Keystone Letter To Kerry From Associations 7/8/14artba
The letter requests that the State Department immediately complete the approval process for the Keystone XL Pipeline and grant final approval. It cites the project's economic benefits, including over 42,000 jobs and $3.4 billion in additional GDP, and that over 70% of Americans support the project. It argues that the Nebraska court case is not a valid reason for further delay and that politics should not trump the positive energy and economic impacts that have been identified over nearly six years of reviews. The letter requests a meeting to further discuss approval of this important energy infrastructure project.

The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) files a formal complaint regarding a highway project in Kings Beach, California. LULAC argues that reducing highway lanes from four to two will significantly increase traffic and divert it through low-income Hispanic neighborhoods, negatively impacting the community. LULAC believes the project's environmental review was inadequate and did not properly address community concerns, environmental justice, or civil rights issues. LULAC requests that the Federal Highway Administration review the status of the project to ensure it complies with regulatory requirements.
LULAC Civil Rights Complaints at TahoeJerry Dinzes
North Lake Tahoe LULAC worked with the California LULAC board on a series of complaints that helped to keep the Kings Beach area safe from traffic hazards and environmental degradation. These complaints pertain to two major infrastructure projects: 1) A wood burning biomass plant that Placer County voted to build in Kings Beach. The power plant was in close proximity to residential homes and an elementary school. The plant impeded on the beautiful viewshed of the Tahoe Basin. After a contentious battle, Placer County agreed to build the biomass plant outside of the Tahoe Basin, at a landfill site. 2) The Kings Beach Commercial Core Improvement Project will divert significant traffic through residential neighborhoods in the years to come. LULAC fought to stop residential cut through traffic. After a contentious battle, Placer County agreed to commit nearly $2 million to a neighborhood traffic management plan. This money was invested in speed humps and sidewalk development.
Complaints filed by North Tahoe LULAC were written and submitted by Jerry Dinzes, (BTW: These complaints were written prior to any formal university education. Just saying, I've come a long way.) Complaints submitted by Cal LULAC were originally drafted by Jerry Dinzes and Dave McClure. Cal LULAC's executive board made final revisions and submitted.

The Orange County Animal Shelter: The Facility, The Function, The FutureNo Kill Shelter Alliance
This document is a report from the 2014-2015 Orange County Grand Jury regarding the Orange County Animal Shelter. The Grand Jury found that the 74-year-old shelter facility is rundown, overcrowded, and unable to properly care for animals. For over 20 years, the County Board of Supervisors has recognized the need for a new shelter but has failed to take substantive action. The County has focused solely on one potential site for a new shelter despite long-lasting environmental issues, while neglecting to explore other options or develop preliminary plans. The Grand Jury concluded that lack of leadership and prioritization of other issues by the County are responsible for the failure to address the need for a new shelter.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Dear Gentlemen,
We respectfully request your support of the attached inquiry by the Harnett County Board of Commissioners for funding from the
Legislative Contingency Fund. TheSe funds will be used to complete construction of Crested lris Drive on the Brightwater Science and
Technology Campus at the site for the new central hospital for Harnett Health Systems. At the cunent time, there is only one access to
the hospital site which may become congested or blocked. The completion of Crested lris Drive would allow for a dedicated

care patients.
The amount of the request is $200,000.00 and the project has the support of the DOT Regional Engineer for Harnett County. There
are no other known funding sources available. Attached to this request, is a resolution from the Harnett Oounty Board of

Re: Brightwater Science and Technology Campus
Crested lris Drive
Dear Tim,
As you know, construction of the Harnett Health System CentralCampus facility is well
underway on the Brightwater Campus. Structuralsteel installation will soon be complete
and we ant,cipate project completion on schedule in Novembe r,2O!2. We understand
that bids have been received for Brightwater Campus infrastructure and there are not
sufficient funds for the completion of Crested lris Drive. We are also aware of your
efforts to secure additional funding.
Completion of Crested lris Drive from the intersection with Matthews Road to the
hospital is critical to our daily operation. lt will serve as access for ambulance traffic, our
staff and physicians and all service and delivery traffic to and from the hospital. Crested
lris will relieve Brightwater Drive and its intersection with US 401, the only other access
point to the Brightwater campus, from this daily volume of traffic. Having onty one
access point to the campus and hospital could delay access and egress for emergency
vehicles and create potentially dangerous traffic congestion at the entrance to the
Brighwater Campus.
Brightwater Campus development will intensify once the hospital opens and Crested lris
will also provide an access and egress point for construction traffic, relieving the
Brightwater and US 40l intersection of this congestion.
Thanks again for your continued efforts to pursue funds for this critical need.
