  • The 1986 Michigan Legislative Election
    - DR. GERALD FAVERMAN, Chairman of the Board - A LETTER OF POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY October 27, 1986 Z TO : FISCAL AWARENESS SERVICE Subscribers FROM : Gerald A. Faverman, William R. Rustem, and Alan Harris SUBJECT: THE 1986 MICHIGAN LEGISLATIVE ELECTION: . KEY RACES With only days to go until the general election, the reelection of Governor Jim Blanchard is virtually assured. It is most unlikely that Bill Lucas can catch this popular incumbent. Blanchard's lead is simply too large, time is too short, and the Lucas campaign has failed to capture the public imagination or interest. The real question remaining in this election is how long Blanchard's coattails will be, if he has any. How many candidates can he help sweep into office? Can his margin of victory swing control of the state Senate to the Democrats? Can he increase the Democratic majority in the state House? And can he help bring about a sweep for the Democratic candidates for the educational boards? There are two kinds of election landslides: personal and partisan. A personal landslide occurs when the nominee who heads the ticket receives a large vote, but races lower on the ballot are largely unaffected. Such was the case with the Nixon landslide of 1972. Nixon demolished Senator George McGovern, but Democrats managed to retain control of both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. In contrast, a partisan landslide occurs when there is a significant shift by voters to embrace a particular party's philosophy, agenda, and candidates. The 1964 Johnson victory was such an event.

  • Of Ontario's Members of Provincial Parliament, with Reference To
    Welcome to the Family Business: The “Interconnectedness” of Ontario’s Members of Provincial Parliament, with reference to Ontario, Manitoba, Quebec, Michigan and New York by Waqas Iqbal 2008‐2009 Intern, Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) 1303A Whitney Block, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario M7A 1A1 Phone: (416) 833‐1547 Email: [email protected] www.olip.ontla.on.ca Paper presented at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, Ottawa, Ontario, Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professor Henry Jacek and the OLIP administration for their patience and advice, my family for bearing with my academic meanderings, and my friends for their commiseration. 1 ABSTRACT This paper attempts to ascertain, by comparing between C. Wright Mills’ “power elite” model of governance with the “family capital model,” whether there exists in Canada a ruling class, with special reference to the province of Ontario. I will first choose and define significant elements of Mills’ conception of “ruling elite” or “power elite,” including “the higher circle,” “the very rich,” and “the corporate rich,” before going on to discuss the networks that govern the ruling elite. I will then provide an empirical comparison between publically documented familial relations with and between elected members of Ontario’s Legislative Assembly and those of Ontario’s surrounding state‐level assemblies, including Manitoba, Quebec, Michigan and New York. I will conclude with some suggestions of what areas of the question may benefit from further research. Not too long ago, I heard Justin Trudeau speak at an Economic Club of Canada breakfast lecture.

  • 1994 Macomb County (Michigan) Directory
    Macomb . .. Mdcomb County Directory .9L county :For .9L[[Seasons! I 1994 compiled and edited by CdrmelJd SdbdUgh Macomb County Clerk and Register of Deeds Macomb County r.===========1 "A BriefHistory _ J========::::;'l General Alexander Macomb, a highly decorated veteran of the war of 1812 and a respected General of the U.S. Army, left a legacy of strength with which to name Macomb County. Though today's land boundaries were not set until the mid-1820's, Macomb County's first settlement was founded in 1871, by a religious sect of people called the Moravians, along the shore of the Huron River. Predominately wilderness, the county's most lucrative industry was lumber. A failed attempt at education was made in 1818 with only three students enrolled in the first school, located in the courthouse of downtown Mount Clemens. In 1920, education was reintroduced but it would be 15 years before a structure was built for educational purposes. In the 1870's, mineral baths and lush hotels brought international fame to Mount Clemens for its spa vacations, due to the discovery of a stream which Pledge of Allegiance still runs beneath the city. Though many believed that the water had healing powers, the interest in the spas died out in the early 20th century. Between 1920 and 1930, Macomb County doubled in population. Southern Macomb County was industrialized primarily due to automobile I pledge of allegiance to the flag of manufacturing which escalated greatly at the end of World War II. A lucra­ tive car industry, combined with federal programs such as the Federal the United States of America and to Housing Act and the Veterans Administration Housing Act, encouraged the Republic for which it stands.
