We have 7-10 times more people in prison than countries in Europe and 60% of those in prison never graduated from high school. The benefits of mentoring are profound since there is compelling evidence that mentoring helps keep children in school, helps them avoid drugs, gangs, crime, prison, and welfare while earning substantially higher incomes. Six Princeton professors liked this idea, but we need the people in politics to pay attention.

Because what is happening isn’t right!

According to Politico, Chao's Transportation Department has designated a special liaison to help with grant applications and other priorities from her husband Mitch McConnell's state of Kentucky. This has paved the way for grants totaling at least $78 million, at a time when McConnell is preparing to campaign for reelection. Other states do not enjoy this privilege, so this gives a special advantage to projects favored by her husband, which in turn benefits his political interests, all of which is unethical.

Our goal is to make sure that the district does not make any decision that has potentially harmful effects to the student by the placement of the programs.

Months ago, the Joint Committee on Education had this session’s hearing on the PROMISE Act which seeks both to increase investment in our schools and change the formula so it is more equitable. Since then we have not seen movement out of this committee. Recent news coverage from The Boston Globe has indicated that there is a major fault line in the Education Committee's negotiations surrounding the question of how much to boost funding for low-income districts. We are concerned and alarmed by this news, especially since this is an inexplicable back-track for the committee. Last year, House and Senate Democrats and Republicans unanimously supported FBRC’s full recommendation for our state’s poorest students. The previous consensus on this issue is nearly unprecedented and signals the weight of both the FBRC’s recommendations and the common-sense understanding that it will take at least as much investment to close gaps for our poorest students as we currently spend on more privileged students. These necessary reforms are included in the PROMISE Act, which is co-sponsored by more than half of the members of the Legislature. We know that all of the FBRC’s reforms are possible given the state budget that the Senate just passed. Given the extraordinary levels of pre-existing consensus behind these reforms, we fear the Education Committee’s “working on” the issue of low-income allotment is a euphemism for back-tracking on it. We urge you, our legislators, to insist that any bill advancing to the House or Senate floor contain at least as much commitment to low-income students as last year’s Education Committee bill. Anything less would be a shocking abandonment of both principles and realism about what it takes to close achievement gaps. In addition we call on our legislators to push other key issues like fixing the negative fiscal impact of charter schools on district-school students, accurately counting low-income students in each district, and supporting English learners and special education students. As a minimum starting point on all of the above, we need a credible bill out of committee that includes the five FBRC recommendations, including the full low-income rate. We MUST fix our broken education funding system to create equity in our school system and equal opportunity particularly for our low-income districts. We call on the Education Committee and all legislators to make a commitment to equity and our public schools by complying with the FBRC’s recommendations.

Several times per month there are numerous noise complaints along with reports of violent crimes such as drugs, theft, assault, property damage and weapons.

Since January, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has prevented over 100 bills that have passed in the House from even coming up for a vote. His actions obstruct and ignore legislation that millions of Americans backed by electing a Democratic House majority in 2018. Transportation Secretary Chao, who was swiftly confirmed to her cabinet post in January 2017 by the Senate that’s run by her husband Mitch McConnell, was forced to scrap a trip to China later that year after she tried to get State Department officials to serve as travel agents for a family member. In the same trip, she sought to have her relatives, who run a prominent American shipping company in China, included in a government meeting with Chinese officials. After State Department officials at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing flagged the requests and reporters began asking questions, Chao suddenly backed out of the trip. Nonetheless, during Chao's first year leading the Transportation Department, her calendar included "at least 21 interviews or meetings with Chinese-language news organizations," according to reporting by the New York Times. It just so happens that Chao and McConnell have been big beneficiaries, both personally and politically, of the Foremost Group shipping company run by Chao's family. Chao's father James ran the company until last year and showered the two with "millions of dollars in gifts." Chao's father and sister Angela, who has taken over as the company's CEO, have also funneled more than $1 million in donations to McConnell's campaign coffers. McConnell has always been a huge fan of politics being awash in money, and he has relied heavily on out-fundraising his opponents to make up for what he lacks in natural charisma as a politician. On top of it all, Chao now oversees the American shipping industry as Transportation Secretary, raising obvious conflict of interest issues. But her efforts to promote the company in China, particularly among government officials, are also at odds with the Trump administration's current posture toward China on trade. Foremost, for instance, has secured "hundreds of millions of dollars in loan commitments" from a state-run bank in China. The company also has long-term agreements with a state-owned steel maker that help ensure Foremost maintains a steady stream of revenues. Chao's sister and father have also sat on the board of a state-owned company that builds ships for the Chinese military, while her sister also sits on the board of Bank of China, one of the state-owned shipbuilders' primary lenders. In the meantime, Chao in her capacity at Transportation Secretary has been actively slashing efforts to shore up the American shipping industry. In other words, while her family's business has cozied up to the Chinese government to promote its business interests, Chao is effectively undermining the American shipping industry here at home. That conflict of interest has caught the eye of lawmakers like California Rep. Alan Lowenthal, whose district features a massive cargo port. "The Chinese government is massively engaged in maritime expansion as we have walked away from it,” Lowenthal told the Times. “There is going to come a crisis, and we are going to call upon the U.S. maritime industry, and it is not going to be around.” The Times piece is lengthy and includes a statement from Chao, though she did not grant an interview. A Transportation Department spokesperson accused the Times of weaving “together a web of innuendos and baseless inferences.” The Times maintained that its reporting uncovered “the Chaos had an extraordinary proximity to power in China for an American family.”

As an avid USMNT supporter, I cannot sit idly by as the USSF and Gregg Berlhalter continue to show a blatant disregard for the supporters and a heightened level of nepotism when it comes to player selection. It is clear to me that Gregg Berlhalter doesn't see the big picture when it comes to preparation for the next World Cup, and instead has provided a squad that will not be competitive on the world stage, even with a lot of young talent at his disposal. If we continue down this path, it will be difficult for us to recover. This needs to end.
