Handicapping the 2010 Gubernatorial Elections


By Dr. Jason Johnson If American elections were viewed in the


same light as professional sports August could safely be called the middle of the sea- son. Now that some of the biggest primaries are over it’s pretty clear who’s making the playoffs (the fall elections) and who the con- tenders (well funded outsiders) and the pre- tenders (Hard right Tea Party candidates) really are. The press is trying to come up with the


trendy pick for the fall prognosticating which House of Congress is mostly likely to fall to the anti-incumbent or Pro-Republican wave that has still yet to materialize nationally. The majority of pundits are paying attention to Congress, which makes for good cable news stories but that’s not where the real ac- tion is in 2010. The governor’s races of 2010 are the most important races we’ve seen in a decade and that action is what will really dictate president Obama’s fortunes in 2012. Governor’s races are the hidden gems


of off year elections but they seldom get na- tional press coverage because historically races hinge on local issues like education and roads. But not this year, with the Stimu- lus Package, Unemployment Insurance ex- tensions, Immigration and the impending Healthcare reforms governors will play a key role in implementing many of the major poli- cies that President Obama has staked his presidency on. Governor’s are responsible for implementing federal policy and distribut- ing federal funds so swings in the number of seats held by the president’s party have a huge impact on the perceived effectiveness of his national agenda. But it gets even more specific than that. While Congress is often referred to as


an incubator for presidential candidates it’s governors that produce the most effective challengers to sitting presidents. The suc- cess rate of Senators who become party nominees pales in comparison to gover- nors. The only presidential candidate to go straight from the Senate to the White House in the last 40 years was Barack Obama in 08’. However, four of the last six presidents of the United States were former governors. So if you’re looking at the ‘farm team’ for


the presidential candidates and VP nomi- nees in 2012 governor’s races are where the action is. The stage is set for some fairly conten-


tious races around the country, with 37 gov- ernor’s mansions up for grabs ranging from deep red states like Georgia to deep blue states like Massachusetts. Republicans cur- rently have to defend 17 mansions and the Democrats are protecting 20, so a simple shift of 5 to 7 victories in one direction or an- other could have a huge impact on policy for the next several years. Right now, according to political prog-


nosticators like The Cook Political Report and The Swing State Project the landscape is pretty treacherous for the president and the Democrats. Critical swing states like Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota and Wisconsin are looking like toss-ups mid-way through the election season and even some Democratic strongholds like Pennsylvania are viewed as leaning Republican. The mes- sage is pretty clear, if the economy doesn’t improve and the president can’t wrestle the public narrative away from the angry right he’ll be travelling to a lot of hostile territory in the coming presidential election. History says that the president’s party


loses Congressional seats and Governor- ships during mid – term elections and that is the natural event that affects all presi- dents when the honeymoon of their first two years in office wears off. Conventional wisdom argues losing some house seats is actually good for the president, since they can contrast their activism with a do-nothing congress which helps make their case to the American people. That’s what happened with Bill Clinton,


but that won’t work for Barack Obama. Clin- ton turned his battles with Congress into a head to head grudge match between himself and Newt Gingrich and he won. Obama’s biggest enemy is the recession and health- care crisis and no matter the make up of Congress he’s going to be blamed if he can’t manage to take command of these prob- lems.


Perhaps Obama can portray a future


Republican Congress as “The Party of No” but if the administration is facing 25 lawsuits from GOP governors fighting Healthcare Reform eventually the public is going to side with their local states over the charming leaders in Washington. Right now it is political half-time and


team Obama needs to get back in the locker room to figure out some new plays and ways to put political points on the board. If they don’t they might not just lose this upcom- ing season but may pave the way for a new ‘champion’ to take the white house in 2012.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT


The City of Detroit has determined that these projects will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 is not required. In accordance with Title 24 CFR Section 58.36, Environmental Assessments were completed for each project, and these assessments are part of the Environmental Review Record that docu- ments the environmental review of these projects. The Environmental Review Record for each project is on file at the Planning & Development Department, 65 Cadillac Square, Suite 1200, Detroit, Michigan 48226. The Records are available for public examination and copying, upon request, weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.


PUBLIC COMMENT


All interested agencies, groups and persons disagreeing with the environmental review findings are invited to submit written comments for consideration. Such written comments should identify the particular project and should be received at the City’s address listed above on or before September 2, 2010. The City will consider all such comments so re- ceived, and the City of Detroit will not request the release of federal funds or take any administrative action on the project prior to the above date.


RELEASE OF FUNDS


The City of Detroit will undertake the project described above with Federal funds received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provided under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1998. The City of Detroit is certifying to the HUD Detroit Field Office that the City of Detroit and Mayor Dave Bing, or other official approved by HUD, in his official capacity as Mayor, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in rela- tion to environmental reviews, decision-making and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the certification is that, upon its approval, the City of Detroit may use the HOME Investment Partnership Funds, and HUD will have satisfied its responsibilities under the NEPA and related laws and authorities.


OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS


HUD will accept an objection to its approval of release of funds and acceptance of the cer- tification only if it is one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not in fact executed by the chief executive officer or other officer of the applicant approved by HUD; (b) the applicant’s environmental review record for the project indicates an omission of a required decision, finding or step applicable to the project in the environmental review process; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursu- ant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.


Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedure outlined in Title 24 CFR Section 58.76, and may be addressed to HUD at U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Department, Detroit Field Office, Patrick V. McNamara Federal Building, 17th Floor, 477 Michigan Avenue, Detroit, Michigan 48226. Potential objectors should contact Rasheedah Dix, HUD Detroit Field Office, at (313) 226-7900, ext. 8901 or via fax (313) 226-6689 to verify the actual last day of the objection period.


HUD will not consider objections to the release of funds on a basis other than those stated. Nor will HUD consider objections received after September 25, 2010
