  • Shelton Johnson National Park Service U.S
    A PROFILE [EXCERPTED]: Shelton Johnson National Park Service U.S. Park Ranger Year Reported/Quoted: 2011 © 2014 MELDI, University of Michigan > The scenery in Shelton Johnson’s life changed drastically and often while he was growing up, but one theme remained constant: the natural world. The younger of two children in a military family, Johnson lived at various points throughout the United States, spending time in Detroit, South Carolina, California, Kansas City, and abroad in Germany and England. It was in Germany that he first remembers feeling a strong attraction to nature. “The Black Forest wasn’t very far from where we lived, and even at a young age it made a deep impact on me,” Johnson recalls. Later, while the family was living in places far from the wild, Johnson found other ways to maintain that connection. Growing up in Detroit’s inner city, wilderness seemed pretty far away, he says. But there was always public television with its programming which focused on environmental issues such as wildlife, wetlands, wilderness conservation, national parks whose programs kept alive the spark of wonder that burned inside me, that fascination for all things wild. > Johnson stayed in Michigan for his undergraduate, earning a bachelor of arts in English literature from the University of Michigan in 1981. He then joined the Peace Corps and served as an English teacher in Liberia, West Africa, where the sight, smell, and feel of the tropics made a profound impression on him. After Liberia, that spark that I had always felt became a flame, and it was getting stronger with each encounter with the natural world, Johnson says.

  • Libertarian Party of Nevada Hosted "Speed Dating" Events Over 2 Days at Different Venues in Las Vegas
    Endorsement Committee This year, we formed an Endorsement Committee comprised of 18 members plus additional Libertarian leadership; the “Committee.” The Committee members conducted their own independent research on each of the candidates and asked them questions at our events. The Committee members took notes and made recommendations on grades and endorsements. Endorsement Committee Chair: Jason Weinman Committee Members: Jason G Smith Jim Duensing Jason Nellis Lesley Chan John McCormack JD Smith Lou Pombo Brady Bowyer Scott Lafata Tim Hagan Brett H. Pojunis Brandon Ellyson Debra Dedmon Nick Klein Andrew Lea Ross Williams Tarina Dark Steve Brown Format - Why "Speed Dating?" The Libertarian Party of Nevada hosted "Speed Dating" events over 2 days at different venues in Las Vegas. The goal was to meet as many candidates as possible in a format similar to speed dating. LPNevada endorsed Candidates in non‐partisan races and graded Candidates in partisan races for the 2014 General Elections. Most organizations do not get one‐on‐one interaction with the candidates; we felt this is important. Endorsements and Grading Non‐Partisan candidates received either a positive (thumbs up) or negative (thumbs down) endorsement from the Committee. Partisan Candidates received a grade of 1 to 5 stars. Candidates who received 1 star were not very Libertarian and candidates who received 5 stars were very good in regards to their position on issues important to Libertarians. The Libertarian Party of Nevada has the following 15 Candidate on the 2014 Ballot. Adam Sanacore, Assembly District 21 Lou Pombo, Assembly District 37 Chris Dailey, White Pine County Commission Louis Gabriel, Assembly District 32 Donald W.

  • Letter from State-Level Elected Leaders in All 50 States Supporting Betsy Devos for Secretary of Education
    LETTER FROM STATE-LEVEL ELECTED LEADERS IN ALL 50 STATES SUPPORTING BETSY DEVOS FOR SECRETARY OF EDUCATION January 17, 2017 The Honorable Lamar Alexander Chairman U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions 428 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Chairman Alexander, As one of the most critical issues impacting the future of our nation, we must have a Secretary of Education committed to the needs of all of our nation’s children. Betsy DeVos has made it her life’s mission to find, support and push for education solutions in her home state of Michigan and across the country. She is an advocate and ally for all children, and we write to you today to express our support for her nomination to this important position as her confirmation hearing approaches. We represent elected state offices from all 50 states, and as such, we each know the impact of an overgrown federal government reaching into the states to push a one-size-fits all approach to education. No two states, localities or school districts are the same, nor are the needs of the children who reside there. Betsy DeVos understands this distinction and for years has embraced a variety of education solutions to meet this need. Her support for an all-of-the-above approach to K-12 education – from charter schools, to public, private and online education – defines the school choice movement that has helped countless children across many of our states. By advancing these innovative solutions from the Department of Education, Betsy DeVos will put children first and empower not only states to lead the way in making critical education decisions, but also empower parents to choose what type of education is best for their children.

Niederhauser, Co–Chair • Speaker Greg Hughes, Co–Chair JOHN M. SCHAFF, CIA Senator Gene Davis • Representative Brian S. King AUDITOR GENERAL February 3, 2016 Senator David Hinkins, Chair Representative Ken Ivory, Chair Public Utilities and Technology Interim Committee Utah State Capitol Complex Salt Lake City, UT 84114 Dear Senator Hinkins and Representative Ivory: Enclosed are copies of the legislative audit report #2016-02, A Review of the Administration of 911 Surcharges. In accordance with Utah Code 36-12-8, the Legislative Audit Subcommittee passed a motion referring this audit report to your committee for further review and action as appropriate. The audit report was also referred to Executive Offices and Criminal Justice Appropriations Subcommittee, but your committee is designated as the lead committee, so we would like a response from you. The Legislative Auditor General and staff have done extensive work and used valuable resources to perform the audit in a professional and thorough manner. The best response from your committee will be to arrive at some conclusion on the issues raised and recommendations made in the report. Therefore, for each recommendation to the Legislature we ask that your committee reach one of the following conclusions, or some combination of the three, by a motion and a vote: · Draft legislation for the upcoming 2016 Legislative General Session for those issues you find to be sufficiently important · Conclude that the issues are significant but that more time is needed to develop solutions and consensus · Conclude that there is insufficient committee support to study the issues further In addition, for other (non-legislative) recommendations we ask that as part of your oversight role you determine whether appropriate action is being taken to address the audit findings.

  • Week 10 Idaho Legislative Update for March 15-19, 2021
    Week 10 Idaho Legislative Update for March 15-19, 2021 The tenth week of the First Regular Session of the Sixty-Sixth Idaho Legislature was fueled by a fervent push to move toward "Sine Die" but ended abruptly Friday as word of several House Members contracting COVID 19 spread. This resulted in the House and Senate pausing for 18 days. The Idaho Legislature is now in recess until April 6, 2021. Prior to recessing this week, both chambers were meeting on the floor morning and afternoon with committee hearings interspersed. Debates were lengthy. The Senate Calendar has 78 items remaining, with more to be added. The House Calendars have 68 items to be dealt with in addition to those bills still moving through committees. With over 150 bills still working through the process on the floor and in committee, the session seems far from over. This week we saw the introduction of another new transportation idea and a tax relief bill fast-tracked through the House, which was later found to have a significant drafting error that will likely mean amendments are necessary in the Senate. The big battles of the session were certainly ramping up before the abrupt stop. Thursday, Idaho Governor Brad Little held a Press Conference where he outlined the state's allocation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) federal funding. How the state will spend billions of dollars, which, based on current U.S. Treasury guidance, cannot be used for tax relief, the top priority for the Governor and Idaho Legislature. The Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee (JFAC) spent the week concluding its budget settings.
