By: Jack Tarpey The city of Raleigh and the state legislature appear to have reached an initial compromise on the future of the Dorothea Dix campus property. The ongoing battle between the city and state focuses on the deal that was signed by former Governor Beverly Perdue, which leased the 325-acre property to the City of Raleigh for development into a ‘destination park.’
By: Jack Tarpey - The most recent installment of Ira Glass’ “This American Life” highlights a concerning trend with regards to public opinion and the politics of climate change. It is no mystery that there exists a significant portion of the population that holds climate change to be a “myth,” or “inaccurate science,” or even in some cases a “liberal conspiracy.” This week’s episode however, focuses on an even more disturbing phenomenon related to the action (or inaction, as it appears to be) that is taken on climate change.
By Stephen T. Smith - It is fantasy thinking to pretend that Jordan Lake will somehow clean itself up if the General Assembly repeals upstream pollution controls as proposed in Senate Bill 515, which the N.C. Senate passed last week. Jordan Lake provides drinking water to the growing cities of Cary, Apex and Morrisville, as well as to Western Wake and Chatham counties. In addition to serving as a crucial water supply, Jordan Lake is a major North Carolina asset for fish and wildlife conservation and for a wide range of recreation activities easily accessible to several million North Carolina citizens, taxpayers and voters.
