  • Most Influential: Kevin Faulconer ... and the Rest of the List
    » Newsletter Sign­Up About Advertising Contact Enter your email... Subscribe Most Influential: Kevin Faulconer ... And the rest of the list Our City is ending our list of San Diego's 20 Most Influential people with new Mayor Kevin Faulconer. He has become San Diego's Most Influential person. When we began compiling this list back at the end of 2013, the race to replace disgraced former Mayor Bob Filner was ongoing and it was unknown who would be leading the city. Now, of course, we know. Faulconer won easily over his opponent, freshman Council member David Alvarez. Faulconer won, but the honor brings its share of hurdles. First is continuing the work that interim Mayor Todd Gloria started, which is to bring stability and honor back to the office. Secondly, it is to lead the nation's eighth largest city at a time when many challenges face it, such as infrastructure woes, homelessness, a shortage of affordable housing, income inequality … Faulconer has stepped quickly into his new role. He's already spearheaded a number of initiatives to improve San Diego's neighborhoods, increase library and rec center hours and beef up public safety. He named Shelley Zimmerman as police chief, the first women in San Diego to hold that post. When the recent wildfires hit, he offered a calm and measured presence. His influence may well go beyond San Diego as well. He's the only Republican mayor of a major U.S. city. Other Republican politicians may look to his rise as a blueprint to achieve similar success. Recent Highlights He did so by taking a moderate approach on social issues.

  • September 18, 2018 Democracy Reform Task Force Rep
    � -.· ,.. ..7 1, . � � SEPTEMBER 18, 2018 DEMOCRACY REFORM TASK FORCE REP. JOHN SARBANES, CHAIR President Donald J. Trump campaigned on a promise to “drain the swamp” in Washington. He vowed that as President he would take steps to break the “cycle of corruption” and end “decades of special interest dealing,” 1 and he pledged to aggressively pursue meaningful reforms to improve transparency and accountability in government. 2 But President Trump has broken this promise to the American people. Specifically, the Trump Administration has: • Made a Mockery of Ethics Law and Regulation • Promoted a Culture of Secrecy in the Executive Branch • Stacked His Cabinet with Big Money Campaign Donors • Installed a Special-Interest Revolving Door into the Trump White House • Put Big Money Ahead of the Public Interest • Turned the Presidency into a Profit-Making Enterprise • Pursued Public Policy for Trump’s Personal Benefit • Raided the Treasury to Pay for Vacation & Private Business Promotion As President Trump marks his 600th day in office, this report – the sixth edition in the Democracy Reform Task Force’s series of “100 Ways” oversight reports – lists 600 ways that the Trump Administration has broken its campaign promises. Here are all of the examples. 1 Donald J. Trump Campaign. “Trump Pledged to Drain the Swamp and Impose Congressional Term Limits.” October 18, 2016. 2 Ibid President Trump’s “Ethics” Executive Order was supposed to “drain the swamp.” As this exhaustive list shows, the Executive Order was just another example of President Trump’s tendency to overpromise and underdeliver. We have continued to witness the Administration openly flouting ethics regulations and conflict-of-interest law to an unprecedented degree.

  • Report on Possible Misconduct in the Nomination of Doug Manchester to Ambassador of the Bahamas, and Others
    Report on Possible Misconduct in the Nomination of Doug Manchester to Ambassador of the Bahamas, and Others Possible Violation of the Law Did President Trump violate the Foreign Service Act or federal statute prohibiting bribery of public officials by nominating major donors to ambassadorship posts? Did his administration engage in a federal pay-for-play scheme, nominating those who promised to donate more money? What possible charges could be investigated? Introduction Among the many powers granted to the president in the Constitution is the power to appoint men and women to serve as ambassadors to foreign nations.1 The Senate then reviews and affirms (or rejects) these presidential appointees.2 The president has extraordinarily wide latitude in selecting his representatives to foreign nations: there are no specifically iterated requirements that political appointees for ambassador, no foreign service that an appointee must have performed.3 In fact, no prior experience with foreign relations is required to be appointed as a U.S. ambassador. Although the majority of ambassadors are career diplomats, it is a long- standing practice for presidents to allot some portion of favorable diplomatic posts to political and personal allies.4 And this power has historically been used as a way to reward top donors: many large donors may hope that the greater their donation (or the greater the sum of the donations they ‘bundle’ and raise on behalf of the president), the greater their chances of a diplomatic post overseas.5 Although the practice of paying for public posts is unappealing, it is also bipartisan.6 And presidents from both parties have largely skirted consequences, either political or legal, for this practice, largely because it hinges on unspoken understandings: the donations are not explicitly transactional, and posts are not promised for a certain price tag.

  • Gay Labeling and Defamation Law: Have Attitudes Toward Homosexuality Changed Enough to Modify Reputational Torts?
    Gay Labeling and Defamation Law: Have Attitudes Toward Homosexuality Changed Enough to Modify Reputational Torts? Robert D. Richardst I. INTRODUCTION In the summer of 2009, when Sacha Baron Cohen launched his film charac- ter, Bruno--"a flamboyantly gay Austrian fashionista"'-the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation ("GLAAD") quickly pounced on the quirky comic's antics, saying they "hit the gay community pretty hard and reinforce some damaging, hurtful stereotypes."2 The movie was released in the midst of an ongoing national, often fiery, debate over whether gays and lesbians ought to have the same rights to marry as heterosexuals As the Washington Times reported, "[t]he 2008 election was a success for nearly every segment of the Democratic coalition, with one stark exception: gay rights advocates."' The newspaper noted that the historic election sidelined supporters of gay rights: t John & Ann Curley Professor of First Amendment Studies and Founding Director of the Pennsylvania Center for the First Amendment at The Pennsylvania State University.

Savage, Gay Marriage Fight Triggers Privacy Battle, BOSTON GLOBE, Oct. 26, 2009, at A6. The article reported that "[t]he fierce fight over same-sex mar- riage is creating pressure to recognize a new free-speech right that could keep public records secret." Specifically, gay-rights activists "sought to use public records to expose supporters of antigay measures," prompting lawsuits to stop them.
