Background: The "Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (PL 106- 393)" expired December 3 1, 2006. This federal legislation established a six-year payment formula for counties, such as Placer, that receive revenue sharing payments for the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands. Based on historical timber receipts, the formula established a stable source of revenue to be used for education, county roads and various other county services and programs in rural areas. During this six-year period, the amount of this funding to Placer County totaled nearly $9.9 million.

Skirting campaign finance laws. Adultery and sexual harassment. CREW has spent the past five years shining a spotlight on the extensive violations of the public trust committed by members of Congress. After publishing five “Most Corrupt Members of Congress” reports, it’s clear that the system for holding accountable those members of Congress who sacrifice the public interest for special interests is not working. Whether members take bribes, violate gift rules, or flout campaign finance regulations, those charged with enforcement look the other way. Over the past five years, CREW has uncovered more than 425 instances of potential violations of ethics rules by no fewer than 56 members of Congress. Of those, 37 members have never been investigated by any of the congressional ethics bodies, and 26 “Most Corrupt” members continue to serve in Congress. Because of that, this year, CREW is naming the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to its “Most Corrupt” list, for standing by and allowing members of Congress to break the rules with impunity.

    DO NOT DELETE 6/2/2010 12:44:45 PM DON’T JUST MAKE REDISTRICTERS MORE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE, MAKE THEM THE PEOPLE STEVEN F. HUEFNER* I. INTRODUCTION The title of this panel, “Is There a Way to Design an Apolitical Redistricting Process?,” invites a focus on the question of possibility. Of course, a threshold and related question is the desirability of having an apolitical redistricting process. Indeed, a rich and expanding literature exists about whether or not “independent” redistricting is desirable.1 This essay, however, will offer some thoughts primarily about the practical possibility of designing an apolitical redistricting process, intertwined as that question may be with the question of its desirability. At the outset it is important to define what “apolitical” redistricting means, because in common usage it can signify at least two quite different things in this context: (1) redistricting that is not allowed to intentionally promote the broader partisan political interests of those controlling the redistricting; or (2) redistricting done without any awareness of or concern for the partisan political balance of the electorate of the resulting districts.2 The first meaning entails a * Professor of Law and Senior Fellow of Election Law @ Moritz, The Ohio State University Michael E.
