Trump\’s Religious Liberty Reforms

January 17, 2020

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on

public policy reforms issued by the Trump administration on January 16

:

The public policy reforms governing religious liberty issued by the Trump administration are compelling and much needed.  President Trump has proven once again that he is the most religion-friendly president in the modern era.

The Trump administration has provided a much-needed corrective to the draconian directives promulgated by the previous administration: the role of religious liberty under President Obama was diminished to such an extent that it all but neutered the free exercise of religion in public policy programs. Trump has reversed this condition, awarding religious liberty the kind of breathing room it deserves, both morally and legally.

There are three areas of public policy affecting religious liberty that have been targeted for reform by the Trump administration: faith-based programs; higher education; and religious institutions.

While the directives that have been issued are tailored to each of these three sectors, there are two elements that are common to all of them: religious institutions will not be afforded a second-class status any longer and their autonomy will be protected.

The Trump administration wants to end the invidious practices of discriminating against religious institutions and associations that were instituted by the Obama administration. Any institution that does not treat religious institutions as the equal of secular institutions will be faced with the prospect of having federal funds terminated.

Religious autonomy is another feature of these reforms. For instance, the state cannot force religious associations to jettison their religious character as a condition of federal aid. Regrettably, this has been done, the effect of which has been to secularize these entities. What is the sense of having a religious institution if it cannot freely exercise its religious prerogatives?

In effect, the Trump administration is going to continue its efforts to put an end to the animus against religious institutions that characterized the Obama administration.

As is customary, the public is being given 30 days to comment on these proposals. I will submit a detailed account of the Catholic League\’s problems with the Obama administration in its handling of faith-based programs, and the need for the kinds of reforms as outlined in the new directives. We will make public our input.

popular trophies

have stories to tell and share interesting facts. The information provided below gives complete details about seven exciting facts related to famous sporting trophies.

The Claret Jug

The

Claret Jug

is a fancy silver cup awarded to the winner of the British Open. Tom Morris Junior won the open continuously for three years (1868-70). The trophy required £30. Although Tom won the next open in 1871, he could not get the award because it was not ready.

Venus Rosewater Dish

The Venus Rosewater Dish is the Wimbledon single’s trophy awarded to ladies at the championship. The dish became part of the tennis family since 1886 and has become a pride in the sport. Rosewater dishes were popular in England, as it helped them to collect rosewater poured on the hands to wash. It is a copy of the pewter located in the Louvre.

Ryder Cup

What makes Ryder Cup interesting is the fact that the winner does not receive any prize money for the competition even when the sport is a high-profile event. Usually conducted between the United States and Great Britain, the Ryder Cup is a men’s golf competition. Both the countries participate in it, which is biennial with changing venues. The cup remains exceptional and profound in the field of professional sports, given that the players receive no winning money.

Gordon Bennett Cup

The cup stands 5 feet tall and weighs 45 kg. The surface of the trophy has the faces of the winners of the Indianapolis 500 competition from its start in 1911. While the original trophy sits in the hall of fame museum of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the winner of the competition receives a replica of the original that is 18-inches and termed as “Baby Borg.”

received the Jules Rimet Trophy

. The president initiated conducting the tournament after voting in the year 1929. The trophy carries the name of the president, Jules Rimet. Furthermore, according to the president, Rimet, stated that any nation that continues to win the trophy three times gets the chance to keep the award permanently. Brazil won the third world cup in 1970 and thus allowed to keep the trophy forever.

Community Reformers Call on DPRA Members to Investigate Questionable Land Dealings

CAMDEN CITY, NJ (January 17, 2020)(Gloucestercitynews.net)-

-Community reformers jammed the Delaware River Port Authority meeting on Wednesday calling on the governors of New Jersey and Pennsylvania

to investigate the connection of the DRPA board members with political

power broker George Norcross III.

The

Philadelphia Inquire

r reported the progressive political groups specifically cited the two parcels of land that the agency sold or optioned for development projects in Camden.

“It is time for a full accounting of the facts and to clean house in an agency that has acted for too long as a tool of special interests,\” wrote leaders of the two groups, New Jersey Working Families and Pennsylvania Working Families, in a letter addressed to Govs. Phil Murphy and Tom Wolf on Wednesday.

The groups also made that request in person Wednesday morning, when about a dozen activists filed into the DRPA’s 11th-floor conference room in Camden.

Seven of them addressed the agency’s board, composed of members appointed by the governors of both states.

“There are people on the DRPA board, certainly on the New Jersey side … with very, very strong political connections and financial connections to a political machine that, in our opinion, prioritizes the lining of its own pockets and corporate interests over the interests of the public dollar and of public opinion,” said Sue Altman, state director of New Jersey Working Families.

The letter follows

an Inquirer article

, published last month, that detailed how South Jersey political power broker George E. Norcross III came to acquire a three-acre parking lot near the Camden waterfront. Both the DRPA and the Camden Redevelopment Agency held rights to the land, which was appraised at $2.3 million.

The DRPA’s interest in the land was appraised at $800,000, and in 2016 the agency sold the parcel for that amount to Liberty Property Trust, the onetime developer of a major waterfront project fueled by a controversial state tax-credit program. Liberty later sold the land to Norcross and his business partners for $350,000 according to

The Inquirer.

(

January 17, 2020)–N

ew Jersey Working Families State Director Sue Altman (photo)released the following statement in response to yesterday’s task force report:

“The task force’s new report unearthed a staggering level of corruption unprecedented in New Jersey history. George Norcross,

his brothers and his companies conspired to cheat taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars – and they did it with the full cooperation of the Christie administration and legislative leaders.

“This is Trenton at its worst. Norcross lied to the Legislature, and no one dared ask him hard questions or hold him accountable.

“It’s time for law enforcement to step in and provide justice for New Jersey taxpayers. If politicians could be charged for taking cash out of coffee cups, then political insiders who robbed taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars need to ex

TerrAscend Issued Permit to Grow Medical Marijuana

Eighth Alternative Treatment Center Statewide Permitted to Grow

Boonton Township NJ

–The New Jersey Department of Health today issued a permit to TerrAscend in Boonton Township to begin growing medical marijuana. The permit was issued after a comprehensive review including several site inspections, background checks of

its corporate officers and a review of its security operations and cultivation facility.

“The Department is committed to providing greater access to this therapy for patients,” said New Jersey Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli.  “TerrAscend is the fourth Alternative Treatment Center to receive a permit to grow product in the northern region of the state.”

After product has been tested by the state laboratory and the dispensary is operational and inspected by the Medical Marijuana Program (MMP), a second permit will be issued to operate and dispense as an Alternative Treatment Centers (ATC). TerrAscend will operate their dispensary in Phillipsburg.

Once TerrAscend receives its permit to dispense, the MMP will notify the patients and caregivers by email of the opening date.

TerrAscend is the second ATC to receive a cultivation permit among the awards made by the MMP in December 2018. In December 2019, the MMP

issued

cultivation and dispensing permits to GTI, which opened Rise dispensary in Paterson that same month.

TerrAscend officials hope the dispensary is permitted and able to begin dispensing medical marijuana to registered patients and caregivers in the spring.

“We are honored to receive our cultivation permit after meeting the rigorous requirements and operating procedures by NJ DOH,” said Jason Ackerman, Executive Chairman of TerrAscend. “TerrAscend is committed to compliance, quality and safety and we look forward to bringing high-quality, trusted brands from TerrAscend’s portfolio to medical-use patients in New Jersey.”

There are seven Alternative Treatment Centers currently dispensing medical marijuana: Greenleaf Compassion Center of Montclair, Compassionate Care Foundation of Egg Harbor, Garden State Dispensary of Woodbridge and Union Township, Breakwater Alternative Treatment Center of Cranbury, Curaleaf NJ, Inc. in Bellmawr, Harmony Dispensary in Secaucus and Rise in Paterson.

Participation in the program continues to grow.  There are more than 66,200 patients, 2,500 caregivers and 1,092 physicians participating in the program.

Patients and caregivers can visit the

MMP\’s website

if they choose to change their preferred ATC. The change can also be made by calling the Customer Service Unit of the MMP at 609-292-0424 and does not require changing ID cards.

Patients can refer to the

FAQ section

of the MMP website for additional information. The 474 active physicians enrolled in the program are listed by county and medical specialty.

PENNSYLVANIA SPORTSBOOKS CLOSE 2019 WITH RECORD $342.6 MILLION IN BETS

 

Online sports betting continues to grow as online poker scores strong month, according to

PlayPennsylvania.com

(LAS VEGAS) — Pennsylvania online and retail sportsbooks posted a record handle of more than $342 million in December — and crossed $1 billion in online bets since launch — to cap a year that generated nearly $1.5 billion in wagers. And with a full year of online sports betting ahead and an increasingly robust offering of operators, Pennsylvania should more than double that handle in 2020, according to analysts from PlayPennsylvania.

“That last two months of 2019 began to show us the real potential of the Pennsylvania market,” said Dustin Gouker, analyst for

PlayPennsylvania.com

. “The launch of DraftKings in November, adding one of the best-known brands to Pennsylvania, helped push online betting forward. And now that the online market is maturing, it is entirely possible that 2020 could bring in $4 billion or more in online and retail bets.\”

In December, Pennsylvania’s sportsbooks accepted $342.6 million in wagers, up 8.2% from $316.5 million, according to official data released Thursday. Before November, Pennsylvania had never accepted more than $200 million in a single month.

December’s bets produced $17.5 million in revenue — down from November’s $20.6 million win — injecting $3.9 million into state coffers.

In 2019, the Keystone State generated:

$1.49 billion in bets, including $1.1 billion in online bets.

Taxable revenue of $84.1 million, including $43 million online.

$28.6 million in state taxes

Pennsylvania will finish 2019 a distant third in total handle among all legal sports betting jurisdictions. New Jersey, the country’s No. 2, attracted $4.6 billion in bets in 2019. But Pennsylvania’s haul in state taxes was more comparable to New Jersey, which generated revenue of $36.5 million.

“Pennsylvania is beginning to succeed where it wanted to most: making sports betting a significant revenue driver for the state,” Gouker said. “Its tax rate is significantly higher than every other state, which has slowed the industry’s growth. But Pennsylvania is the most populous state to fully legalize sports betting, and that has proven to be too enticing for operators to ignore.”

The key reason for the Pennsylvania’s year-end momentum is its growing roster of online sportsbooks, which combined to produce 86.8%, or $297.5 million, of the state’s total December handle.

FanDuel Sportsbook at Valley Forge Casino is still the state’s standard-bearer, accepting $154.5 million in December bets, up from $149.7 million in November. That yielded $7 million in taxable revenue, up from $5.6 million. FanDuel was followed by:

DraftKings at The Meadows ($35.9 million in December handle, up from $16.2 million; $732,883 taxable revenue, down from $1.1 million)

Rivers-Philadelphia ($30.6 million in handle, down from $32.4 million; $1.1 million revenue, down from $1.4 million)

Rivers-Pittsburgh ($28.3 million in handle, down from $32.4 million in November; $1.3 million revenue, up from $1.1 million)

Parx Casino ($25.5 million handle, up from $22.4 million; $779,529 revenue, down from $1.3 million)

Fox Bet at Mount Airy ($16.4 million handle, up from $13.5 million; $312,658  revenue, down from $1 million in revenue)

Unibet at Mohegan Sun Pocono ($6.1 million handle, up from $1.9 million; -$31,744 revenue, up from -$46,642)

Rivers Philadelphia’s $7.7 million handle, down from $8.9 million in November, overtook the retail market. That yielded $590,177 in revenue, up from $234,951. Rivers Philadelphia was followed by:

Parx ($7.51 million handle, down from $8.1 million; $572,416 revenue, down from $739,281)

Rivers Pittsburgh ($7.48 million handle in November, down from $8.9 million; $518,743 revenue, up from $486,449)

Valley Forge Casino ($3.6 million handle, up from $3.2 million; $107,145 revenue, down from $192,492)

South Philadelphia Race and Sportsbook ($3.3 million handle, down from $3.6 million; $328,651 revenue, down from $339,310)

Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course ($3.2 million handle, down from $3.8 million; $112,277 revenue, up from $48,520)

Harrah’s Philadelphia ($3 million handle, even with November; $123,799 revenue, down from $234,355)

Presque Isle ($3 million handle, down from $3.7 million; $217,870 revenue, down from $302,458)

Mohegan ($2.6 million handle, up from $2.5 million; $257,956 revenue, up from $173,120)

Oaks Race and Sportsbook ($1.2 million handle, down from $1.4 million; $65,949 revenue, down from $149,765)

Mount Airy ($814,931 handle, down from $868,026 handle; $73,692 revenue, up from $43,680 in revenue)

“The Rivers Casino books in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have capitalized on their markets to set themselves apart,” Gouker said. “But the proliferation of online betting has muted the growth of retail sportsbooks. The convenience of online betting, coupled with a robust in-game experience, is tough for retail sportsbooks to match.

ONLINE POKER TAKES OFF IN DECEMBER

Online poker drew significant history as the popularity of online casinos continued to grow in December. Online casino games and poker produced a record $10.6 million in December gross revenue, up 22% from $8.7 million in November. That yielded $2.3 million in tax revenue for the state.

Poker generated $2.5 million in December — all at Mount Airy/PokerStars — putting the record $3.4 million that New Jersey online poker rooms tallied in January 2014 in sight.

“The interest in poker so far in Pennsylvania is dramatic compared with neighboring New Jersey, where about 3% of online casino and poker revenue comes from poker,” Gouker said. “New Jersey got off to a hot start, too. So the question now is can the Pennsylvania sustain the initial enthusiasm.”

Rivers-Philadelphia held on to the online casino and poker market lead with $3 million in revenue on $181.5 million in bets. Revenue was down from $3.2 million on $148.7 million in wagers in November. Rivers-Philadelphia was followed by:

Mount Airy/PokerStars ($3.5 million in revenue, up from $3 million in November; $73.6 million in bets, up from $48 million)

Penn National ($1.7 million in revenue, down from $1.9 million; $54.6 million in bets, down from $57.1 million)

Parx ($1.5 million in revenue, even with November; $53.7 million in wagers, down from $55.5 million)

Unibet/Mohegan Sun Pocono ($406,445 in revenue, up from $131,415; $22 million in bets, up from $7.4 million)
