EPA Rollback Could Bring Dirtier Air To Black Communities
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced a decision to delay or adjust stricter diesel emission standards, a move the agency projects will save the trucking industry billions.

San Francisco residents and hotel owners have initiated legal action against the city, alleging the Tenderloin district has been permitted to become a containment zone for rampant illegal drug use and other illicit activities.

Weekend Listen: WA Democrats are hopeful Yakima could go blue this year, Snohomish County looks to its residents for AI policy, and when school’s out, this King County program keeps kids fed for free

One of them is in farm country in central Washington. Next, artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and many local governments are trying to figure out how, or if, they should be using it.
