  • The Effects of Bicameralism on U.S. Appropriations Policies
    THE EFFECTS OF BICAMERALISM ON U.S. APPROPRIATIONS POLICIES by MARK EDWARD OWENS (Under the Direction of Jamie L. Carson) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines how supermajority rules interact with other institutional constraints. I study appropriations policies to better understand how the content of legislation develops in response to bicameral differences over a one-hundred and four year period. As each chamber has developed independently of one another, the institutional differences that have emerged have had a dynamic impact on the lawmaking process. The time frame of the study, 1880 to 1984, is particularly important because it captures the years when the Senate grew to play a more active role in the legislative process and a number of key budgetary reforms. To study this phenomenon empirically, I measure how regular appropriations bills were packaged differently by the House and Senate from 1880 to 1984 and compare the final enactment to the difference in chamber proposals to determine the magnitude of a chamber’s leverage on enacted policy changes. By treating the Senate’s choice to amend the House version as a selection effect, we can examine the effect bicameralism has on policy outcomes. Specifically, I analyze a ratio that represents how close the final bill is to the Senate version, given the size of the bicameral distance. Finally, I complete the study by examining how the president influences bicameral negotiations and how bicameralism complicates our theories of intra-branch relations.

  • Libertarian Party of Nevada Hosted "Speed Dating" Events Over 2 Days at Different Venues in Las Vegas
    Endorsement Committee This year, we formed an Endorsement Committee comprised of 18 members plus additional Libertarian leadership; the “Committee.” The Committee members conducted their own independent research on each of the candidates and asked them questions at our events. The Committee members took notes and made recommendations on grades and endorsements. Endorsement Committee Chair: Jason Weinman Committee Members: Jason G Smith Jim Duensing Jason Nellis Lesley Chan John McCormack JD Smith Lou Pombo Brady Bowyer Scott Lafata Tim Hagan Brett H. Pojunis Brandon Ellyson Debra Dedmon Nick Klein Andrew Lea Ross Williams Tarina Dark Steve Brown Format - Why "Speed Dating?" The Libertarian Party of Nevada hosted "Speed Dating" events over 2 days at different venues in Las Vegas. The goal was to meet as many candidates as possible in a format similar to speed dating. LPNevada endorsed Candidates in non‐partisan races and graded Candidates in partisan races for the 2014 General Elections. Most organizations do not get one‐on‐one interaction with the candidates; we felt this is important. Endorsements and Grading Non‐Partisan candidates received either a positive (thumbs up) or negative (thumbs down) endorsement from the Committee. Partisan Candidates received a grade of 1 to 5 stars. Candidates who received 1 star were not very Libertarian and candidates who received 5 stars were very good in regards to their position on issues important to Libertarians. The Libertarian Party of Nevada has the following 15 Candidate on the 2014 Ballot. Adam Sanacore, Assembly District 21 Lou Pombo, Assembly District 37 Chris Dailey, White Pine County Commission Louis Gabriel, Assembly District 32 Donald W.

  • Review and Discussion Regarding the 2017 Legislative Session with Possible Direction to Staff. (For Possible Action)
    AGENDA ITEM# 12 SUN VALLEY GENERAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT DATE: 2-3-17 TO: Board of Trustees FROM: Darrin Price – General Manager SUBJECT: Review and discussion regarding the 2017 Legislative Session with possible direction to staff. (for possible action). Every two years the Nevada Legislature meets. 2017 is here and it’s that time again. In 2014, the District cancelled its Lobbying contract with Fred Hillerby. At that time the total expenses for the lobbying contract was $1,650.00 dollars a month year round (as to include committee meetings that can and do meet when the session is closed and networking). In February of 2015, the board unanimously approved the General Manager “to act in the lobbying capacity” for the District. Per this direction I have started to assemble a team to assist me with monitoring, tracking, networking, and attending sessions, committee meetings, and general networking to establish relationships with both legislators and their staff. I registered myself, Jennifer, and Maddy as paid lobbyist for this session. The cost to register is $300.00 dollars per person, a total of $900.00 dollars. As a registered lobbyist you can track 10 bills via NELLIS. NELLIS is the Nevada Electronic Legislative Information System. It allows for PLT: What is Personalized Legislative Tracking (PLT)? · PLT allows you to subscribe to BDRs, bills, and budgets that are of interest to you, and subsequently tag and create notes on your subscriptions. · The advantage of PLT is that you will receive immediate notifications of hearings, a daily status notification, and have access to tailored, exportable reports for the subscriptions you have chosen to track.

  • Basic Information Biden Was Born on November 20, 1942 (77)
    1 ● Basic information12 ○ Biden was born on November 20, 1942 (77), in Scranton, Pennsylvania. ○ In 1953, The Bidens moved to Claymont, Delaware, and then eventually to Wilmington, Delaware. ○ Biden earned his bachelor’s degree in 1965 from the University of Delaware, with a double major in history and political science. ○ Biden graduated from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968 and was admitted to the Delaware bar in 1969. ■ During his first year at Syracuse, Biden was accused of plagiarizing five of fifteen pages of a law review article. As a result, he failed the course and had to retake it. The plagiarism incident has resurfaced during various political campaigns. ● Early political career3 ○ After graduating from law school, Biden began practicing law as a public defender and then for a firm headed by Sid Balick, a locally active Democrat. Biden would go on to officially register as a Democrat at this time. ○ At the end of 1969, Biden ran to represent the 4th district on the New Castle County Council, a usually Republican district. ■ He served on the County Council from 1970 to 1972, while continuing his private law practice. ● 1972 US Senate campaign ○ In 1972, longtime Delaware political figure and Republican incumbent Senator J. Caleb Boggs was considering retirement, which would likely have left US Representative Pete du Pont and Wilmington Mayor Harry G. Haskell Jr. in a divisive primary fight. ■ To avoid that, President Nixon convinced Boggs to run again with full party support which kept several known Democrats out of the race. ○ Biden’s grassroots campaigned, managed by his sister Valerie Biden Owens, focused on withdrawals from Vietnam, the environment, civil rights, mass transit, more equitable taxation, and health care.
