As Vice President, Kamala Harris has been an integral part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to conservation. In 2023, the Administration enacted the most significant protection of the Boundary Waters in 40 years!  As current Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz recognizes that the Boundary Waters is a very special place and the crown jewel of the upper Midwest, and he can back that up with many of his very own trips to Canoe Country. Under Governor Walz’s administration relevant agencies have followed the processes and laws, advancing state-level protections for the Wilderness. Trump claims he will win Minnesota and thinks campaigning on this issue (opening the Boundary Waters region to copper mining) will help him, but he’s wrong. Minnesotans and Boundary Waters defenders all around the country understand what is at stake for Canoe Country and America’s wild places in 2024 and we are committing to work to elect Boundary Waters Champions at every level of government. Former President Donald Trump has, and would again, reject science, the law, and overwhelming public support to open the Boundary Waters headwaters to toxic mining to benefit a giant Chilean mining company owned by the richest family in Chile.  The alarming right-wing policy blueprint for a second Trump term - called “Project 2025”- specifically lists overturning the mining ban near the Boundary Waters.  The fate of America's most visited wilderness area is in our hands. The decisions we make in this election will determine whether we protect or endanger the Boundary Waters. We must work to elect Boundary Waters Champions at all levels of government. www.BoundaryWatersAction.org

Our community has the right to know how new projects will impact us and the right to live in a clean and peaceful environment. 

Please join me in getting the town of Union and the village of Endicott’s attention on these pressing issues. We can’t keep living this way!!

This would be a very effective change of course for this property.   * Funding: Sen Chuck Schumer was instrumental in securing over $3.4+million dollars for this facility's upgrade. A small part of this very public funding could be used/offset as thanks for this funding/generosity and the continued confidence in Central Hudson's use/management of what are very public waterways.  *Community Investments: Central Hudson, along with its parent company Fortis, have made very public their intentions for continued community investment projects. This could be one such project that is already within their ownership! They own the land, a large portion of it is already used for recreation purposes (for CH employees only currently), and as state above - very generous public funding has been made available - earmarked for this location. Local town/County partnerships could easily ensure this type of property's upkeep and maintenance - if not existing maintenance that is already in place.  *Safety: Over the years there have been some really close calls with some people fishing - walking along, parking along the highway there. Kids are fishing there all the time and love it! Its time to consider allowing for more accessible means of enjoying this waterway and addressing a known safety issue too!  * Not just for residents, but Central Hudson customers!:  These aren't strangers. The people who live in this are (currently over 180,000 Ulster County residents) are Central Hudson customers. 

Over the past several years we have all watched Global Warming become Climate Change, and now we find ourselves in a full Climate Crisis.  Sea levels are rising and destroying homes and property.  Tropical superstorms are ravaging the coastal states, including New England.  Expanded and prolonged forest fires sweep across the continent.  We must act in every possible way to reduce our Carbon Footprint, and to provide climate resiliancy.  And we must act N.O.W.!

Local governance is a time honored American tradition.  Local governments know what is needed and what is best for their communities.  HB 2127 is extreme government overreach and should be repealed.

This issue is important because having clean water to drink and bathe in is a basic human need. 

We must all do what we can to fight climate change and greenwashing. Let the Dodgers know they can play a big, positive role.

We believe that the Boyne River, a public trust resource, deserves better stewardship. The negligent handling of the dam has already caused significant harm to the river’s ecosystem and wildlife. Denying the permit application is a necessary step to protect and restore the health of the Boyne River. We call on FERC to take immediate action and deny Boyne Mountain Resort’s current permit application.

If you see Shamar (Shimmy) in the hallway and out and about in the Middletown area, and either he speaks to you or you speak to him does he put a smile on your face. Would you miss him in the hallways, or at the basketball game taking pictures, or going with the track team just to help out. I believe everyone knows Shamar AKA (Shimmy). Let’s make this go viral so he can finish out his last year of High School @ Middletown High School North, not Keansburg High School 

We, the undersigned, demand that the Trenton City Council take immediate action to address the housing crisis by: 1. Implementing rent control measures to stabilize rental prices and prevent excessive rent increase.  2. Increasing funding for affordable housing initiatives to create more accessible housing options for low-and moderate income families and individuals. 3. Establishing a renters' ordinance to ensure that tenants have clear protections and recourse mechanisms in case of unfair treatment by landlords. 4. Conducting a comprehensive study to assess the true scope of the affordability issue in Trenton. This study should include a survey to determine the percentage of residents who can or cannot afford current rental prices. We believe that everyone deserves access to safe, decent and affordable housing. We urge the City of Trenton Council  and State of NJ to prioritize the needs of the residents and take decisive action to address the housing crisis.

Citizens of Vallejo have a right to be safe from fires. Not all of our problems can be solved but this one can be. There is money available in Measure P so there is no excuse for not clearing dry brush.
