I am introducing legislation during the current short session to change North Carolina's marijuana possession law. The members of the General Assembly need to know that our states citizens support change. Between May 16 and June 15, let the legislators know how you feel.

A House bill introduced at the General Assembly on April 26 would allow the Providence Water Supply Board, which provides water to 60% of Rhode Islanders, to be sold or leased to a private or quasi-private entity. An identical Senate bill is due for a hearing on Tuesday, May 29 at 4:30 p.m. or later in Room 313 of the RI State House. Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza supports this legislation because he wants to raise money for the City of Providence's pension fund, which is currently funded at 26%. While the pension fund is a serious issue, water, a critical public resource and the foundation of our health and economic well-being, should not be used to correct decades of fiscal mismanagement by the City of Providence. Privatizing water, or using a public-private partnership to manage water, has been tried in the US and abroad and has led to corruption, environmental hazards, water rates that rise by 59 percent, poor service and damage to infrastructure. The public loses control over a resource we cannot live without, and cities have spent tens of millions to reclaim public control over the water utility.

Donald Trump stated that immigrants aren't human beings, that they are just animals. The worst crimes in history have come from this kind of dehumanization. Human beings are human beings. Never Again!

This is a copy of what Judge Susan Kennedy-Sullivan-2051 has done. Judge Susan Kennedy-Sullivan-2051 did not even have a file or service in the case, and she discharge us as guardians after 12 years due to the judicial misconduct I file on her. She should have recused herself. She thinks SHE IS GOD! https://mahdee-2yearinhellwithdcfs.blogspot.com.

Ever since presidential election controversies in Florida ('00) and Ohio ('04), there have been grave concerns about the integrity of proprietary voting systems from corporate vendors. The 2017 DEF CON security conference called them a “national security threat”. Open-Source Paper Ballot Voting Systems are more secure and transparent. And, after one county develops a system, the whole state could use it for free. That’s why Assemblymember David Chiu and Senator Scott Wiener, working with the California Clean Money Campaign, submitted a state budget request for $8 million in matching funds to help counties develop them. Assembly Budget Chair Phil Ting and Senate Budget Chair Holly Mitchell are key to this funding. Ask them to fund open-source voting now!

Decency and Respect are dying from lack of use.

We have a government filled with shady members unafraid to cheat and lie to get into office. Everyone needs to be accountable especially those chosen to represent others in government.

The indecency of joking about and demeaning a war hero and public servant cannot be allowed to stand without immediate objection and appropriate consequences. People employed in government positions represent the country and its citizens. If Ms. Sadler is not held accountable for her reprehensible statements, we will be on record as condoning this kind of indecent and immoral behavior. It must stop. NOW. Fire Kelly Sadler.

I know people who have given the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. This administration claims to support our current military and claims we haven't done enough for our Veterans. Here is an opportunity for them to PROVE it. Please sign. Thank you, Rose Ross

At a time when Mercer and Koch money will pour into this race, Former US Attorney for the Southern District, Preet Bharara is the most likely to win big. He is popular with all New Yorkers. He is Trump's worst nightmare. Bharara has a record of winning big cases. Bharara is a strong Dem who won't be pushed around by Washington and Albany.

These 3 legislators are trying to interfere with the Mueller investigation. This would be disastrous for the country and the people of the United States. Their actions arouse suspicion that they have joined with Donald Trump to defy the will of the People and deprive us of knowing what happened in the 2016 election. A lot of evidence of a wide variety of irregularities and probably crimes have been covered up by these three legislators. These acts threaten the very fabric of our democracy and the investigation must be allowed to proceed until every rock has been turned over to discover who has done what and how our system of governance has been degraded and bought.

On May 22nd the Truckee Town Council will decide the appeal for whether or not Grocery Outlet can build a new store across Donner Pass Road from Safeway. Our community has demonstrated repeatedly in the last year that sustainability is a primary concern. This project is a step backward for town sustainability. It is redundant given our current options of Safeway, Savemart, and New Moon, not to mention the approved Raley’s and Railyard grocery stores. Nearby residents are legitimately concerned that their once sleepy residential streets will be used as an alternate access route. Furthermore, the project jeopardizes access to an under-served part of town and congests an already crowded thoroughfare. New projects should make the Town of Truckee more livable, not less.
