Jamison Coppola, Government Relations Director for American Association of Christian Schools, and host Dr. Matt Davis unite in this informative episode of OnMission to probe a topic of obvious mutual concern—religious liberty, especially as it relates to Christian education and traditionally-held Christian principles. They explain the implausibility of legislators and staff predicting all ramifications of proposed bills, especially with unknown modifications in the amendment process, and why this necessitates vigilant advocates. Using the proposed school choice bill, they illustrate how advocates can assure explicit language in a bill to protect interests. They discuss public policy, fluctuations in administrations, the vanishing of “common ground,” and the unfettered rapid rise of animosity across the “ideological spectrum” that collides with age-old Christian values and labels them “radical.” They conclude with an encouraging look at the “massive shift” toward homeschooling and growing options for private education.

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Brian Shoaf, Director, Government Relations Director, Detroit Regional Chamber, Detroit, MI Discussing the federal proposal to terminate agreement between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico: There were several questions raised regarding Delta Air Lines & Aeromexico agreement at risk: Brian Shoaf, Government Relations Director with the Detroit Regional Chamber is here to talk today about a federal proposal involving Delta Airlines and Aeromexico that would impact the Michigan business community and consumers. The federal department action would disrupt seamless leisure and business travel between the U.S. and Mexico and would harm Michigan's economy. Welcome Brian. Tell us about the federal proposal to terminate a partnership between the two airlines and why the Detroit Chamber thinks the decision should be reconsidered? Brian: A federal proposal to terminate a vital partnership between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico would put local flights and jobs in jeopardy. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) proposed the termination of the Joint Cooperation Agreement (JCA) between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico in January 2024 without any prior notice due to unrelated change's to Mexico's aviation policy. The administration's decision is drastic, punitive, counterproductive and unprecedented. A final decision is expected this fall. This proposed action is troubling for Metro Detroit businesses and will also concern consumers once they become aware of it. 45 million-plus travelers have benefitted from this strategic partnership. Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico have operated 264,000-plus flights and flown 386 million miles, equalizing 15,500 trips around the world. Brian, Tell us more about this agreement? Brian: Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico's successful strategic partnership was approved by the DOT in 2016. This partnership has created and supported thousands of jobs in both countries, US and Mexico, and has led to a substantial increase in service and consumer choice between the U.S. and Mexico. What is the impact of this proposal on the Delta and Aeromexico partnership Brian? Brian: The termination of this partnership would put up to 23 flight routes between the US and Mexico at risk of cancelation, including 5 that go in and out of Detroit Metro Airport. In 2023, these 5 routes served more than 440,000 passengers. The cancelation of these important flight routes would decrease market competition. Many Michigan businesses benefit from this strategic partnership, including the Detroit Three automakers? Brian: Yes. These flights are now essential components of their businesses and allow product purchasers and plant managers to travel between the two essential hubs in less than five hours. Eliminating these direct flights will lead to less efficient travel, resulting in lost production time and quality of our products. This partnership provides direct flights to the Detroit three automakers' manufacturing plants in Mexico. These direct routes have become essential components of the assembly line, allowing product purchasers and plant managers to freely travel between the two hubs in less than 5 hours. How does this partnership between the two airlines impact tourism? Brian: Estimates show that around half a million Mexican tourists visited Michigan in 2023, beach towns and small businesses depend on strong summer tourism months. The loss of direct flights between DTW and Mexico will serve as a significant barrier for prospective Michigan tourists costing Michigan $1,500 per visitor. What is the bottom line here Brian? Brian: When this decision comes to fruition, no other airline will be able to fill the void that Delta's hub capacity at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) currently occupies. The DOT should consider the economic impacts that will result from fewer flights out of DTW and let the partnership stand.

It's estimated that 50% of the workforce helping our Wisconsin dairy industry move are made up of illegal, undocumented immigrants. The Wisconsin Farmers Union wants to host an open dialog about what that means to Wisconsin agriculture, and what that means in policy development. Nick Levendofsky is the Government Relations Director with WFU. He speaks with Pam Jahnke about an upcoming webinar that will focus on a documentary that looks closely at this issue in Wisconsin. The documentary, “Los Lecheros” focuses on some of the workers and farmers struggling to survive amidst shifting policies. Many Wisconsin farm owners, like film protagonist John Rosenow, insist that immigrants are critical to the success of their farms. Workers, like Miguel Hernandez, who spent 16 years on a Wisconsin dairy farm, and Guillermo Ramos, who manages a 1,000-cow farm, are weighing the options for their families and their jobs amidst fears of deportation and family separation. The webinar will feature a panel, moderated by Dee Hall of Wisconsin Watch. Panelists will include John Rosenow, Buffalo County dairy farmer; Nick Levendofsky, Wisconsin Farmers Union government relations director; and Ruth Conniff, journalist and author of Milked. The panelists will discuss policies and new developments around work visas, as well as the powerful personal relationships farmers in Wisconsin are building with families in Mexico.

Is the CFPB constitutional? Is its prepaid rule constitutional? These are questions in front of the courts right now. Two lawsuits have called into question both the structure of the CFPB and the validity of its prepaid accounts rule. The outcome of these two cases could determine who is subject to the prepaid rule and even whether the Bureau should exist in its current form. On the state level, a lawsuit over payroll card rules is making its way through the New York State courts. It could determine whether or not the Department of Labor can regulate financial products. In this episode, the Innovative Payments Association’s CEO, Brian Tate, and Government Relations Director, Grant Hannah, talk about these lawsuits and what their effects might be. We also talk about the long term effects of these lawsuits in the context of the possible outcomes of the 2020 elections. The IPA will keep its members updated on developments in these suits through its regular government relations calls. If you want to stay on top of new developments in the industry, plan to attend the Innovative Payments Conference in Washington DC, April 6-8.

More than 40 years ago, Dr. James Zogby wrote a short book on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and published it a couple of years later. The book was unique in that it laid out the Palestinian narrative of the conflict and its history at a time when this narrative was all but absent from the conversation on Israel-Palestine in the US. Forty years later, Zogby talks about what has changed and what has not, and explains his somewhat surprising decision to take an old short book, dust it off, write a new introduction, and republish it as is. APN's Policy and Government Relations Director, together with PeaceCast's host Ori Nir, spoke with Zogby on July 6th, 2018 about a host of issues related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Please don't hesitate to continue sending us feedback and ideas. Best is to email Ori at onir@peacenow.org
