An estimated 60,000 New Yorkers flooded the streets of lower Manhattan to protest climate change Friday, where the late September sun warmed the city to nearly 80 degrees. In New York, as in countless places around the world, people ditched school and work to take part in the Global Climate Strike to push for meaningful governmental action against climate change. New York’s public school students were excused from classes Friday to join the march from Foley Square to Battery Park.

  • Colorado lawmakers will drop plans to remake RTD’s board — for now — after facing blowback
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 04/17/2024 - 08:45 PM

    Colorado lawmakers are abandoning plans to overhaul the Regional Transportation District’s governing board and change how its members are selected after transit officials blasted the plan. Reps. William Lindstedt and Meg Froelich said Wednesday that they are still set to pursue other RTD reforms through House Bill 1447. But they said they plan to drop the bill’s most contentious provision: a plan to eventually cut the board’s size down from 15 elected, voting members to seven voting members — with five elected and two appointed by the governor. Froelich and Lindstedt told fellow legislators they wanted to further discuss board reform over the coming months. “We ultimately feel that those sections of the bill should come out, and we will want a longer process,” said Froelich, an Englewood Democrat.
