interest income, but our steady organic growth helps to mitigate the impact. We know what we do best, and we do it consistently. Expansion into markets in southcentral Pennsylvania, northeast and central Ohio, and western New York State, bolstered by branch upgrades in our core western Pennsylvania footprint, provide opportunities to extend the S&T brand and grow business in new ways. We evaluate and act upon suitable opportunities to grow profitably and enhance shareholder value. So, driven by strong organic growth, combined with the successful merger with Integrity Bancshares, the expansion of loan production offices (LPO), and the installation of new technology-enhanced Innovation Centers, we have been able once again to offer healthy returns to our shareholders in 2015.

  • 2018-02-27 John C. Oliver
    2018-02-27 JOHN C. OLIVER Eric Lidji: Today is February 26, 2018. I’m Eric Lidji with Linda Boxx and we are interviewing John Oliver at his office, downtown. One of the first things that we’ve talked to people about is trying to get a sense of their interest in the outdoors generally because it does seem like a lot of people came to this project with a love of the outdoors. So, I was wondering if you could start by talking just a little bit about, maybe, your childhood in terms of hunting, fishing, being outdoors, biking, any of those sorts of things. John C. Oliver: Well, I’ve been an outdoors person as long as I can remember. Both my parents were and- so in all aspects of the outdoors, that’s my passion, whether it’s hunting, fishing, or camping, or canoeing, or, in the old days, white water rafting. It’s what I enjoy most of all in life. Eric Lidji: Did you enjoy on this side of the state? John C. Oliver: Yes, I grew up about 15 miles north of here. I went away to school – college – and the service, but other than that, I’ve been here. Eric Lidji: So, is that how you ended up at the Conservancy? John C. Oliver: Yeah. In 1970, I heard about the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, and through some friends, I was able to get a job. There was a new president came on board, Josh Wetzel, who was a good friend of Linda’s and mine.

  • RESEARCH PAPER “THE LAST ABORTION CLINIC” by Raney
    RESEARCH PAPER “THE LAST ABORTION CLINIC” By Raney Aronson Please note this is for internal use only – not to be published, as it has not been thoroughly fact checked. This information has been culled from original reporting done during research, newspaper articles/periodicals, and past interviews I conducted for “The Jesus Factor,” which we will undoubtedly choose to update for this film. Additionally, for purposes of this research paper, I have adopted the following terminology: pro life/ opponents of abortion or pro choice. There are many other terms used, and while pro life and pro choice are also politically motivated titles, they seem to be the best choices for now – later in the process, we should discuss what we want to use for the broadcast. The purpose of “The Last Abortion Clinic” is to explore abortion politics today by looking at both the national and the state level. National On a national level, the film will focus on the pro-life movement’s strategy to redefine when “life” and/or “personhood” begins with the eventual goal of undermining the ever-controversial 1973 Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade. William Saletan, the author of “Bearing Right: How Conservatives Won the Abortion War” told us, “what is key to understanding what’s different about abortion politics today is that the Conservative movement has successfully shifted the debate from a woman’s right to choose to the right of the fetus – in other words her ‘unborn child’s’ rights.” This means, in essence, he explains, “now there is a competition between the woman or her ‘unborn child’ in terms of rights – and if a fetus is ultimately defined as a person then abortion rights will most certainly be up for grabs.” Richard Land, in a 2004 interview, said, “we are trying to change the hearts and minds of Americans by talking about the unborn child as a person who deserves the same rights as all Americans, and by doing this we will capture the American spirit.” States With eight of nine U.S.

    American Enterprise Institute The Project on Fair Representation Edward Blum Visiting Fellow American Enterprise Institute 1150 Seventeenth St. NW Washington, DC 20036 202.862.5800 An Assessment of Voting Rights Progress in Mississippi Executive Summary By Edward Blum Of all the states of the South and all of the states subject to Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, Mississippi has had the longest journey from out of the darkness of segregation and racial subjugation. Early in the 1960s Mississippi had the lowest rates of black voter registration and participation maintained by the most unabashedly violent and vehement efforts to deny black suffrage. By the beginning of the 21st century, proportionally more blacks than whites were registered to vote in Mississippi, and for two decades Mississippi blacks have registered to vote at higher rates than African-Americans outside the South. Until recently Mississippi whites voted at higher rates than blacks, though the difference between the races has largely been eliminated as of 1998. Mississippi blacks often turn out at rates higher than blacks in the rest of the country. 1 Mississippi has the highest proportion black population of the United States, though the state has fewer African Americans than in New York City. With approximately 900 officials, blacks hold more public office in the Magnolia State than elsewhere, and a black person is more likely to be represented by or to get to vote for a black officeholder in Mississippi than anywhere else in the US. Since 1987, an African-American has represented the majority-black Delta congressional district. Black representation is approaching proportionality in the state House of Representatives, though the black proportion in the state Senate still lags.
