  • Revolving Congress
    Revolving Congress: The Revolving Door Class of 2019 Flocks to K Street Nearly Two Thirds of Former Members of 115th Congress Working Outside Politics and Government Have Picked Up Lobbying or Strategic Consulting Jobs By Alan Zibel, Public Citizen Research Director May 30, 2019 – Nearly two-thirds of recently retired or defeated U.S. lawmakers now working outside politics have landed jobs influencing federal policy, providing further evidence that members of Congress continue to spin through Washington’s revolving door at astonishing rates. Public Citizen analyzed the post-Congress employment activities of the 115th Congress, which started in 2017 and concluded on Jan. 3 of this year. Of the former members who have found new jobs outside of government and politics, 59% (26 of 44) were working for lobbying firms, consulting firms, trade groups or business groups working to influence federal government activities. Many others were working in television (14%) law (9%) corporate jobs (7%) academia (7%) or state-level groups (5%). Category Count Pct.

These revolving-door lawmakers cash in on their connections by representing wealthy special interests who can afford to pay top dollar for insider influence. Revolving Congress Public Citizen In the 115th Congress, there have been several notable examples of the revolving door activity, with two of the largest Washington, D.C.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman 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 20 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, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. 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. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.

Well, it’s a real testament to the strong, fiscal responsibility that Indiana’s demonstrated in recent years. Look, we have one of the strongest balance sheets in the country. We have a growing economy. We have record employment in the state of Indiana and the lowest unemployment rate in the Midwest. That’s all created an environment where, in the end of the last fiscal year, we actually ended up with near record reserves in the bank. So, as we were looking at the priorities of the coming session and the General Assembly, I knew it would be possible for us to invest in the kind of preservation of our infrastructure, of roads and bridges, across the state of Indiana.

  • From the UCA Archives LI UCA’S Alumni Remembered Fourth in a Four-Part Series by Jimmy Bryant – UCA Archivist
    From the UCA Archives LI UCA’s Alumni Remembered Fourth in a Four-Part Series By Jimmy Bryant – UCA Archivist In sheer number of deaths, World War II is considered the most deadly conflict in human history. Most published estimates of the total number of people killed (military and civilian combined) range from a low of 50 million to a high of 78 million. According to the Congressional Research Service that provides information to Congress, the United States Armed Forces suffered a total of 291,557 killed in action with another 113,842 deaths occurring due to other causes. According to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas, 194,645 Arkansans served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II, or about 10% of the state’s 1940 population. The same source shows that 3,519 Arkansans were killed in action. According to the Faulkner County Veterans Memorial that stands in front of the Faulkner County Courthouse, 120 military personnel from Faulkner County lost their lives in the war. On a percentage basis, the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) was hit hard by the number of war deaths. From the fall of 1941 through the fall of 1944, UCA averaged 458 students per fall semester. UCA’s loss of 46 alumni amounted to approximately 10% of the student body during that time. After the war was over, UCA officials wanted to find a way to properly remember those who had given their lives for their country. They decided to create a living memorial by planting a live oak tree for each former student that had been killed.

  • Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine
    SUMMER 2011 IU Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine The IMPACT Campaign: Your Chance to Make a Difference for the Law School INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW – INDIANAPOLIS Message from the Dean As I comPLete my fouRth yeAR As DeAn, I am struck by what a marvelous law school we have, how far it has come in its brief history with a full-time day program, and the tremendous impact it and its more than 10,000 alumni have on Indiana and beyond. We should all be extremely proud. At the same time, however, I am also struck by the fact that as good as the school is, there is still much we need to do to make it the very best it can be. for this reason, we are embarking on an ambitious capital campaign, the success of which is vital to the school’s ability, in an increasingly competitive environment, to continue producing great lawyers, judges, and leaders. this issue of the magazine focuses on this campaign and, consistent with our recently adopted strategic plan, on the areas in which resources raised will be invested—faculty, student scholarships, nationally prominent programs and skills training/experiential learning. While the school is generally ranked highly among all u.s. law schools, its funding is near the bottom. our direct expenditures per student last year ranked 141st out of 198 and our financial aid per student budget was in the bottom quartile. our resources are by far the lowest of all Big ten law schools. If we can provide an excellent education for students with this small amount of funding, consider what we could do if we had sufficient dollars to do what most other law schools can do already—such as fund endowed faculty chairs, or offer core classes with fewer than 100 students in the classroom.
