  • An Ambitious New Plan Offers Delta Water and Economic Hope for the San Joaquin Valley
    August 12, 2020 Western Edition Volume 2, Number 30 An ambitious new plan offers Delta water and economic hope for the San Joaquin valley The San Joaquin Valley is bracing for the economic impacts to come from implementing the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act over the next 20 years. Without changes, the regulation could lead to more than a million acres of fallowing and as much as $7 billion in lost revenues every year, with the worst financial impacts rippling down to California’s most disadvantaged communities, according to a report released earlier this year. With this reality, a coalition has emerged around a complex and ambitious approach to bring water to the valley, one that could head off the A new plan takes a different approach to Delta water flows. (Photo of the Sacramento Delta, courtesy of the Department of Water worst effects of SGMA for farmers, the Resources) environment and communities. “We've already started,” said Scott Hamilton, an agricultural economist who works as a consultant for the coalition known as the Water Blueprint for the San Joaquin Valley. “But it’s a process that's going to take quite a bit of time and is fairly difficult.” During a Fresno State seminar series on water infrastructure on Tuesday, Hamilton outlined a sweeping new approach that would pull excess flows from the Delta through a fish-friendly alternative to pumping, then funnel that water through new extensions to existing canals and store it using strategic groundwater recharge projects. “None of it is cheap,” warned Hamilton. “We are now looking at around a $9-billion program for the valley.” 1 He acknowledged the success of the plan hinges on one critical leap of faith: gaining approval from environmental and social justice groups to pull more water from the Delta.

As a former IOP Director (1995-1998), I jumped at the chance to return to such a special place at an important time. This summer, IOP Director Dan Glickman, Harvard students, and IOP staff went into high gear to mobilize, inspire, and engage young people in politics and the electoral process. • We hosted events for political powerbrokers during the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. • We are working to ensure all Harvard voices are heard at the polls through our dynamic and effective H-VOTE campus vote pro- gram, as well as coordinating the voter education and mobilization activities of nearly 20 other schools across America, part of our National Campaign for Political and Civic Engagement. • Our Resident Fellows this semester are an impressive group.

  • Mike Pompeo - Sourcewatch
    10/22/2020 Mike Pompeo - SourceWatch Mike Pompeo Michael Richard Pompeo was nominated for U.S. Secretary of State by President Donald Trump on March 13, 2018, after Trump fired former Exxon executive Rex Tillerson. Previously, Pompeo was the director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and former Representative of Kansas's 4th Congressional District, where the global headquarters of Koch Industries is located. While serving as a Congressman, the Huffington Post described the Tea Party Republican as "the Koch brothers' point man in the House."[1] Koch Industries and its employees Follow the money in the Koch wiki was Pompeo's largest contributor in each of his campaigns. (http://www.kochexposed.org). Pompeo was tapped by President Donald Trump to be the Director of the CIA on November 18, 2016. He was confirmed by the Senate 66-32 on January 23, 2017 and sworn in that night.[2] Pompeo's first company, Thayer, was an investment company funded in part by Koch Venture Capital. Pompeo’s second company, Sentry, was tied to a Brazilian division of Koch Industries. Pompeo’s financial history and ties to the billionaire Koch brothers have not been fully publicly vetted because he has only faced one significant but limited electoral challenge. Born in 1963, Pompeo grew up in Orange County, California, heavily influenced by Ayn Rand. He was recommended for the U.S. Military Academy by his Mike Pompeo Congressman, “B-1 Bob” Dornan. In 1986, Pompeo studied mechanical engineering and graduated first in his class at West Point. He served five years on active duty, the minimum required by military academies, primarily in Germany, earning the rank of Captain.

For critical readings of earlier drafts of this Essay, the author is indebted to Erwin Chemerinsky, Stephen W. Gard, Roger D. Hatch, Stephan Landsman, and Peter Paris. For assistance with resources, the author obtained invaluable help from Michelle Ainish at the Blaustein Library of the American Jewish Committee, Joyce Baugh, Steven Cohen, Roger D.

In the 1982 California gubernatorial election, Jewish voters gave the African- American candidate, Tom Bradley, 75% of their vote; Jews were second only to African- Americans in their support for Bradley, exceeding even Hispanics, while the majority of the white vote went for the white Republican candidate, George Deukmejian.
