Eyeing China, US stresses bridge-building in Okinawa
Yomiuri Shimbun file photo TOKYO — When U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel met with Okinawa Gov. Denny Tamaki at the Okinawa prefectural government office on April 27, he told Tamaki that what Japan and the United States do together will shape the next 30 years in the region surrounding Okinawa Prefecture. Emanuel stressed the significance of deepening the Japan-U.S. alliance with a view to deterring China, saying the two countries have a responsibility to cooperate. It was the first time in about four years and five months that a U.S. ambassador to Japan had met with the Okinawa governor in the prefecture. Emanuel’s visit to Okinawa Prefecture three months after arriving to take up his new post is perceived as showing that the United States is aware of the significance of its military bases in the prefecture and the importance of understanding the local community. The importance of the U.S. military presence in Okinawa is growing. A contingency in the Taiwan Strait has begun … [Read more...] about Eyeing China, US stresses bridge-building in Okinawa
What Is a Shuttered Venue Operators Grant?
The $16.25 billion Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) program was established by the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act, which was part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 , signed into law on Dec. 27, 2020. Administration of the program falls to the Small Business Administration (SBA) . Effective Aug. 20, 2021, the SBA stopped accepting new SVOG applications. The SVOG portal , however, remains open for previous applicants and grantees. The SVOG was amended by the American Rescue Plan Act to offer grants equal to 45% of an eligible venue’s gross earned revenue, with the maximum amount available for a single grant award set at $10 million. Eligible applicants with up to 50 full-time employees were able to draw from a reserve pot of $2 billion. After several delays, the SVOG program began accepting applications April 26, 2021. The SVOG program got off to a slow start and by June 3, 2021, had awarded just 50 grants … [Read more...] about What Is a Shuttered Venue Operators Grant?
Opinion: Colorado’s law shields public officials accused of sexual misconduct
An exception to Colorado public records law has largely shielded investigations into sexual misconduct allegations against public officials from scrutiny. That needs to change. Last August, the state of New York released an independent report into the investigation of whether former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo had allegedly sexually harassed state employees. All of it was made public — 165 pages, and not a single redaction. A month later, here in Colorado, Denver Public School officials released the findings of an independent investigation into the alleged sexual misconduct of DPS Board Director Tay Anderson. Instead of making the entire report public, however, they redacted large portions of the investigative findings (at least 17 of the 96 pages were redacted) and a district court in Denver ruled earlier this year that those redactions were lawful. If you’re asking yourself why New Yorkers benefit from transparency where Coloradans don’t, the answer lies in an exemption to our … [Read more...] about Opinion: Colorado’s law shields public officials accused of sexual misconduct
