Accountability in State Legislatures (Chicago Studies in American Politics)

A troubling portrait of democracy in US state legislatures. State legislatures hold tremendous authority over key facets of our lives, ranging from healthcare to marriage to immigration policy. In theory, elections create incentives for state legislators to produce good policies. But do they? Drawing on wide-ranging quantitative and qualitative evidence, Steven Rogers offers the most comprehensive assessment of this question to date, testing different potential mechanisms of accountability. His findings are sobering: almost ninety percent of American voters do not know who their state legislator is; over one-third of incumbent legislators run unchallenged in both primary and general elections; and election outcomes have little relationship with legislators' own behavior. Rogers's analysis of state legislatures highlights the costs of our highly nationalized politics, challenging theories of democratic accountability and providing a troubling picture of democracy in the states.

written by a political leader, for political leaders This book is for local government political leaders. You will either learn from its contents, or it contents will scare you to the point that you will throw it in the trash. A must read for political leaders who are under intense pressure and have nowhere to go, or no one to seek guidance from. I am convinced that many elected officials who governed before us knew something about the importance of prayer and biblical wisdom that many elected officials today do not know about or refuse to accept. It would serve all of us well to reflect on the words, wisdom, and, most importantly, the advice, of our founding fathers and the great leaders of Old and early New Testament days, when we are Governing The Affairs Of The People. This book does not advocate supporting a specific political platform, philosophy, position, or party affiliation. It's not about politics as usual. You will read about a few relevant topics not many people in politics talk about and avoid at all costs. Yet, these topics continue to have a profound impact on how individual elected officials like you and me govern the affairs of the people. You will find on its pages words of wisdom and sound advice about how you can prevent yourself from traveling down a very painful and costly road as you pursue your political goals and aspirations.

Can a journey across the Holy Land redeem a reluctant pilgrim? Ben Cahill's life is an alcohol-saturated mess. After an insincere effort in a rehab facility, he is alienated from his family, out of work, and determined to continue his habit. To make matters worse, he finds himself on a tour of Israel, along with, as he calls them, a bunch of Holy Rollers. As the trip progresses, Ben experiences the Holy Land's major historical sites and is exposed to God's word. He interacts with his fellow travelers, gradually learning about their faith and their lives. Along the way, Ben becomes embroiled in a spiritual war, reinforcing his guilt and, in turn, forcing him to recall his past actions and behaviors. He also begins a different journey, one that leads him to redemption and a place in God's family.
