AG Landry wants info on JPMorgan Chase gun policy

Tue, 10/19/2021 - 10:47am

WILLIAM PATRICK, The Center Square

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry is requesting Second Amendment-related information from JPMorgan Chase that could jeopardize the banking giant’s standing with the State Bond Commission.

The bond commission considers applications from parishes, municipalities and other political subdivisions to incur debt or levy taxes, often to fund public construction projects.

JPMorgan Chase is one of eight banks selected by the bond commission to serve as a senior managing underwriter for major financial transactions. According to Landry, a bond commission member, the New York-based financial institution has participated in two transactions since February 2020, totaling as much as $1.1 billion.

As part of the selection process, a Solicitation for Offers document includes a question asking banks about any policies that would restrict or infringe on constitutionally protected gun rights or discriminate against Louisianans who exercise such rights.

JPMorgan Chase said it had none.

In a letter sent last week to Jamie Dimon, the bank’s chair and CEO, Landry cited Dimon’s testimony before the U.S. House Financial Services Committee in May that could suggest otherwise.

“In this testimony, you stated the following in response to a question from Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.): ‘we do not finance the manufacture of military-style weapons for civilian use,’” Landry wrote.

Landry also said the response “called into question your ability to do business in several states, including Louisiana.”

The remark was a reference to a potential violation of Texas state law, where a newly enacted statute bars companies with more than 10 employees from discriminating against “a firearm entity or firearm trade association” if the companies seek to work with a governmental entity.

The bond commission SFO, dated December 2019, included a provision saying the state reserved the right to terminate a business relationship with any approved financial institution if the firm engaged in restrictive practices against law-abiding citizens, which included “the right to purchase and sell arms.”

The bond commission made national headlines in 2018 when committee members voted to disqualify Citibank and Bank of America as underwriters for a $600 million road financing plan, after the banks adopted restrictive gun-related policies.

The banks changed course after the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting in Florida that left 17 students and staff dead. JPMorgan Chase did not join Citibank and Bank of America, even as gun-control pressures mounted in Congress.

Months before the Louisiana SFO, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, pressed Dimon about JPMorgan Chase’s “$273 million of loans for manufacturers of military-style firearms.”

Dimon defended the bank, saying it was acting responsibly.

"We have a very small relationship with gun manufacturers,” he said. “There are over 100,000 retailers out there who sell guns. Every single one that we do business with, we do a thorough review … and if we think they are doing something wrong, our risk committee stops doing business with them.”

Landry’s recent request for "supplemental certification" of the SFO is aimed at determining whether the bank’s position on gun-related financial services has changed. The request also came days before the bond commission’s next meeting Thursday.

The commission meets once a month and is composed of 14 members. In addition to Landry, members include Gov. John Bel Edwards; state Senate President Cortez, R-Lafayette; state House Speaker Clay Schexnayder, R-Gonzales; and state Treasurer John Schroder.

In his letter to Dimon, Landry said he does not believe the bond commission should engage in public business with any entity that “discriminates" against law-abiding citizens.

“While I respect the right, as a private company, to pick-and-choose who you do business with, I do not believe the State of Louisiana is best served by doing business with companies that attempt to profit from the State while denying its citizens the ability to exercise their constitutional rights,” he said.

COVID derails progress made by Orleans charter schools

Tue, 10/19/2021 - 10:43am

WILLIAM PATRICK, The Center Square

From an outsider’s view, Louisiana’s latest statewide student testing results would seem to be a damaging indictment against New Orleans’ unique public school system, where 76 of 83 public institutions are charter schools.

According to the Louisiana Educational Assessment Program, an annual testing regimen known as LEAP, not a single New Orleans charter school saw positive gains in student proficiency – defined as ready for the next grade – for grades 3-8 in math, science, social studies and English language arts.

The results for high school students were similar. In the 2020-21 school year, 33% of high school students in Orleans Parish, which has the same boundaries as the city of New Orleans, were proficient in English 2, while 24% were proficient in algebra, 19% were proficient in biology and 17% were proficient in U.S. history.

When isolating New Orleans, overall LEAP scores for the past two school years appear to undermine arguments for the experiment implemented after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Louisiana’s mostly traditional public school system, however, also suffered significant performance losses, as did many states during the period largely defined by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Louisiana had the added misfortune of enduring multiple natural disasters during the period, which continues with the fallout from Hurricane Ida, a Category 4 storm that slammed into Orleans Parish and the state’s southeast region Aug. 29. One month later, more than 70,000 students remained out of school.

Student gains in New Orleans were considered far outside the city’s limits before the 2019 school year, especially given that 83% of the district’s 45,000 students are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and 90% are minorities.

“The progress we’re making in New Orleans has national importance,” Henderson Lewis Jr., superintendent of New Orleans Schools, wrote in a widely published prepandemic op-ed. “The nation is closely following what’s happening here as cities work to structure their systems in ways that benefit all children, offering not just choice, but quality choice.”

It’s about choice

Charter schools in Louisiana are authorized by either the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) or a local school board, and the schools are operated by nonprofit corporations according to an approved contract, or “charter.”

The Orleans Parish School Board authorizes New Orleans’ 76 charter schools and is responsible for holding them accountable to “standards of high quality,” according to the NOLA Public Schools website.

The allure of charter schools boils down to choice, according to Lewis.

“We are a portfolio district, where schools have flexibility and autonomy coupled with accountability to the voters through an elected school board,” he said.

The sentiment closely resembles the Louisiana Department of Education’s definition of charter schools: “public schools that exercise increased levels of autonomy in exchange for increased levels of accountability.”

DOE also states that “charter schools are able to make decisions about curriculum, staffing and budgets based on the specific students enrolled in their schools.”

In other words, they are publicly funded and privately operated, which puts them at odds with teachers’ unions and their elected allies. However, adversarial impact has been lessened in Orleans Parish as the United Teachers of New Orleans labor union – an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers and the AFL-CIO – was decimated after the mass conversion of district schools in 2005.

Charter schools are also a popular school choice option for economically disadvantaged families and minority parents. According to a recent Morning Consult poll, seven out of 10 Black parents support charter schools nationwide.

Unlike the traditional school model, New Orleans has abolished predetermined school enrollment based on where students live. Instead, parents can apply to a favored charter through an enrollment system called OneApp, an online platform that allows families to apply to as many as eight participating schools of their choice anywhere in the city.

The Cowen Institute at Tulane University, a public education research group, calls the school system the most “decentralized” in the country. Lewis calls it “the most unusual management structure of any school district in America.”

The ‘COVID slide’

While the 2019-2021 LEAP data showed declining student proficiency in New Orleans, the data also showed Louisiana’s K-12 public school system suffered learning reductions across the board regardless of charter or public school status.

“This decrease was felt across all grade levels, content areas and student subgroups,” a DOE statement said. “In each individual subject, the number of students scoring Mastery (proficiency) and above has decreased since 2019.”

The primary reason was COVID-19 and government decisions to close schools to in-person learning, State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley said, though Louisiana also suffered four separate declared natural disaster during the period, not including Hurricane Ida.

“In the face of immense adversity, students, teachers, administrators and parents showed unwavering resiliency, demonstrating a deep commitment to both safety and learning,” Brumley said, adding LEAP scores would be “invaluable” for recovering from the unprecedented interruption to student learning.

According to the Center for Research on Educational Outcomes at Stanford University, New Orleans and Louisiana student performance declines mirrored other states during the same timeframe, though none suffered comparable weather-related insecurities in addition to COVID-19.

“There’s no dispute that learning gains that have occurred since school buildings were closed have been negatively affected,” CREDO Director Margaret Raymond said, referring to what she called the nation’s “COVID slide.”

“The only question has been, how bad is it?” she said.

CREDO conducted a study of 19 states, including Louisiana, and found student performance was down dramatically in the first year of the pandemic.

“The results are not good,” Raymond said.

“The learning loss estimates were translated into lost days of learning, based on a typical 180-day school year,” the CREDO study said. “Across the 19 states, the average estimates of how much students lost in the Spring of 2020 ranged from 57 to 183 days of learning in Reading and from 136 to 232 days of learning in Math.”

CREDO found before the pandemic New Orleans charter schools either exhibited “similar growth in reading and stronger growth in math” compared with the rest of Louisiana, or they “outperformed the state average in both subjects,” depending on the charter classification.

Comparing prepandemic performance

While COVID-19 related government safety measures appear to have caused severe learning loss in Louisiana and other states, multiple prepandemic evaluations show gains, specifically in New Orleans, bolstering the school system’s charter reforms.

“In Reading, New Orleans students experienced stronger learning gains in 2014-15, 2015-16, and 2016-17 compared to the state average learning gains,” CREDO researchers determined. “In Math, New Orleans students posted greater learning gains in 2014-15, similar progress in 2015-16, and stronger growth in 2016-17 compared to the state average.”

Test scores and learning gains have been only one way to gauge results, however. Comparing per-pupil spending is another.

Corey A. DeAngelis, director of school choice at the Reason Foundation, and Patrick J. Wolf, professor of education policy at the University of Arkansas, have calculated student performance in relation to taxpayer funding. The result is that New Orleans charter schools accomplish more with less, they said.

In a February study, DeAngelis and Wolf found New Orleans charter schools produced an estimated 21 reading points on the National Assessment of Education Progress, or NAEP, for every $1,000 of funding by year end 2018, nearly tying with Denver for the second-highest rate of charter school cost-effectiveness across 18 major urban areas. Indianapolis charter schools were first.

“We found that public charter schools, on average, received about two-thirds of the per-student funding amount in traditional public schools in the same city,” DeAngelis and Wolf said.

In New Orleans, that meant $12,520 per charter school student as opposed to $18,694 per traditional public school student. The NEAP scores averaged 275 points versus 270 points, respectively.

“In New Orleans, the higher [return on investment] in charter schools projects out to nearly $470,000 more in lifetime earnings per student than the [return on investment] generated in district schools in our study.”

A third way to gauge the performance of the New Orleans system is to compare it with what came before city, state and national education reformers transformed the school district into a citywide school choice experiment.

According to NOLA Public Schools, the high school graduation rate has increased 20% from the pre-Katrina traditional public school year. ACT scores and college entry rates have also increased as nearly twice as many students are entering college than in 2004.

“The numbers speak for themselves: Our high school graduation rate is 73 percent, compared with 54 percent in 2004. And just 11 percent of our students attend the lowest-performing schools in the city, compared with 62 percent when the storm hit. We know our work is far from finished, but these numbers show that thousands more New Orleans students are thriving,” Lewis said.

Bollinger-built Coast Guard cutter commissioned

Mon, 10/18/2021 - 5:54pm

Representatives from Bollinger Shipyards LLC joined senior U.S. Coast Guard officials at USCG Sector Delaware Bay in Philadelphia for the commissioning of one of the newest Sentinel-class Fast Response Cutters, USCGC Emlen Tunnell. Named in honor of Coast Guard hero and NFL great Emlen Tunnell, the cutter is the fourth of six FRCs to be homeported in Manama, Bahrain, which will replace the aging 110’ Island Class Patrol Boats, built by Bollinger Shipyards 30 years ago, supporting the Patrol Forces Southwest Asia, the U.S. Coast Guard’s largest overseas presence outside the United States.

“As a former NFL player, this vessel means a lot to me as its namesake is a personal role model,” said Ben Bordelon, Bollinger president and CEO. “I’m also incredibly proud that Bollinger continues enhancing and supporting the Coast Guard’s operational presence and mission in the Arabian Gulf. Our unique experience and long history building for the Coast Guard is unparalleled and has shown time and time again that we can successfully deliver the highest quality vessels on a reliable, aggressive production schedule and cost, even in the most challenging circumstances.”

“Over 650 men and women are dedicated to building these vessels,” said Charles “Skip” Bowen, former Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard and current vice president of government relations at Bollinger, in his remarks during the ceremony. “Normally, I would say that the tenacity and resilience of these men and women are unmatched. However, I think Emlen Tunnell has them beat. It was the tenacity and resilience of this vessel’s namesake that led to his status as a legend both on the field and in service to our country.”

Present at the ceremony were Adm. Karl Schultz, commandant of the United States Coast Guard, who presided over the ceremony, as well as other senior Coast Guard officials, members of the Tunnel family and representatives from the National Football League and Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The U.S. Coast Guard took delivery of the 154-foot USCGC Emlen Tunnell in Key West, Florida in July of this year. The cutter is the 168th vessel Bollinger has delivered to the Coast Guard over a 35-year period and the 45th FRC delivered under the current program. Notably, the majority of the build occurred despite the COVID-19 global pandemic and six named storms impacting the Gulf region last year, all of which affected Louisiana and two of which made landfall in the state as hurricanes, including Hurricane Laura – a Category 4 storm tied with this year’s Hurricane Ida as the strongest to hit the state since the Great Storm of 1856. Despite these challenges, Bollinger undertook precautions to ensure the health and safety of employees and maintained its record of on-time deliveries to the Coast Guard.

Bowen continued: “The men and women who built this ship are artists in every sense of the word and it shows in the construction of this vessel. There is no other vessel in the world like this ship. And this amazing workforce brings it home with every delivery. So, whether off the coast of Miami, in the Middle East where this ship will operate, or in the far reaches of Alaska and the Pacific, Bollinger-built Fast Response Cutters are continuing a long tradition of exceeding all expectations in mission effectiveness, endurance and capability. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Coast Guard and supporting the brave men and women that serve in the defense and security of our Nation for many years to come.”

Earlier this year, Bollinger submitted its proposal to the United States Coast Guard to build Stage 2 of the Heritage-class Offshore Patrol Cutter program. If chosen, Bollinger would construct and deliver a total of 11 vessels to the U.S. Coast Guard over the next decade, helping to sustain the Bollinger workforce through 2031. Offshore Patrol Cutters will provide the majority of offshore presence for the Coast Guard’s cutter fleet, bridging the capabilities of the 418-foot national security cutters, which patrol the open ocean, and the Bollinger-built 154-foot FRCs, which serve closer to shore. The OPCs will conduct missions including law enforcement, drug and migrant interdiction, search and rescue, and other homeland security and defense operations.

The FRC is an operational “game changer,” according to senior Coast Guard officials. FRCs are consistently being deployed in support of the full range of missions within the United States Coast Guard and other branches of our armed services. FRCs have conducted operations as far as the Marshall Islands — a 4,400 nautical mile trip from their homeport. Measuring 154-feet, FRCs have a flank speed of 28 knots, state of the art C4ISR suite (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance), and stern launch and recovery ramp for a 26-
foot, over-the-horizon interceptor cutter boat.

Bollinger Shipyards (www.bollingershipyards.com) has a 75-year legacy as a leading designer and builder of high performance military patrol boats and salvage vessels, research vessels, ocean-going double hull barges, offshore oil field support vessels, tugboats, rigs, lift boats, inland waterways push boats, barges, and other steel and aluminum products from its new construction shipyards as part of the U. S. industrial base. Bollinger has 11 shipyards, all strategically located throughout Louisiana with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, Mississippi River and the Intracoastal Waterway. Bollinger is the largest vessel repair company in the Gulf of Mexico region
