The concept of interstate travel reflected the increasing rate of regional and national migration that occurred during and after WWII. As the interstate highways were planned in 1956 and thereafter many planners and politicians insisted that that those highways be aligned to serve both commuter (city-suburb) traffic as well as interstate traffic. Many Judd Wanda Photo by small towns actually wanted the interstates to transit through their communities to promote local businesses, but the requirements of “How far to the next Rest Area?” the interstate highway system was to promote more rapid and safer BY BONNIE AtWOOD flow of both commuter and commercial traffic.

  • Verizon 2009 Political Contribution Report
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2009 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2009 1 A Message from Tom Tauke 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 the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely 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 25 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. This report lists all PAC contributions and corporate political contributions made by Verizon in 2009. The contribution process 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 intend to 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. Thomas J. Tauke Executive Vice President Public
