    1 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 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 18 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 and its affiliates during the first half of 2018. 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.

MH/SUD PARITY REPORT ACT (A.3694-C,GUNTHER/S.1156-C,ORTT) ENACTED, CHAPTER 455 OF LAWS OF 2018 In a major victory for NYSPA and update since the October 2018 Area II Council Meeting, Governor Cuomo signed the Mental Health/Substance Use Disorder (MH/SUD) Parity Report Act (A.3694-C) into law, as Chapter 455 of the Laws of 2018, on December 21, 2018, an especially symbolic date as it occurred on the eve of the 12th anniversary of the enactment of Timothy's Law, New York's mental health parity mandate. Governor Cuomo signed the MH/SUD Parity Report Act into law based on an agreement with the Legislature and stakeholders to pass what is referred to as a chapter amendment, which will make a couple of changes to Chapter 455, as embodied in S.4356/A.6186-A (see enclosed document), sponsored by Senator Rob Ortt (R-North Tonawanda) and Assemblymember Aileen Gunther (D-Forestburgh), who sponsored the original law as well. In summary, the MH/SUD Parity Report Act, adds a new section to New York State Insurance Law, Section 343, governing the submission of key data and information from insurers and health plans to allow the Department of Financial Services to complete an evaluation and analysis of compliance with the federal and state MH/SUD parity laws with the results to be published in a report on the department’s website.

    Resolution Urging Governor Hochul and Commissioner Zucker to Modify the Proposed COVID-19 Mandate for all Healthcare Workers WHEREAS, Governor Hochul announced, in her first day in office, that she would be implementing a mandate that all healthcare workers in New York State be vaccinated against COVID-19 by September 27, 2021; and WHEREAS, many nursing homes and hospitals across the Finger Lakes region have indicated that significant numbers of their staff have threatened to resign effective September 26, 2021 rather than receive the COVID-19 vaccine; and WHEREAS, our nursing homes and hospitals are already experiencing staff shortages caused by complex and diverse factors; and WHEREAS, while well-intentioned, the vaccine mandate proposed by Governor Hochul and Commissioner Zucker runs the risk of effecting the mass resignation of unvaccinated healthcare workers throughout the state; and WHEREAS, both hospitals and nursing homes have indicated they would be forced to shutter beds and reduce capacity if the threatened resignations come to fruition; and WHEREAS, as the Delta variant of COVID-19 increases its spread through our communities and college and K through 12 schools resume classes, our community cannot risk losing critical healthcare workers and acute and long-term care capacity; and WHEREAS, allowing for a twice a week, or more frequent, testing alternative to the proposed vaccine mandate would protect patient safety, respect the personal rights of healthcare workers, and ensure that our medical system is as prepared as possible

  • December 19, 2012 President Barack Obama the White House 1600
    December 19, 2012 President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Obama, On Friday, December 14th the entire nation watched as parents stood outside the Sandy Hook Elementary School and waited, desperately hoping to be reunited with their children. That moment will never end for the families of the 20 children and six adults who were murdered that day at the school. As mayors, we are charged with keeping our communities safe. But too many of us have sat with mothers and fathers of children killed with guns. Twenty-four children enrolled in public schools in your hometown of Chicago were shot to death just last year. At the moving memorial service on Sunday evening, you said: “If there is even one step we can take to save another child or another parent or another town from the grief that has visited Tucson and Aurora and Oak Creek and Newtown and communities from Columbine to Blacksburg before that – then surely we have an obligation to try.” Our bipartisan coalition of more than 750 mayors has joined forces with over 700,000 Americans and more than 100 survivors of deadly shootings, including the mass shootings you mentioned in your remarks. Together, we urge you to put forward an agenda that is rooted in common sense and that will make it harder for dangerous people to possess guns, and easier for police and prosecutors to crack down on them. That agenda should: Require every gun buyer to pass a criminal background check: Background checks are the only systematic way to stop felons, domestic abusers and other dangerous people from buying firearms.

  • Pfizer Inc. Regarding Congruency of Political Contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation
    SANFORD J. LEWIS, ATTORNEY January 28, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Pfizer Inc. Regarding congruency of political contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation Ladies and Gentlemen: Tara Health Foundation (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I have been asked by the Proponent to respond to the supplemental letter dated January 25, 2021 ("Supplemental Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by Margaret M. Madden. A copy of this response letter is being emailed concurrently to Margaret M. Madden. The Company continues to assert that the proposal is substantially implemented. In essence, the Company’s original and supplemental letters imply that under the substantial implementation doctrine as the company understands it, shareholders are not entitled to make the request of this proposal for an annual examination of congruency, but that a simple written acknowledgment that Pfizer contributions will sometimes conflict with company values is all on this topic that investors are entitled to request through a shareholder proposal. The Supplemental letter makes much of the claim that the proposal does not seek reporting on “instances of incongruency” but rather on how Pfizer’s political and electioneering expenditures aligned during the preceding year against publicly stated company values and policies.” While the company has provided a blanket disclaimer of why its contributions may sometimes be incongruent, the proposal calls for an annual assessment of congruency.

  • Stefan I. Mychajliw Erie County Comptroller
    STEFAN I. MYCHAJLIW ERIE COUNTY COMPTROLLER December 16, 2020 Rep. Jim Jordan United States Congressman 2056 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Congressman Jordan: Prior to the federal government passing another COVID related stimulus bill, the independent Office of Erie County Comptroller wants to make you aware of highly suspicious spending of the $160 million in federal CARES Act funding allocated to the County of Erie. It Is my job as Erie County’s Chief Fiscal and Accounting Officer to monitor and report how this money is spent. At best some of the spending of Erie County’s federal allocation of $160 million meant to aid municipalities in the fight against the Coronavirus is questionable. At worst it can be categorized as fraud, waste and/or abuse. One of many concerns is the awarding of $19 million in business grants meant to support businesses crippled by economic closures. These federal funds were part of the $160 million in CARES Act funds given to Erie County, which abdicated responsibility for awarding and rejecting these business grants to an independent company called 43North. This independent business entity is funded by New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and local foundations. According to the list of “winners” of the business grants funded by federal CARES Act funds, one recipient was WNY Media, a left-wing blogger on the political payrolls of the Erie County Democratic Committee (ECDC), Democratic Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz and Erie County Democratic Party Chairman Jeremy Zellner. According to public records from the New York State Board of Elections, the political committee for the Democratic Erie County Executive paid WNY Media $10,176.50.
