Morning Digest: Why did Maryland Democrats go soft on redistricting? Here''s who''s to blame
01:30pm, Monday, 13'th Dec 2021 DAILY KOS
The Daily Kos Elections Morning Digest is compiled by David Nir, Jeff Singer, Stephen Wolf, Daniel Donner, and Carolyn Fiddler, with additional contributions from David Jarman, Steve Singiser, James Lambert, David Beard, and Arjun Jaikumar. Leading Off MD Redistricting : Want to know why Maryland Democrats pulled their punches when it came to targeting the state''s lone Republican congressional seat? Slate''s Jim Newell has an excellent new piece detailing which politicians were obstacles to an 8-0 Democratic map, and why. At the top of the list are Rep. Jim Sarbanes and Kweisi Mfume. Sarbanes, as the lead sponsor of H.R. 1, the bill to ban congressional gerrymandering nationwide, was reportedly reluctant to support a maximalist map that would ensure Republican Rep. Andy Harris would lose re-election. Maryland''s new map, however, is still very much a Democratic gerrymanderhalf-hearted though it may beso it''s not as though Sarbanes can pitch himself as above the partisan fray, especially since he declined to criticize the map after it passed.
Rein in soaring building materials prices, govt urged
01:27pm, Monday, 13'th Dec 2021 The Sun Daily
PETALING JAYA: The building and construction industry has urged the government to intervene to manage the steep rise in building materials prices in the recent month, according to a joint statement by seven organisations and associations from the industry. In the statement, they highlighted that the rise in material prices has resulted in a 13-20% increase in cost of doing business. citing that prices of some items such as mild steel and sand have jumped up by 41% and 20% respectively, since October 2020. This situation has put companies already dwindling profit margins (if any), under pressure, they said. They observed a surge in raw material cost, shortage of foreign workers, rise in logistics cost, an upward trend in crude oil prices and a rising energy cost as the major factors contributing to this phenomenon. We are very worried that if these issues are not given urgent attention, the industry will suffer further and subsequently would adversely impact our sector and the country economic growth, said the joint statement by Master Builders Association Malaysia, Real Estate and Housing Developers Association Malaysia, Persatuan Kontraktor Melayu Malaysia, Persatuan Kontraktor Bumiputra Malaysia, Guild of Bumiputra Contractors Wibawa, the United Malaysia Contractors Association and Persatuan Kontraktor India Malaysia.
