  • Brownback Picks Jacob Laturner As New State Treasurer Body
    Page 1 of 2 Brownback picks Jacob LaTurner as new state treasurer Brownback picks Jacob LaTurner as new state treasurer The Wichita Eagle (Kansas) April 18, 2017 Tuesday Copyright 2017 The Wichita Eagle All Rights Reserved Section: politics_government Length: 580 words Byline: Jonathan Shorman The Wichita Eagle Dateline: TOPEKA Body Sen. Jacob LaTurner of Pittsburg will be the new state treasurer, replacing Ron Estes, who won the 4th District congressional special election last week. In picking LaTurner, Gov. Sam Brownback chose someone who has been a reliably conservative vote in the Legislature. This session, LaTurner has sided with the governor on taxes and Medicaid. LaTurner's departure could alter the dynamics of the Senate, depending on who replaces him. Republican leaders in LaTurner's district will gather in the coming days to choose his successor. LaTurner will also be among the youngest statewide officials in Kansas at 29. "What I commit to Kansans is I'm going to surround myself with wonderful people and work very hard and Kansans are going to be able to receive quality services," LaTurner said. LaTurner called the position "humbling and exciting." He said he plans to run for a full term in 2018. The state treasurer manages a college savings program, runs an effort to return unclaimed property and provides general administrative oversight of state finances. The position typically attracts little controversy. While the state treasurer is elected, the governor has the power to appoint a new treasurer if the position is vacated. "I know Jake to be a fine man, a skilled public servant and a fiercely loyal Kansan," Brownback said.

  • VP MIKE PENCE at the GOP Convention Site in Charlotte, NC
    Aug 24, 2020 View in browser B Y JAKE SHERMAN , ANNA PALMER , GARRETT ROSS A N D E L I O K U N Presented by THE MESSAGE? … VP MIKE PENCE at the GOP convention site in Charlotte, N.C.: “We’re going to make America great again -- again.” Republicans officially nominated President DONALD TRUMP and PENCE for a second term today. THE PRESIDENT visited the site early this afternoon. “Think about your life just prior to the plague," he told the crowd. This week’s schedule and speakers THIS MORNING WAS YET ANOTHER PIECE OF EVIDENCE for the legion of political observers who believe some high-profile congressional hearings turn out to be a waste of time. MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE spent the morning lecturing Postmaster General LOUIS DEJOY about the USPS -- oftentimes without asking a single question. When they asked questions, they sometimes sounded like this: Do you believe you need to follow the law? Is your backup plan to be pardoned like Roger Stone, Rep. JIM COOPER (D-Tenn.) asked? Why are the Democrats out to get you, Rep. JIM JORDAN (R-Ohio) queried? Why doesn’t this hearing about the USPS include debate about the PPP -- it’s a “waste of time,” Rep. CHIP ROY (R-Texas) said. In addition, the hearing was riddled with technical difficulties. REP. STEPHEN LYNCH (D-Mass.) asked if DEJOY would replace removed sorting machines -- DEJOY said no, but they couldn’t get around to figuring out why, because LYNCH had used up all of his time. MEANWHILE, millions of Americans are wondering if their prescription drugs are going to get delivered, if their mail-in votes will actually be counted and what elected officials are actually doing to make their lives better in the middle of a pandemic and economic recession.

  • 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.

  • Usapp – American Politics and Policy Blog: Trump's Intransigence Won't
    USApp – American Politics and Policy Blog: Trump’s intransigence won’t change the election result. But it’s still dangerous for security and democracy. Page 1 of 2 Trump’s intransigence won’t change the election result. But it’s still dangerous for security and democracy. Despite the 2020 presidential election being called for now President-elect Joe Biden on Saturday, President Trump has refused to concede, and many in his administration are actively working to obstruct the transition to the Biden administration. Julie Norman writes that the actions of Trump and his enablers may have real consequences for the security of the country, and risk causing long lasting damage to many Americans’ trust in the electoral system. Trump’s refusal to concede the 2020 presidential election shouldn’t come as a surprise, and President-Elect Biden’s team is right to project calm, de-escalate the tension, and push forward with transition plans. While Trump is within his rights to request recounts in states within certain thresholds, these are not expected to change any outcomes, and all claims of widespread voter fraud remain unsubstantiated with multiple lawsuits already thrown out. But even if it’s acknowledged by many across the political spectrum that the outcome of the election won’t change, his intransigence does raise significant concerns for American democracy and security. It is tempting to see Trump’s tweets and comments as pure noise and bluster. As one Trump senior aide commented, there is seemingly little harm in humouring Trump for this period before the electoral votes are counted by Congress on 14 December.

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.

During his two-day visit in Ireland earlier this week, Vice President Pence stayed at the Trump International Hotel in Doonbeg and "[flew] the hour-or-so into Dublin [on the other side of Ireland] for official meetings," rather than staying at a hotel in Dublin a short drive away.2 The Vice President's chief of staff indicated that the President encouraged the Vice President to stay at his hotel, telling him, "[Y]ou should stay at my place."3 The Vice President's decision to trek across country is "clearly not convenient.

    The Honorable Debbie Stabenow The Honorable Pat Roberts Ranking Member Chairman U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Nutrition and Forestry United States Senate – Michigan United States Senate – Kansas Hart SOB, Washington, DC 20510 Hart SOB Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Collin Peterson The Honorable Mike Conaway Ranking Member Chairman House Committee on Agriculture House Committee on Agriculture United States House of Representatives – United States House of Representatives – Minnesota – 7th Texas – 11th RHOB, Washington, DC 20515 RHOB, Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Stabenow, Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Peterson: Last week, House and Senate conference committee members convened to begin deliberations on the final provisions contained in the 2018 Farm Bill. In an August letter addressed to House and Senate Committee leadership, California’s anti-hunger community urged all conference committee members to protect and strengthen the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and oppose any provisions that cut or reduce aid to the 40 million Americans, including the 4 million Californians, who use SNAP to put food on the table and make ends meet. Over the last year, California’s anti-hunger community has consistently advocated for a strong, unified Farm Bill that addresses hunger for our nation’s low-income communities, reauthorizes vital food and farming programs, and strengthens essential anti-hunger programs like SNAP. We believe that the final conference report should reflect the Senate’s approach to strengthen and invest in SNAP and reject the House bill (H.R.2) which would worsen hunger and hardship by taking food benefits from 2 million Americans, including working families, children, seniors and other vulnerable populations.
