    February 26, 2020 Chairman David Skaggs Co-Chairwoman Allison

    February 26, 2020 Chairman David Skaggs Co-Chairwoman Allison Hayward Office of Congressional Ethics 425 3rd Street, SW Suite 1110 Washington, DC 20024 Dear Chairman Skaggs and Co-Chairwoman Hayward: We write to request that the Office of Congressional Ethics (“OCE”) investigate whether Representative Devin Nunes is receiving free legal services in violation of the Rules of the House of Representatives (“House rules”). Specifically, Representative Nunes retained an attorney who represents him in several defamation lawsuits in various courts where he seeks a total of nearly $1 billion in damages. House rules prohibit a Member from receiving free legal services, unless the Member establishes a Legal Expense Fund (“LEF”). According to the House Legislative Resource Center, Representative Nunes has not filed any of the required reports to establish an LEF. The relevant facts detailed below establish that the OCE Board should authorize an investigation of Representative Nunes. Representative Nunes’s overt involvement with the highly-publicized lawsuits threatens to establish a precedent that the Legal Expense Fund (“LEF”) regulations no longer apply to Members. Although Representative Nunes is entitled to legal representation and he may pursue any legal action to protect and defend his interests, he must comply with House rules. An OCE investigation will preserve Representative Nunes’s legal right to counsel while upholding well-established House rules and precedent. House Rules Prohibit Members from Receiving Discounted or Free Legal Services A Member of the House of Representatives “may not knowingly accept a gift” with limited exceptions.1 A “gift” is defined to include “a gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan, forbearance, or other item having monetary value.

It means that the wrath of legislta- “23 seats are between where we are and cut- is for consumer attorneys and the people tion that has emanated out of the ting in half our time in hell. We can prove we represent. Like so many CAALA mem- Republican-controlled House – that is that we are better than that in America.” bers, politics means a lot to me; not just designed to limit consumer rights, deny Katie Hill and Gil Cisneros both said they because I’m CAALA’s President and I’m trial by jury and eliminate our practices – have lived a life of service. Katie as a nurse and about to be installed as President of our will stop. Cisneros in the Navy. They say they are both state trial lawyer association, CAOC. And As is usually the case, California is at the fighting to keep President Trump from taking not because I’m a political junkie who center of the national political landscape, away what trial lawyers work to do.

  • Coalition Letter to Congress Re: COVID Impact On

    Coalition Letter to Congress Re: COVID Impact On

    Tuesday, February 16, 2021 United States Senate and House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20510 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS: Businesses, small to large, across the nation have exponentially suffered as the result of COVID, and have been forced to cut jobs and even close their doors permanently. One of the looming costs is the significant impact on the unemployment insurance fund. To prevent further loss, we respectfully ask Congress to consider the following: Transfer of funds to state UI trust funds equal to the amount of benefits paid due to COVID. Delay the application of the FUTA offset credit reduction for a year. Reduce or waive interest fees. Grant loan extension etc. to the 18 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands that have not only exhausted their state unemployment (UI) fund reserves in the wake of the pandemic, but have borrowed over $48 billion dollars (as of January 25, 2021) from the Federal-State Unemployment Compensation "UC" Program to continue providing jobless benefits. Unlike federal UI benefits, state UI benefits remain financed by state payroll taxes and are expected to rise sharply in the coming years. This will increase taxes on a per-employee basis, which will disincentive hiring employees and slow business recovery. In their weakened state, many more businesses will shut their doors for good under these tax increases. It is the belief of this coalition that it is neither right nor fair to hold employers solely responsible for replenishing state reserves and paying down federal loans. Our state unemployment systems were originally designed to be 100% funded by employers to provide jobless benefits as a result of business decisions.
