Two big #decisions from the WI Supreme Court today: https://lnkd.in/gKuHuS_R 1) the Legislature's Joint Committee on Finance has been using an #unconstitutional process to block stewardship funding for land conservation, and 2) voters can once again use drop boxes to cast absentee #ballots. What do you think about these rulings? Just like these Court decisions, the constitutional amendment questions on the Aug 13th ballot will affect conservation funding and separation of powers in Wisconsin. Are you ready to #vote?

This August, you may see Port of Everett Proposition No. 1 on your primary ballot, asking voters in the proposed enlargement area whether to enlarge Port boundaries to include most of Snohomish County.   While many large port districts in Washington state are county-wide — including all other ports in the state that operate international seaports — the Port of Everett is not. With nearly 830,000 residents and growing, only about 15% of the County has access to port tools and investments. This significantly restricts how the Port of Everett can help advance economic and community priorities across Snohomish County, one of the fastest growing counties in the state. Ballots expected to arrive around July 20. For more information and FAQs, visit https://lnkd.in/gsMTHfps.

people often want to frame the division n s in America as a rehash of North vs South. while this has some validity, the main division is urban vs rural. when taken in context with studies showing more acceptance of "the other", amongst other issues, in areas where interactions are more common, the breakdown becomes clear. isolation is a key factor. this is a very good read and shoukd impel to read the book. https://lnkd.in/dhWshk88
