Speakers Biographies New Mexico Tax Research Institute Ninth Annual Tax Policy Conference – May 3 - 4, 2012 Roberton Williams Roberton Williams has analyzed tax issues for more than two decades, as a principal analyst and then deputy assistant director for tax policy at the Congressional Budget Office and, since 2006, at the Tax Policy Center. His research has focused primarily on the federal individual income tax but his interests span the full array of tax policies and the federal budget. Among his many papers are studies of the alternative minimum tax (AMT), the estate tax, health insurance, approaches to cutting or raising taxes, and the distribution of income. At the Tax Policy Center, he has directed annual analyses of the president's budget proposals, creation of TPC's Tax Policy Briefing Book, and redesigning TPC's website. Williams is a regular source for reporters seeking information about tax and budget policy and has appeared frequently on television news programs and both national and local radio shows. His work has been cited broadly in diverse outlets ranging from the New York Times to the Daily Show. Kim Reuben Kim Rueben is an expert on state and local public finance and the economics of education. Her research examines state and local tax policy, fiscal institutions, state and local budgets, issues of education finance and teacher labor markets. Current projects include work on state budget shortfalls, financing options for California, the fiscal health of cities and examining higher education tax credits and grants. In addition to her position at TPC, Rueben is an adjunct fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) and a member of the Strategic Planning Group of the Center for the Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER). Prior to joining the Urban Institute, Rueben was a research fellow at the PPIC. She has served as an adjunct professor at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute and the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley, a visiting scholar at the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank, and a member of the executive board of the American Education Finance Association. Charles Sallee Deputy Director, Legislative Finance Committee Mr. Sallee has worked for the LFC for over six years conducting and overseeing program evaluations of state agencies, and public and higher education. Notable work includes evaluations that have led to major policy changes or cost savings in the areas of Medicaid, higher education, adult and juvenile corrections, and public schools. Prior to returning home to New Mexico, Mr. Sallee worked for the Texas legislature, including performing sunset reviews of state agencies to determine their ongoing need. Notable work included projects that led to an overhaul of the workers’ compensation system and streamlining workforce development services. In addition to policy and accountability work, Mr. Sallee has practical experience in health and human services, including providing direct services to people with disabilities and abused children. Mr. Sallee is from Las Cruces and earned a BSW from New Mexico State University and MSW-Administration from Texas State University-San Marcos. Tom Clifford, PhD.

  • A Business Lawyer's Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read
    585 A Business Lawyer’s Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read Robert C. Illig Introduction There exists today in America’s libraries and bookstores a superb if underappreciated resource for those interested in teaching or learning about business law. Academic historians and contemporary financial journalists have amassed a huge and varied collection of books that tell the story of how, why and for whom our modern business world operates. For those not currently on the front line of legal practice, these books offer a quick and meaningful way in. They help the reader obtain something not included in the typical three-year tour of the law school classroom—a sense of the context of our practice. Although the typical law school curriculum places an appropriately heavy emphasis on theory and doctrine, the importance of a solid grounding in context should not be underestimated. The best business lawyers provide not only legal analysis and deal execution. We offer wisdom and counsel. When we cast ourselves in the role of technocrats, as Ronald Gilson would have us do, we allow our advice to be defined downward and ultimately commoditized.1 Yet the best of us strive to be much more than legal engineers, and our advice much more than a mere commodity. When we master context, we rise to the level of counselors—purveyors of judgment, caution and insight. The question, then, for young attorneys or those who lack experience in a particular field is how best to attain the prudence and judgment that are the promise of our profession. For some, insight is gained through youthful immersion in a family business or other enterprise or experience.

In the United States, it’s diffi - cult to pinpoint the cause, yet Donald Trump appears to have become the poster president. David Ricci, in this call to arms, thinks Trump is symptomatic of a myriad of changes that have caused a crisis among Americans – namely, mass economic and creative destruction: automation, outsourcing, deindustrialization, globalization, priva- tization, fi nancialization, digitalization, and the rise of temporary jobs – all breeding resentment, which then breeds populism. Rather than dwelling on symptoms, Ricci focuses on the root of our nation’s problems. Thus, creative destruction, aiming at perpetual economic growth, encouraged by neoliberalism, creates the economic inequality that fuels resentment and leads to increased populism, putting democracy at risk.

  • PDF Vol 1 History
    Comments of Present and Former Colleagues and Graduate Students on This Book “What a completely wonderful, beautiful book! I look forward to reading it. I was really moved by the inscription you wrote. Thank you so much. It is hard for me to believe, but I am now the most senior member of the department. I’m doing my best to keep the spirit of intellectual pluralism and adventurousness alive, but sometimes it is hard given all of the pressures the department is under. Your book, I think, will do much to remind people of values and spirit which have sustained us.” - Erik Wright, colleague, University of Wisconsin (deceased Jan. 22, 2019) “I have recently joined what I suspect are the exclusive ranks of those who have read the entirety of your 1200 plus page colossal, encyclopedic history of the UW Sociology Department (and its Rural Sociology and Anthropology offspring). When I embarked on the Political Science history, I tracked down most of the dozen or so departmental histories then in existence; I can attest that none of them re- motely compare to yours in their scope, the richness of their detail, or the extraor- dinary scope of the research that you undertook. The accomplishment becomes all the more impressive if, as you suggest in the foreword, you were entirely on your own in this venture, and did not have the funding that I did to hire several research assistants. The amount of material you gathered, and the rich biographical de- tail you provide about the generations of Department faculty as well as many of the graduate students is truly breathtaking.

    Vol. 64 • Núm 2 • abril - junio 2003 CONSTITUTIONAL SEPARATION AND THE FORAKER ACT: HOW THEY INFLUENCED PUERTO RICO’S TAX REFORM FROM 1898-1901 AND LED TO THE ADOPTION OF THE IMPORT EXCISE AND PROPERTY TAX i 34 CONSTITUTIONAL SEPARATION AND THE FORAKER ACT... Constitutional Separation and the Foraker Act: how they influenced Puerto Rico’s tax reform from 1898-1901 and led to the adoption of the import excise and property tax1 Paul Salamone2 “History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illumines real- ity, vitalizes memory [and] provides guidance in daily life...” Cicero - Pro Publio Sestio. Introduction Thomas Carlyle once observed that “history is the essence of innumerable biographies”3. While H.G Wells remarked that human history is “in essence a history of ideas.”4 Puerto Rico’s constitutional future was certainly influenced by both men and ideas and historical circumstances. The period of 1898-1901 was marked by the Spanish-American War, the deadly Hurricane San Ciriaco of 1899 and electoral and protectionist concerns in Congress. They undoubtedly provide depth, color and a setting to this momentous turning point in Puerto Rico’s history. Puerto Rico’s current fiscal structure and constitutional underpinnings hark back to the Spanish American War of 1898 and the historical developments that occurred during the period from 1898-1901. The individuals caught in this drama were many, but the influence exerted by President McKinley, Elihu Root, Secre- tary of War, J.H. Hollander, Puerto Rico’s first Treasurer under the Foraker Act, Governor Charles H. Allen, first civil governor under the Foraker Act, Governor W.

Dissertations (2009 -). Paper 68. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/68 WHAT LIES BENEATH; UNCOVERING THE HEALTH OF MILWAUKEE’S PEOPLE, 1880-1929 by Brigitte M. Charaus, B.A., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2010 ABSTRACT WHAT LIES BENEATH; UNCOVERING THE HEALTH OF MILWAUKEE’S PEOPLE, 1880-1929 Brigitte M. Charaus, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2010 The true measure of a city's health is the health of its people. To truly understand how Milwaukee came to be known as the “healthiest city” in 1930, one must examine the health needs of common Milwaukeeans from 1880 to 1929. This study seeks to complement Judith Leavitt's pioneering work on public health in Milwaukee by presenting a picture, not of the politics of health reform, but of the personal side of health in the city. Through an extensive examination of records including, but not limited to, coroner's reports, hospital records, personal correspondence, newspapers, cemetery data, and institutional records, a picture of the overall health of the city's population emerges. These records speak of the urban environment and its effects on everyday people. Communicable diseases, tragic accidents, suicides, physical examinations, venereal diseases, housing problems, and occupational hazards are only a portion of the health story that Milwaukee created at the turn of the last century.
