  • Washington, D.C. Update – September 2016
    GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND PUBLIC POLICY September 2016 This is an advertisement. Washington, D.C. Update Clinton and Trump: A Policy Comparison This month, we have a special edition of the Baker Donelson Washington Update focusing on what to expect from the 45th President of the United States. Of course we are all waiting on the November election to find out whether that will be Secretary Hillary Clinton or Mr. Donald Trump; in the meantime, we will examine a number of the candidates’ statements, proposals and announced transition teams to get a sense of what we can expect when a new president is sworn into office on January 20, 2017. Here is what is included in this month’s Washington Update: • Taxes – Clinton and Trump Propose Diametrically Opposed Tax Plans • Trade and Investment – A Rare Area of Agreement on TPP • The Economy – Two Differing Ways to Grow the Economy and Create Shared Prosperity • Energy and Environment – Opposites on Oil, Gas and Coal; Potential Overlap in Nuclear Power • Health Care – The Fight Over the ACA Continues • Presidential Transition Teams Regarding the potential for a long-term budget and appropriations deal or the future of defense spending, other than a commitment by Secretary Clinton to provide “budgetary certainty to facilitate reforms and enable long-term planning,” these issues have not been meaningfully addressed by either campaign. For additional information regarding the current budget decisions, please see the Washington, D.C. Fall Preview in which we examined the FY17 appropriations process and discussed the future of defense policy with former Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force retired General Carrol “Howie” Chandler.

  • 1 Who Brings the Funny? 3 Mirroring the Political Climate: Satire in History
    Notes 1 Who Brings the Funny? 1 . Obscenity, incitement to violence, and threatening the life of the president are several examples of restrictions on expression. 2 . There have been several cases of threats against political cartoonists and comedians made by Islamic extremists who felt their religion was being mocked. These examples include (but are not limited to) the Danish political cartoonist who drew a depiction of the Prophet Mohammed, the creators of South Park who pretended to, and David Letterman who mocked Al Qaida. 3 Mirroring the Political Climate: Satire in History 1 . I urge readers to review K. J. Dover’s (1974) and Jeffrey Henderson’s (1980) work on Aristophanes, and see Peter Green (1974) and Susanna Morton Braund (2004). Other work on Juvenal includes texts by Gilbert Highet (1960) and J. P. Sullivan (1963). I have also been directed by very smart people to Ralph M. Rosen, Making Mockery: The Poetics of Ancient Satire, (New York: Oxford University Press, 2 0 0 7 ) . 2 . Apparently, the “definitive” Pope prose is found in the volume edited by Ault and Cowler (Oxford: Blackwell, 1936–1986), and the “definitive” text for Gay’s poetry is edited by Dearing (Oxford: Clarendon, 1974). 3. The best collection from Swift comes from Cambridge Press: English Political Writings 1711–1714, edited by Goldgar (2008). Thanks to Dr. Sharon Harrow for her assistance in finding this authoritative resource. 4 . The most authoritative biographies of Franklin are from Isaacson (2003) and Brands (2002), and I recommend readers look to these two authors for more information on one of the most fascinating of our founding fathers.

    Stockton Hosts Former Gov. Thomas Kean, Former Attorney General John Farmer Jr. for “A Revealing Look at 9/11” Packed Alton Auditorium Audience Listens to “Insiders” Perspective on Worst Terrorist Attack in U.S. For Immediate Release Thursday, September 16, 2010 Contact: Tim Kelly Office of Public Relations Galloway Township, NJ 08240 [email protected] (609) 652-4950 Galloway Township, NJ- A failure to communicate at the highest levels among governmental agencies led to the nation’s inability to recognize and respond effectively to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, according to John Farmer Jr., senior counsel to the government’s 9/11 Commission and former New Jersey Attorney General. Thomas Kean, former Governor of New Jersey who co-chaired the Commission, said, “the terrorists’ new strategy is for smaller attacks and to recruit Americans and other diverse people who don’t fit the profile of Middle Eastern terror organizations. We need to continue to fight the war on terrorism, particularly within our borders.” The pair gave these thoughts and many others before a crowd of more than 400 people who filled the Elizabeth Alton Auditorium and spilled into an overflow room to watch the event on video. The William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy presented the talk, “A Revealing Look at 9/11,” to a rapt audience of dignitaries, students, faculty, staff, and community members. The event, held roughly one year from the 10th anniversary of the attacks on America, presented a unique perspective on the events of that fateful and tragic day in U.S.

    NAREIT capitol Summer 2009 comments The quote to the left is attributed to the former Speaker of the House of "All politics is local." Representatives, Thomas P. (“Tip”) O’Neill, Jr. However, as revealed in his 1987 autobiography, Man of the House, O’Neill did not coin this phrase – it was —Thomas P. O’Neill, Jr. passed down to him from his father, Thomas O’Neill, Sr., on the occasion of the only political election the former Speaker ever lost, a seat on the Cambridge, MA City Council. As recorded in the book, “…when [the campaign] was over, [my father] pointed out that I [had] taken my own neighborhood for granted…I had received a tremendous vote in the other sections of the city, but I hadn’t worked hard enough in my own backyard. ‘Let me tell you something I learned years ago,’ he said, ‘all politics is local.’” And so, with this quote, the strong link between knowing what is happening in one’s own backyard and being a successful politician entered the political lexicon. For this reason, NAREIT staff began three years ago to undertake a serious effort to familiarize Members of Congress and Senators with the various REIT properties that form part of every Congressional backyard, or district. After all, there is at least one REIT property located in each of the 435 congressional districts. Legislators have accepted invitations to visit specific REIT properties located in their districts or states – shopping centers, regional malls, office buildings, research centers, and industrial warehouses – that were recently opened, recently expanded or redeveloped, or simply constituted a significant presence in the district’s local economy.

In developing our list, we eliminated anyone who currently holds elected office, as well as the Judiciary. This precludes some people, Assemblyman/Democratic State Chairman Joe Cryan, for example. We also eliminated the living former Governors, United States Senators, and, of course, Bill Gormley: we believe this particular group remains highly influential and well-respected. This is an Insiders List. We looked at policy makers, party leaders, fundraisers, lobbyists, labor unions, businesses, and associations and have assembled the ultimate list of New Jerseyans with clout, with an impact on politics and government in the Garden State. We selected names based on a fairly unscientific curve: we allocated spaces on this list for a dozen different categories within the New Jersey political community -- so #11 on the list of important fundraisers or donors doesn’t make the list, but the most influential congressional staffer does.
