Voters' Pamphlet Pierce County Official Local Voters’ Pamphlet Primary Election | August 16, 2011 "I am an American" Day observance, May, 1941, Jason Lee Middle School. Sponsored by the Tacoma Americanization Council. We're bringing back an old tradition. Published by the Pierce County Auditor's Offi ce piercecountywa.org/elections 253-798-VOTE (8683) or 1-800-446-4979 Message from the Auditor Dear Voter, If there is anything predictable about elections, it is change. Every year, something new is introduced. Budget reductions, new laws, fresh regulation…you name it. We take it in stride. Election year 2011 is no exception. Plenty has changed. • Vote-By-Mail is now the law of the land. Pierce County can no longer conduct polling place elections. • Our aging Express Booths have been retired. • We now have 23 Ballot Deposit Sites throughout the County. • Five new Voting Centers will be opened across the County. • “I Voted” stickers are back! Vote-By-Mail For 17% of Pierce County’s voters, this is a big change. Instead of driving to a polling place, a ballot will be mailed to your home. Simply apply a stamp and mail your ballot before August 16th. Or, drop it off at any one of our 25 Ballot Deposit Sites or six Voting Centers. Locations are on pages 8 - 10 of this booklet. Express Booths In 2010, we began the process of retiring our staffed Express Booths. In 2011, Express Booths have gone away entirely. It's expensive to staff these booths, move them, and store them. And, the booths were breaking down after nearly two decades of use. Ballot Deposit Sites Have you seen our new boxes? Designed specifi cally for elections, these secure boxes were manu- factured locally by LaserFab. Citizens have decorated the boxes with inspirational quotes to promote voting. These Ballot Deposit Sites are open 24-hours a day, beginning as soon as ballots are mailed. If you’d like to save a stamp, fi nd the nearest location on pages 8 and 9. Voting Centers The Vote by Mail legislation closed polls. It also required each county to establish at least one Voting Center. The purpose of the Voting Center is to provide assistance to voters, especially those living with disabilities. Think of Voting Centers as an extension of our offi ce. It is a place to talk with staff about replacement ballots, provisional ballots, or registration issues. You can also use a touch screen voting machine to cast your vote. Pierce County will open six Voting Centers. Find the nearest location on page 10. Voting Centers will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday (Election Day). Voting Centers are NOT polling places. They are places to get special assistance with voting. “I Voted” Stickers We know you love the “I Voted” sticker. Thousands wear it proudly, as a reminder to others. Well, we’ve found a way to include the stickers in your Voters’ Pamphlet. And this way, you can wear “I Voted” at any time during the election period. In fact, we hope you will. Pierce County voter participation is the lowest in the state. Help us remind everyone of this important civic duty. Need Help? We can answer your elections questions! Call us at 253-798-VOTE (8683).

Citizenship Day was fi rst celebrated in May 1940 and was called 'I am an American' Day. In 1940, I am an American Day was initiated by Congress for the third Sunday in May. In 1952, it was moved to September 17th, Constitution Day, to cor- respond with the signing of the United States Constitution in 1787. Tacoma's last celebration was in 1949. Today we consider Citizenship/Constitution Day as the birthday for our country. It serves as a means for American citizens to express pride in their citizenship. Constitution Day also desig- nates a time to honor the Constitution of America and learn more about this famous piece of legislation. Join us!

  • August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

  • 8.7.14 Plaintiff-Respondents' Response to Motions for Leave To
    NO. 84362-7 SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON MATHEW & STEPHANIE MCCLEARY, on their own behalf and on behalf of KELSEY & CARTER MCCLEARY, their two children in Washington’s public schools, et al., Plaintiff/Respondents, PLAINTIFF/RESPONDENTS’ v. RESPONSE TO MOTIONS FOR LEAVE TO FILE STATE OF WASHINGTON, AMICI CURIAE BRIEFS Defendant/Appellant. On August 4, 2014, four groups of applicants filed motions for leave to file amici curiae briefs regarding the upcoming September 3 show cause hearing: (1) Washington State Budget and Policy Center, Centerstone, the ElderCare Alliance, the Equity in Education Coalition, Statewide Poverty Action Network, Solid Ground, Jennifer Papest, Kristin Lindenmuth, Patrick Lenning, and Viral Shaw; (2) Columbia Legal Services, The Children’s Alliance, and The Washington Low Income Housing Alliance; (3) Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn; and (4) Former Governors Daniel J. Evans, John Spellman, Mike Lowry, Gary Locke, and Christine Gregoire. Plaintiffs file this single, consolidated response to those four motions. As a procedural matter, plaintiffs object that these amicus brief motions do not satisfy the requirements of RAP 10.6.1 1 RAP 10.6(a) permits an amicus brief “only if all parties consent or if the filing of the brief would assist the appellate court.” To that end, the rule requires the applicant’s motion to establish: (1) the applicant’s interest and the person or group the applicant represents; (2) the applicant’s familiarity with the issues involved in the review and with - 1 - 51388129.3 But as a practical matter, since this Court recently granted Mr. Eugster’s amicus brief motion over plaintiffs’ similar objection, plaintiffs recognize this Court will likely grant these four amicus brief motions for the September 3 show cause hearing as well.

These infrastructure investments—in things like mass transit, vehicle and ferry electrification, clean buildings, and more—are a bedrock to our state’s competitive edge. Washington State is also experiencing extreme and historic heat waves and drought conditions. We are at severe risk of a wildfire season even worse than last year, and many of the federal hydropower dams that are an essential component of our region’s infrastructure are likely to produce significantly less of the clean power that our economy relies. Climate policy is economic policy and the historic commitments Washington State has made will help protect the health and wealth of our state for generations.

  • Letter to Agreement State Governors Re: NRC Has Approved Increased
    September 2, 2005 The Honorable Janet Napolitano Governor of the State of Arizona 1700 West Washington Phoenix, Arizona 85007 Dear Governor Napolitano: In cooperation with the State of Arizona, and the 32 other Agreement States, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved increased controls for radioactive material licensees possessing radioactive sources containing quantities of concern. When implemented by licensees, these controls, which supplement existing regulatory requirements, will provide both the NRC and the Agreement States reasonable assurance that our common objectives of enhancing controls over certain radioactive sources and protecting public health and safety continue to be met. This approach comports with existing Agreements under Section 274b of the Atomic Energy Act for protection of public health and safety. The additional requirements will ensure increased control of radioactive sources containing quantities of concern, and they are consistent with ongoing national and international efforts to address the potentially significant health and safety hazards that could be posed by a loss of control of such radioactive sources. This approach to issuing the increased controls will maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of NRC and Agreement State inspection resources and reduce travel and other administrative costs, since safety and control requirements will be inspected in an integrated manner primarily during routine health and safety inspections or commensurate with an inspection prioritization scheme. Implementation of these requirements is a matter of great importance to the NRC and to the Nation. In September 2005, the NRC requested, through the radiation control program director in each Agreement State, that all Agreement States impose the increased controls on their licensees by December 2005.

  • 2020 Election Recap
    2020 Election Recap Below NACCHO summarizes election results and changes expected for 2021. Democrats will continue to lead the House of Representatives…but with a smaller majority.

Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees. The following new Representatives and Senators are confirmed as of January 7. House of Representatives Note: All House of Representative seats were up for re-election. We list only those where a new member will be coming to Congress below.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 Remarks at the National
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 Remarks at the National Governors Association Dinner February 27, 2011 Well, good evening, everybody. Welcome to the White House. I want to start by acknowledging your outstanding chair, Christine Gregoire, for her wonderful work, and your vice chair, Dave Heineman, for his wonderful work. Thank you very much. I want to welcome some of you back, and I want to welcome those who are here for the first time. I know some of you may be confused and think this is the Oscars. [Laughter] There are some similarities. First of all, everybody looks spectacular. And the second thing is, if I speak too long, the music will start playing. [Laughter] So I'm going to be very brief. I know that the last couple of years have not been easy in a lot of your States. People have been struggling. Folks have lost jobs. Businesses have shuttered. We went through the toughest recession since the Great Depression. And nobody has felt it more than folks back home, and you see it each and every day. You have to respond in ways that go beyond just ideology or rhetoric. The thing about Governors is you're in charge and people know where to find you and they expect you to help them during tough times. And many of you over the last 2 years have done extraordinary work. Many of you are expected for the next 2 years, next 4 years, or however long it may be, to do extraordinary work. The main message I want to deliver tonight, in addition to asking you to have some fun this evening, is to know that you've got a partner here in the White House.
