Continue to look to the states, Best, Continued from page 1 The State Financial Officers Foundation (SFOF) has been closely monitoring many of these regulations and have been particularly concerned by federal overreach at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and other financial agencies. To us, President Trump brings the promise of relief. As an experienced businessman who has lived life outside the Capital Beltway, he understands what American entrepreneurship needs to innovate and thrive. During his campaign, Donald Trump ran under the slogan, “Make America Great Again.” State financial officers like me are ready to do our part to turn those words into action. We’re looking forward to what the future holds for the American people because Donald Trump is going to be a very good president.

Bishop and Rep. McMorris Rodgers: Executive Committee Henry Beck, ME As we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act David Damschen, UT Tim Eichenberg, NM (ADA), we can be proud of its positive impact on veterans with disabilities, while acknowledging Michael Frerichs, IL that there is much left to do. Dennis Milligan, AR Kelly Mitchell, IN The main purpose of the ADA is to provide people with disabilities equality of opportunity, full Shawn Wooden, CT participation in society, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency. But for more than two Executive Director decades after its passage, economic self-sufficiency was impossible for some. People with Shaun Snyder disabilities who need government benefits in order to live independently were blocked from saving 1201 Pennsylvania Ave, NW money. Without savings, economic self-sufficiency is unattainable. And without being able to Suite 800 fully participate in the economy, the other goals will not be fully realized. Washington, DC 20004 When the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act was passed into law in 2014, many www.NAST.org Americans with disabilities were empowered to save their own money to help pay for their disability expenses without fear of losing federal and state benefits. The Act was a meaningful step forward for people with disabilities. However, it came up short. After more than five years, and on the 30th birthday of the ADA, millions of Americans with disabilities, including veterans, still remain ineligible to open an ABLE account simply because they acquired their disability after they turned 26 years old.

For 53 years, South Carolina Republicans have gathered together each year to forget... celebrate our party’s conservative principles, as well as the donors and activists who help promote those principles in our government. While our Party has enjoyed increasing success in the years since our Elephant Club was formed, we always have to remember that no victories are ever perma- nent. They are dependent on our continuing to be faithful to do the fundamen- tals: communicating a clear conservative message that is relevant to voters, identifying and organizing fellow Republicans, and raising the money to make it all possible. As we gather this evening on the anniversary of the tragic terrorists attacks on our homeland in 2001, we’re reminded about what’s at stake in our elections this year - the protection of our families, our homes, our property, our borders and our fundamental values. This year’s election offers us an incredible opportunity to continue to expand our Party.

    April 15, 2013 The Honorable Dave Camp The Honorable Sander Levin Chairman Ranking Member Ways and Means Committee Ways and Means Committee United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives 1102 Longworth House Office Building 1102 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Chairman Camp and Ranking Member Levin: As members of the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST), we are writing to impress upon you the importance of maintaining the current tax exemption for municipal bond interest. For more than 100 years, tax-exempt bonds have been the primary financing mechanism for essential state and local infrastructure projects. The need to build and maintain our public infrastructure has never been more acute. Three quarters of all public infrastructure projects in the United States are built by the states and local governmental entities. Eliminating or reducing the tax exemption will greatly limit our ability to address these needs, resulting in fewer projects, fewer jobs and deteriorating infrastructure. Tax-exempt municipal bonds are the primary tool that state and local governments use to finance highways, bridges, transit systems, airports, water and wastewater systems, schools, higher education facilities, and many other projects. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, the nation should spend $2.749 trillion by the year 2020 to meet our currently anticipated critical infrastructure needs.1 Much of the responsibility for addressing these needs rests with states, counties, and cities. Tax-exempt municipal bonds provide a mechanism for bringing private capital to those public projects, while saving an average of 25 to 30 percent on interest costs compared to taxable bonds.
