Taxpayer funding for national political conventions stripped #DNC16 #RNC16
Expect to see leaner conventions from now on…
Congress managed to do its job last week, passing legislation to boost research funding for pediatric disorders and presenting a bill to President Obama that the White House says he’ll sign. The nation should be dancing in the streets (Congress actually accomplished something and for sick children, no less!) but the national party committees are less-than-pleased about the cost.
The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act, which was championed by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, provides $126 million over 10 years to fund research into pediatric autism, cancer, and other diseases. But it’s paid for by taking away taxpayer funding for national political conventions.

Phoenix is hot… but we don’t have hurricanes #RNC16 #DNC16
Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton courted both Republicans and Democrats here this week in an effort to persuade leaders of one of the political parties to hold its national convention in Phoenix in 2016.
“Phoenix will be rolling out the red carpet for whichever party is wise enough to choose Phoenix for their convention,” Stanton said Friday.
Stanton, a Democrat, joined Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, a Republican, in making a pitch to members of the Republican National Committee at the group’s winter meeting here this week. Stanton and Smith were here for a separate meeting of the nonpartisan U.S. Conference of Mayors.

Columbus in 2016?
It’s never too early to talk about the next national convention locations. We just got a tweet from the Chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party, Chris Redfern, with this little nugget:
The City of Columbus expects to be a serious player in the competition for a political convention four years from now.
City leaders will begin exploring the possibilities in a meeting next month with representatives of both political parties.
Indianapolis and Newark looking at 2016 conventions
Never too early to start making noise about 2016. First Indianapolis:
Disappointment was evident when Indianapolis lost out in its effort to host the Republican National Convention in 2000.
As the city skyline will attest, a lot has changed in the last 11 years.

Dallas looking at bidding for 2016 conventions
And the next cycle begins:
After the Super Bowl, could a national political convention be in Arlington’s future?
The Arlington Convention & Visitors Bureau confirmed Tuesday that the Democratic National Committee briefly considered Arlington as a location for its 2012 convention. A DNC spokesman declined to comment.

Salt Lake already looking towards 2016
They haven’t even lost 2012 yet, but already Salt Lake is looking ahead:
“Sometime in the future I think there is a very good chance Utah will get it. Now, if we win the Presidency in 2012, then obviously going into 2016 whoever is President gets to make that selection, it’s not quite the same process. But if we don’t, then I think there is a very good chance that we could get it in 2016. But sometime it’ll come to Utah,” said [Utah Republican Party chairman Dave] Hansen.
