Kevin Mitschelen's Video Press Release: #1 The first in a series of online video press releases.
Full text of the press release is as (More) The first in a series of online video press releases.
Full text of the press release is as follows:
"I believe Ivy Tech is important to the welfare and education of our state. Ivy Tech has been a positive influence for many years throughout the state and I would like to see this institution flourish in years to come. It is my intention to see Ivy Tech become stronger and questions arriving from this press release should provide that opportunity.
The question today: Should B. Patrick Bauer hold his position at Ivy Tech?
As a candidate for the House District 6-statements and questions should be made concerning this conflict of interest. B. Patrick Bauer is not alone in the ethical concern of double dipping. Three members of the General Assembly hold powerful positions to the community college therefore providing influence within the legislature: Rep. B. Bauer, Rep. Craig Fry and Rep. William Crawford.
As the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette points out: "It is difficult to imagine how the state budget and education policy issues can be handled objectively by lawmakers with direct financial ties to one state institution."
a. The ways and Means Committee writes the first draft of a state budget. That determines how much state money goes every two years to Ivy tech. Senate and House leaders have great power to shape final budget language.
b. Education is the largest expenditure in the state budget, and it tarnishes the process to have university employees playing major roles in budget-and policy-making. This is not an unavoidable circumstance of a citizen legislature. It is a clear example of cultivating influence.
c. It's time to eliminate this ethical concern.
A discussion of note took place among Indiana Week in Review reporters and commentators.
The discussion follows the retirement of longtime Ivy tech president Gerald Lamkin.
Jim Shella said, "One of the things I'm getting at—we've talked here about all the legislators and members of legislator's families who work..."
Jon Ketzenberger interrupted: "You mean (do) they still have jobs after this?
Ketz: "You know—if they do the right thing they will make that culture change because it's a conflict of interest to have jobs at Ivy tech directly like—I think they should consider that issue."
Shella: "Do you think that will happen?" (Mike McDaniel laughing in the background)
Ann Delaney: "I think whenever you have a long-term administrator that is stepping down, changes happen."
McDaniel: "Of course it's not gonna happen. Who's gonna consider it? (Shella laughing in background) You're not gonna have that kind of change as far as legislators working for Ivy Tech—it's not gonna happen, not in our lifetime. A lot of people have wondered about it but it's not gonna happen—who is gonna consider it? The legislature? Duh!
Tammony of Plunkitt Hall- required reading by many in history classes but evident in today's political world as well:
a. The Ivy Tech Policy toward active legislatures is honest graft. Influence for one institution over another for employment shows a potential for a conflict of interest.
b. In this time of recession it would prove to be difficult to justify this policy of working for one state institution, bringing a potential for cronyism and corruption.
c. Reporters around the state recognize the conflict of interest.
Ivy Tech, the legislature and the Governor must call an end to this practice. It can be accomplished in our lifetime. Alabama had a similar case and exposed its corruption and cronyism. Will reporters and citizens of Indiana take the next step?"

Speaker Fabian Núñez Assembly Floor Speech on AB1X1 #4 SACRAMENTO -- California Assembly Passes Most Significant State Expansion of Health Care Coverage (More) SACRAMENTO -- California Assembly Passes Most Significant State Expansion of Health Care Coverage in Nation's History, most Californians, Including All Children, Covered Under the Plan.
Historic health care legislation extending coverage to millions of California's uninsured, including all children, was approved by the state Assembly today by a 46-31 vote.
"We've crafted an amazing and historic bill that expands health coverage for those without it and improves health insurance for those already covered," Speaker Núñez said. "This brings us one step closer to making health care a right afforded to everybody in this state, and not just a privilege afforded to those with deep pockets."
Assembly Bill 1X1 is the culmination of nearly a year of negotiations between legislative leaders, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the state's leading labor, business, health care, and consumer groups. Dozens of organizations have embraced the bill, including the Service Employees International Union, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AARP, California Hospital Association, Safeway, March of Dimes, Children Now, Mental Health Association of California, American Nurses Association of California, California Association of Nurse Practitioners, Kaiser Permanente, CIGNA, Blue Shield, and Small Business California.
"No child in this state should be left without adequate health care coverage, and under this proposal, all 800,000 children will be covered," Speaker Núñez added.
AB 1X1 incorporates ideas from a number of stakeholders. It relies on a system of shared responsibility between employers, health care providers, consumers, and government agencies. It requires an individual mandate for most Californians, but provides subsidies for Californians earning up to 400% of the federal poverty line. The bill includes significant cost-containment and transparency language, including a requirement that insurance companies spend no more than 15 cents of every dollar on administrative costs. Those with pre-existing conditions are guaranteed coverage under the plan, and all children will be covered.
It is financed through a combination of fees and taxes to be approved by the voters in a November 2008 ballot initiative that will include a tobacco tax, employer fee assessed along a sliding scale based on annual payroll, a hospital fee, and a county share of cost.
It now heads to the California State Senate for consideration (Less)
