  • Letter to Non-Agreement State Governors from Chairman Meserve Re
    June 6, 2002 The Honorable Tony Knowles Governor of Alaska P.O. Box 110001 Juneau, Alaska 99811 Dear Governor Knowles: I am writing on behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to inform you of actions which the NRC intends to take to enhance physical protection measures for the transportation of large quantities of radioactive material and spent nuclear fuel. I am requesting your cooperation and assistance in carrying out these actions. The Commission has directed the NRC staff to develop immediately effective Orders that impose additional physical protection measures on shipments of large quantities of radioactive material and spent nuclear fuel for transport by highway or rail. The Commission has concluded that these enhancements are necessary in the current threat environment. The content of the Orders will be modeled on the transportation advisories that NRC issued on November 8 and revised on December 13, 2001, which were provided to you through your State Liaison Officer. The NRC is taking this action pursuant to its authority under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, to protect the common defense and security. Because this authority has not been relinquished to Agreement States, the-NRC will be issuing the Orders to both NRC licensees and to licensees of Agreement States who possess, receive, or ship large quantities of radioactive material. Orders will be issued to licensees who have shipped large quantities of radioactive material within the last two years or who intend to ship in the near term. In addition, we will communicate with other licensees not receiving an Order informing them to contact the NRC before shipping large quantities of radioactive materials.

ISLAND ARTSCAPE OF BANKRUPTCY: A NARRATIVE PHOTO-ESSAY OF SAN JUAN’S POLITICAL STREET ART OF RESISTANCE Medio: Fotografía Andrea D. Rivera Martínez Departamento de Psicología Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, UPR RP Recibido: 15/09/2020; Revisado: 16/11/2020; Aceptado: 29/11/2020 Abstract Since 2016, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has experienced a period of political challenges along with a severe economic austerity. Given the unpromising projections, voices of resistance, anger, frustration, uncertainty, and hope are becoming increasingly visible on the island’s cities’ walls and spaces. Thus, based on the current situation of fiscal crisis, this visual essay narrates and documents the continuum of interpretations and opinions regarding the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) inscribed in the urban fabric over the past five years from now. Keywords: street art, bankruptcy, fiscal crisis, austerity, Puerto Rico Resumen Desde el 2016, el Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico experimenta un período de desafíos políticos junto con una severa austeridad económica. Dadas las proyecciones, las voces de resistencia, ira, frustración, incertidumbre y esperanza son cada vez más visibles en las paredes y espacios de las ciudades de la isla. Por tanto, dada la situación actual de crisis fiscal, este ensayo visual narra y documenta el continuo de interpretaciones y opiniones sobre la Ley de Supervisión, Gestión y Estabilidad Económica de Puerto Rico (PROMESA) inscritas en el tejido urbano durante los últimos cinco años.

  • Joint Project on Term Limits 2004
    Kansas: A Retro Approach to Lawmaking By Michael A. Smith, The University of Kansas Brenda Erickson, National Conference of State Legislatures Joint Project on Term Limits 2004 National Conference of State Legislatures Council of State Governments State Legislative Leaders’ Foundation 7700 East First Place Denver, CO 80230-7143 (303) 364-7700 • fax (303) 364-7800 444 North Capitol Street, N.W., Suite 515 Washington, D.C. 20001 (202) 624-5400 • fax (202) 737-1069 http://www.ncsl.org © 2005 by the National Conference of State Legislatures. All rights reserved. Introduction Among the fifty state legislatures, Kansas’s might be termed a retro approach to governing. The state lacks the petition initiative, and therefore it also lacks many of the complicating factors that have changed governance in many other U.S. states. Kansas has no citizen-initiated tax cap such as California’s Proposition 13, Colorado’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or Missouri’s Hancock Amendment. Furthermore, the state still maintains a citizen legislature with low pay, limited staff, and short sessions. And finally, Kansas does not have term limits on its legislators. The legislative process in Kansas has changed recently to accommodate a more-complex government, a changing political climate, and the advent of new information technology. But overall, Kansas’s Legislature has not changed radically in its functioning during the past ten years. Kansas is unlikely to have legislative term limits anytime in the foreseeable future. Because the Sunflower State lacks the petition initiative, the only way to pass such a policy in the state would be for the legislators themselves to send voters a constitutional amendment limiting their own terms—an unlikely prospect, especially given the near-universal disdain for term limits expressed by legislators during our interviews.

  • The Honorable Giovanni Capriglione Texas House of Representatives P.O
    The Honorable Giovanni Capriglione Texas House of Representatives P.O. Box 2910 Austin, TX 78768 April 7, 2021 Dear Chairman Capriglione, The 87th session of the Texas Legislature is more than half-over. The business community in Texas appreciates how you and your colleagues are working long hours to help the Texas economy recover from the economic, social and health impacts of COVID-19 and winter storm Uri, balance our state budget without new taxes, reduce frivolous lawsuits, create a statewide broadband plan, and improve Texas schools and workforce. The Texas business community is bullish in regard to our state leadership and the success of this legislative session. There is significant concern among Texas businesses about efforts to regulate the data privacy practices of private enterprises, specifically HB 3741 and HB 4164 which have been filed by Representative Giovanni Capriglione. Similar efforts have been undertaken in California and Europe, creating enormous regulatory and financial challenges, a burden that has fallen on small and medium sized businesses. A study commissioned by the California Office of the Attorney General found that “[t]he total cost of initial compliance with the CCPA, which constitutes the vast majority of compliance efforts, is approximately $55 billion. This is equivalent to approximately 1.8% of California Gross State Product in 2018.” In Europe, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) caused many smaller web sites and companies to stop offering services or to shut down completely. On behalf of thousands of businesses from across Texas and the entire country, we respectfully request that state leaders refrain from efforts to mandate business data privacy policies over the next 54 days of session.

The first section examines the location of the members of the Texas Senate and of the Texas House on the liberal-conservative dimension along which legislative politics takes place in Austin. In both chambers, every Republican is more conservative than every Democrat and every Democrat is more liberal than every Republican. There does, however, exist substantial ideological diversity within the respective Democratic and Republican delegations in each chamber. The second section explores the extent to which each senator and each representative was on the winning side of the non-lopsided final passage votes (FPVs) on which they voted.
