- The powell report, the focus of a major community forum sponsored by the Leadership Council in 2001 presented the concept of âOpportunity-Based Housing (OBH),â a model that suggested that âthe creation and preservation of affordable housing must be deliberately connected to high performing schools, sustaining employment, necessary transportation infrastructure, childcare, and institutions that facilitate civic and political activity.â (See figure 1.)

- This year Bank of America is receiving the âincome tax refund from hellâ â $666 million for 2010, according to its annual report filed in late February 2011. This is following a $3.5 billion refund reported in 2009. Bank of Americaâs federal income tax benefit this year is roughly two times the Obama administrationâs proposed cuts to the Community Development Block Grant program ($299 million). Six banks â Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley together paid income tax at an approximate rate of 11% of their pre-tax US earnings in 2009 and 2010. Had they paid at 35%, what they are legally mandated to pay, the federal government would have received an additional $13 billion in tax revenue. This would cover more than two years of salaries for the 132,000 teacher jobs lost since the economic crisis began in 2008. Wells Fargo reportedly received a $4 billion federal income tax refund on $18 billion in pre-tax income in 2009, and paid 7.5% of its pre-tax income of $19 billion in 2010 in federal taxes. Its net federal income tax benefit for 2009 and 2010 combined, $2.5 billion, is equal to the Obama administrationâs proposed cuts of 50% to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Banks use a variety of mechanisms to avoid corporate income taxes, including offshore tax shelters. 50% of the six banksâ 1871 foreign subsidiaries are incorporated in jurisdictions that have been identified as offshore tax havens, such as the Cayman Islands. Bank of America operates 371 tax-sheltered subsidiaries, more than any other big bank studied, and 204 subsidiaries in the Cayman Islands alone, according to its latest regulatory filings. 75% of Goldman Sachsâs foreign subsidiaries are incorporated in offshore tax havens. âą The banksâ private banking arms also protect the wealth of rich clients from taxation through offshore investment strategies. Bank of Americaâs wealth management arm encourages clients to register their yachts in foreign jurisdictions for tax reasons. âą Closing special tax loopholes on the financial sector and implementing sensible revenue-raising initiatives such as the Financial Speculation Tax could generate over $150 billion in federal tax revenue each year.

- http://www.planning.org/nationalcenters/health/pdf/HealthySustainableFoodSystemsPrinciples.pdf accessed March 11, 2011 Principles of a Healthy, Sustainable Food System In June 2010, The American Dietetic Association, American Nurses Association, American Planning Association, and American Public Health Association met to develop a set of shared food system principles. For the first time, national leaders in the nursing, nutrition, planning, and public health professions worked collaboratively to create a shared platform for systems-wide food policy change. Endorsed by coalition members, the principles were written to support socially, economically and ecologically sustainable food systems that promote health â the current and future health of individuals, communities and the natural environment. Collaboration among the coalition organizations will enable greater communication and coordination among the professions, from the local to national levels. The coalition plans to build upon the principles by continuing to advocate for improved food systems. Efforts are under way to coordinate with other health, nutrition, and planning related organizations and to connect the food system interest groups of each organization.
