  • Philadelphians' Efforts to Create a Green, Sustainable City Are
    http://weeklypress.com/print_this_story.asp?smenu=1&sdetail=1332 7/14/09 9:56 AM Philadelphians’ efforts to create a green, sustainable city are beginning to bear fruit By Raymond Simon | On April 29, Mayor Michael Nutter released "Greenworks Philadelphia," his framework for transforming Philadelphia into America’s greenest city. Then, on May 15, the Energy Coordinating Agency graduated its first class of low-skilled workers retrained for green-collar jobs. Philadelphia’s initial attempts to transform itself have been so successful that United States Representatives Robert Brady, Chaka Fattah and Allyson Schwartz would like them to serve as a model for towns and cities across America. Consequently, they convened a congressional field hearing entitled "Vibrant Communities, Healthy Waters, and Job Opportunities" on Monday, May 18 at the Academy of Natural Sciences. A congressional field hearing is loosely defined as any congressional committee meeting held outside of Washington D.C. Field hearings vary in tone and formality. At some, witnesses are sworn in, but Monday’s meeting was relaxed and informal. Six local experts in greening, sustainability and energy conservation testified: Blaine Bonham, Paul Bonney, Elizabeth Garland, Howard Neukrug, Liz Robinson, and Susan Wachter. The hearing’s purpose was threefold: sharing information; publicizing Philadelphia’s efforts in order to attract more funding to the region; and holding up Philadelphia as an example for the rest of the nation. Congresswoman Schwartz chaired the morning’s first panel discussion, which included testimony from Bonham, executive vice president of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society; Neukrug, director of the Philadelphia Office of Watersheds; and Wachter, a professor of real estate and finance at Penn’s Wharton School of Business.

  • Presidential Election Results
    2016 Election Overview The outcome of the 2016 elections has definitely altered the landscape for transportation policy and funding initiatives. From the Presidency down to state legislative races, we face a new legislative dynamic and many new faces. What hasn’t changed: the huge need for resources to increase the nation’s and the state’s investment in the transportation system and bipartisan agreement on that fact. Prior to the outcome of Tuesday’s election we were hearing from candidates on both sides of the aisle that increasing investments in infrastructure was an area of agreement. Candidates for Minnesota’s legislature brought up the need for a comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package over and over again in news stories, candidate profiles and candidate forums. We were hearing more from candidates about transportation than we have in previous election cycles. Voters in other states, made their voices heard by approving ballot initiatives in 22 states that increased and stabilized funding for transportation. As we head into 2017, transportation advocates have a huge opportunity to capitalize on the widespread support for infrastructure improvements. However, it will take the involvement of transportation advocates across the state making their voices heard to rise above partisan squabbling and the many other issues that will be on the table. National Presidential Election Results Electoral Votes Needed to Win: 270 *Remaining: 16 Trump (R) Electoral Votes 290 Popular Vote 60,375,961 Clinton (D) Electoral Votes 232 Popular Vote 61,047,207 Minnesota Clinton (D) percent 46.9% votes 1,366,676 Trump (R) percent 45.4% votes 1,322,891 The race for the White House defied the polls and expectations as Donald Trump won more than the needed 270 votes in the electoral college while Hillary Clinton narrowly won the popular vote.

Foreign-born students help create jobs for Tennessee and often provide the technological innovations that help drive economic growth. Many will serve as the next generation of entrepreneurs, scientists, and leaders in our state. A recent study by the Partnership for a New American Economy and the American Enterprise Institute found that for every 100 foreign-born graduates from a U.S. Master’s or PhD program who stay in America working in a STEM field, 262 additional jobs are created for American workers. In Tennessee, that can translate into a significant new growth -- since our share of foreign-born advance STEM degree holders working in STEM fields grew by 85 percent between 2000 and 2010.

This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/curej/168 For more information, please contact [email protected]. A Tale of Two Movements: Consumer Protection in the U.S. from 1969 to 2010 Abstract The passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and subsequent establishment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau marked an unexpected victory for consumers across America at the expense of the well-financed business lobby. Although classical social scientists, such as Mancur Olson, claim that consumer movements should fail to emerge due to the difficulty of providing public goods for large constituencies, consumer victories – like the passage of Dodd-Frank— have occurred in waves throughout the last century. In conducting this study, I thus sought to answer why it is that some consumer movements are able to push through consumer legislation while others fail. In order to answer this question, I conducted two cases studies, comparing Ralph Nader’s failed attempt to establish a Consumer Protection Agency in the 1970s with Elizabeth Warren’s successful push to create Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in 2010.
