  • W-15J the Honorable Tim Walz Governor of Minnesota 130 State
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION 5 77 WEST JACKSON BOULEVARD CHICAGO, IL 60604-3590 REPLY TO THE ATTENTION OF: W-15J The Honorable Tim Walz Governor of Minnesota 130 State Capitol 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. St. Paul, Minnesota 55155-1611 Dear Governor Walz: The Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians (the Tribe) has applied to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for program authorization under sections 518, 303, and 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Approval of the application would allow the Tribe to adopt, review, and revise water quality standards pursuant to Section 303(c) of the CWA and to certify that discharges comply with those water quality standards pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA, for all surface waters within the Red Lake Reservation and on certain tribally held trust lands outside the Reservation. In accordance with Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) §131.8(c)(2)-(3), EPA is requesting comments from the State of Minnesota on the Tribe’s assertion of authority to regulate surface water quality on the lands described above. A copy of the complete application and supporting maps can be found online at: https://www.epa.gov/mn/red-lake-band-chippewa- indians-minnesota-application-treatment-state-water-quality-standards. In addition to this written notice, EPA will issue a public notice in the Bemidji Pioneer and the Red Lake Nation News. The public notice will notify interested parties of the request for comments and, at the request of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), will advise them to send comments on the Tribe’s assertion of authority to EPA rather than to the State of Minnesota.

  • Governors Murphy, Cuomo, Malloy, Raimondo, Baker, Carney and Rosselló Announce Na…
    5/7/2018 Office of the Governor | GOVERNORS MURPHY, CUOMO, MALLOY, RAIMONDO, BAKER, CARNEY AND ROSSELLÓ ANNOUNCE NA… STATE OF NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR PHIL MURPHY GOVERNORS MURPHY, CUOMO, MALLOY, RAIMONDO, BAKER, CARNEY AND ROSSELLÓ ANNOUNCE NATION’S FIRST REGIONAL GUN VIOLENCE RESEARCH CONSORTIUM Trenton - New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, Delaware Governor John Carney, and Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló today announced the nation’s first Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium, a key initiative of the historic “States for Gun Safety” coalition between New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Delaware, and Puerto Rico. The consortium brings the thought leaders and top researchers from partner states together to undertake significant new research on all manners of gun violence, data collection and analysis across multiple disciplines. This unprecedented effort will provide the public, including policymakers, with new information to ultimately reduce the scourge of gun violence. This groundbreaking consortium fills the void left by the federal government's 1996 ban on the use of federal funds to study gun violence, which has obstructed research efforts across the nation, including at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. Governor Phil Murphy said, “Despite having some the toughest gun laws in the nation, New Jersey has suffered from roughly 80 percent of our gun crimes being committed with a gun trafficked across our borders. We’re losing young people across our state to the senseless epidemic of gun violence as Congress sits idly by on this issue.

  • RICE V. CAYETANO, GOVERNOR of HAWAII Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
    528US2 Unit: $U29 [06-15-01 20:43:16] PAGES PGT: OPIN OCTOBER TERM, 1999 495 Syllabus RICE v. CAYETANO, GOVERNOR OF HAWAII certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the ninth circuit No. 98–818. Argued October 6, 1999—Decided February 23, 2000 The Hawaiian Constitution limits the right to vote for nine trustees chosen in a statewide election. The trustees compose the governing authority of a state agency known as the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, or OHA. The agency administers programs designed for the benefit of two sub- classes of Hawaiian citizenry, “Hawaiians” and “native Hawaiians.” State law defines “native Hawaiians” as descendants of not less than one-half part of the races inhabiting the islands before 1778, and “Ha- waiians”—a larger class that includes “native Hawaiians”—as descend- ants of the peoples inhabiting the Hawaiian Islands in 1778. The trust- ees are chosen in a statewide election in which only “Hawaiians” may vote. Petitioner Rice, a Hawaiian citizen without the requisite ancestry to be a “Hawaiian” under state law, applied to vote in OHA trustee elections. When his application was denied, he sued respondent Gover- nor (hereinafter State), claiming, inter alia, that the voting exclusion was invalid under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The Federal District Court granted the State summary judgment. Survey- ing the history of the islands and their people, it determined that Con- gress and Hawaii have recognized a guardian-ward relationship with the native Hawaiians, which is analogous to the relationship between the United States and Indian tribes. It examined the voting qualifica- tions with the latitude applied to legislation passed pursuant to Con- gress’ power over Indian affairs, see Morton v.

    9 RHODE (DO NOT DELETE) 5/26/2021 9:12 AM LEADERSHIP IN TIMES OF SOCIAL UPHEAVAL: LESSONS FOR LAWYERS Deborah L. Rhode* This article explores the leadership challenges that arose in the wake of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread protests following the killing of an unarmed Black man, George Floyd. Lawyers have been key players in both crises, as politicians, general counsel, and leaders of protest movements, law firms, bar associations, and law enforcement agencies. Their successes and failures hold broader lessons for the profession generally. Even before the tumultuous spring of 2020, two-thirds of the public thought that the nation had a leadership crisis. The performance of leaders in the pandemic and the unrest following Floyd’s death suggests why. The article proceeds in three parts. Part I explores leadership challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and the missteps that put millions of lives and livelihoods as risk. It begins by noting the increasing frequency and intensity of disasters, and the way that leadership failures in one arena—health, environmental, political, or socioeconomic—can have cascading effects in others. Discussion then summarizes key leadership attributes in preventing, addressing, and drawing policy lessons from major crises. Particular attention centers on the changes in legal workplaces that the lockdown spurred, and which ones should be retained going forward. Analysis also centers on gendered differences in the way that leaders addressed the pandemic and what those differences suggest about effective leadership generally. Part II examines leadership challenges in the wake of Floyd’s death for lawyers in social movements, political positions, private organizations, and bar associations.

  • Do Top Business Leaders Make Good Governors? a Regression Discontinuity Design
    1 Paper Presented for 5th Annual Public Finance Consortium— “Politics and Administration in Public Finance” School of Public and Environmental Affairs Indiana University, Bloomington Do Top Business Leaders Make Good Governors? A Regression Discontinuity Design Can Chen, PhD Associate Professor Andrew Young School of Policy Studies Georgia State University Boyuan Zhao PhD Candidate Department of Public Policy and Administration Florida International University Please do not cite this paper without the authors’ permission. 1 2 INTRODUCTION Recently, a growing number of politicians with prominent business backgrounds are joining the battlefield of politics, running for key positions in offices. Donald Trump is the most recent example of a U.S. president who has constructed his own successful business empire before his political life. At state level, successful business figures have turned into politics and won governorship in different states. For example, Rick Scott, the 45th governor of Florida, was the owner of Hospital Corporation of America and a venture capitalist, and Kevin Stitt, current governor of Oklahoma, was the founder, chairman and CEO of Gateway Mortgage Group. These candidates have successful executive experience as business leaders, while many of them have little or no experience in public offices prior to their governor tenure. Their professional career path distinctively contrasts with “conventional” career politicians who typically hold law degrees, start their career from legal affair positions, and climb up the political ladder gradually. State governors are key actors in the budgeting process of the states. Governors are responsible for budget development and recommendation, in which promote their policy preference. Besides, they have line-item veto power on the state budget.

Governing New Jersey: Reflections on the Publication of a Revised and Expanded Edition of 'The Governors of New Jersey' Abstract New Jersey’s chief executive enjoys more authority than any but a handful of governors in the United States. Historically speaking, however, New Jersey’s governors exercised less influence than met the eye. In the colonial period few proprietary or royal governors were able to make policy in the face of combative assemblies. The Revolutionary generation’s hostility to executive power contributed to a weak governor system that carried over into the 19th and 20th centuries, until the Constitution was thoroughly revised in 1947.
