Check Mate
I don’t have much use for social media. Deleted my accounts years ago. But I’d like to see what TikTok can do with an Environmental Impact Report.
Despite their reputation as weapons exploited by self-interested neighbors and extortionist labor unions—all true—environmental reports dispense useful information. I’ve read dozens. Learned something every time.
Trouble is they are tough to read—ponderous, repetitive, silted. No narrative energy. No character development. Just facts presented in proscribed formats. Boxes checked, dry as cotton.
Which is why I waited three months to tackle the city’s new environmental report on the Sacramento River Parkway Project, otherwise known as the levee bike path.
Battle Lines
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s initiative to redistrict in California before the next census sets a dangerous precedent. His goal is flagrant gerrymandering.
California Republicans object to Newsom’s move, saying it violates the State Constitution. They have a point.
But you don’t hear them complain about the Texas Legislature’s efforts to give Republicans a five-seat boost in upcoming congressional races.
