  • 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.

  • November 3, 2020 the Honorable Kate Brown Governor of Oregon the State Capitol 900 Court Street, NE Salem, Oregon 97301 Dear
    November 3, 2020 The Honorable Kate Brown Governor of Oregon The State Capitol 900 Court Street, NE Salem, Oregon 97301 Dear Governor Brown, We understand that you're hearing from the alcohol industry regarding your proposed beer and wine tax legislation for the 2021 session. We are writing to make clear that our organizations wholly support prioritizing the health and wellness of our communities by raising the price of alcohol and using that revenue to make significant investments in addiction prevention, treatment and recovery services. In the last twenty years Oregon's alcohol mortality rate has increased 34%, leading to five deaths per day resulting from alcohol, while Oregon's beer and wine industries have enjoyed some of the lowest taxes in the nation. The economic cost of this crisis is staggering. The Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission's Statewide Strategic Plan calculated that Oregon is spending an estimated $6.7 billion per year on issues related to substance misuse, the majority of which is a result of harmful alcohol use. State spending on substance use has quadrupled since 2005 and consumed nearly 17% of the state budget in 2017, however less than 1% of those funds are used to prevent, treat and support the recovery of people with substance use disorder. For far too long, Oregon has ranked as one of the worst states in the nation in addressing the disease of addiction, and the absence of adequate funding and attention to this crisis has put an undue financial burden on our healthcare, public safety and criminal justice workforces.

  • 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.

  • April 12, 2021 the Honorable Doug Burgum Governor of North Dakota
    April 12, 2021 The Honorable Doug Burgum Governor of North Dakota 600 E. Boulevard Bismarck, ND 58505 Dear Governor Burgum, As organizations representing physicians, long-term care providers and hospitals, we, the undersigned, sincerely thank you for your leadership throughout the pandemic. As North Dakota’s infection rates climbed and deaths increased, you recognized that local control efforts were not enough and took charge by implementing stronger controls to stop the spread. We applaud you for placing health needs and saving lives before politics. We, the undersigned, oppose HB 1323, as it eliminates authority for the governor and state health officer when North Dakota needs it most – during a pandemic. Your leadership of implementing a state-wide mask mandate significantly reduced COVID-19 infections throughout North Dakota. Statistics show North Dakota went from a high of 11,301 current infections on November 14 to 4,758 infections on December 7 – a 58 percent reduction. During this same period, North Dakota’s 14 day rolling average of positivity went from 15.70 percent on November 14 to 9.79 percent on December 6. Your actions saved lives. North Dakota’s infection rates were the highest in the country. People were dying. The most vulnerable – the elderly and long-term care residents – became the highest COVID-19 war casualties. Although this group represented only 10 percent of infections, statistics show this group resulted in 60 percent of deaths. We lost mothers, fathers, grandparents and loved ones way too soon, leaving survivors to deal with war-torn scars. As we learned from experience, voluntary mask requests and localized mandates are not effective.

The States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nevada and Texas file this suit to compel the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“ Administrator ” or “ EPA ”), to take action mandated by the federal Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 7401 et seq. (the “ CAA ”) to designate areas of the country as attaining or not attaining the revised primary sulfur dioxide (“ SO 2”) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (“ NAAQS ”). On June 2, 2010 the Administrator signed and EPA promulgated the revised SO 2 NAAQS. See 75 Fed. Reg. 35,520 (June 22, 2010) (the “ SO 2 NAAQS ”). Once EPA sets a new or revised NAAQS, the CAA requires States to submit within one year to EPA information indicating which part of that State meets the new or revised NAAQS. 42 U.S.C. § 7407(d). Plaintiffs the States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nevada and Texas each timely submitted to EPA their proposed designations. The CAA then establishes a nondiscretionary duty for the Administrator to designate all areas of the country as (1) “attainment” (if they are attaining the new or revised NAAQS), (2) “nonattainment” (if they are not attaining the NAAQS), or (3) “unclassifiable” (if there is inadequate information to make a designation).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Vanderbilt Law Review by an authorized editor of Scholarship@Vanderbilt Law. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Origins (and Fragility) of Judicial Independence Tara Leigh Grove* The federal judiciary today takes certain things for granted. Political actors will not attempt to remove Article II judges outside the impeachment process; they will not obstruct federal court orders; and they will not tinker with the Supreme Court's size in order to pack it with like-minded Justices. And yet a closer look reveals that these "self- evident truths" of judicial independence are neither self-evident nor necessary implications of our constitutional text, structure, and history. This Article demonstrates that many government officials once viewed these court-curbing measures as not only constitutionally permissible but also desirable (and politically viable) methods of "checking" the judiciary. The Article tells the story of how political actors came to treat each measure as "out of bounds" and thus built what the Article calls "conventions of judicial independence." But implicit in this story is a cautionary tale about the fragility of judicial independence.
