TH DISTRICT RACE Rayburn has experience to develop defense sector The upcoming primary election is vital to the well-being of small businesses here in El Paso County. While my company has contracts that have delivered some dollars and jobs to Colorado, I've had to watch as millions of dollars in similar contracts flowed to the economies of Alabama and Ohio. There is no reason this work should not be done here, given the talented work force and robust facilities we have.

There are more than 3,300 public housing authorities throughout the United States providing affordable housing to eligible low-income families, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. This housing is principally provided through the administration of federally funded housing programs. The funding for these programs is inadequate to meet the growing need for affordable housing, requiring public housing authorities to find innovative ways to do more with less. A few public-sector organizations have turned to private-sector quality management practices in response to similar challenges. Lean thinking and Six Sigma are two popular quality initiatives found in the private sector. This paper explores whether lean thinking and Six Sigma can be successfully applied to public housing aut...

Gasoline prices across the US rose above $4 per gallon in August 2008, but by November 2008, the price of gasoline in many states had fallen to $2 per gallon. The price of gasoline is tied to the price of its primary source, crude oil, and the price of crude oil is fluctuating rapidly. Although consumers may welcome the current decline in oil and gasoline prices, uncertainty in the petroleum market discourages energy investments in the transportation sector, the electrical grid, and even in the renewable energy industry. This article explains how the federal government should restructure the tax on gasoline to be a variable tax with a price floor and how such a tax would function as part of the solution to the looming climate and energy crises. Establishing a variable tax and price floo...

Large-scale social change comes from cross-sector coordination rather than from isolated individual organizations. Substantially greater progress can be made in alleviating many of our most serious and complex social problems if nonprofits, governments, businesses and the public work together on a common agenda. This doesn't happen often, not because it is impossible, but because we rarely attempt it. Funders and nonprofits alike overlook the potential for collective impact because they are used to focusing on independent action as the primary vehicle for social change.

Walter Oden II took the helm of the Long Island office of the U.S. Small Business Administration, located in Hauppauge and covering all of Nassau and Suffolk counties and pockets of the five boroughs, late last year. He came to the federal gig armed with an arsenal of business development skills from his previous position in affiliate sales at Viacom, where he hammered out contracts between the company and cable TV stations. The Miami native, who now lives on the North Shore, spoke to us about his transition to the public sector and his vision for the SBA. Going from working in cable TV to working for the federal government is quite a leap, isn't it? My career started out of grad school in the pharmaceutical industry doing sales, with new products and new product development. My backgro...
