  • State Auditor Kathy Mcguiness Announces Formation of Joint Task
    Kathleen McGuiness, Delaware State Auditor Alaina Sewell, Executive Assistant 302-857-3931 Email: [email protected] State Auditor Kathy McGuiness Announces the Formation of a Joint State Task Force with Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, New Jersey Comptroller Kevin Walsh and Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot DOVER (April 22, 2020) – On April 22, 2020, State Auditor Kathy McGuiness announced the formation of a joint state task force with Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, New Jersey Comptroller Kevin Walsh and Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot. The task force will be a strategic partnership to collaborate and share information to improve oversight of taxpayer dollars. State Auditor Kathy McGuiness said the following: “I am thrilled to have this joint partnership in the Northeast Corridor. As neighboring states, it's key to partner with colleagues during this pandemic to enhance our work on behalf of taxpayers.' It can be a challenge to ensure proper oversight and controls are in place to protect every dollar from fraud and abuse given the speed in which Congress had to act to get money into the hands of taxpayers who need it most. Small businesses are especially facing unprecedented financial challenges and need to know stimulus monies will be safeguarded from abuse, with states working together to share information and best practice. As a former small business owner, McGuiness understands the pain that so many businesses are facing right now. “Small businesses are struggling and need the government’s help.” McGuiness said, “This task force will allow for public officials to share their ideas and how we can best help them during this uncertain time.” Page 1 of 1 .

  • Political Engagement Report
    1 Verizon Political Engagement - 2018 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more -- that have an enormous impact on our business. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to create new services for our customers and compete fairly in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. Verizon also participates in trade associations that advocate on behalf of their members. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during 2018. It also lists our Public Policy organization's significant memberships in trade associations and issue advocacy organizations and provides a link to our federal lobbying reports. Our political activity is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.

  • Fiscal Watchdogs in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland Demand
    News for Immediate Release April 23, 2020 Fiscal Watchdogs in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland Demand Transparency in Federal Coronavirus Aid for Small Businesses Call for better accountability measures to be included in second stimulus package now debated in D.C. HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, Delaware State Auditor Kathleen McGuiness and Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot today called for full transparency on how hundreds of millions of dollars in federal aid for small businesses was already distributed and better accountability measures in the next stimulus package. Specifically, the three officials want a full accounting of every business in every state that received part of the $349 billion from the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. “We need to make sure that every federal dollar is going where it was intended to do the most good to ease the economic pain being felt by our residents,” Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said. “The stakes are too high to wait for an audit a year or even three months from now.” “As a generational small business owner, I’m eager to join forces with Auditor General DePasquale and Comptroller Franchot to ensure stimulus money gets into the hands of small business owners struggling to stay afloat. During these unprecedented times, our small businesses need to know: we’re looking out for you,” Delaware State Auditor Kathy McGuiness said. “These funds must be used to help small businesses, the backbone of Maryland and our nation’s economy, keep their lights on and our families employed,” Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot said.
