    2021 ARKANSAS LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY Public Affairs & Government Relations Stanley Hill Jessica Clowser Burkham Vice President Director, Policy Development Public Affairs & Government Relations (501) 251-7853 | [email protected] (501) 831-5564 | [email protected] Philip Powell Matt King Assistant Director, Director Local Affairs & Rural Development (501) 519-4297 | [email protected] (501) 366-0110 | [email protected] Jeff Pitchford Catrinia Rojas Director, State Affairs Assistant (501) 350-3262 | [email protected] (501) 228-1305 | [email protected] While the 93rd General Assembly was a successful session for agriculture, it was missing something – You. This session was more difficult because Covid-19 restrictions prevented us from having Farmers Day at the Capitol and did not allow for County Legislative Breakfasts on the weekends. Despite not being able to have a physical presence, Farm Bureau leaders are persistent and when there was a call to action, legislators told us to “call off the dogs, we got your message." This produced multiple legislative successes for ArFB members, including: • The reinstatement of a State Meat Inspection Program • Improvements to Levee and Drainage District structures • Expansion of Rural Broadband Authority • Updates to the State Plant Board appointment process In total, the General Assembly met for 108 days, where they filed 1,675 bills including 42 proposed constitutional amendments. The state legislature approved three constitutional amendments to send to Arkansas voters for their consideration on the November 2022 ballot. • HJR1005: “Constitutional Amendment and Ballot Initiative Reform Amendment” - Requires sixty percent approval in each chamber to refer a constitutional amendment to the ballot and sixty percent approval by the electors to adopt a referred amendment or an amendment submitted through the initiative process.

  • Carol Bitting Public Comments
    !My name is Carol Bitting, Marble Falls, Ar. ! !2015/04/11! !Comments on Permit #3540-WR-7! Thank you for allowing me to speak, I will try to stay within the 5 minutes but if I go over it won’t be for much so please allow me to finish without interruption. This meeting is about addressing our citizen concerns for the environment we live in.! . ! I am here defending my home and the anti-degradation of the waters of this state as specified in Regulation 2 and the Clean Water Act. I am not about new laws, the laws are already here. They are continually degraded though and that is the sadness of this situation as ADEQ has partnered with industry for pollution of the Buffalo River verses the millions of citizens that are financially supporting the agency to protect our !resources. ! The area I live in is karst, it is downstream of the proposed permit and the water I drink comes from this source. I am also a field technician for Dr Brahana’s (KHBNR) study and other ongoing study’s of water quality related to the area surrounding the spreading fields of C&H Hog Farms. We have documented the fast transport of groundwater emerging into springs, streams and wells in nearly all directions of the C&H spreading !fields and also the continual increase of the decline of water quality in Big Creek. ! There are 34 known caves downstream of the EC Campbell farm spreading fields. The above fields are highly erodible allowing nutrients, such as hog waste to pass quickly into the groundwater, caves and streams.

  • 2013 Report of Political Financial Support
    2 As a biopharmaceutical company that treats serious diseases, Lilly plays an important role in public health and its related policy debates. It is important that our company shapes global public policy debates on issues specific to the people we serve and to our other key stakeholders including shareholders and employees. Our engagement in the political arena helps address the most pressing issues related to ensuring that patients have access to needed medications—leading to improved patient outcomes. Through public policy engagement, we provide a way for all of our locations globally to shape the public policy environment in a manner that supports access to innovative medicines. We engage on issues specific to local business environments (corporate tax, for example). Based on our company’s strategy and the most recent trends in the policy environment, our company has decided to focus on three key areas: innovation, health care delivery, and pricing and reimbursement. More detailed information on key issues can be found in our 2012/13 Corporate Responsibility update. Through our policy research, development, and stakeholder dialogue activities, Lilly develops positions and advocates on these key issues. Government actions such as price controls, pharmaceutical manufacturer rebates, and access to Lilly medicines affect our ability to invest in innovation. Lilly has a comprehensive government relations operation to have a voice in the public policymaking process at the federal, state and local levels. Lilly is committed to participating in the political process as a responsible corporate citizen to help inform the U.S. debate over health care and pharmaceutical innovation. As a company that operates in a highly competitive and regulated industry, Lilly must participate in the political process to fulfill its fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders, and its overall responsibilities to its customers and its employees.

  • 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.
