Next up reports notebook. Good morning welcome to reports notebook. Im pat lawson muse. We begin with d. C. Politics in the mayor race. The maryland d. C. Employees International Union gave to gray. The mayor is trying to bounce back from two second straight first place finishes in the poll taken recently. What do you make of endorsements . What do you make of him coming in second in the polls today . Well, hes obviously hopeful his endorsements will make up for the fact hes losing in the straw polls. These arent always the final word. Endorsements dont really make that much difference a lot of times these days. Its nice to have them. You can raise money on them. There seems to be a continuing lingering doubt about this investigation going on and what its going to reveal. It doesnt seem to have an effect on voters. The mayor obviously is touting a great record and Business Development in keeping the red ink out of the budget, doing all things a normally successful candidate can do. Theres still doubt. Theres avenues of polls, endorsements and all. What happened to the 12 points he was leading less than a month ago over bowser the number two contenders. You hear these polls and different paths of whos going to lead whom. The point is that vince gray has a base. Im going to stick to my story ive been saying all the time. I go to the wards. Thats the base that will tell me whos going to be the next mayor. Joe, how much do straw polls and labor endorsements for gray at this point . The labor endorsement is significant. Theres 20,000 members that live in the district. You multiply that times maybe two as it relates to family members and the influence they have in the city. So when you go for an endorsement, you want to try to get the endorsements that have the greatest s in the city. Thats a big one, a major one. I agree with everyone. Except for this i should point out. Remember, this is a short campaign. Getting an endorsement now only a couple of months away can have significance. Barv a basically a month and a half. Eric holder calls for banning after they serve sen ens temperatures. This has been a big issue in the district for those that cant vote at this point. Is this long overdue, jerry . Weve been hearing about this all the way back to almost Walter Washington time. Mayor washingtons time. The fact i served my time, served my sentence. Why cant i come out and live a normal life . Part of that is being able to vote. Remember pat, at that time when i speak of Walter Washington, im speaking into the time when voting was really on the lips of washingtons because of home rule. A lot of that has to do with a lot of people saying those that have served their time should be able to vote. This has been around some time. Let me fast forward. I have literally thousands of people who listen to my show i they can get through. Theyre truck drivers, are in all kinds of occupations. Youll hear story after story. I might have gotten busted on a misdemeanor im sorry, felony that might have been drug related. Ive been clean ten years and still cant vote. I have family, pay taxes, still cant vote. This is a major issue for washington d. C. And certainly major issue for the nation. Quite honestly, it impacts africanamericans substantially. We are the ones who are disproportionally arrested. It seems the trend is nationally to move in favor of letting these folks vote. Ill repeat the arguments weve made. Ive done my time, done my obligations, and i should have my full rights. These are non violent. It has to be done state by state. This is not a federal issue. Thats why a voter cant do anything but encourage it. D. C. Public School Students taking the advanced placement exams have increased 45 in the past three years. A number of them has increased. This is something d. C. Chancellor is proud of of course. The report by the College Board shows 14 of seniors in 2013 who took the exam scored a three or higher. Thats the grade many colleges and universities require to issue College Class work. Big deal for her. Dave . It is. Shes touting it as a big deal. It started under michelle and now following on to henderson. Skeptical parents are worried about schools being closed, worried about the quality of education. Lots of things hold their feet to the fire collectively. This is something they can point to and say look, were doing some good. While theyre pointing to it and looking good, i hope they can latch onto something that had concrete. Because, pat, the problem in this town for the last 50 years 40 years in d. C. Schools, has been the turn around of curricular programs. If this is going to help the student, i hope they latch onto it, build on it, develop it and make it concrete in the school learning. Its very important when you couple it with what Eleanor Holmes norton was able to accomplish by allowing students who want to go to college and get assistance no matter what school they went to. It used to be if you were in maryland you had to go to maryland. Students from the district can go anywhere in the United States. Thanks to the tag program. You have to have the grades to do it. These advancement courses and ive had my children involved in them. They mean a lot. They really count when comes to applying for college. This shows theres seriousness. Were moving in the right direction. Id rather go in that direction than the other. Weve got to take a break. Well be right back. Stay with us. Progress on treating the mentally ill in virginia. Authorities could detain a mentally ill person up to 24 hours under a bill approved by the virginia senate. The Upper Chamber voted overwhemingly to approve this by senator deeds who suffered a personal tragedy in his family. How much progress is this . The sad thing is it took this attack to do it. This is something that people in virginia, across the country have been complaining about. Legislators would not deal with it. Then it takes losing a life, having a state senator attacked, physically scarred. I dont like legislating that way. But its progress. You are still behind a lot of other states when it comes to hours available. As a matter of fact, dave, Mental Health america, an Advocacy Group says the average Custody Order in the country is 72 hours. Virginia is now going to 24, still behind the curve. You wonder why they didnt get as much as they could. They did move forward. They have changed things. Its right, out of tragedy comes a good thing, a better law helpful to people. Maybe we could say the work isnt done yet. They have to think act this more or get more funding or whatever it takes to get more beds and treatment. Lets hope that the National Scene will pick up on this and correct the problems that we hear all the time across the country because this is a very, very serious situation where people who need help cant get help for hours or days. Lets hope this will bring light across the nation as to changing laws in many states. Governor mcauliffe has allies in his efforts to expand medicaid in the state of virginia. Hes got support in the senate, that includes state hospital, insurance company, business organizations even republicans in the senate. Hes getting resistance in the house. Do you think hes going to be able to pull this off this year . I think so. For all reasons you just cited. What you have here is money. Millions of millions of that hospitals and the Health Insurance which by the way is their money. You bring it back to the Common Wealth of virginia. I think its a matter of time. Whats going on in the house of delegates is politics. Yeah, but pardon me. Its strong politics. This is republican doctrine almost. They dont like obama care. They say its just a big power move to the government to take over. They also make the point in virginia and will elsewhere that the money will not be there after ten years or so. That the government may not extend the funding. Thats what theyre worried about. We used to call it unfunded mandates. Theyll be in the red again, have a huge expense on every other expense theyve got. They wont have the money. Theyre against it for that reason. Its going to take a lot to change their mind. Republicans can be against it, but i talked to people in the streets about medicaid, whats happening in virginia, food stamps and things they want to slash. Poor people in the country suffer. Poor people and old people. I think its time republicans in the house and general a sessemb wake up you and realized slashing programs goes to helping the poor. Talk act minimum wage in maryland. Lawmakers will hear a measure to raise the minimum wage. The governor is pushing this and supports the 10. 10 hourly minimum wage by the year 2016. A pro Business Group warns this could lead to thousands of job losses, weaken the states competitive position. This was Research Done at t george mason university. They can research all they want to. Majority of republicans are in favor of raising the minimum wage nationwide. The majority of republicans. Number two, the president signed for contract workers which takes place next year, new contracts. You increase morale. You eliminate high absenteeism. You get quality workers. So, its a great as someone said its a great business model. Of course the governor is doing it because we know he wants to run for president of the United States and wants to be on the right side of the progressive movement. Yeah but the republican and the opponents view is that it will cost too much for bosses. Theyll have to lay people off, spend too much money, and that it could cost a lot of jobs. Some firms in maryland say theyll have to close down operations and burger joints. They say its not worth the effort. Other issstudies contradict thi and say theres not that much reaction from Small Business men, they havent laid off and this is overreaction. Poor people hah need jobs living on 7 an ho
