After Telenor Now Sistema Threatens To Exit India Due To TRAI’s Proposal
2012-05-21 08:41:00 Sistema, the Russian oil to telecom conglomerate has threatened to exit India if government accepts TRAI’s proposal to sell CDMA airwaves for more than 4,078 Crore per unit. This translates a 14 fold increase in comparison to what the company paid in 2008. This is serious issue because Norwegian telecommunications operator Telenor has also followed in Sistema’s steps and threatened to exit India for the very ‘same reason’. News of the exit from the Russian operator is a 180 flip as earlier it vowed to continue operations in India after Supreme Court declared one of its license null and void. One of the senior Sistema official said that there is a lot of pressure on the company to pull out of India, a country where it has already invested $3 Billion. It had purchased controlling stake in Shyam Telelink which was subsequently been renamed to Sistema Shyam. The company is better known to the public as MTS. Sistema has in the past pushed a petition in the Supreme ...

Tenants to CHA: Scrap drug-testing proposal
2011-06-02 18:19:00 Chicago Housing Authority officials and public housing residents have been at odds for years over policies created under the Plan for Transformation. While the CHA maintains that stricter lease requirements -- like mandatory good neighbor classes and a one-strike eviction rule -- for those living in subsidized units is key to creating harmony in new mixed-income communities, residents see the policies as downright discriminatory. And the CHA's latest proposal -- the topic of discussion at a public hearing tonight -- has become yet another source of tension....
Dems Deny Vote on Fair Map Proposal; Shun Public Input in Favor of Partisan
2011-05-31 14:00:00 From the office of Ill. GOP Minority House Leader Tom Cross... In a stunning reversal of their oft-repeated pledge to lead an open and transparent redistricting process, House and Senate Democrats introduced a brand new partisan legislative map late yesterday which was different from the one publicly released last week. This bait-and-switch follows weeks of public hearings held throughout the state to obtain local citizen input on how Illinois' new map should be drawn; a mere days after three public forums held within the past week on the original publicly-released map. So much for transparency. Meanwhile, House Republicans kept our pledge to introduce a Fair Map to produce new districts equal in population, in compliance with both the state and...

Low-income housing proposal spurs sparring in Oak Park
2011-01-11 00:40:00 Oak Park has long been known as one of Chicagoland's more open and welcoming communities. As is often the case in even the most liberal suburb, however, any proposal to build low-income housing triggers a drawn-out community debate. Communities that thrive on racial and ethnic diversity, it seems, aren't always as welcoming of economic diversity.

This means that whites lose out next year -- and every year after that. Whites share of seats will drop by at least 5% to 12%. Asians will likely drop 2% to 8%.

GAO Issues Report on President's 2011 Budget Proposal for Corps of Engineer
2010-04-30 19:21:00 By: Joseph A. Hackenbracht On April 2, 2010, the Government Accountability Office responded to a request from the House Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development to evaluate “whether the President’s recent budget requests for the Corps are presented so that agency priorities are clear and proposed use of funds transparent.” In its analysis, the GAO reviewed the Corps’ internal review guidance for fiscal year 2011 and interviewed Corps’ officials at the Headquarters office and all Division offices. The GAO concluded that the Corps’ budget presentation continues to lack transparency and should provide key information that would be useful for Congress’ review of the budget. GAO believes that the Corps should provide two types of project-level information: first, information on projects previously funded that may still have resource needs; and second, information on the amount of unobligated appropriations remaining on previously funded...

Tobin Tax Proposal
2010-02-15 14:07:00 Some 350 economists (including Joseph Stiglitz) have signed a letter proposing a modest 'tobin tax' on speculative dealings on shares and currency movements. The tax would amount to 0.05% of transactions. "This tax is an idea that has come of age. The financial crisis has shown us the dangers of unregulated finance, and the link between the financial sector and society has been broken. It is time to fix this link and for the financial sector to give something back to society."This money is urgently needed. The crises of poverty and of climate change require an historic transfer of billions of dollars from the rich world to the poor world, and this tax would offer a clear way to help fund this."

The GAO, in a recent decision,Coastal Environments, Inc., B-401889, dated December 18, 2009, provides important clarification. The decision beckons closer scrutiny of awards by unsuccessful offerors. In Coastal Environments, Inc., the RFP identified six (6) evaluation factors in descending order of importance: (1) personnel and company qualifications, (2) management capability, (3) technical excellence, (4) past performance, (5) small business participation, and (6) price; the RFP also identified several subfactors under the non-price evaluation factors. Award was to be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal was determined to represent the “best value” to the government, all factors considered.

The Danger of Involving Former Government Employees in Contractor Proposal
2009-12-12 13:38:00 By: Lane F. Kelman As opportunities in the private sector remain, at best, stagnant, the public sector has become increasingly competitive. The desire to gain a competitive advantage, however, must be tempered by compliance with ethical obligations. When attempting to gain a competitive advantage, it is crucial to avoid the appearance that your advantage is unfair. A recent decision by the GAO, Health Net Federal Services, LLC, highlights the balance that must be had when you seek a competitive advantage and the risk if the balance is not maintained. On November 9, 2009, the GAO sustained the bid protest of Health Net Federal Services, LLC (HNFS) of the award of a contract to Aetna Government Health Plans, LLC (AGHP). HNFS and AGHP issued offers in response to request for proposals issued by the Department of Defense TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) for T-3 TRICARE managed health care support services. TRICARE is a managed health care program implemented by the Department of Defens...

No Chinese Handsets on Indian Border – Is The Govt. Proposal Acceptab
2009-09-01 07:23:00 The past few years have seen military tension frequently simmer between India and China over border violations, Â suspicions of military spying, etc. And considering the fact that China has a tight control over the home grown corporations, it comes as no surprise the the Indian Government is wary of Chinese equipments used by Indian network providers in the sensitive border areas. Among the new set of diktats issued by the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) is a proposal to ban the use of equipments from Huawei and ZTE along 14-20 circles that share the border with unfriendly countries like Pakistan and China. One cannot find fault with the proposal considering that the threat is genuine, but the network providers are clearly not happy. The main reason is that the opportunity cost to switching equipment providers is huge; firstly because there are several contractual agreements already in place with the Chinese manufacturers and secondly because the European manufacturers are mu...

Read it then tell me if you'll see "The Proposal" just because you like Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, or if you'll avoid it like month-old milk."The Proposal"** (out of five)It's awfully depressing to walk out of a romantic comedy after having felt absolutely nothing, and laughed only once or twice.

Outrage Over Veterans Health Care Proposal
2009-03-19 07:01:00 A recent Obama administration proposal seeks to save money by cutting health care from veterans whom already have private insurance.  Is this one of the best ways we have to save money?  Democrats on Capital Hill issued a letter to President Obama to express their distaste for the proposal.  As the AIG outrage over shadows most more important and substantial news, issues such as this fall to the waste side.  President Obama is right of course to try and save the government money where he can however it should not come at the expense of those that serve our country.  Veterans relying on their private insurance may not always be an adequate way to cover the needs of service injuries. As we saw in the Walter Reed Army Medical Center case extremely poor treatment was given to some of our veterans.  To allow any veteran to receive such poor treatment after returning from duty is unacceptable and we cannot allow it to happen again.  With increasingly common PTSD cases and lo...

The Importance of Proposal Preparation in Responding to an RFP
2009-01-14 21:02:00 As the government has expanded its uses of Contracting by Negotiation through the issuance of RFPs ("Requests for Proposals"), as opposed to Sealed Bidding and the issuance of IFBs ("Invitations for Bid"), contractors have had to adapt to this new way of doing business. All too often, a perfectly capable contractor is not selected for award, even though its price was the lower than its competitors, because it failed to adequately address the evaluation factors listed in the solicitation. A recent decision by the GAO in the Matter of Capitol Drywall Supply, Inc. ("CDS"), decided on January 12, 2009, highlights the difficulty that a contractor faces when the agency and the GAO conclude that a proposal misses the mark. The proposal by CDS was one of six submitted to the Corps of Engineers, and was the second lowest in price. The problem, however, was that CDS was rated as the lowest on the technical merit evaluation factor due, primarily,... |
