La Cholla Boulevard : Magee Road
No full textabstract: The Pima County Department of Transportation in cooperation with the Town of Oro Valley and the Regional Transportation Authority proposes to widen approximately 5 miles of La Cholla Boulevard from a two-lane arterial roadway into a four-lane divided arterial roadway between Magee Road and Tangerine Road. During Phase 1 of the proposed project, PCDOT will lead the preliminary roadway design for the entire corridor and will design and construct the roadway improvements from
Magee Road to Lambert Lane. During Phase 2, the Town of Oro Valley will complete the design and construct the roadway improvements from Lambert Lane to Tangerine Road
The identity of the type of Tanacetum burchellii DC. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae), and the correct author citation for Pentzia punctata Harv. ex Hutch.
No full textAbstractThe identity of the type of Tanacetum burchellii DC. is re-assessed. The original material cited by Augustin P. de Candolle represents two different species. When compared to the protologue, it is clear that only one of the two specimens fits the description and is therefore here designated as lectotype. However, the selected lectotype is clearly conspecific with Foveolina albidiformis (Thell.) Källersjö and as a result the new combination Foveolina burchellii (DC.) Magee is proposed as the correct name for this taxon. The correct author citations, typifications and synonyms for both Foveolina burchellii and Pentzia punctata Harv. ex Hutch. are provided

Inefficient redistribution and inefficient redistributive politics
No full textThis paper examines the effect of inefficient redistribution in Myerson’s (1993) model of redistributive politics. Regardless of the absolute levels of the efficiency of political parties’ transfers to different voter segments, parties have incentive to (stochastically) shift resources away from voter segments with large relative efficiency gaps between the two parties’ transfers towards voter segments with smaller relative efficiency gaps. Because of this dependence on relative, and not absolute, levels of efficiency, the parties’ optimal strategies may lead to large discrepancies between the sum of the budgetary transfers and the sum of the effective transfers. At the extreme, in the spirit of Magee, Brock, and Young (1989), we obtain „black hole” inefficiency. When the model is extended to allow for loyal voter segments and loyalty to a party is positively related to the efficiency of that party’s transfers to the segment, the incentives leading to black hole inefficiency become even stronger. -- Diese Arbeit untersucht die Auswirkung von ineffizienter Umverteilungspolitk im Rahmen des Modells von Myerson (1993). Parteien versuchen, Wählersegmente für sich zu gewinnen, indem sie ihnen Transferzahlungen zusagen. Einzelne Wählersegmente unterscheiden sich in der Effizienz, mit der sich die Transferzahlungen einer bestimmten Partei in einen resultierenden Nutzengewinn für den Wähler übersetzen. Für die Parteien entsteht ein Anreiz, (stochastisch) Ressourcen hin zu Wählersegmenten zu verlagern, bei denen die Transfers von zwei verschiedenen Parteien einen relativ kleinen Unterschied in ihrem Effizienzniveau aufweisen, ungeachtet des absoluten Effizienzniveaus der Transferzahlung. Aufgrund dieser Abhängigkeit von relativen und nicht absoluten Effizienzniveaus können die Gleichgewichtsstrategien der Parteien zu großen Unterschieden zwischen der Summe der getätigten Transfers und der Summe der effektiv erhaltenen Transfers führen. Im Extremfall erhalten wir „black hole“-Ineffizienz wie in Magee, Brock und Young (1989). Eine Erweiterung des Modells um loyale Wählersegmente, bei der Loyalität zu einer Partei in positivem Bezug zur Effizienz der von dieser Partei erhaltenen Transfers steht, verstärkt die Anreize, die zu „black hole“-Ineffizienz führen.Redistributive politics,redistribution,inefficiency

The Clay statue. A model of a man. Designed by the goddess of liberty
No full textThe artist lionizes Kentucky senator Henry Clay, author of the Compromise of 1850, and slams his political foes and critics of the compromise, particularly those in the Taylor administration. A text in the lower margin reads: "A Fable--In the Reign of Zackery 1st the Goddess of Liberty Designed a Statue. a Model of a Man which she exhibited before the King, his Ministers, & the People. the Beauty of the Statue Elicited such shouts of Approbation from the People that the King's Ministers fired with Jealousy determined to Destroy it, but after many Ineffectual attempts were obliged to Desist amidst the Laughter of the Court & the People." The King is clearly President Taylor, who sits on a throne at the far left, in uniform and holding a sword instead of a scepter. A spittoon is on the floor before him, and a black court jester crouches beside the throne holding a copy of the newspaper the "Republic." A larger-than-life statue of Henry Clay, in armor and holding a shield inscribed "Compromise" and a sword, stands in the center of the scene. Clay's sword bears the words, "I fight for my Country! Traitors Beware." The statue towers over the figures that surround it, which include Taylor cabinet members Reverdy Johnson, George W. Crawford, and Thomas Ewing (on the right) and Secretary of State John M. Clayton (on the left). Crawford and Ewing regard the broken ax and saw which they hold in their hands. Crawford (to Johnson): "Look here Just see what a great Big Piece Ive Broke of my Gulpin Ax. I'll send in a Gulpin Claim for this. Valuable Ax this." The allusion is to Crawford's lucrative and questionable role as counsel for the Galphin family's successful suit against the federal government, an arrangement which provoked heated criticism in the press. The controversy over this Taylor administration scandal reached its peak in April, May and June of 1850. Johnson: "The Ax, was Broke before you used it, however, you Lie & I'll Swear to it, & we'll Pockett the Plunder between us." Ewing: "Why Ive Broke nearly all the teeth of my Chickensaw against this Infernall Statue. I'le send in a Big Claim for this." Clayton gestures entreatingly to Taylor: "Why the Devil dont your Imperial Majesty assist us, I can assure your Majesty, it's much Easier discharging a Bullitt, from a Republic, than it is injuring this Statue." Journalist Alexander C. Bullitt was a Taylor advisor and, beginning in 1849, editor of the administration organ the Washington "Republic." Bullitt appears here as the black court fool. Taylor hugs to his chest the tiny figure of New York senator William H. Seward, who sits on his lap. Seward was an insider in the short-lived Taylor administration, and a vigorous opponent of the Compromise of 1850. Taylor says, "Consider the weight of my Crown, Dear Clayton. besides my sick Baby, little Billey, requires, all my Care. moreove as the People like the Statue, I'de rather not Compromise myself, in the matter. assume the Responsibility Yourself, you'r used to it." Just to the right of the throne stand (left to right) senators Thomas Hart Benton, Daniel Webster, and Henry S. Foote. Benton: "Why its a Miserable Statue. a wretched abortion, the inscriptions on the Sword & Shield are in very Bad Taste, very Bad Taste indeed." Benton was an adamant critic of the Compromise. Foote (to Webster): "I think its a Splendid Statue. Which Party do you go for." Webster: "The Party thats likely to win. Of Course, I shall Keep one eye on the Statue, & the other on the Chair, & act according to circumstances." Senator Lewis Cass stands to the right of Foote, in the background, saying, "I rather like the Inscription on the Shield." Clay does, however, have some friends here. On the far right is a crowd of people led by the figure of Liberty, a young maiden in a classical gown holding a staff and liberty cap. She addresses Johnson and the others, "Gentlemen! I made this Statue as a Model of a Man. now though it is only of Clay & I wafted it here in a Breath, still with all your efforts, you can neither move it from its Base, or inflict the slightest Injury upon it. its innate strenght [sic] will defy all your Puny attempts." Liberty's followers enjoin, "Why I think it's a Beautifull Statue," and "So do I! Hurrah! for the Clay Statue." "The Clay Statue," though tentatively dated 1849 by Weitenkampf, must have appeared in 1850, certainly after Henry Clay's presentation of the compromise in January and probably as late as the spring, at the height of the Galphin controversy.Drawn by John L.
