INTERVIEW: Clint Olivier/Clovis Unified School District discusses Assembly Bill 1390, introduced in 2025 by Assemblymember Mike Fong and coauthors, proposes a major overhaul of school board compensation in California. The bill would raise the monthly pay cap for school board members from the current range of $60 to $1,500 to a new range of $300 to $7,500 (or $90,000 per year), depending on the district’s average daily attendance. Supporters argue the increase would attract more diverse and qualified candidates, especially in large districts like Los Angeles and Fresno. Critics argue it's not necessary.

Today on AgNet News Hour: Pork Policy, Labor Pressure, Solar Land Fights, and Father's Day in the Fields As we roll into Father's Day weekend, the AgNet News Hour brings you a Friday episode full of critical updates, meaningful insights, and a few laughs along the way. Hosted by Nick “The Ag Meter” Papagni and Josh McGill, today's show is a must-listen for growers, ranchers, and anyone working to keep American agriculture thriving. The headline segment centers around U.S. Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins' testimony to the House Agriculture Committee. Her message is clear: the USDA is putting farmers first. She covers a lot of ground, from slashing red tape and expanding global trade to confronting Prop 12, managing labor issues, and sounding the alarm on misguided solar expansion onto prime ag land. Rollins doesn't mince words when it comes to the impact of California's Prop 12 pork regulations, which she says have created unfair burdens for producers nationwide. She also addresses the urgent need for sensible immigration and farm labor policy — especially in light of recent ICE enforcement actions in ag communities. If you're concerned about labor availability or the future of farm employment in California, you'll want to hear what was said. Another hot-button issue is the ongoing push to install solar panels on fertile farmland. Assembly Bill 1156 is in the crosshairs. Nick and Josh don't hold back on what they see as an attack on California agriculture — one that undermines food production in favor of energy policy. It's a passionate segment that speaks directly to the heart of the ag community. Plus, veteran PCA Todd Burkdoll joins the show to talk crop protection, fungicide strategies for almonds, and how growers can manage this season's volatile weather patterns. This Father's Day weekend, while you're firing up the grill or heading out for some time with family, make time for today's AgNet News Hour. It's informative, entertaining, and speaks directly to the issues that matter most to our agricultural families.

Assembly Bill 144 in the Nevada legislature would formally recognize Indigenous People's Day, but it's received some pushback—why?

Hundreds of bills have been introduced in the Wisconsin Legislature so far this session, from Assembly Bill1 to Assembly Bill 273. In the other chambers, you can go all the way up to Senate Bill 280. But one bill is missing: Senate Bill 1. Republicans reserved it for their version of a state budget and tax plan, but it's still missing in action nearly five months into the session. We'll talk to Robert Kraig and Heather DuBois Bourenane about a coalition that wants the budget-in-hiding to meet certain standards or Gov. Evers should veto it and make lawmakers start over.

Bill would protect immigrant children from President-elect Donald Trump's stated plan for mass deportationsTorrance, CA – Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance), Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, introduced Assembly Bill 49, a bill that would protect immigrant children from actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers who enter school sites or child care facilities. The bill would prohibit school or child care employees from allowing ICE officers to enter a school site or child care facility for any purpose without providing valid identification, a written statement of purpose, a valid judicial warrant, and approval from the school district's superintendent or director of the child care center. The bill also would require that if an ICE official meets the requirements to enter a school site or child care facility, their access would be restricted to school or child care facilities where students or children are not present."All children have a constitutional right to attend public schools, regardless of immigration status," stated Assemblymember Muratsuchi. "Unfortunately, the threat of federal immigration officials coming onto school grounds to detain undocumented students or family members casts a shadow of fear over all California students. Students cannot learn if they are living in fear of being deported or separated from their family members. This bill is necessary because children should not be afraid to come to school, and parents should not be afraid to send their children to school."As during his first term, there is an increased fear of raids by ICE officials at schools and child care centers as President-elect Donald Trump is threatening to deport millions of undocumented immigrants across the United States. President-elect Trump has also threatened to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. According to the California State Superintendent of Public Instruction's office, this closure would risk around $8 billion in federal funds for California programs serving students with disabilities and low-income students.Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi represents California's 66th Assembly District, which includes El Segundo, Gardena, Hermosa Beach, Lomita, Los Angeles, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, San Pedro and Torrance. Muratsuchi is Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on Aerospace, and a member of the Committees on Budget, Budget Subcommittee on Education, Higher Education, Natural Resources, and the Joint Legislative Committee on Climate Change Policies.

California's Assembly Public Safety Committee recently removed provisions from Assembly Bill 379 that would have made it a felony to purchase 16- and 17-year-olds for sex. This decision has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it weakens protections for older teens and allows sex buyers to evade harsher penalties. Governor Gavin Newsom has voiced support for reinstating the felony charges, emphasizing the need for stronger measures to combat sex trafficking.

In this episode of Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dive into California's Assembly Bill 54, a law designed to secure abortion pill supply lines while shielding providers from out-of-state legal challenges. With sharp commentary, they critique Assemblymember Maggie Krell's push for “access” above all else, question the safety of medication abortion, and spotlight the state's neglect of prenatal care for low-income women. The episode ends with a lively chat about Javier Becerra's bid for governor and what it means for Kamala Harris's next move.

The Ag Net News Hour's Lorre Boyer and Nick Papagni, “The AgMeter” started out the show by discussing California's Assembly Bill 1264, which aims to ban ultra-processed foods from school meals by 2032. These foods are linked to 32 health conditions, including obesity and ADHD. The bill faces challenges in making healthy foods appealing to children and affordable for schools. Suggestions included using fresh, local produce and innovative packaging to make healthier options more appealing. The conversation also touched on the broader issue of food waste and the importance of addressing obesity, which is influenced by both diet and sedentary activities like video games. In the second segment, hosts, Lorrie Boyer and Nick Papagni discussed the severe impact of record honey bee deaths on agriculture, with U.S. beekeepers reporting over 60% colony losses, costing $139 million and raising honey prices. Pesticides, particularly neonicotinoids, are suspected, with multi-generational harm noted. The California almond industry, worth $11 billion, faces severe pollination shortages. Despite concerns, some argue that more bee companies indicate a future surplus. The University of California is studying long-term effects on pollinator populations. The hosts emphasized the importance of due diligence and ongoing research to address the issue. Lastly, Nick brought up the impact of recent storms on California's water allocation, with the Department of Water Resources increasing water to state projects to 40%. Nick criticized the 40% allocation, noting that much water goes to the ocean, while farmers struggle. They also discussed the challenges of using ocean water for firefighting due to salinization. Additionally, Nick ad Lorrie addressed a controversial wind energy project in Shasta County, which could generate 205 megawatts but faces opposition due to environmental and safety concerns. The project would benefit 80,000 homes, but local opposition has spent significant funds fighting it. Lorrie cited some issues with wind farms and wind turbines based upon her prior coverage in other areas of the country.

Las Vegas was a struggling mining outpost until March 19th, 1931, when Nevada Governor Fred B. Balzar signed Assembly Bill 98, also known as the Wide Open Gambling Bill: legalising casino gambling, and setting the stage for town's transformation into Sin City.  When the Boulder Dam project began, drawing thousands of workers nearby, Fremont Street exploded into a Saturday night hotspot. And when mobster Bugsy Siegel opened the Flamingo in 1946, glitzy Hollywood-style resorts followed in his wake, with celebrities like Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack drawing in high-rollers and cementing the city's glamour. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the Vegas boom was enabled by the election of tough-on-crime L.A. mayor Fletcher Bowron; discover why the City was known as the "Mississippi of the West”; and reveal how a 50-room hotel was once considered a cutting edge attraction in the Strip… Further Reading: • 'How Las Vegas Became a Gambling Mecca' (HISTORY, 2022): https://www.history.com/news/las-vegas-history-mobsters-gambling • 'Nevada marks 90th anniversary of legal gambling' (The Mob Museum, 2021): https://themobmuseum.org/blog/nevada-marks-90th-anniversary-of-legal-gambling/ • The City of Las Vegas: The Early Years (City of Las Vegas TV, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czyMm5DdqAY #30s #US #Crime #Games #Racism Love the show?

Kerry Lutz welcomed attorney Parag Amin to discuss the legal implications of failing to pay minimum wage in California, emphasizing the severe financial repercussions for employers, including back pay, interest, and attorney fees, which can accumulate rapidly with multiple employees. Parag highlighted the role of the Private Attorney General Act, which enables private attorneys to sue on behalf of the state, leading to significant penalties for non-compliant employers and financial recovery for affected employees. He noted California's economic strengths but acknowledged that its regulatory policies have prompted a business exodus, contrasting its growth with that of states like Texas and Florida, which offer more favorable conditions. Lutz raised concerns about wage compliance risks, to which Parag responded that paying above minimum wage does not exempt employers from liability for unpaid hours. He also discussed the challenges posed by Assembly Bill 5 regarding worker classification, warning that misclassification can lead to serious financial consequences, including ongoing liabilities even after bankruptcy.  Find Parag here: www.lawpla.com Find Kerry here: https://financialsurvivalnetwork.com and here: https://inflation.cafe

California's fast food industry shed more than 6,000 jobs after Democratic lawmakers passed a bill mandating a $20 minimum wage for most fast food and counter service restaurants in the state, according to a new analysis of labor data. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that between September 2023, when California governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1228, and June 2024, Golden State fast food employment dropped from 570,909 jobs to 564,743. That's a loss of 6,166 jobs, or 1.1 percent, according to an analysis by the nonprofit Employment Policies Institute. During that same period a year earlier, California fast food restaurants added 17,528 jobs, a 3.1 percent increase over those ten months in 2022 and 2023, the data show.

In September 2016, California Democrats signed Assembly Bill 1921 into law, more commonly known as "ballot harvesting." It's a bad law that one party put into place to boost their own numbers, but a few years back, churches began utilizing this same law to help increase the evangelical vote, and now certain areas of the state aren't too happy about it.

Spencer Lucas learned three important lessons from legendary personal injury lawyer Brian Panish: preparation, aggressiveness, and authenticity. A partner at the firm Brian co-founded, Panish Shea Ravipudi LLP, Spencer put those lessons to work, with Brian, to secure $135 million for two survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Listen in as Spencer breaks down the case against the Moreno Valley Unified School District for host Dan Ambrose. In addition to describing hurdles that the team overcame, Spencer discusses spearheading the firm's efforts to find justice for sexual abuse survivors in the wake of California's Assembly Bill 218, which gives survivors the right to file claims that were otherwise time-barred. As Spencer explains, it's less about the monetary results and more about shining a light on institutions that covered up abuse. “It's been incredibly satisfying for me as a lawyer to be a part of this awareness,” he says.At TLU Vegas, Spencer will lead a workshop about navigating sexual abuse cases, sharing insight on strategic considerations for discovery, depositions, witnesses, and more.Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Spencer Lucas | LinkedIn | Email☑️ Panish Shea Ravipudi LLP | LinkedIn | Instagram | X | Facebook☑️ TLU VEGAS☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeEpisode SnapshotSpencer's hometown: Port Orchard, Washington.

If Newsom signed the bill, illegal aliens would be eligible for a new program that offers a loan worth 20% of the purchase price of the residential property. There are no monthly payments and no interest accrues on the loan. Rather, the loan is paid back when the borrower refinances or sells the property. The borrower will have to pay back the original loan plus a 20% increase in the value of the property. After the California Senate advanced the bill allowing illegal aliens to apply for the state's first-time homebuyer's program, the California Department of Finance confirmed the program has no money to give. Governor Newsom vetoed the bill because of a lack of funds. “I am returning Assembly Bill 1840 without my signature,” Newsom wrote in his veto message to the members of the California State Assembly.   “Given the finite funding available for CalHFA programs, expanding program eligibility must be carefully considered within the broader context of the annual state budget to ensure we manage our resources effectively,” he said. “For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill,” Newsom wrote.

California may become the first state in the U.S. to offer taxpayer-funded loans of up to $150,000 to undocumented immigrants under Assembly Bill 1840, expanding the "California Dream for All" program to aid with home purchase down payments, amid criticisms of lax immigration law enforcement and the Biden-Harris administration's border crisis.  

Home prices too high? Not sure if you'll ever get to buy a home? Well, stop trying to do things the right way. Just be a criminal. In fact, not only will the government make getting a home easier, they'll even take taxpayer money and give it to you to help pay for it. Cheekiness aside, I'm talking about Assembly Bill 1840 in California. The bill just passed the Senate and awaits approval in the house, which is likely to happen given that California's state legislature is Democrat controlled. Governor Gavin Newsom hasn't indicated whether he will sign the bill, but I think we all know that chances of him approving it are higher than him vetoing it. If you think California couldn't get any nuttier, then buckle up buttercup. This bill would take that California Dream for All program and expand it. What is this? Well, it was launched last year and is devised as a down payment assistance program for first-time homebuyers. It can be used in conjunction with the Dream For All Conventional first mortgage for down payment and/or closing costs. The homebuyer doesn't have to repay the original down payment until the house is sold or transferred. At that point, they will have to repay the original amount plus a share of the appreciation in the value of the home. So what's so wrong with this bill? This isn't for you and me - it's for illegal immigrants who want to buy a home in California. It would take that statewide program for down payment assistance and expand it to include illegal immigrants - to help provide them with a down payment. Democrats are tooting the bill's horn as promoting equality by helping provide opportunities to illegal immigrants that Americans have. Don't you like how “equality” always comes with a price tag for American citizens?

How a new deal between lawmakers and Google impacts journalism in California. The controversial city plan from California Forever is off this year's election ballot. Finally, the Chalk It Up! Festival returns to Fremont Park over Labor Day weekend. California, Google, and Funding Journalism California lawmakers and tech giant Google have reached a deal to provide almost $250 million over five years to support journalism in California, as well as an artificial intelligence accelerator. However, the deal replaced Assembly Bill 886 - which sought to use tech revenues to fund newsrooms every year across the state, but drew significant opposition from companies like Google and Meta. Executive Director Alma Martinez and Executive Editor Joe Kieta from the nonprofit Central Valley Journalism Collaborative join Insight to discuss how the deal compares to AB 886, how to ensure the funds are being distributed equitably, and the importance of having a well-funded newsroom. CapRadio is a partner of the Central Valley Journalism Collaborative. Postmortem of ‘California Forever' A controversial plan to build a new city in Solano County is on hold until 2026, after the company behind the initiative - California Forever - pulled it off the November ballot last month. The billionaire-backed East Solano Plan promised affordable housing and jobs for hundreds of thousands of residents, but attracted questions and criticism around its feasibility. KQED Housing Reporter Adhiti Bandlamudi discusses how this proposal came to be, how the effort to get it to voters fell apart, and what comes next. Chalk It Up! The family-friendly Chalk It Up! festival is returning for its 34th year. The free art and music festival takes place every Labor Day weekend in Midtown Sacramento's Fremont Park. Rocki Solis Nelson is the organization's board director, and she joins Insight to talk about how the festival started and why money raised is used to fund mini-grants for Sacramento arts programs.

You've probably heard of the term “lipstick on a pig.” In house-flipping parlance, it means doing basic cosmetic upgrades that camouflage the underlying issues beneath the paint and Sheetrock.  California house flippers will have to put their makeup away and bring out the heavy machinery because a new law—Assembly Bill 968 (AB-968), effective July 1—mandates a comprehensive disclosure of repairs and renovations from sellers who flip one-to-four-unit properties within 18 months of buying them. The intent is to protect buyers from undisclosed and unseen property conditions.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Assemblywoman Lori D. Wilson introduces Bill Assembly Bill 2229 (AB 2229), aimed at enhancing comprehensive sexual health education in California schools. This bill seeks to address a crucial gap in current education by including menstrual health as an integral part of sexual health curriculum. The idea for AB 2229 emerged from our "There Oughta Be a Law" contest, highlighting the importance of community engagement in shaping legislative initiatives.Assemblywoman Lori D. Wilson emphasized the importance of AB 2229, stating, "It's crucial that we provide our students with accurate and comprehensive sexual health education that includes menstrual health. By addressing this gap in our curriculum, we can empower young people to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Additionally, educating students about menstruation can help break down stigmas and taboos, promoting healthier attitudes and outcomes.""My period should never have been shrouded in mystery, nor should I have suffered in silence due to misinformation and shame,” said Sriya Srinivasan, sponsor and Solano Community College student trustee. “Passing AB 2229, we have the opportunity to provide relief and empowerment to thousands of students"The California Healthy Youth Act (AB 329) has been pivotal in ensuring middle and high school students receive comprehensive sexual health education since its enactment in 2016. However, despite its comprehensive nature, the existing curriculum fails to explicitly address menstrual health. This gap in the curriculum means that many students in California are missing critical information about menstrual health, which is essential for reducing stigma and increasing awareness within the community.Assembly Bill 2229 seeks to rectify this by adding the definition of "Menstrual Health" to the curriculum, ensuring students receive information about the menstrual cycle, premenstrual syndrome and pain management, menstrual disorders, menstrual irregularities, menopause, menstrual stigma, and other relevant topics. This aligns with federal policy and underscores the need for comprehensive menstrual health education to be integrated into the existing sexual health curriculum.

As the debate over parental rights forges on, California Gov. Gavin Newsom will soon have to decide whether to sign a new bill with sweeping ramifications."California schools would be banned from telling parents about their children's gender transition under a bill headed to the desk of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom," The Washington Times Valerie Richardson writes. "Assembly Bill 1955 would prohibit school staffers and volunteers from informing parents about their child's 'sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression' without the student's consent, seeking to thwart parental notification policies passed by local school boards."This Democratic-led legislation comes as at least 10 school districts in the state began mandating that schools tell parents if and when children decide they want to socially transition.Richardson joins Billy Hallowell to break down the story — and why it matters.FOLLOW BILLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA:- Follow Billy on Twitter- Follow Billy on Instagram- Follow Billy on Facebook

  In our first sotry today, California ADU laws have been softening for several years in an effort to increase housing space and availability. ADUs are often used as rentals, which can help alleviate some of the pressure on rental supply. However, what it doesn't do, is increase general housing supply, as ADUs are considered a part of the primary residence, where only one person can own it. However, Assembly Bill 1033 was passed in California last October that changes everything, and presents investors a huge opportunity.   Our 2nd story highlights that rents were on the rise during the peak pandemic years, only to come back to normal growth trajectories over these last couple of years, with a few pockets of decreases and increases depending on the market. Spoiler alert: The same is going to continue, but at least we are confident enough to say it's guaranteed. At least according to Barry Sternlicht, CEO of Starwood Capital, who said that with widening supply gaps and a lack of construction, we're guaranteed to see rents continue to grow for the next two years Learn more about your ad choices.

New York is trying to pass the Assembly Bill 3907 (A 3907), which proposes to ban the sale of premium cigars in the state. VIA The Cigar Rights Of America: "As it stands, A 3907 is drafted too broadly, unfairly categorizing premium cigars as flavored tobacco products despite their lack of artificial flavorings or enhancements. To protect freedom of choice and prevent harm to small businesses, A 3907 must be appropriately amended to define the properties of premium cigars and exempt them from the bill. If A 3907 isn't amended, the banning of premium cigars that will be the result of the bill will undermine consumer rights and devastate the livelihoods of local premium cigar retailers in New York, whose businesses rely on these products."   Become a BDP Member! www.burndownpodcast.com

Try Turkesterone with Tongkat Ali (Feminization Killer): (Buy Two Get One Free 48HR Promo) https://blackforestsupplements.com/reasonable Reform California Chairman Carl DeMaio is blasting an assembly bill that Democrats in the California State Legislature are proposing that will direct the University of California system to begin hiring illegal immigrants for taxpayer-funded state jobs. "I have seen a lot of outrageous proposals from California Democrat politicians, bending over backwards to make it easier for illegal immigrants to get in and to get taxpayer benefits. But this one absolutely tops the list of insane ideas," DeMaio told Fox News Digital. If passed, Assembly Bill 2586 would provide state government jobs at taxpayers' expense for illegal immigrants. DeMaio said specifically, it mandates that illegal immigrants with no U.S. work authorization should be given access to apply for and take jobs provided through taxpayer-funded universities run by the state government. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – California legislature pushes Assembly Bill 1955, known as the SAFTEY Act, to keep parents uninformed about their children's gender transitions. This controversial bill faces strong opposition from parents like Aurora Regino and medical experts such as Dr. Arthur de Lorimier. Critics argue that this policy drives a wedge between parents and children and increases risks for gender dysphoric youth.

Today Is Memorial Day. Honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.  Somber reminder of the sacrifices of all that served to protect us. Never forget. This segment of Inch High Private Eye promises to be a doozy when I relay what happens when you find out your own mama is using your teenage pics, some revealing, to catfish dudes on the Interwebs?!?  I can't make this stuff up.  Real life is more dramatic than anything I could make up and Inch High was shopping from a grill at Elder's Ace Hardware. Surface...The writers seemed to half way show up for episode 9 of #STDiscovery. The tech and applied science was out of this world! Literally.  It just seems that there are more stories to tell from #discovery because this is the prequel that got pushed forward to the future. I think the progenitors technology was co-opted by the Iconians which they could use for more adventures past, present, and future. VPR is on fumes.  Did Diddy Do It? Yep. but as of January 1, 2023, a new California law known as Assembly Bill 2777 (AB 2777) or the Sexual Abuse And Cover-Up Accountability Act may just give Cassie more justice or another settlement. Leslie Jones is still recapping All Stars which is good because I think this season of all stars as they compete to get the largest amount of money donated to their charities and #GottMik is slaying!! I have 1- vote. Entertainers do not speak for me. I base my opinions on actual facts gleaned from books,  newspapers and not what is trending or going viral on social media. Withholding endorsements punishes society causes politicians to pander and kiss morning show asses instead of actually doing work to better society. If politicians would focus on being about the work like student loan forgiveness, keeping government out of our uterus, border issues, pandemic responsiveness, environmental issues. instead of giving lip service, sound bites, and catch phrases. We have people like Amber Rose using their platform for attention and infamy in support of another former reality star who is loyal only to power and money. The other guy cares nothing about society, democracy, or anything passed his bank balance. Also, she using Trump so she can support her own transphobia and although he is a dangerous despot, he still is trending on social media and she wants to ride the wave.   And I've also decided that I'm gonna do four-week increments and I'm taking June off. Well mostly, I may have something new and fresh for Juneteenth. Subscribe monthly on Anchor.fm  Patreon ,  Podbean, or  Deezer!

Key Takeaways: Building a Resilient Port Strategy  The first step in developing a resilient port strategy is understanding the locations of the domestic supply chain along with the location of customers. The ability to use multiple ports of entry is key for shippers because there are unexpected disruptions at ports because Panama Canal issues, labor problems, and shifting regulations at the ports. Shippers must also consider potential labor union issues with both the West Coast and East Coast longshoremen unions. The California Ports are more challenging to service because of AB5 and CARB AB5 refers to Assembly Bill 5, a California law that went into effect on January 1, 2020. It is also known as the “Gig Worker Law” or the “Independent Contractor Law.” AB5 aims to classify more workers as employees rather than independent contractors, CARB emissions refer to emissions of pollutants regulated by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). To build a resilient port strategy, shippers must consider the impact of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act (OSRA) of 2022, which includes the following provisions: Unreasonable Refusal to Deal – A provision that requires that an ocean common carrier shall not unreasonably refuse to deal or negotiate with respect to vessel space accommodation. Demurrage and Detention Billing Requirements – A new rule that seeks to provide more clarity, consistency, structure and punctuality to the demurrage and detention billing practices used by vessel operating common carriers (VOCCs), non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs) and marine terminal operators (MTOs). Unfair or Unjust Discriminatory Methods – The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) will define what is unfair or unjust discriminatory methods used by carriers regarding concerns and complaints by exporters and small shippers. Lastly, to build a resilient port strategy, shippers should get the select the right partner – companies that have a comprehensive knowledge of the ports – companies like Port X Logistics and Squall Strategies. Port X Logistics provides drayage to and from all ports and ramps in the USA and Canada.

With Iowa behind them, candidates are now focused on persuading New Hampshire voters ahead of the primary. The Nikki Haley campaign vowed to be even stronger in this second voting contest for the GOP nomination.
