Wuhan, China...Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on the Chinese regime to immediately release Zhang Zhan, a lawyer-turned-journalist who was recently sentenced to a four-year prison term for reporting on the Covid-19 outbreak. After a mere three-hour trial, lawyer-turned-journalist Zhang Zhan, 37, was sentenced on 28th December to four years in prison by a Shanghai court on the charge of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” for reporting live from the city of Wuhan during the Covid-19 outbreak in February. Zhang Zhan was arrested in May and has since been protesting by going on a hunger strike for which she has been force-fed through a nasal tube.

Local Elected Officials Not Responding to Covid Regulation Enforcement Concerns ~ Jason Wright |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 12/31/2020 02:35 PM
|
Murphys, CA...I am a local business owner in the county. Three weeks ago, I emailed each of our County Supervisors through their official channel, the Clerk-Recorder-Elections-Office, asking them about their stance on Covid regulation enforcement, expressing my concerns with the direction our county is going in regards to spread of Covid and the lack of ICU beds in our region. I wrote a brief, non-angry, considered email and asked specifically what their response is to my concerns. A week later, when I had not heard from any of them except Merita Callaway, I wrote a follow up email asking for a response. Now, after two more weeks, still no response from any of them other than Merita Callaway and finally Jack Garamendi.

The California Water Commission is conducting a series of public workshops as part of its efforts to assess a potential state role in financing conveyance projects that could help meet needs in a changing climate.

Participants from the region are encouraged to share their perspective on conveyance infrastructure needs and priorities, effective partnerships, public benefits of conveyance, possible criteria to assess resilience, efforts in preparing for changing hydrology, and effective financing mechanisms. The workshops are not associated with the pending proposal to improve conveyance through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
