  • Senator Scarnati Denies Links Between Campaign Funds and Legislation Pennsylvania Senate Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati's Office
    Senator Scarnati denies links between campaign funds and legislation Pennsylvania Senate Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati’s office denied a report written by Spotlight PA ​ and The Caucus, which stated he and lobbyists were pushing for legislation that would vastly expand gambling in Pennsylvania. In a statement, Mr. Scarnati denied the link between monetary contributions to his campaign and legislative support for additional gambling, calling the report “appalling.” “I have not advocated for members of the Senate to support video gambling legislation,” the statement read. “In fact — in the past I actively worked against legislation that had been proposed for VGTs [video gaming terminals].” The article, which appeared in Friday’s Post-Gazette, which is a journalism partner with Spotlight PA, said that Mr. Scarnati and lobbyists for deep-pocketed video gaming companies, many from out of state, were pushing for the legislation. Spotlight PA and The Caucus defended their story in a tweet Friday. “We @SpotlightPA and @CaucusPA stand firmly behind our reporting on this story. Our reporters remain undeterred in their commitment to fearless journalism that serves Pennsylvania citizens and holds their elected leaders accountable.” The legislation in question would allow bars, restaurants, clubs and other establishments with liquor licenses to have VGTs. As current legislation stands, only truck stops are allowed to have VGTs in them. In his statement Mr. Scarnati noted that Spotlight PA accepts donations from individuals and organizations as one method of funding the publication. Mr. Scarnati closed his statement by saying that he would meet “any further false media statements” with legal action. COVID-19 has changed Trenton lobbying in many ways, from remote conversations to clients’ priorities There was lobbying before March 9 … it consisted of chasing down lawmakers outside Trenton’s State House to either promote or hurt the prospects of legislation lobbyists shepherded for clients.

J. Grand2, & Volker Springel2 1Leibniz-Institut f¨urAstrophysik Potsdam (AIP), An der Sternwarte 16, D-14482 Potsdam, Germany 2Max-Planck-Institut f¨urAstrophysik, Karl-Schwarzschild-Str. 1, D-85748, Garching, Germany Accepted 2020 June 30. Received 2020 June 30; in original form 2019 October 29 ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of cosmic rays (CR) and different modes of CR transport on the properties of Milky Way-mass galaxies in cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations in the context of the AURIGA project. We systematically study how advection, anisotropic diffusion and additional Alfven-wave´ cooling affect the galactic disc and the circum-galactic medium (CGM). Global properties such as stellar mass and star formation rate vary little between simulations with and without various CR transport physics, whereas structural prop- erties such as disc sizes, CGM densities or temperatures can be strongly affected. In our sim- ulations, CRs affect the accretion of gas onto galaxies by modifying the CGM flow structure. This alters the angular momentum distribution which manifests itself as a difference in stellar and gaseous disc size. The strength of this effect depends on the CR transport model: CR advection results in the most compact discs while the Alfven-wave´ model resembles more the AURIGA model. The advection and diffusion models exhibit large (r ∼ 50 kpc) CR pressure- dominated gas haloes causing a smoother and partly cooler CGM.
