House Bill 42 would require certain agencies, including school districts, to collect and report data concerning the citizenship or immigration status of persons with whom they come into contact. An amendment requires law enforcement agencies to collect and maintain citizenship status from “those detained” to “those arrested.” It is being heard in the House Government Oversight Committee – calls to our legislators are needed!

Despite political turmoil and a divided nation, we have so much to be thankful for. Join Bill Cohen as he sings a unique concert of songs that express gratitude for all that we have.  Playing piano and guitar, Bill will sing songs linked to a wide variety of folks --- John Denver, Bing Crosby, Phil Ochs, Louis Armstrong, and Don McLean.  Even Johnny Appleseed, Jiminy Cricket, and the TV show, “Golden Girls.” 

On several songs, Ann Fisher will add beautiful flute accompaniment, David Maywhoor will add percussion, and Joe Lambert and Joanne Blum will add soothing vocal harmonies. 

We’ll ask for $15 per person donations at the door, but all contributions, large and small, will be welcomed.  

All proceeds will be sent to the International Medical Alliance of Tennessee. 

The recent City Council tax dollars giveaway to the Fury Women’s Volleyball team is another ugly example of how decisions are produced inside the secret walls of City Hall.

Your gerrymandered City Council voted 5-4 to approve $500,000 to the for-profit professional sports team – all while the thousands of homeless are living in tents around the city. The most important priority is to support women’s sports and not their actual lives. This was a stupid and selfish decision by your City Council. 

What made it all the more sinister was how your gerrymandered City Council voted: 5-4. They want your reaction to be, “Wow! That was a close decision! It could have gone either way!”

Wrong. Dead wrong.

The 5-4 decision was an example of “political theater” designed to give us the appearance that decisions are not already made before each and every vote.

It’s cooked to recipe by people who are most concerned with their next campaign donation and photo opportunity.

the AEP Ohio just filed for a last-minute change at the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) that would drastically reduce or eliminate fair compensation for solar homeowners who send extra electricity back to the grid. That means lower credits, longer payback periods, and thousands of Ohio families losing the benefit of their rooftop solar investment.

Before you installed solar, you counted on stable net-metering rules that let you export extra solar at a fair value. But now AEP and others want to rewrite those rules behind our backs — just as the economy tightens and energy costs rise.

If you support rooftop solar, clean energy, fairness, and a strong, decentralized grid, please take two minutes and submit a comment to PUCO:
