		<description><![CDATA[Where is California Labor? Is anyone home?

At the same time that workers are under attack nationally, the California Democratic governor and the Democratic controlled legislature have passed a budget with massive cutbacks in education and social services. Marty Hittleman, the past president of the California Federation of Teachers, has said that, as a direct result of these fee increases at California Community Colleges, 200,000 working class and poor students will be pushed out of the schools.

In order to address this attack that threatens public education, Professor Peter Mathews at Cypress College in Orange County and his colleagues and students are seeking support for an Oil Extraction Tax ballot initiative that would tax oil in California and raise $3 billion for education at Community Colleges, the State Colleges, the UC system and K-12.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GVConsulting stands with The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), Public Citizen, and other entities in strong opposition to the NAFTA-style trade deal between the United States and Korea. In these economic times, the United States cannot afford to perpetuate and expand the failures of policy-making as seen in the Bush-era agreement with Peru as well as those with other states under the guise of free trade. No course of action within the Korean agreement will fulfill the needs of the unemployed here at home; strengthen the manufacturing base and small businesses in the United States; raise the labor standards of the Korean state; preserve and enhance local and regional environments; and protect consumers. Standing at the side of IAM, Public Citizen, and other partners, GVConsulting encourages every member of Congress to reject the Korean agreement outright.]]></description>

On the techie side of things, our web guru set things up so that detailed posts will share the teaser on our main page, and readers can click through to enter the rabbit hole that is our world at GVC. This is a good thing, as engaging citizens can now take a quick peak  by scrolling the main page, and I (GV) can be held accountable for posting consistently. Cheers for that! We&#8217;ve also added additional communication tools to your right: grab our Twitter feed and we will do our best to share a variety of content, from policy-making to physics to angst to music.

		<description><![CDATA[Chaffee County Tuesday afternoon issued a notice to Nestle that it could proceed with its plan to pump millions of gallons of water from springs next to the Arkansas River and cart it to Denver for bottling under the Arrowhead Springs label. Nestle spent years negotiating with the Chaffee Board of Commissioners where water lives, buying land around the water, negotiating with the Aurora City Council for its lease to the water, fighting off protesters and finally constructing pipelines and a pumping station in Johnson Village near Buena Vista. As of 07.27.10,  Nestle can turn the spigot and begin filling its fleet of twenty-five 8,000 gallon trucks each day. Read more here: Nestle given the OK.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following piece was written by Matt Gonzalez, and discusses in detail how Fred Bekele won a parking garage contract in San Francisco, only to have it taken away. In the summer of 2007, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA) hired consultant Barbara Chance to address multiple issues concerning the city’s management and award of public contracts for city-owned parking facilities. The MTA was concerned that, among other things, the city was not maximizing the revenues it could derive from parking facilities, and that locally owned businesses were being denied entry into the competitive world of public parking contracts. Also, concerns that parking garage contracts were being awarded amid charges of influence peddling were prevalent. On June 19, 2007, Ms. Chance, a nationally recognized expert in parking, transportation and access management, presented her recommendations, which included a plan for revising the process for contract bidding to enable a more<a href="http://gregoryvickrey.com/2010/07/why-bother-bidding/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

We will be adding references for these selections soon. Spread the word, friends; 2010 is upon us and time slows for no man or woman. New year, stronger fronts.
