Dan Ortiz, I-Ketchikan, fielded a public hearing at the Ted Ferry Civic Center as part of the House Finance Committee's ef - forts to hear from Alaskans about Gov. Mike Dunleavy's proposed budget. About 150 people floated in and out of the nearly two-and-a-half-hour event which focused on the opportu - nity to comment on the cost of a Alaska Permanent Fund dividend for 2019. Dunleavy's proposed budget in - volves about $1.6 billion in cuts and revenue transfers. He has proposed cuts to a plethora of essential services including health, education and the Alaska Marine Highway System. Ortiz presented three slides before the start of public comment. One of the slides showed how much the budget needed to be cut to have a $3,000, $1,600 or a $630 PFD. For a $3,000 PFD, the Legislature would need to find $1.5 billion in cuts. To maintain this year’s funding without increases for health - care or inflation, there would be $400 million left over for PFDs, a payout of $630, according to information pro - vided at the hearing. "Ultimately the decision this year really is what (services) do we add back and what are we willing to add back at the expense of the $3,000 PFD," said Ortiz. Nearly 50 people gave testimony, in - cluding both the city and borough mayors. Most people spoke in favor of a reduced PFD in exchange Town celebrates champions’ return for maintaining services.

  • Officials Say Flynn Discussed Sanctions
    Officials say Flynn discussed sanctions The Washington Post February 10, 2017 Friday, Met 2 Edition Copyright 2017 The Washington Post All Rights Reserved Distribution: Every Zone Section: A-SECTION; Pg. A08 Length: 1971 words Byline: Greg Miller;Adam Entous;Ellen Nakashima Body Talks with Russia envoy said to have occurred before Trump took office National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country's ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials, current and former U.S. officials said. Flynn's communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election. Flynn on Wednesday denied that he had discussed sanctions with Kislyak. Asked in an interview whether he had ever done so, he twice said, "No." On Thursday, Flynn, through his spokesman, backed away from the denial. The spokesman said Flynn "indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn't be certain that the topic never came up." Officials said this week that the FBI is continuing to examine Flynn's communications with Kislyak. Several officials emphasized that while sanctions were discussed, they did not see evidence that Flynn had an intent to convey an explicit promise to take action after the inauguration. Flynn's contacts with the ambassador attracted attention within the Obama administration because of the timing.

LEGAL DILEMMAS FACING WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION: THE COSTS OF PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF FISA REQUESTS Peter Margulies* INTRODUCTION Not every presidential administration can forge a new brand of government lawyering. Historically, government lawyering has swung between two poles: (1) dialogic lawyering, which stresses reasoned elaboration, respect for institutions, and continuity with unwritten norms embodied in past practice; and (2) insular lawyering, which entails opaque definitions, disregard of other institutions, and departures from unwritten norms.1 Because President Trump regularly signals his disdain for institutions, such as the intelligence community, and unwritten norms, such as prosecutorial independence,2 senior lawyers in the White House have added a new mode of legal representation that entails ad hoc adjustments to President Trump’s mercurial decisions and triage among the presidential decisions they will try to temper.

Begun in 1998, the White House Transition Project provides information about individual offices for staff coming into the White House to help streamline the process of transition from one administration to the next. A nonpartisan, nonprofit group, the WHTP brings together political science scholars who study the presidency and White House operations to write analytical pieces on relevant topics about presidential transitions, presidential appointments, and crisis management. Since its creation, it has participated in the 2001, 2005, 2009, 2013, 2017, and now the 2021. WHTP coordinates with government agencies and other non-profit groups, e.g., the US National Archives or the Partnership for Public Service. It also consults with foreign governments and organizations interested in improving governmental transitions, worldwide. See the project at http://whitehousetransitionproject.org The White House Transition Project produces a number of materials, including: • WHITE HOUSE OFFICE ESSAYS: Based on interviews with key personnel who have borne these unique responsibilities, including former White House Chiefs of Staff; Staff Secretaries; Counsels; Press Secretaries, etc. , WHTP produces briefing books for each of the critical White House offices. These briefs compile the best practices suggested by those who have carried out the duties of these office.

Barr Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530 Dear Attorney General Barr: Your testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday raised a number of very serious concerns about your understanding of your role in our government, your commitment to the rule of law and your fitness to continue leading the Department of Justice. Among the many disturbing things you said, I was particularly troubled by your statement that if the president feels an investigation "is based on false allegations, the president does not have to sit there constitutionally and allow it to run its course. The president could terminate that proceeding and not have it be corrupt intent because he was being falsely accused." If this idea is how our nation is governed, we will no longer be the democracy Americans think we are. I understood from the memorandum you sent to Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein in June of 2018 that you subscribe to a philosophy in which the executive is exalted above the other co­ equal branches of government. But this was the first time I had heard you articulate, as Attorney General, this starkly extremist view. Such a statement, in my view - and I believe most Americans would agree - shows complete disregard for the carefully-designed system of checks and balances the Framers enshrined in our Constitution. If these views are truly your views, you do not deserve to be Attorney General.
