It - rushton - spfld mayors race Frank edwards - jim langfelder Thursday, Nov. 29, 2018 12:07 am Familiar faces in mayoral race Contest pits incumbent against former alderman By Bruce Rushton Former alderman Frank Edwards, left, will face Mayor Jim Langfelder in the April mayoral election. It’s been a dozen years since Springfield has seen a two-horse mayoral race. In 2007, incumbent Tim Davlin shellacked Bruce Strom, who got less than 40 percent of the vote, both in the primary and the general election. In 2011, seven mayoral candidates crowded the primary ballot; in 2015, there were five. And now, we are, again, down to two, with former alderman Frank Edwards being the only candidate to file against Mayor Jim Langfelder, who never has had a close call at the polls. Before winning the mayor’s post in 2015 with 55 percent of the vote, Langfelder had last faced an opponent in 2003, when he got nearly 60 percent in his first of three successful bids for treasurer. Edwards says he figures he’s the underdog, but that’s true of anyone running against an incumbent. He says he can’t think of anything that the mayor’s done well; Langfelder says he’s done plenty. The candidates’ views also diverge on money. Edwards, whose campaign committee filed organization papers last week, predicted a $300,000 price tag for his campaign, with the tab for both candidates exceeding $500,000. The mayor, who spent nearly $200,000 in 2017 and had $52,000 on hand at the end of September, projected his campaign budget at $100,000, noting that there will be no primary before the April 2 general election. Edwards has been in the mix since October, when he attended a meeting at headquarters for Laborer’s Local 477, whose business manager, Brad Schaive, at the time said he was trying to find candidates to challenge Langfelder. Edwards declined to tell Illinois Times who attended the meeting, Schaive could not be reached for comment. Rosemarie Long, chairwoman of the Sangamon County Republican Party, said that the GOP doesn’t plan to issue an endorsement in the nonpartisan race. “But that doesn’t mean we won’t work to support him,” Long said. Edwards, who got party support when he ran for city treasurer in 2015, said he expects labor support in the mayor’s race. The mayor chuckled when asked whether he and Schaive have exchanged Christmas gift wish lists. “We’ve never exchanged Christmas gifts,” Langfelder said before praising Schaive for being an effective union leader. “He’s a great leader for his group,” the mayor said. “I have to represent 115,000 people.” Langfelder downplayed the importance of organized labor’s support of his 2015 candidacy. “I owe the victory to the voters of Springfield,” the mayor said. “They were one of many groups that helped out.” Edwards last appeared on a municipal ballot in 2015, when he was beaten by Misty Buscher, who’d never before run for elective office and won the treasurer’s office with 55 percent of the vote over the veteran officeholder. “I can’t explain that, to be real honest with you,” says Edwards, who allows that he may have underestimated his opponent. “I didn’t work as hard as I should have. I wasn’t out there fighting the battle that I should have fought, educating the people like I should have done.” This time, Edwards says, will be different. “I think it’s going to be an all-out fight,” he says. Edwards criticizes Langfelder for pushing through tax hikes. “I see people leaving, I see job loss,” Edwards says. “Our town’s dying. And yet our taxes keep going up.” Edwards says the city should be able to balance books from efficiencies as opposed to raising taxes, and he says he’d instill an immediate hiring freeze if he’s elected. “Our finances are in terrible shape,” he says. “If we’re raising taxes, why are we hiring people?” Edwards also says that crime is an issue, pointing to a real-estate website called neighborhoodscout.com, which scores cities on crime and says that Springfield is a four on a 1-to-100 scale, with 100 being safest, making the capital city more dangerous than East St. Louis, which got a six, and Chatham, which was rated at 82. Edwards said that he has not examined crime statistics published by the U.S. Department of Justice, which show that both violent crime and property crime rates in Springfield have remained essentially flat between 2014, the year before Langfelder took office, and last year, the most recent year for which statistics are available. Edwards wouldn’t say whether he’d replace police chief Kenny Winslow, who was on the wrong end of a no-confidence vote by officers last year. “I’m not prepared to say that right now,” Edwards said. He said he didn’t have a position on whether the city properly handled the case of Samuel Rosario, an officer fired in 2017 after getting into a fistfight with a man who had exchanged insults with the officer. Edwards said it wouldn’t be appropriate to comment on the case of Sgt. Gary Wangard, who is under investigation after a woman was shot in October, five days after the sergeant was captured on video telling an arrestee that the woman’s son had been an informant. Edwards said he can’t think of anything that Langfelder has done well. “I’ve tried to come up with something,” Edwards said. “That’s why I’m running for mayor.” “Evidently, he hasn’t followed city government very well,” Langfelder responded. The mayor pointed to the city’s successful effort to persuade the legislature to enable renewal of the downtown tax-increment financing district as one of many accomplishments. He also said he’s made hard decisions such as pushing for Bicentennial Plaza and demolition of the YWCA building on a now-vacant block with a purpose yet to be determined. “The hard decision was bringing down the Y – I took the hit on it, now people see the magnificence of the (governor’s) mansion,” said Langfelder, who added that Edwards, while an alderman, voted to purchase the property without first getting an appraisal. “We’ve been making the tough decisions and really moving plans forward.” Contact Bruce Rushton at [email protected]. -- Sent from Fast notepad

New York Times, Late Edition (East Coast); New York, N.Y. [New York, N.Y]08 Dec 2018: A.15. Publisher logo. Links to publisher website, opened in a new window. Full text Details Translate Full text WASHINGTON -- President Trump is expected to name Gen. Mark A. Milley, the Army chief of staff, to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the top-ranking military position in the country, administration officials said on Friday. Mr. Trump teased the decision in remarks to reporters at the White House on Friday, saying that he would make an announcement at the Army-Navy football game on Saturday in Philadelphia. "I can give you a little hint: It will have to do with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and succession," the president said. Mr. Trump, who made several staff change announcements on Friday, met two weeks ago with General Milley and the Air Force chief of staff, Gen. David L. Goldfein, the two men believed to be in contention to succeed Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr. of the Marines, whose term as chairman expires next autumn. It is unusual for a successor to the top military job to be chosen so early, but the president has long been known to have a preference for General Milley, an ebullient officer who is well known in the halls of the Pentagon and at Army bases around the world. That preference for General Milley was at odds with Mr. Trump's defense secretary, Jim Mattis, who is believed to have wanted General Goldfein for the job. But Mr. Trump has in the last few months been overriding Mr. Mattis on a number of issues, most recently the decision to send American troops to the southern border with Mexico to counter caravans of migrants making their way north from Central America. But Pentagon officials said that Mr. Mattis, a retired Marine, was perfectly willing to work with General Milley, a graduate of Princeton University who also holds a master's degree in international relations from Columbia University. General Milley has a long military pedigree with some of the Army's legendary units, like the 82nd Airborne Division and the 10th Mountain Division. He has served multiple combat deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq. Before he was appointed Army chief in May 2015, General Milley was head of Army Forces Command at Fort Bragg, N.C., where he decided to charge Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl with desertion for walking off his post in Afghanistan in 2009. Sergeant Bergdahl was captured and held by the Taliban for five years and was released last year in exchange for five Taliban prisoners held at the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. He was dishonorably discharged last year. A Boston Red Sox fan, General Milley carries himself with the kind of earthy manner that screams Fenway Park. He does not shy away from the occasional ribald story, although he does sometimes pepper conversations with talk of "little engines that could" and red cabooses and other well-worn references to inspirational stories. At the same time, anyone talking to him knows where they stand; he is direct, an approach that played well in Afghanistan, where he was the No. 2 American commander. He was popular among the troops he commanded and got on well with Afghan military officers and civilian officials, even when he pushed back against some of their wilder claims about the war. His political skills -- the same skills he used in the last two years to become a favorite of Mr. Trump -- were on display during a day trip in summer 2013 to northern Afghanistan, where he listened patiently as a senior Afghan security official blamed Pakistanis and other foreigners for all the violence in the country. General Milley responded politely but firmly, saying that while foreign insurgents were exacerbating the situation, the Taliban are an Afghan movement, and that it was ultimately up to Afghans to work out their differences if they wanted peace in their country. At the time, it was a message that Afghans had long ago tired of hearing from the Americans, but General Milley managed to deliver it without offending his host. Five years later, American military officials are still delivering that same message, as the Afghanistan war continues on. As the Army chief of staff, General Milley has instead turned his attention to whether almost two decades of fighting in Afghanistan -- and Iraq and Syria -- has taken away from the Army's ability to fight a land war against a more traditional military adversary. "Today, a major in the Army knows nothing but fighting terrorists and guerrillas, because he came into the Army after 9/11," General Milley said in an interview in 2016 with The New York Times. He described a loss of what he called muscle memory: how to fight a large land war, including one where an established adversary is able to bring sophisticated air defenses, tanks, infantry, naval power and even cyberweapons into battle.

New York Times, Late Edition (East Coast); New York, N.Y. [New York, N.Y]11 Dec 2018: A.1. Publisher logo. Links to publisher website, opened in a new window. Full text Details Translate Full text WASHINGTON -- On a July evening, Trump administration officials and allies, including the president's personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, gathered with investors atop the Hay-Adams hotel overlooking the White House for a cocktail reception featuring a short presentation by the Democratic Republic of Congo's special envoy to the United States. An invitation for the reception billed it as an opportunity to learn about "the role Africa plays in gaining access to critical minerals, such as cobalt" and to discuss "the strategic relationship" between the United States and the nations of Africa. In fact, the reception was part of an aggressive $8 million lobbying and public relations campaign that used lobbyists with ties to the Trump administration to try to ease concerns about the Congolese president, Joseph Kabila, whose government was facing threats of additional sanctions from the Trump administration for human rights abuses and corruption. The lavish cocktail party was one example of a lucrative and expanding niche within Washington's influence industry. As President Trump's administration has increasingly turned to sanctions, travel restrictions and tariffs to punish foreign governments as well as people and companies from abroad, targets of those measures have turned for assistance to Washington's K Street corridor of law, lobbying and public relations firms. The work can carry reputational and legal risks, since clients often come with toxic baggage and the United States Treasury Department restricts transactions with entities under sanctions. As a result, it commands some of the biggest fees of any sector in the influence industry. And some of the biggest payments have been going to lobbyists, lawyers and consultants with connections to Mr. Trump or his administration. "People overseas often want to hear that you know so-and-so, and can make a call to solve their problem," said Erich Ferrari, a leading Washington sanctions lawyer who said he has tried to disabuse prospective clients of such notions. It is a perception that matches up with the pay-to-play mind-set that defines politics in many parts of Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the former Soviet states. As politicians and executives from those regions have increasingly been targeted by sanctions, they have sought to apply that approach -- backed by huge sums of cash -- to navigating Washington, lobbyists and former government officials say. This has been encouraged, they say, by the willingness projected by Mr. Trump and his team to make deals around sanctions and tariffs exemptions. Previous administrations had worked to wall off politics from those processes, which are supposed to be overseen primarily by career officials and governed by strict legal analyses. In June, after a personal intervention by Mr. Trump, the Commerce Department rescinded sanctions that could have crippled the Chinese technology giant ZTE, which had fought the sanctions through an intense three-month lobbying push that cost $1.4 million. A $108,500-a-month lobbying campaign has helped delay the imposition of sanctions against an industrial conglomerate owned by the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. Among the leaders of the lobbying efforts for both ZTE and Mr. Deripaska's companies was Bryan Lanza, a former Trump campaign aide who maintains close ties to administration officials. His firm, Mercury Public Affairs, has signed other clients facing punitive measures from the United States government, including the United States subsidiary of Hikvision, a company owned by the Chinese government. The company, according to lobbying filings, paid a Mercury team including Mr. Lanza a fee that started at $70,000 a month to lobby on the carrying out of a military-spending bill. The bill bars the United States government from purchasing video surveillance products made by a handful of Chinese companies, including Hikvision, ZTE and Huawei, whose chief financial officer was arrested in Canada at the request of the United States government, apparently on suspicion of violating sanctions against Iran. Sanctions targets who had not previously tried to win reprieve are sensing an opening. Viktor F. Yanukovych, the former president of Ukraine, who had sanctions levied against him in 2014, has discussed a push to win relief and refurbish his image with well-connected law and lobbying firms including Greenberg Traurig. Among the other Trump-linked lobbyists who have received big contracts from targets of sanctions and tariffs is Brian Ballard, a top fund-raiser for Mr. Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee. His firm signed a $125,000-a-month contract in August 2017 to represent the Turkish-state-owned bank Halkbank, which has been working to avoid punishment for its role in a billion-dollar scheme to evade sanctions on Iran. The representation brought Mr. Ballard into discussions with Mr. Giuliani, who represented a gold trader charged in the scheme. Then there is the lawyer Alan Dershowitz. His criticism of the special counsel's investigation of Mr. Trump has endeared him to the president. But Mr. Dershowitz also has a long history of representing clients in transnational legal matters, including sanctions. Mr. Dershowitz is advising Dan Gertler, an Israeli billionaire who was the target of sanctions by Washington last year for using his connections to Mr. Kabila, the Congolese president, to facilitate what the Treasury Department called "opaque and corrupt mining and oil deals." Mr. Dershowitz called Mr. Gertler "a very good person" who is "being targeted primarily because of the actions of other people." While Mr. Trump has invited Mr. Dershowitz to the White House to discuss Middle East issues on multiple occasions, Mr. Dershowitz said he had not used his access to lobby on behalf of Mr. Gertler. "I would never raise an issue like this," he said. Mr. Kabila's government has stocked up on consultants who have cast themselves as able to broker access at the highest levels of the administration. It has paid $8 million to its security contractor, an Israeli firm called Mer Security and Communication Systems, to hire American lobbyists, according to lobbying filings. Mer paid $500,000 in April 2017 to Alston & Bird, the firm of former Senator Bob Dole. Mr. Dole's team indicated that it could secure a meeting between Mr. Kabila and Mr. Trump, according to people familiar with the relationship. The meeting never happened, and Mer ended the subcontract in frustration. Mer proceeded to invest millions more in lobbying and public relations firms with lower profiles but closer ties to the Trump team. Lobbying filings show $360,000 paid by Mer to Adnan Jalil, a former congressional liaison for Mr. Trump's campaign; $250,000 to the firm of Nancye Miller, the wife of the Trump campaign adviser and former C.I.A. chief R. James Woolsey Jr.; $680,000 to the firm of former Representative Robert L. Livingston, an early Trump endorser; and $598,000 to the firm of Brian Glicklich, who has represented Trump allies such as Breitbart News and Rush Limbaugh. Mer also agreed to pay $1.25 million to the firm of Robert Stryk, who had worked with Trump campaign officials, to organize the Hay-Adams event and meetings around it for Mr. Kabila's special envoy to the United States. (Mr. Stryk's firm, Sonoran Policy Group, also signed a $100,000-a-month contract in August to represent Somalia in its bid for increased military aid from the Trump administration and removal from its travel ban list. And Sonoran registered as a subcontractor for a law firm to lobby for a notorious Serbian arms dealer who was hit with sanctions for selling weapons to Liberia). At the time of the Congolese reception, the Trump administration and the international community were pressuring Mr. Kabila to step down, partly by intimating that his allies might face additional sanctions. Not only had he been accused of violent repression of dissent and looting millions, but he had overstayed the country's constitutionally mandated term limits by nearly two years. The Congolese officials at the reception posed for photos with Mr. Giuliani, and afterward there was some confusion about his connection to the lobbying effort. Francois Balumuene, the Congolese ambassador to the United States, suggested in an interview in September that his country was working with Mr. Giuliani to figure out the administration's position on an upcoming presidential election called by Mr. Kabila to avoid threatened sanctions. "What I know is that it is possible that Giuliani will let us know how to go ahead," Mr. Balumuene said. He referred additional questions about Mr. Giuliani's role to the country's special envoy to Washington, Raymond Tshibanda, who could not be reached for comment. Mr. Giuliani said he was not serving as an intermediary between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the administration. In an interview in September, he initially said he stopped by the reception for a half-hour to "say hello to people" and to impress a woman with whom he had been dining by taking her "to the top of the Hay-Adams to see a Washington party" with a "great view." But he later suggested that he attended at least partly because he was interested in exploring business opportunities, adding, "We've always wanted to see what's Africa all about." And someone familiar with Mr. Giuliani's business affairs said that one of his companies has recently been negotiating a consulting deal to work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, possibly through Mer. In text messages on Sunday, Mr. Giuliani said that "if I do it, it would only be security consulting" similar to what he does in other countries, not lobbying. "Beyond that, I can't say anything other than you can assume if we are working in a foreign country, we are doing security -- physical and cyber, antiterrorism, emergency management." It is not clear whether the lobbying overseen by Mer had much effect, and several of Mer's subcontracts with Trump-linked lobbyists have expired. Less than a month after the Hay-Adams event, Mr. Kabila announced that he would not seek a third term in presidential elections scheduled for this month. While some Trump administration officials are concerned that the elections are being tilted in favor of Mr. Kabila's chosen successor, the United States has not leveled additional sanctions against the country since Mr. Kabila's announcement -- an outcome some lobbyists on the account are privately claiming as a victory. In October, Mer signed a new $200,000 contract with a public relations firm called Sanitas International that was co-founded by Christopher Harvin, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign who had worked in President George W. Bush's administration. The firm is seeking to demonstrate to the news media that Mr. Kabila does, in fact, intend to step down and hold free and fair elections. Credit: KENNETH P.
