Ono acted weak in the face of the Trump Regime's threats while also going after Pro-Palestinian student protesters. And sadly, Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel went along with it by charging seven of those students. Although, she dropped all charges this week. Pat also covers how MAGA is echoing Dear Leader's "sacrifice" mantra even though that message was never pushed during the election. 20:02-38:06: ProPublica's Anna Clark Interview Anna Clark from ProPublica talks about her article on how Trump & Musk have been busy gutting the funding for the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab in Michigan. The Lab provides research and solutions for dangerous algae bloom in the lakes, invasive species entering the lakes, and continued clean drinking water. The Lab's work helps all of the coastal towns that reside, and rely on, the Great Lakes! This is part of the Trump Regime's anti-science movement that was all spelled-out in The Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025."  38:07-42:43: Last Call-Republicans Attack Farmers Pat's "Last Call" covers how the extreme MAGA Michigan Republican House majority passed a bill last week that would repeal a farmer's right to use their land for large wind and solar farms. What happened to the days of Republicans fighting for property rights? And why are they fighting to block farmers from making money while helping the state's move towards becoming carbon-neutral?

Here's episode 64 of Michigan's premier progressive podcast! It's great to have author and Pro-Publica reporter Anna Clark back on Left of Lansing this week. Anna's written an insightful article on Michigan's Emergency Manager Law, which allows state government to erase democracy by completely taking-over financially-strapped cities. Anna highlights how despite Michiganders voting to eliminate the law a decade ago, Republicans not only reinstated the law, but ensured voters could never have a say again. Emergency managers were used in Detroit's bankruptcy, and of course, in Flint which led to that city's man-made water crisis.  Please, read Anna's Pro-Publica article, and read her book on the Flint Water Crisis, titled "The Poisoned City: Flint's Water and the American Urban Tragedy." To learn more about Anna, and to get a copy of her fantastic book, please visit her site, annaclark.net. My opening monologue celebrates Governor Gretchen Whitmer signing bills that bans convicted domestic abusers from owning guns for eight years. It's another victory for Michigan progressives when it comes to gun safety in the state. And my "Last Call" deals with younger voters, and why they are souring some on President Joe Biden.

In this episode Matt Crawford speaks with author and journalist Anna Clark about her book, The Poisoned City: Flint's Water and the American Urban Tragedy. This is the infuriating story of how bad decisions and rampant indifference by city and state officials caused the residence of Flint to be poisoned by their own water. This is a masterful account of what went wrong, who caused it, why suffered from it and who exposed it. This book should be required reading.

  (https://www.theh2duo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Water-in-Real-Life-Cathy-Bailey-Podcast.png) Cathy Bailey is the Executive Director of the Greater Cincinnati Water Works Department (GCWW).  In over 200 years, Cathy is the first woman and first African American to lead Cincinnati’s major, independent, municipal water utility.  Cathy leads a team that ensures safe drinking water for a regional population of more than 1.1 million citizens; supervises a team of 600 full-time employees; and oversees a $110 million operating budget and a $450 million capital budget over the next five years. Cathy is a strong champion and key visionary behind Greater Cincinnati Water Works award-winning Lead Service Line Replacement Program.   Cathy has distinguished herself as a leader throughout her career, focusing on communications, strategic thinking, innovation, technical excellence, outreach, teamwork, and of course fun to solve problems and positively impact the community. Her community work and leadership roles were recently recognized when she was named one of the 2018 Greater Cincinnati YWCA’s Career Women of Achievement and as one of the Cincinnati Venue Magazine’s Women of Influence.   Show notes: Cathy talks to us about her water journey and her mindset of moving around the table versus climbing up the ladder. “It’s not always about moving up. Sometimes it’s really making the most of the space you’re in.” Being active and giving back to the community was instilled in Cathy at an early age. Hear how this drives her commitment to community in the water industry: “As much as we talk about the value of water, we don’t get out in the community and then BE that…..It shouldn’t be an agenda item, it should be how we function.” Many people are scared of involving the community at the very onset of a new initiative, but Cathy gives powerful anecdotal evidence of the trust and buy-in that doing so earns you. Our communities are diverse. We have to really KNOW our communities in order to best outreach to them. Who will resonate most with them? Learn how they use data from surveys, the billing system, and employees to really learn about their community so they can better serve them and meet them where they are. September 1992 is when Cathy decided she was never going to conform. Hear the story. How can women in water support one another better and not be threatened by other women “being in their space”? Recognize the piece of the puzzle you represent and how you can best connect with the other “pieces” around you. What does it mean to be F.I.E.R.C.E? Rising YPs….check this out!

In this episode of EDS at Union NOW, Dean Kelly Brown Douglas interviews Anna Clark, author of The Poisoned City: Flint’s Water and the American Urban Tragedy, who joined us on campus for a public event on Wednesday, January 30, 2019. The Poisoned City was selected as the EDS at Union Community Read for the spring 2019 semester. In her book, Clark methodically lays out how embedded racism, wealth gaps, a shift away from democracy at the local level, as well as the targeted neglect of the ties that bind – literally, our urban infrastructure – have resulted in Flint’s black and brown children being poisoned.  

For this episode of EDS at Union NOW, Dean Kelly Brown Douglas speaks with the Rev. Dan Scheid, Rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in downtown Flint, Michigan. They discuss the Flint water crisis, how the community has worked together, and the Episcopal Church's response.  The EDS at Union Spring Community Read is Anna Clark’s riveting book, The Poisoned City: Flint’s Water and the American Urban Tragedy. In this book, Flint is an example of a much broader story of American urban tragedy, and it is a story of poverty, race, and toxic environmental injustices that we all must learn as we seek to become effective community leaders. Anna Clark will be on campus to discuss this pivotal book on Wednesday, January 30th at 6:00 pm EST. Click here to RSVP attend, or sign up for access to the live stream.
