A public records request recently uncovered talking points to argue in favor of the capital gains income tax, saying if farmers and ranchers can make $250,000 in profit each year working less than half time, they can afford to pay 7% on all profits above $250,000.
Although I work in Chicago, I have spent the last few months laser-focused on California, communicating with dozens of assemblymembers and senators from all over the state.
Why is a national nonprofit in Chicago so focused on your state? Because what happens in California is a precursor for what changes our nation. And right now, the future of high-speed rail in the United States will be determined by what California does in the next couple of weeks.
I helped found the national nonprofit High Speed Rail Alliance because of my belief in high-speed rail for all of America. California is home to the closest thing the country has to a finished segment of high-speed line. The Merced to Bakersfield segment â as bumpy and lumpy a road as it has been to build â is well underway. This 171-mile segment will be the backbone of the statewide rail network. It will support trains going 220 mph â the first true high-speed line in the United States.

Islamabad : EU Ambassador to Pakistan Androulla Kaminara has said the European Union continued to support Pakistan in its efforts to strengthen good governance in the country.
To materialize the concept of good governance, the EU would fund a parliamentary project for capacity building of Pakistan’s legislators, she added.
Talking to APP, she said the EU would allocate Euro 9 million, which would be used to strengthen the functioning of public service offices in terms of building up capacity regarding the parliamentary core mandates of legislation, oversight, budget, and representation.
The three-year project, to be implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in collaboration with the Pakistan Institute for Parliamentary Services (PIPS), would work with the National Assembly, the Senate, and the four provincial assemblies of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and Balochistan, she added.
Legislators for improving aids proposed by Chilean government
Legislators for improving aids proposed by Chilean government
Santiago, Chile, May 31 (Prensa Latina) Opposition forces will insist during Congress sessions scheduled for this week on improving the aids announced by the Government to alleviate the economic crisis worsened by Covid-19, it was reported on Monday. In this sense, the senators of those parties signed a statement in which they expressed that they will seek to expand not only the amounts, but also the duration of the Emergency Family Income (IFE) and the bond for the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
On Wednesday, May 26, President Sebastian Piñera announced these measures, but in political and academic sectors, although they considered them superior to previous ones, they were criticized for being inferior to what was long requested from the opposition and being hardly a temporary relief for the SMEs.
