3 The 2014 midterm elections have shifted the political balance in Washington. Despite a handful of unresolved races, Republicans are clearly set to control both chambers of Congress for the next two years. NACo has broken down the election results and provided the following analysis to prepare county officials for the lame duck period and beyond House Races: Republicans maintained control of the House. Going into election night, Republicans held 233 seats and Democrats held 199 (seats in New Jersey, North Carolina and Virginia were vacant). The 2014 midterms have yielded House Republicans their largest majority since the 1946 elections when they controlled 246 seats Senate Races: Republicans gained control of the Senate for the first time since 2006, picking up seats in Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia. Republicans will hold 54 seats in the Senate and the Democrats will have 44 seats plus two additional seats occupied by Independents who traditionally caucus with the party Gubernatorial Races: In addition to the congressional races, there were 36 gubernatorial elections held across the country. Democrats picked up one state Pennsylvania, while Republicans experienced major wins in blue states like Illinois, Massachusetts and Maryland. Republicans will hold offices in 31 states, Democrats will hold offices in 18 states and an Independent in 1 state. 114 th Congress: On January 3, 2015, the 114 th Congress will begin, ushering in a new crop of Senators and Representatives. There will be 13 new Senators and 61 new Representatives serving in the 114th Congress, which means nearly half of Congress will have been elected in November 2010 or later. While news pundits talk about gridlock in Washington, when it comes to issues affecting county government, nothing could be further from the truth. In 2015, Congress is expected to focus on the budget, tax and entitlement reform, and long-term funding for federal transportation programs. Congress will also be conducting important oversight over the Administration s broadband and Internet policies, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, including the Administration s Waters of the U.S. proposed rule.
4 Now that the elections are over, Congress has entered a lame duck period. For months, House and Senate leadership have described their plans for the lame duck as being dependent on the outcome of election night. Although Republicans won t officially take the helm of the Senate until January, their new power will come into play immediately during negotiations over the lame duck agenda. At a minimum, Congress is expected to tackle must pass legislation that addresses FY 2015 appropriations before the current continuing resolution (CR) (P.L. No ) runs out on December 11. Groundwork has already been laid for an omnibus appropriations package that would set funding levels through September 30, 2015, providing Congress a fresh start for the FY 2016 appropriations process next year. In addition to finalizing FY 2015 appropriations, Senate Democrats are likely to push through a number of executive and judicial branch nominations while they still have the majority. Another possible item that could see action during the lame duck period is a long-standing priority for NACo, the Marketplace Fairness Act (MFA), which grants state and local governments the ability to enforce existing sales tax laws on remote or online sales. MFA could be addressed during the lame duck session through S.2609, the Marketplace and Internet Tax Fairness Act (MITFA), which was introduced in mid-july by Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Richard Durbin (D-Ill.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.). MITFA is a measure that combines MFA with a temporary extension of the Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA), a law that currently prohibits state and local governments from taxing Internet access and is set to expire December 11, NACo prefers the temporary extension of ITFA rather than permanent extensions proposed in other bills (H.R. 2086; S. 1431). There are other possible items that Congress may choose to tackle but Republicans are expected to try and postpone major legislative endeavors until they re in charge. During the lame duck session, NACo will continue to press Congress for a one year extension of mandatory full funding for the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program for FY 2015 and for the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination Act (SRS) for FY House appropriators provided for a one year extension of PILT in their Interior and Environment Appropriations bill, whereas their Senate counterparts did not. The House has also passed a NACobacked forest health bill (H.R. 1526) which included an extension of SRS.
5 Shortly following the conclusion of the lame duck period, the 114 th session of Congress will begin. There are likely to be several differences between the current and incoming Congress. Most of the differences, not surprisingly, will be rooted in the Senate, where Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) hopes to restore regular order to the committee process, which includes the practice of passing 12 separate appropriations bills through both chambers and then reconciling their differences in conference something Congress has failed to do since Another reform suggested by the Minority Leader is allowing for a free and open amendment process and greater debate on the Senate floor, a departure from the direction taken by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). A Republican-led Senate also means that Senate Democrats will lose their committee chairs starting in January. Retirements and incumbent losses in the midterms will also shake up a number of committees that have jurisdiction over key legislative issues to counties, including transportation and tax policy. Regarding transportation policy, there are numerous changes on the horizon for the Senate committees that are responsible for reauthorizing the current federal surface transportation law Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 st Century Act (MAP-21) (P.L. No ). In the Senate, several committees have jurisdiction over the reauthorization process, and all of them will experience changes in leadership. One of the most significant changes will occur to the Environment and Public Works Committee, which will no longer be chaired by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D- Calif.). Instead, Sen. Boxer will likely serve as the ranking Democrat to Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.). Sens. Boxer and Inhofe worked closely together crafting MAP-21, which may bode well for the reauthorization process. In addition, the current chairs of the Senate s Banking Committee and Commerce Committee, which have jurisdiction over transit, freight and rail policy, Sens. Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) are both retiring at the end of the year, leaving questions about who will serve as the ranking Democrats alongside Sens. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) and John Thune (R-S.D.). In the House, several changes are going to come to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Although Rep. Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) will likely continue as chairman, the top Democrat on the committee Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.) lost his election. In addition, the chair of the committee s Highway and Transit Subcommittee Rep. Tom Petri (R-Wis.) is retiring
6 at the end of this year, leaving behind a strong legacy and a key vacancy on the committee. Unless Congress acts, MAP-21 will expire and the Highway Trust Fund which pays for the programs authorized by MAP-21 will become insolvent at the end of May Chairman Shuster has remained committed to passing a long-term bill through Congress but it s unclear how these departures will impact the process. Regarding tax policy, the House Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee will experience significant change in the 114 th Congress, with Ways and Means Chair Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.) retiring at the end of this year. The current Budget Committee Chair, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is considered a likely candidate to replace Chairman Camp and serve alongside the committee s current ranking Democrat, Rep. Sandy Levin (D- Mich.). The House Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee are expected to tackle a number of tax issues that are critical to counties, including the solvency of the Highway Trust Fund and comprehensive tax reform, which may address the tax exemption for municipal bond interest and the deduction for state and local taxes. In early 2014, Chairman Camp released a discussion draft to guide comprehensive tax reform, which included a provision that would place a surtax on tax-exempt municipal bond interest earned by investors and identified enough funding to keep the Highway Trust Fund solvent for eight years. It s unclear at this time how new committee leadership would tackle these issues. In addition to transportation and tax policy, Republican leaders have signaled that they want to reform America s entitlement programs as part of a larger goal of reducing the national debt and circumscribing the role of the federal government in the health care arena. Of the three large federal entitlement programs Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid counties have a unique interest in Medicaid. Counties provide direct services to low income individuals, including Medicaid beneficiaries, they finance Medicaid in many states, putting up local funds to draw down the federal match, and administer the Medicaid program on behalf of the states at the local level. The chairman of the House committee with jurisdiction over Medicaid, Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), and the presumptive chairman of the Senate committee, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), have both publicly indicated a willingness to overhaul how the Medicaid program works, specifically suggesting capping the amount of federal
7 funds available per beneficiaries in broad categories: children, blind and disabled, elderly and other adults. Any measure which would shift costs from the federal government to states and counties would be of concern to NACo. A new Republican majority will also look to block the Administration from moving forward with its regulatory Agenda next year. A key issue for counties continues to be the proposed rule on Waters of the U.S. which was released by the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on April 21, NACo has raised concerns over the scope of the proposal, including its potential impact on county owned and maintained public safety infrastructure and has called on the federal government to withdraw the proposal until further analysis has been completed. While the House passed a bill in September that would prevent the proposed rule from moving forward, the Senate has not considered such a measure and the White House has threatened a potential veto. Many of the legislative items expected to come up in the 114 th Congress lack Democratic support. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has hinted that Republicans may pursue a reconciliation strategy in order to push through some of their more controversial priorities. Reconciliation is a legislative process used by Congress primarily with budget bills that limits debate and allows for passage with a simple majority. There are several procedural restrictions that apply to reconciliation bills that may interfere with Republicans ability to utilize this option. While Republicans are eager to move forward with a robust agenda, it s important to note that there are a number of obstacles that may limit how much they can accomplish. First, while Republicans took the Senate in the midterms, their majority is not nearly large enough to bypass the Democrats (unless they use reconciliation). Second, the Republicans upper hand in the upper chamber will be further suppressed once the presidential primary season starts, with at least three of the Senate s Republicans (Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas)) expected to make a play for the White House. In addition, 34 Senate seats are up in 2016 and 24 of those are held by Republicans. Elections are notorious for inhibiting bipartisan compromise and limiting the legislative calendar, which will likely impact how much gets done between January 3, 2015 when the 114 th Congress is sworn in and Election Day November 8, 2016.
8 Transportation Reauthorization: NACo urges Congress to fix the Highway Trust Fund and pass a multi-year surface transportation bill that would provide funding certainty for counties. Marketplace Fairness Act: NACo supports legislative initiatives that permit the collection of existing sales and use taxes from remote sellers. Payment in Lieu of Taxes and Secure Rural Schools: NACo supports extending full mandatory funding for the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program as well as legislative efforts to reform and fund the expired Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program. Tax Reform: NACo supports the preservation of the federal deductibility of local property and income taxes and the taxexempt status of municipal bonds that provide critical funding for public facilities, infrastructure and development. Protecting the Federal-State-Local Partnership for Medicaid: NACo supports maintaining the federal-state-local structure for financing and delivering Medicaid services. Counties continue to be concerned about measures that would further shift federal and state Medicaid costs to counties including cuts, caps or block grants. Waters of the U.S. Proposed Rule: NACo has raised concerns over the scope proposed rule as released by EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers, including its potential impact on county owned and maintained public safety infrastructure and has called on the federal government to withdraw the proposal until further analysis has been completed. Immigration Reform: NACo supports comprehensive immigration reform that includes a modernized legal immigration system, establishes a temporary worker program, provides an earned path to citizenship and enhances border security.

14 Appropriations: an omnibus spending bill or another continuing resolution must be passed to avoid a government shutdown once the continuing resolution currently funding the federal government expires on December 11. Online sales tax: the Marketplace and Internet Tax Fairness Act (MITFA) (S. 2609) has been identified by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) as a post-election priority. Tax extenders: about 60 tax provisions, including some subsidies and credits, are set to expire at the end of Immigration: although congressional action on this divisive issue is unlikely, President Obama has stated his intention to take executive action on immigration.
15 In an Op-Ed published in the Wall Street Journal on November 5, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) and new Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) presented their priorities for the 114th Congress. The following is not an ordered list: Authorizing construction of the Keystone XL pipeline Restoring 40-hour definition of full-time employment Repealing the Affordable Care Act Simplifying the tax code Defeating global terrorist threats Reforming the education system Repealing "excessive regulations Addressing the national debt
