  • An Ambitious New Plan Offers Delta Water and Economic Hope for the San Joaquin Valley
    August 12, 2020 Western Edition Volume 2, Number 30 An ambitious new plan offers Delta water and economic hope for the San Joaquin valley The San Joaquin Valley is bracing for the economic impacts to come from implementing the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act over the next 20 years. Without changes, the regulation could lead to more than a million acres of fallowing and as much as $7 billion in lost revenues every year, with the worst financial impacts rippling down to California’s most disadvantaged communities, according to a report released earlier this year. With this reality, a coalition has emerged around a complex and ambitious approach to bring water to the valley, one that could head off the A new plan takes a different approach to Delta water flows. (Photo of the Sacramento Delta, courtesy of the Department of Water worst effects of SGMA for farmers, the Resources) environment and communities. “We've already started,” said Scott Hamilton, an agricultural economist who works as a consultant for the coalition known as the Water Blueprint for the San Joaquin Valley. “But it’s a process that's going to take quite a bit of time and is fairly difficult.” During a Fresno State seminar series on water infrastructure on Tuesday, Hamilton outlined a sweeping new approach that would pull excess flows from the Delta through a fish-friendly alternative to pumping, then funnel that water through new extensions to existing canals and store it using strategic groundwater recharge projects. “None of it is cheap,” warned Hamilton. “We are now looking at around a $9-billion program for the valley.” 1 He acknowledged the success of the plan hinges on one critical leap of faith: gaining approval from environmental and social justice groups to pull more water from the Delta.

    NOVEMBER 2004 New Poll Released Director’s Search Begins Justice Scalia Visits the Forum Nader Visits the Forum Skirting Tradition Released Campaign 2004 Comes to Harvard Hundreds of students attend a Debate Watch in the JFK Jr. Forum Welcome to the Institute of Politics at Harvard University P HIL S HARP , I NTERIM D IRECTOR I was thrilled to return to the Institute of Politics for the fall 2004 semes- ter while a new long-term director is recruited. As a former IOP Director (1995-1998), I jumped at the chance to return to such a special place at an important time. This summer, IOP Director Dan Glickman, Harvard students, and IOP staff went into high gear to mobilize, inspire, and engage young people in politics and the electoral process. • We hosted events for political powerbrokers during the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. • We are working to ensure all Harvard voices are heard at the polls through our dynamic and effective H-VOTE campus vote pro- gram, as well as coordinating the voter education and mobilization activities of nearly 20 other schools across America, part of our National Campaign for Political and Civic Engagement. • Our Resident Fellows this semester are an impressive group. They bring experiences from media, to managing campaigns, to the Middle East. See inside for more information on our exciting fellows. • A survey we conducted with The Chronicle of Higher Education found that most of America’s college campuses are politically active, but 33% of schools fail to meet federal requirements facili- tating voter registration opportunities for students.

J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea. 'The term "aoft money" as ueed in this Complaint means funds,that would not be lawful for use in connection with any federal election (e.g., corporate or labor organization treasury funds, contributions in excess of the relevant contribution limit for federal elections). THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

  • Mike Pompeo - Sourcewatch
    10/22/2020 Mike Pompeo - SourceWatch Mike Pompeo Michael Richard Pompeo was nominated for U.S. Secretary of State by President Donald Trump on March 13, 2018, after Trump fired former Exxon executive Rex Tillerson. Previously, Pompeo was the director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and former Representative of Kansas's 4th Congressional District, where the global headquarters of Koch Industries is located. While serving as a Congressman, the Huffington Post described the Tea Party Republican as "the Koch brothers' point man in the House."[1] Koch Industries and its employees Follow the money in the Koch wiki was Pompeo's largest contributor in each of his campaigns. (http://www.kochexposed.org). Pompeo was tapped by President Donald Trump to be the Director of the CIA on November 18, 2016. He was confirmed by the Senate 66-32 on January 23, 2017 and sworn in that night.[2] Pompeo's first company, Thayer, was an investment company funded in part by Koch Venture Capital. Pompeo’s second company, Sentry, was tied to a Brazilian division of Koch Industries. Pompeo’s financial history and ties to the billionaire Koch brothers have not been fully publicly vetted because he has only faced one significant but limited electoral challenge. Born in 1963, Pompeo grew up in Orange County, California, heavily influenced by Ayn Rand. He was recommended for the U.S. Military Academy by his Mike Pompeo Congressman, “B-1 Bob” Dornan. In 1986, Pompeo studied mechanical engineering and graduated first in his class at West Point. He served five years on active duty, the minimum required by military academies, primarily in Germany, earning the rank of Captain.

  • A Bipartisan Blueprint
    COMMISSION ON POLITICAL REFORM Governing in a Polarized America: A Bipartisan Blueprint to Strengthen our Democracy This report is the product of the BPC Commission on Political Reform with participants of diverse expertise and affiliations, addressing many complex and contentious topics. It is inevitable that arriving at a consensus document in these circumstances entailed compromises. Accordingly, it should not be assumed that every member is entirely satisfied with every formulation in this document, or even that all participants would agree with any given recommendation if it were taken in isolation. Rather, this group reached consensus on these recommendations as a package.

    North Fork Siuslaw LMP Appendix F, Table F-2 (cont.) Appendix F, Table F-2 Continued The following attachments from Dick Artley represent opposing views, with various themes: Attachment 1-timber harvest activities (p. 1), attachment 4-roads (p. 69), attachment 8-fire benefits (p. 125), attachment 9-use of glyphosate (p. 155), attachment 11-wildland-urban fire (p. 259), attachment 15-best science (p. 281), and attachment 18-herbicide label directions (p. 295). All these attachments are included in this document, and are a considered a continuation of Appendix F, Table F-2. After each opposing view in each attachment, a Forest Service (FS) response is included. Opposing Views Attachment #1 Scientists Reveal the Natural Resources in the Forest are Harmed (and some destroyed) by Timber Harvest Activities Note to the Responsible Official who reads these opposing views: There are negative effects caused by nearly all actions … this includes the actions necessary to harvest trees. The public deserves to consider projects proposed to occur on their land with the knowledge of the pros and cons of the project. The Responsible Official will find that none of the literature sources for the opposing views is specific to this project. Information contained in books and/or scientific prediction literature is never specific to individual projects. They describe cause and effects relationships that exist when certain criteria are met … at any location under the vast majority of landscape characteristics. Indeed, the literature in the References section of the draft NEPA document for this project is not specific to the project yet its used to help design this project.
