  • Gingrich Winning in Both Arizona and Pennsylvania
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 21, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Gingrich winning in both Arizona and Pennsylvania Raleigh, N.C. – Newt Gingrich's momentum in the Republican Presidential race is just continuing to grow as Herman Cain's support fades away. Gingrich leads the GOP field in both Pennsylvania and Arizona. In Pennsylvania Gingrich has 32% to 15% for Cain, 12% for Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, 9% for Ron Paul, 5% for Michele Bachmann, 3% for Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman, and 0% for Gary Johnson. In Arizona Gingrich has 28% to 23% for Romney, 17% for Cain, 8% for Paul, 5% for Huntsman, 3% for Bachmann, Perry, and Santorum, and 0% for Gary Johnson. Gingrich's leads are a result of Cain's support finally starting to really fall apart. For an 8 week period from the end of September through last week Cain was over 20% in every single poll we did at the state or national level. Over that period of time we also repeatedly found that Gingrich was the second choice of Cain voters. Now that Cain has slipped below that 20% threshold of support he had consistently held, Gingrich is gaining. There's reason to think Gingrich could get stronger before he gets weaker. In Pennsylvania he's the second choice of 49% of Cain voters to 10% for Romney. And in Arizona he's the second choice of 39% of Cain voters to 10% for Romney.

  • Corbett Leads Unknowns in Pennsylvania Governor's Race, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Voters Oppose Rendell Sales Tax
    Peter Brown, Assistant Director, Quinnipiac University Polling Institute FOR RELEASE: MARCH 3, 2010 CORBETT LEADS UNKNOWNS IN PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR’S RACE, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS; VOTERS OPPOSE RENDELL SALES TAX PLAN Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett has a 43 – 5 percent lead over State Representative Sam Rohrer for the Republican nomination for governor and holds double-digit leads over the top Democratic candidates, all of whom who are virtual unknowns even to their own party members, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. “Don’t know” leads the field for the Democratic nomination with 59 percent, followed by Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato with 16 percent, State Auditor General Jack Wagner with 11 percent, 2004 U.S. Senate nominee Joel Hoeffel at 10 percent and State. Sen. Tony Williams at 2 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Gov. Ed Rendell remains unpopular with voters as he completes his final year in office, as voters disapprove 49 – 43 percent of the job he is doing, unchanged from December 17. Voters say 49 – 6 percent Gov. Rendell’s plan to increase state spending next year by 4.1 percent was too much rather than too little. Another 35 percent say it’s about right. By a 53 – 40 percent margin, voters oppose the Governor’s plan to raise more money by cutting the state sales tax but expanding items covered by it. “The Democratic candidates for Governor are almost invisible men as far as the voters are concerned. One of them will win the nomination, but at this point they are so closely bunched together and such mystery men to the vast majority of primary voters that any result is possible, given that the primary is little more than 10 weeks away,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2008 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2008 1
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2008 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2008 1 A Message from Tom Tauke Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies — from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more — that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 25 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions and corporate political contributions made by Verizon in 2008. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.

  • Performance Audit: Port Authority of Allegheny County
    December 3, 2007 Mr. Stephen G. Bland, CEO Port Authority of Allegheny County Heinz 57 Center 345 Sixth Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15222-2527 Dear Mr. Bland: Enclosed is our performance audit of the Port Authority of Allegheny County for the period of July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2006, with updated information through August 22, 2007. The Second Class County Port Authority Act requires that we conduct a performance audit of the Port Authority at least once every four years, and we completed the audit in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards as issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. The most significant finding in this report, Finding One, concerns the Port Authority’s governance. Specifically, we report that the Commonwealth contributes more than 55 percent of the operating revenues to the Port Authority but has no representation on the Port Authority’s board of directors. Instead, as you know, the nine board members are all appointed by one local official, the chief executive of Allegheny County. This arrangement—which does not result in a structure of checks and balances inherent in a more diversely appointed board—will have to be corrected through a legislative change. We are recommending such a change, and we call for your active support of it. In Finding Two, we report that the Port Authority contributed to its own fiscal crisis by committing $15.5 million to rent prime downtown office space unnecessarily. The $15.5 million includes $7.7 million to renovate the new space in the downtown Heinz Center and $7.8 million to enter into a 10-year lease for that prime new space.
