The Economist: Greece - The sorry saga of Syriza
The Economist: Greece - The sorry saga of Syriza
In its first hundred days Greece’s government has failed dismally.
A crunch looms
[…]
Perhaps it was naive to expect anything else. A few years
ago many of the men now in charge spent their time discussing the
contradictions of capitalism over coffee and cigarettes. Few had ever run
anything, let alone a government. Their European contacts were limited. Syriza,
their party, typically won only 3-4% of the vote. But Greece’s economic
calamity transformed its prospects. In 2012 it came within a whisker of power.
And after January’s election it went one better, forming a governing coalition.
Syriza, under the leadership of the new prime minister,
Alexis Tsipras, offered an attractive promise to a country battered by
recession and humiliated by years of tutelage at the hands of foreign
bureaucrats. Mr Tsipras promised to tear up the bail-outs, restore Greek
dignity and keep the euro (as the vast majority of Greeks want). Greece might
also, ministers mused, change the rules of euro-zone governance, to the benefit
of all Europeans.
Three months on, the first two of these pledges are in
tatters, the third looks shaky and the fourth is a bad joke. Less than a month
after the election, Greece agreed to extend its second bail-out until the end
of June, in the hope of securing the €7.2 billion ($8.1 billion) left in the
kitty. The abrasive approach of Mr Tsipras and Mr Varoufakis since then may
have played well at home, but abroad it has won Greece nothing but mistrust and
scorn.

Mikulski, Cardin Lead Maryland Delegation in Requesting Major Disaster Declaration for Baltimore
Mikulski, Cardin Lead Maryland Delegation in Requesting
Major Disaster Declaration for Baltimore
May 27, 2015
Delegation asks President Obama to support Governor Hogan’s
request for a major disaster declaration as Baltimore recovers from recent
unrest
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Barbara A. Mikulski and Ben
Cardin (both D-Md.) were joined by members of Maryland’s Congressional
Delegation today in sending a letter to President Barack Obama supporting
Governor Hogan’s request for a declaration of a major disaster for Baltimore
following recent unrest in the city. If awarded, Maryland will become eligible
for federal disaster recovery dollars through the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA), ensuring the state’s already strained budget is not stretched any
thinner. The letter was signed by Senators Mikulski and Cardin, as well as U.S.
Representatives Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.), Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), Chris Van
Hollen (D-Md.), C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), John P. Sarbanes (D-Md.),
Donna F. Edwards (D-Md.) and John Delaney (D-Md.).
“Following the tragic death of Freddie Gray, citizens of
Baltimore reacted with outrage in their demands for truth and their demands for
justice,” the Members wrote. “For seven days, from April 25, 2015 through May
1, 2015, the City of Baltimore experienced civil unrest... Maryland and its
local jurisdictions have contributed a vast amount of resources, which will
continue to have economic impacts around our state. A Major Disaster
declaration is necessary to help provide the resources needed by all.”
The full text of the delegation’s letter of support is as
follows:
May 26, 2015
The President
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
We are writing to express our strong support for Governor
Hogan’s May 21, 2015 request for a Major Disaster declaration for the City of
Baltimore. Given the massive impact that the situation in Baltimore is having
on the state’s resources, we respectfully request that you urgently approve
Federal assistance.
Following the tragic death of Freddie Gray, citizens of
Baltimore reacted with outrage in their demands for truth and their demands for
justice. For seven days, from April 25, 2015 through May 1, 2015, the City of
Baltimore experienced civil unrest. The boiling emotions of a small fraction of
Baltimoreans turned into violence and vandalism to homes and businesses that
the vast majority of Baltimore’s citizens have been working to rebuild and
restore.
Governor Hogan took appropriate action under State law and
directed the execution of the State Response Operations Plan in accordance with
Section 401 of the Stafford Act. In addition, the Governor issued an Executive
Order declaring that a State of Emergency existed and activated the Maryland
National Guard to State service. The Governor has certified that additional
Federal assistance is needed. The Governor has provided the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) with a preliminary damage assessment of over $19
million in expenditures for local jurisdiction law enforcement, security,
firefighting, and emergency management costs as well as out-of-state resources
required to supplement local and state resources. This Major Disaster
declaration is necessary to address emergency protective measures and public
buildings and contents per Category B & E of Public Assistance under the
Stafford Act. This situation has the potential to negatively impact services in
other areas, given an already strained state budget environment.
Maryland and its local jurisdictions have contributed a vast
amount of resources, which will continue to have economic impacts around our
state. A Major Disaster declaration is necessary to help provide the resources
needed by all. We appreciate your
consideration of Maryland’s request, and look forward to continue working with
you in this recovery.

News from The Hill
Obama asserts power over small waterways
By Timothy Cama
The Obama administration asserted its authority Wednesday over the nation's small waterways like streams and wetlands, moving forward on one of the most controversial pollution rules of recent years.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers said they are making final their proposed waters of the United States rule, which Republicans and many businesses have long panned as a massive federal overreach that would put the EPA in charge of ditches, puddles and wet areas.

10 States to Avoid if You Have Poor Driving Skills 05/24/15 By Laurie Kulikowski
FollNEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Using bad judgment when driving is not only dangerous, but can cost you thousands in insurance premiums.http://www.thestreet.com/story/13143555/1/10-worst-states-to-be-a-terrible-driver.html
[...]
WalletHub's hypothetical driver is a single male, age 37 years, and driving a 2008 Honda Accord.
Dying to know where your state falls on the list for insurance premiums for high risk drivers? Check out the 10 states where it will cost you the most if you're a bad driver. And when you're done, see the top states where it is the cheapest, despite poor driving.
[...]
10.Maryland
Base Annual Premium: $1,626
Maryland is the tenth most expensive state to be a poor driver in. The state is in the top third of most expensive base premiums compared to all 50 states and the District of Columbia. And being a bad driver will really pile on the cost. For instance, getting into two accidents in two years in Maryland adds $2,015 to annual premiums. Getting a DUI conviction adds $827 per year, according to WalletHub.

Contracts Don’t Make a Family Any Less Natural by Martha Ertman
Contracts Don’t Make a Family Any Less Natural by Martha Ertman
Oscar Wilde famously quipped that the only thing worse than being talked about isnot being talked about. Paradoxically, much of the testimony in his 1895 trial for “gross indecency”—which was reported in papers throughout the world—concerned his relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas, the very person who coined the phrase“the love that dare not speak its name.”
A little more than a century later, that love is on everybody’s lips.
In the United States we’re waiting to see how the Supreme Court decides the marriage cases it’s reviewing, and Wilde’s home country just became the first in the world to extend marriage equality to same-sex couples by popular vote. Freakishly smart and always happy to grab the spotlight, Wilde would likely have been one of the many Irish expats who traveled home to vote “yes” on the marriage referendum and probably would have taken delight in eviscerating the arguments put forth by nay-sayers, like Michael Brendan Dougherty, who claim that same-sex marriage is “unnatural.” Wilde would be right. It’s clear that when defenders of what they call “traditional marriage” have to justify their position, none of their arguments stand up to scrutiny.
Marriage opponents’ first error is historic. Dougherty imagines a past where genetic parenthood determined legal and social parenthood. But that past does not exist. To the contrary, both law and society have long recognized that love comes in different packages. Some are more common—heterosexuality, marriage, parents raising kids conceived with the fun, free stuff lying around the house—but that hardly makes them “natural.”

Cleveland agrees to strict new rules on its police department
By Sari Horwitz
The city of Cleveland has agreed to have its police
department overseen by an independent monitor and subject its officers to
strict and explicit new rules on the use of force under an agreement with the
Justice Department that was announced Tuesday.
[...]
The settlement, set against the growing debate over policing
tactics in the United States, comes just days after a judge acquitted a white Cleveland police
officer in the fatal shooting of two unarmed African Americans in 2012. The
agreement is an outgrowth of a scathing report the Justice Department,
issued in December, accusing Cleveland police of illegally using deadly force
against citizens.

By Mark Hensch - 05/24/15 Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) praised Cleveland officials on Sunday for their response to protests after a police officer was found not guilty in the 2012 shooting of an unarmed black couple.
“What I will say is that I think the people of Cleveland handled this, I mean, they should be so proud of themselves and we should look at Cleveland as a model,” Kasich told host Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week.”
“But the credit goes to the leadership in Cleveland who have spoken in with one voice saying protest, but no violence is acceptable in Cleveland,” he said.
