A sad day for Chicago journalism and the #FirstAmendment. We need more bright light shining on the federal government than ever before.

Breaking: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is dropping plans for a proposed 25-foot high expansion of a toxic waste dump on Chicago's Southeast Side lakefront after years of litigation from community & @ELPCenter and following opposition from Illinois EPA: https://t.co/A7HBCos3jl

The Federal Railroad Administration is vital to keep the Midwest moving, and administer planning & construction projects currently underway across 48 states.

“By announcing he wants to get rid of the EV tax credit President Trump is creating instability in the market and putting a big question mark over the growth in EV manufacturing & purchasing," warns @HowardELPC in the @DailyHerald https://t.co/RaBz3mv9sP

We love our #NationalParks. @IndianaDunes is among the top 10 most visited parks in the country. @SenToddYoung, @SenatorBanks and @GovBraun time to step up and call for some common sense to protect the Dunes.

The future of Chicagoland's #transit is on the line.

Will we invest in cleaner, faster, better transit—or let cuts fuel gridlock & pollution?

ELPC’s Kevin Brubaker recently testified to @RTA_Chicago about the stakes ahead. https://t.co/FWfRvkh8BQ

"No president in an executive order can willy-nilly overturn congressional legislation,” said @HowardELPC, responding to the freeze on funds promised to Illinois and other states for #ElectricVehicles infrastructure, wind, and #SolarEnergy projects. https://t.co/4ltP1oqkgP

From school buses to trucks, @EPA is #ChargingUsForward w/ $735M for zero-emissions vehicles via the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program — training workers, expanding EV infrastructure & improving air quality for 72M people near trucking corridors. https://t.co/D6vZ4oFmjb

A nice thing about not being mayor anymore is I don't care who hears me tell this clown to STFU.

[Judith Nemes @JudithELPC]

Somehow I don't see this type of state law coming to Florida or Texas anytime soon. Sad ... but GO ILLINOIS!

[Howard Learner @HowardELPC]

More EV-ready charging at home is vital step to boost car sales in IL. A new state law mandates new homes be equipped with EV-capable parking. Will home chargers become an essential amenity for homebuyers? @ELPCenter https://t.co/cwnsRWIBN3 @elpcenter #electricvehicles

Awesome news! I wrote about GH 20 years ago in my old reporter days - wonderful to see how far they have come. What a worthwhile organization! A $25 Million Organic Farm And Job Training Campus Could Come To Englewood https://t.co/vwu73ouP6k via @BlockClubChi @growinghome

Listen up lawmakers: Just because cars have always ruled the road doesn't mean we can't adapt to the new reality that people are demanding alternative ways to move around Chicago. Let's be a forward-looking city! @ELPCenter @activetrans @ChicagosMayor @ChicagoDOT @IDOT_Illinois

[Streetsblog Chicago @streetsblogchi]

In "a Jane Jacobs moment," the Save Our Lakefront Rally drew a huge crowd to the IDOT/CDOT Redefine the Drive open house, demanding a walk/bike/transit-friendly layout, not an 8-lane highway, on Chicago's shoreline.

In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them.

No time to wait. #ActOnClimate
