8 Page 8 NEWS AND VIEWS: REPUBLICAN PARTY CDL Program for Veterans Extended into 2015 Gov. Pat McCrory announced last week that North Carolina will be extending a truck driving program that helps military members find jobs. Paul Woolverton of the Fayetteville Observer wrote an article on this program with some additional information. This program, and others like it, are effective in helping our military more effectively find jobs as civilians. The extension of this CDL program is another mark towards North Carolina s commitment to our military. During the 2013 session I sponsored and worked to help pass a similarly-styled bill, HB 322/SB 280. This bill, which was passed into law, allowed veterans to use their military experience to obtain a commercial driver s license (CDL). More information on this program can be found here. This is what I wrote about it in my newsletter for June of 2013: Recently retired and discharged military members may soon be able to use their military experience to obtain a commercial driver s license. I recently presented House Bill 322, CDL Requirements/Military Experience, and it was subsequently passed by the Senate into the house for concurrence. I was the primary sponsor on the companion version of this bill, Senate Bill 280. The bill, if it becomes law, would waive the skills test requirement for individuals with experience driving commercial vehicles in the military. The bill also helps correct a problem faced by many veterans upon leaving the military: difficulty finding employment in the civilian world. Employers often have little understanding of their military experience or how it relates to their business goals. Obtaining a CDL by using skills gained in the military is a great way to give veterans the opportunity to easily move into a new career and adjust to civilian life. Members of the military worked very hard to obtain the knowledge and skills they have. It s important that we utilize these assets wisely, rather than requiring unnecessary training and testing. North Carolina, as America s most military-friendly state, needs to lead on these issues. Personally, I am proud to represent Cumberland County on this issue. Anything we can do to ease the transition for these brave men and women is a good thing for Cumberland County, North Carolina, and beyond.

9 Page 9 NEWS AND VIEWS: DEMOCRATIC PARTY Hagan Statement on National Minimum Wage Day Washington, DC - U.S. Senator Kay Hagan released the following statement in recognition of National Minimum Wage Day and renewed her call for Congress to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour. "Every North Carolinian who works full time, or works multiple jobs just to get by, should earn a wage they can live on and a wage that allows them to support their families. But that's not the reality for minimum wage earners in North Carolina, the majority of whom are women, who struggle each day to pay the bills and put food on the table and gas in the car. "Today, National Minimum Wage Day, is a gut check for our country. The federal minimum wage has remained unchanged for more than five years, losing its value as it fails to keep up with rising prices and inflation. Gradually increasing the wage to $10.10 an hour would benefit more than one million North Carolinians who would then put that money right back into our local economies - at the grocery store, the hardware store and the auto repair shop. Raising the minimum wage is more than just commonsense, it's part of our commitment to ensure everyone in North Carolina has the opportunity to grow both strong and great, and I won't stop fighting until hardworking North Carolinians are earning the wage they deserve. In North Carolina, raising the minimum wage would: Increase wages for 1.1 million workers by an average of nearly $1600 per year - money that would go right back into our state's economy. Lift nearly 220,000 North Carolinians out of poverty. Help boost incomes for over 30,000 veterans living in North Carolina and 582,000 nationwide. Provide a raise for 600,000 women in North Carolina. Women account for 2 out of every 3 workers earning the minimum wage, and raising it would help to close the gender wage gap. Contact Senator Kay Hagan Mailing Address: 310 New Bern Avenue Raleigh, NC Phone Fax Hagan Statement on Response to the Ebola Crisis Greensboro, NC - U.S. Senator Kay Hagan issued the following statement about the ongoing Ebola crisis: "I have said for weeks that travel restrictions should be one part of a broad strategy to prevent Ebola from spreading in the U.S. and fighting it in Africa. I am calling on the Administration to temporarily ban the travel of non-u.s. citizens from the affected countries in West Africa. Although stopping the spread of this virus overseas will require a large, coordinated effort with the international community, a temporary travel ban is a prudent step the President can take to protect the American people, and I believe he should do so immediately."

10 Page 10 NAA NEWS Where and Why Are Apartment Rents Rising Steadily? Digested From "Apartment Rents Are Rising Steadily and Quickly" Wall Street Journal (10/02/14) Whelan, Robbie Reis Inc. reports that the pace of rent growth for U.S. apartments is accelerating despite an uptick in construction of new rental units. This comes as the economy steadily improves and vacancies remain stubbornly low. Rental rates rose 1 percent from July through September to an average of $1,111 a month nationwide -- a 3.3 percent increase from the third quarter of Apartment rents, which have now risen nationally for 23 quarters in a row, are 15.2 percent higher than they were at the official end of the recession in The figures suggest the five-year squeeze on renters shows little sign of easing, states Reis economist Ryan Severino. He forecasts that the pace of rent growth will continue to quicken for at least the next year to 18 months before moderating during the next few years, with a stubbornly low level of apartment vacancies being the biggest driver. In total, developers added 46,055 new rental units to the nation's apartment supply in the three-month period ended Sept a 23.1 percent increase over the rate of construction a year earlier. Only 4.2 percent of apartments were vacant in the third quarter, down from 4.3 percent year over year. Reis research further shows that apartment costs are growing fastest on the West Coast, where rapid growth in the technology industry is fueling an uptick in demand throughout such markets as the Bay Area, Silicon Valley, and the Pacific Northwest. Going city by city, monthly rents in San Francisco grew fastest at a rate of 6.4 percent over the past year followed by San Jose (up 5.9 percent) and Seattle (up 5.7 percent). Annual rents also climbed in a number of cities in the South and Great Plains, most notably Nashville (4.9 percent), Charleston (4.7 percent), and Denver (also 4.7 percent). "We're not seeing people move out of our apartments to buy single-family homes at the rate they have in the past," concludes Equity Residential CEO David Neithercut. "We're seeing a very, very strong demographic picture of the Millennial generation and lots of demand for rentals in center cities." See more at: More Households Doubling Up as Rents Rise Digested From "More American Households Doubling Up as Rents Rise" RISMedia (10/13/14) Salama, Camille A new report from Zillow shows that rents continue to outpace incomes, forcing more Americans to live together to share expenses. The analysis shows a jump in the percentage of adults living in doubled-up households without being married or partners to 32 percent as of 2012 from 25.4 percent in 2000 and 30.8 percent in The metro areas with the highest percentages of adults with roommates are Los Angeles (47.9 percent), Miami (44.5 percent), New York (42.5 percent), and San Diego (39.7 percent). The rise in doubled-up households can be attributed to the fact that Americans earning the national median income of $53,216 expect rent to account for an all-time high of nearly 30 percent of their monthly incomes. Many would rather live with roommates than downsize or move to a cheaper area.

Omaha World-Herald (10/04/14) Gaarder, Nancy Apartment communities have emerged as the new trouble spot for bedbugs because the pests are harder to control in such settings as compared to hotels and individual homes. Multifamily housing generally has a good deal of clutter, which means more places for bugs to hide. Furthermore, individual residents do not have full control over their building. Another factor is apartment owners who may not be willing to treat buildings multiple times to effectively eradicate the bedbug menace. Still, bedbugs have been known to worm their way into all sorts of commercial settings, even offices. Ron Harrison, director of technical services for Orkin, notes that the pest has become established enough in the United States that it has made the move from hotels into homes, taking it a step closer to the places where people work. Alan Schrier, owner of ARS Pest Management of Omaha, assures that the occasional calls that he gets from corporate offices typically concern one or two bedbugs that have ridden into the office in a purse, briefcase, or clothing. Harrison said bedbugs have a harder time establishing a population in a corporate setting than in a residential one, because bedbugs thrive in cool, quiet, dark environments and prefer to feed at night. Cubicles and office schedules do not provide such an environment. See more at:
