How many times have you been invited to something and instantly thought “oh that sounds terrible - I don't want to do that”?  Come on.  Be honest.  Likely more often than you want to admit.  When I saw the three break-out groups of the SPEED Task Force, that's exactly what I thought…  But then it occurred to me that this service wasn't about me.  It was about the people who didn't have a voice or a seat at the table.  But I do.  That's when I knew I had to volunteer - against my inner voice - to serve on all three groups.  These are called PIGs, which is short for Permitted Interaction Groups, all in efforts to help simplify building permits in the State of Hawaii.  In today's episode, which is the second installment of a 3-part series, I screenshare what the PIGs are all about, what the Counties had to report about the building permit problems, and my 20 recommendations I put forward to help the awkward conversations.   Resource Links: Task Force Link SPEED Task Force Info Task Force Presentation from SHPD/Jessica Puff Preserving and Protecting Hawaii's Historic Identity through Architecture, Archaeology, and History and Culture Task Force Presentation from DOH/Jon N  2025_DOH_Wastewater_Branch.pdf Big Island Presentation  Hawaii County Building Permit Process.pdf Kauai Presentation  2025_Kauai_Permit_Process.pdf DPP link for Presentation  DBEDT Trends in Honolulu Building Permits 2005-2024.pdf Recommendation/SWOT 2025_STF_Recommendation_and_SWOT_Form.pdf Summary of my SWOTs - PDF attachment (View on Website Post) Hawaii Department of Health “Bedroom Guidance” - PDF Attachment (View on Website Post) Learn more about your ad choices.

Across parts of Appalachia, some people don't trust their water, or their water isn't safe to drink. So they turn to bottled water, even for cooking in some cases. But as a recent study points out, this is costing low-income families a lot of money, as Roxy Todd reports.

In this episode of the Conduit Street Podcast, our host Dominic Butchko is joined by Zach Schafer, Assistant Secretary at the Maryland Department of the Environment, for a wide-ranging conversation on the environmental issues shaping county decision-making ahead of the 2026 General Assembly session.Drawing on his experience at both the federal and state levels, including time at the U.S. EPA, Schafer discusses the growing focus on PFAS, what counties need to know about emerging drinking water standards, and why local governments often serve as passive recipients of contamination. The conversation also explores water infrastructure funding, producer responsibility, and the practical realities of implementing environmental policy closer to the ground.The discussion extends to climate change and resilience, including flood risk, stormwater management, housing development, and the importance of investing in prevention rather than recovery. Throughout the episode, Schafer emphasizes collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and the critical partnership between state and county governments in protecting public health and natural resources.Tune in for a thoughtful, practical discussion grounded in local government realities.Follow us on Socials!MACo on TwitterMACo on Facebook

In this episode, we cover some fun history by taking a look at the name origins for Florida's 67 counties. The names come from many sources including famous public figures, historic languages, prominent landmarks, and more. There are surprises here even for the seasoned Florida native so be sure to tune in and share it with your friends and family. Note:  We had multiple undiagnosed technical difficulties recording this episode.  After a second recording attempt of the second half that partially failed again, we salvaged one audio line to complete the episode.  With that said, please excuse the diminished audio quality of the second half as we had to settle for one mic recording both voices.    

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Danny Limny-Schmitt, author of the book 10 Little Rules for Understanding America. Danny works at NREL leading prize competitions for entrepreneurs and students in the American-Made Challenges program, while also serving as the Principal Investigator of the U.S. Utility Rate Database.   In his previous roles at NREL and work in graduate school, he led and supported urban science and sustainable transportation research. He seeks to integrate his skills in the geospatial sciences, research in urban environments, and entrepreneurial networks to build a career focused on sustainability in the energy and/or transportation sectors.   He has an enduring interest in better understanding the spatial dimensions of the current economic and sociopolitical challenges, and has traveled to all 3,144 counties in the United States in an attempt to better understand the country he calls home.   In my book review, I stated 10 Little Rules for Understanding America is an inspirational memoir you won't want to miss. Danny has visited every county in the United States (3,000+) including those found in Alaska and Hawaii! Why? He wanted to explore what made America tick. In the process, he learned a lot about how where a person lives affects what they believe about politics, social norms, religion, and more.   Do you have to see every county to get something from his rules? Absolutely not! His rules are perfect for anyone who wants to understand this great country we live in as well as the people who populate it. For instance, the rule Say Hello to Strangers can help any traveler understand just a bit more about those around them, and the rule to Take the Road Less Traveled can help you be more than a tourist.   I also loved how Danny recognized his own biases and continues to work hard to eliminate them. In today's world, his idea that there are good people on both sides of an argument is refreshing - and much needed. The best part is that he gives guided questions at the end of each chapter to help you develop your own rules for understanding America.   Don't miss this book!   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Danny Limny-Schmitt Linked In: @Daniel Zimny Schmitt FB: @danny.zimnyschmitt IG: @dannyz3142   Purchase 10 Little Rules for Understanding America on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/47a0BHc Ebook: https://amzn.to/42y0Ytv   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington counties recently launched a regional dashboard that tracks the health impacts of climate change in the metro area. It includes data on heat and cold events, air quality, infectious diseases and the effects climate change can have on mental health. The dashboard is an evolution of the counties’ Regional Climate and Health Monitoring Report, which was previously released every two years as a lengthy PDF.  Sarah Present is the Clackamas County Health Officer, and Kathleen Johnson is a senior program coordinator at Washington County Public Health. They join us to talk about the new dashboard and how climate change is impacting public health in the metro area.

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/   What if you took Morning Brew's approach to newsletter writing and applied it to local news? That was the original idea behind 6AM City, a company that launched its first newsletter in Greenville, South Carolina in 2016 and gradually expanded into over a dozen cities.   For most of its history, 6AM City's approach was to hire a handful of editors in each city and then gradually build up an audience and advertiser base. But in the last year, it developed a playbook for using AI to launch newsletters in smaller, less populated areas, with the goal of eventually hiring human editors once those newsletters reached certain thresholds.   In a recent interview, co-founder Ryan Heafy explained how these AI newsletters actually work, where they get their information, and what guardrails the company has put in place to ensure quality control.

A familiar name is entering Wisconsin's governor race. Wisconsin's public schools will be getting less money from the state than they anticipated for special education services. And in some communities, people who call non-emergency lines may be answered by AI rather than police dispatchers.

Send us a textAhead of the 2026 Election, North Carolina's Republican lawmakers — at the request of President Trump — have passed a new congressional map intended to squeeze out one more Republican seat in Congress. The new map will also make it more difficult for northeastern Black voters to elect their preferred candidate. In this episode, we break down what's happening and how it's playing out in the courts. We talk to Chistopher Cooper, a political science professor at Western Carolina University. Then, we hear from two of the plaintiffs on the lawsuit against state Republican lawmakers for the newest map: Bob Phillips from Common Cause and Dawn Daley-Mack of the Northampton County NAACP. This is the second part of a series on redistricting in eastern North Carolina. Listen to the first part here Support the showwww.shoresides.org

In episode 39, I explain the origins of Catalonia, the end of the Carolingian Empire, and the independence of the counties of the Spanish March. We explore figures such as Count Ramon of Ribagorza and Pallars, Sunyer II of Empúries, and Delà of Girona, and Wifred the Hairy himself, a much-mythologized figure. Here, I attempt to separate fact from fiction. I discuss the succession of Wifred the Hairy without the intervention of the Frankish king.

Northern Ireland is six counties. But the province of Ulster was – and is – made up of nine counties – all including Ulster Protestants. As partition loomed, Unionists chose six counties and demographic dominance over nine counties with a much smaller protestant majority. But what if Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan remained in the UK? Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Samuel Beckton, author of ‘The Unbroken Covenant: Could Ulster Unionists have controlled a nine-county Northern Ireland, 1920-1945'. Hosted on Acast.
