  • Key Factors to Adopt Paid Family Leave Policies in U.S. States
    KEY FACTORS TO ADOPT PAID FAMILY LEAVE POLICIES IN U.S. STATES Erin M. Abramsohn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Public Health in the Department of Health Policy and Management in the Gillings School of Global Public Health. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Pam Silberman Asheley Cockrell Skinner Gene Matthews Cathleen Walsh Judy Waxman © 2019 Erin M. Abramsohn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Erin M. Abramsohn: Key Factors to Adopt Paid Family Leave Policies in U.S. States (Under the direction of Pam Silberman) In 2019, The United States remains the only developed nation without a paid family leave policy. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) passed in 1993, grants eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year. However, due to eligibility limitations only 60 percent of U.S. workers qualify for FMLA benefits and only about half of those eligible utilize the program. Many also report shortening the length of unpaid leave they take due to financial constraints. As of December, 2018, only four U.S. states offered paid family leave (California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and New York). Starting in 2020, Washington state and the District of Columbia will both begin offering paid family and medical leave benefits, and beginning in 2021 Massachusetts will also provide paid family leave benefits. Bills have been introduced (but not passed) in 23 additional states. This study examined the question of why two states (California and New York) were able to pass paid family leave policies, while two other states that made multiple legislative attempts (Colorado and Illinois) failed.

  • The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard
    The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard A Letter from Our Executive Director: Dear Members of The Arc Community, Once again, I would like to thank each of you for your part in a successful legislative session. We rely on your expertise in the field. We rely on you for our strength in numbers. For all the ways you contributed this session, we are deeply appreciative. I would like to give a special thanks to those that came and testified on our behalf; Stephanie Garcia, Carol Meredith, Linda Skafflen, Shelby Lowery, Vicki Wray, Rowan Frederiksen, and many others who I may not have mentioned here. This session was a historic one. For the first time in 75 years, one party had control of the house, senate, and governor’s office. Additionally, there were 43 new legislators! We enjoyed a productive year in which The Arc of Colorado monitored 100 bills. Of those that we supported, 92% were signed by the governor and 100% of the bills that we opposed died. This high success rate means that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families will have more opportunity to better live, work, learn, and play in their Colorado communities, with increased support. We are excited about many of this year’s outcomes. In a very tight budget year, the Joint Budget Committee was able to free up money for 150 additional slots for the Developmental Disabilities waiver waitlist. After three years of involvement, we finally saw the passing of HB19-1194, which places restrictions on suspensions and expulsions of children from preschool, through to second grade.

  • Colorado 2018 Primary Election Results and Analysis
    June 27, 2018 Colorado 2018 Primary Election Results and Analysis Colorado held its primary election last night, setting the stage for the November general election where Walker Stapleton (R) and Jared Polis (D) will compete to replace term-limited Gov. John Hickenlooper (D). In all the statewide races, substantially more votes were cast in Democratic primary contests than in Republican races. Figures from the secretary of state’s office indicate that, as of midnight, 1,158,700 voters had returned their mail-in ballots, a number that represents more than 30 percent of the state’s total registered voters. Ballots are still being processed, with July 5 being the last day for military and overseas ballots to arrive and the last day for a voter to cure a missing signature or signature discrepancy. Even without the final numbers, it is clear that voter turnout was up significantly from the 2016 primary election when only 21 percent of the electorate participated—an all-time low. This year’s high primary turnout was due in part to Colorado’s new law allowing unaffiliated voters to participate for the first time. Of the 1,158,700 ballots tallied thus far, 280,958 were cast by unaffiliated voters, 412,411 by Republicans and 465,331 by Democrats. Ballots cast in the Democratic primary for governor exceeded those cast in the Republican primary by more than 100,000. This difference was consistent in congressional and state legislative races as well. In a state with voter registration roughly even among Republican, Democrat and unaffiliated voters, this trend is notable and may reflect intensity.

Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation 2016 Year in Review 2015 ANNUAL REPORT Twenty-eight years ago, a dedicated and passionate group of sportsmen in the U.S. Congress came together to form the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) to protect and advance our outdoor traditions of hunting, angling, recreational shooting, and trapping. The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) was formed shortly thereafter in 1989 to serve as the link between the sportsmen’s community and the CSC. Building upon the success of the CSC, the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses (NASC), and the Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus (GSC) were established – in 2004 and 2009, respectively – to extend the policy network from Washington, DC, to states across the country.
