FEMA Seeks Public Comment on National Flood Insurance Program
FEMA is always striving to improve our programs and as part of that effort, we are currently gathering feedback from National Flood Insurance Program stakeholders to gain input on the challenges related to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and possible solutions to those challenges.
The NFIP is a Federal program that was created by Congress in 1968. The program was designed to ensure that communities across the country have access to affordable flood insurance as well as encourage community floodplain management to reduce future flood damage.
FEMA kicked off a 30 day comment period with the launch of a two day listening session that began on November 5, 2009. The purpose of these listening sessions and the public comment period is to allow stakeholders the opportunity to provide valuable input on various issues and programs related to the NFIP, such as flood map modernization updates, reducing repetitive loss properties, and other program topics.
For more information and to provide feedback related to NFIP, please visit http://www.fema.gov/business/nfip/nfip_listening_session.shtm.

GREELEY 8 SCHOOLS

Northern Colorado College Democrats

Because of the failure of the Mill Levy in Greeley, there are some budget cuts under consideration. One of the proposed solutions is to cut the magnet arts from two schools in Greeley. It is also possible that teachers will lose their jobs as a result of these cuts.

There will be an Arts Advocacy Meeting on Thursday, November 12th at 6pm (this Thursday) at the Union Colony Civic Center lobby.

The UNC College Democrats is commited to supporting local schools and educators. Let's join forces with the major groups that support the Arts and help plan what will happen next.

Can anyone in the group meet on Thursday at UCCC to help define how we, as Arts Advocates and as democrats, are going to respond and support the teachers and students in this district ?

Let me know if you can ! I'll also be creating an event, so just RSVP (IF you can be there).

Thanks,

Will West

Liberal groups provide air cover to Democrats
Posted: November 9th, 2009 02:35 PM ET

From CNN Political Editor Mark Preston

 

WASHINGTON (CNN) – A coalition of unions, liberal interest groups and other organizations is providing air cover for 20 House Democrats who voted this past weekend in favor of the Democratic leadership's health care reform bill.


Pelosi Got It Done
First Read: "Speaker Pelosi deserves her due on Saturday's vote. She had said she'd get this out of the House as soon as she had the votes. By going when she did, with another Dem in her pocket (the new seat in NY-23) and keeping the House in session over the weekend, she got it done. And she even quelled a potential uprising among the most pro-choice members of her caucus. It was an impressive performance; she had her share of backseat drivers in all parts of official Washington, and she pulled it off. By the way, the NEXT health care vote in the House should be easier to get, given that what comes out of conference (the "opt out" or the trigger) will likely be a tad easier for moderates to support. That said, the abortion issue could still end up a problem at some point in this process. But the way she navigated the bill over the weekend should re-shape the C.W. on her a tad."
