More Navajo input needed at NRC, Holtec meetings

There were 37 speakers; 36 were opposed to the transport of high-level nuclear waste through our region by Holtec, International. When an Holtec Int’l. employee tried to speak during the Public Comment session, Attendee Susan Schuurman stood up and objected to this unacceptable breach; I stood up as well in solidarity with her.

Taurus’ influence remains vigilant and strong. Two themes will weigh supreme this week: grounded communication and common sense. Every good quality has a shadow.

When you look at something in a new way, very often a solution presents itself. Your way is merely one way of...

A Business Improvement District is a cooperative development project among property owners within a business district. Property owners agree to pay a fee that pays for local improvements. Improvements are designed to increase the appeal and safety of the neighborhood in an attempt to increase business vitality.
