A national report shows that mayors across the U.S. are prioritizing economic development, housing and infrastructure. Athens mayor Steve Patterson says that mirrors the local picture in Ohio.
A prisão domiciliar do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL), determinada pelo ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), mexeu com as estratégias dos principais atores políticos em Goiás. De um lado, o governador Ronaldo Caiado (UB), que alimenta ambições presidenciais, intensificou as críticas ao STF. O vice-governador Daniel Vilela, por sua vez, adotou um tom moderado. Já o senador Wilder Morais (PL) foi quem partiu para o ataque mais pesado. Essas movimentações são analisadas por Caio Henrique Salgado, editor da coluna Giro; Júlio Lacerda, subeditor de Notícias do POPULAR; e o repórter Rubens Salomão neste episódio do Giro 360, podcast de política do jornal em parceria com a rádio CBN Goiânia. No segundo bloco, os jornalistas discutem a crescente pressão da Câmara Municipal sobre o prefeito Sandro Mabel (UB). Para acompanhar, é só dar o play.
Há um mês que é possível nadar nas águas do Sena dentro de zonas delimitadas. Um "sonho" para muitos parisienses que vem com algumas reticências em relação à qualidade da água. A RFI foi a um dos pontos em que os benhos são autorizados e falou com turistas e parisienses sobre esta experiência. Há um mês que os parisienses podem oficialmente mergulhar no rio Sena. Para isso, foram criadas zonas específicas para que os banhistas possam mergulhar em segurança no Sena. Uma junto à Biblioteca Nacional François Mitterrand, outra perto da Câmara Municipal de Paris e uma outra junto à Torre Eiffel. A RFI veio até junto da Torre Eiffel para perceber como é mergulhar no rio Sena. Desde logo, antes de vir, é indicado aos banhistas que verifiquem se a zona aprovada para nadar está aberta ou não. A cidade de Paris tem um site onde actualiza todos os dias se é ou não possível tomar banho tendo em conta as condições meteorológicas. Caso seja possível nadar, como no dia em que viemos até ao rio, o acolhimento é caloroso em francês e inglês, já que muitos turistas estão a aproveitar as visitas estivais à cidade para dar um mergulho num dos rios mais famosos do Mundo como Ivan e Diana que vieram da Rússia para passar uma semana na capital francesa. "É um pouco inesperado poder tomar banho no Sena, mas a vista é incrível. Eu e a minha namorada não hesitámos em vir, mas claro que tentámos não engolir água do rio, temos um bocadinho de medo devido à poluição. Conhecemos a possibilidade de nadar no rio através das redes sociais e incluímos o mergulho no nosso itenerário de viagem", explicou Ivan. À porta destas três zonas estão sempre os avisos importantes: há correntes fortes no rio e há plantas que podem impedir os banhistas de voltar à superfície em caso de mergulhos demasiado profundos. Tal como numa praia normal, também há bandeiras verde, amarela e vermelha e estas zonas são vigiadas para segurança dos banhistas. Para além disso, quem vai à água é obrigado a andar com uma bóia amarela dentro da zona restrita do rio destinada aos banhistas. Algo que agradou e muito a Danielle, uma parisiense que apreciou tudo nesta estreia nas águas do Sena. "Hoje foi a primeira vez que vim a banhos e foi uma optima experiência. A água estava a 23 graus e eu adorei. Há alguma corrente, mas a bóia ajuda muito a nadar e eu gosto de qualquer adereço que me ajude a fazer o menos de esforço possível na água e achei divertido estar no rio com aqiela bóia amarela. Eu e o meu marido acabámos por ficar muito tempo na água, talvez 45 minutos. Claro que é preciso ser mesmo assim um bom nadador, sei que há outros sítios no rio mais adaptados às crianças, mas há muita vigilância e isso deu-me muita confiança", detalhou Danielle. Actualmente e após mais de 1,2 mil milhões de euros de investimento municipais, a água do rio Sena permite ir a banhos. No entanto, em caso de chuvas fortes, algo recorrente mesmo durante os meses de Verão a Paris, a água é constantemente analisada já que as chuvas podem trazer à surperfície águas contaminadas com a e.coli, uma bactéria que pode causar graves infecções no trato digestivo, urinário ou outras partes do corpo. Desde o dia 05 de Julho, altura em que foi permitido nadar no Sena, os banhos foram proibidos em 18 dias devido ao resultado das análises. No entanto, Anatole, um jovem ucraniano que vive em Paris, não se deixou intimidar e diz que já veio nadar junto da Torre Eiffel pelo menos seis vezes em dias diferentes. “Eu trabalho em casa então posso vir algumas vezes, já vim cinco ou seis vezes e correu tudo bem. Posso dizer a todos para vir pelo menos uma vez, vale a pena. Eu não tenho medo de tomar banho aqui. Sabe, eu venho da Ucrânia, portanto não tenho medo de bactérias. Conheço pessoas que trabalham na Câmara Municipal de Paris e eles explicaram-me que tudo foi bem preparado. Veremos se alguém fica doente, mas acho que, em geral, é algo positivo para a cidade”, declarou Anatole. Mesmo se havia apreensões devido a possíveis consequências negativas, Olivier, que vive no Val de Loire e veio até à capital para visitar o filho que estuda em Paris, arriscou e diz não se arrepender de ter nadado no Sena. "Era o momento perfeito para vir e contando com os Jogos Olímpico é a segunda vez que há pessoas a mergulhar. Estamos num quadro privilegiado porque até temos vista para a Torre Eiffel. E estamos em pleno mês de Agosto. Nadar no Sena foi agradável, a temperatura da água estava muito boa. Eu estava um pouco ceptico, pensava que a água não estava limpa, mas cinceramente está razoável, correu tudo muito bem. E, ainda por cima, é gratuito", descreveu Olivier. Até agora já 35 mil pessoas nadaram no rio que banha Paris, com o dia 13 de Julho, quando as temperaturas ultrapassaram os 30 graus, a ter registado mais de 5.000 banhistas. Devido à poluição e ao aquecimento global, e sendo uma das cidades mais densas do Mundo, as temperaturas em Paris têm vindo a subir com episódios cada vez mais frequentes de canícula que podem fazer com que os termómetros cheguem aos 40 graus. Assim, para Danielle e milhares de parisienses, após anos de promessas poder nadar no Sena é um sonho. "Para mim, poder nadar no rio Sena é um sonho concretizado. Desde que Jacques Chirac foi autarca que nos prometiam isto e acho que uma parte dos parisienses está muito feliz com esta possibilidade", concluiu Danielle.

This episode traces North Adams, a Hillsdale County village that grew up along the rails and wired itself for the future. We open with the town's most retold story—blacksmith Henry Taylor, a former slave who became a respected tradesman and was said to carry his anvil and once walk off with a potbelly stove. From there, we move down Main Street to Maccabee Hall, Barden's Hotel, and C. J. Knapp's store, then over to the 1912 Municipal Lighting Plant that brought electric light to homes and storefronts.We also cover a tough year: April 23, 1927, when sparks from a chimney ruined the village school. Classes shifted to Town Hall, the Odd Fellows hall, and the Congregational Church while a new building was planned. A 1927 newspaper snapshot rounds out daily life—about 500 residents, three churches, a 12-grade school on the University of Michigan list, a library of 900 books, and a full block of shops and services.

El nou contracte de neteja que es preveu portar a ple per aprovació entre setembre i octubre assegura que ha de garantir un Sitges més net, de fet el pressupost s'augmenta considerablement i passarà dels 7milions d 'euros de l'actual als 12M€. Més enllà de la neteja l'alcaldessa espera que en aquests dos anys que queden de mandat es pugui fer efectiu la construcció del nou CAP per part de la Generalitat, la nova estació d'autobusos i confia que abans de dos anys s'obrin les llistes d'accés a algun dels HPO previstos. El que segur sí veurà l'alcaldessa i la resta de Sitges és la nova escola municipal de música de la qual ja han començat les obres al costat de l'espai jove. Aurora Carbonell confia també que finalment no es tiri endavant la sentència que obliga a l'enderroc del Club de Mar i que costes cedeixi la cessió al municipi. Mentrestant res d'això passa Sitges viu, de moment, un estiu amb sorra a les platges però amb els deures de trobar de quina manera preveure possibles noves afectacions de manca de sorra que podrien passar per una opció de dunes, en aquest àmbit Aurora Carbonell ha anunciat també que el 2025 les platges de Sitges, com les de la resta de la província de Barcelona, passaran a ser lliures de fum. Pel que fa a la relació amb l'oposició lamenta la tensió dels darrers mesos i assegura que no acaba d'entendre quin suport va retirar Guanyem al govern.

Are electric vehicles, or EVs, right for your municipal fleet? They've surged in everyday popularity over the past 20 years and now are available from most of the mainstream automakers. Increasingly, governments and agencies are bringing on EVs, and peers are researching the merits.

As a dictatorship consolidates in Turkey, aspiring strongman Recep Tayip Erdogan is launching a special attack on municipalities, arresting the mayor of Istanbul and removing elected governments in hundreds of cities and towns across the country—mostly in the restive Kurdish east. In the United States, aspiring strongman Donald Trump is now threatening to similarly remove Zohran Mamdani if he becomes mayor of New York, and order a federal take-over of the city government. Border czar Tom Homan says he will "flood the zone" with ICE agents in "sanctuary cities" such as New York and Los Angeles. In Episode 287 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg argues that Trump forcing the issue could accelerate the breaking point in which localities coast-to-coast assert their autonomous powers in repudiation of the fascist-coopted federal leviathan—vindicating Murray Bookchin's theories of radical municipalism.

Interview with Nolas Paterson, CEO of Atlas Salt Inc.Recording date: 8th July 2025Atlas Salt (TSXV: SALT) presents a compelling value proposition for investors seeking exposure to North America's critical infrastructure mineral supply deficit through a strategically positioned, environmentally sustainable industrial mineral project. Under new CEO Nolan Peterson's leadership, the company is advancing the Great Atlantic Salt project in Newfoundland to address the continent's persistent 10-12 million ton annual deicing salt import dependency.The investment opportunity centers on Atlas Salt's unique positioning to capture market share in a $1.5-2.5 billion annual market characterized by exceptional stability and predictable demand growth. Unlike volatile commodity markets, deicing salt demonstrates consistent 2% annual price appreciation tracking inflation, with periodic 4-5% increases during severe winters that establish new pricing floors. Municipal customers cannot defer winter road maintenance, creating recession-resistant demand that positions salt as an essential infrastructure commodity rather than a cyclical material.The Great Atlantic Salt project's competitive advantages stem from superior geological and geographical positioning. The shallow 200-meter deposit depth enables cost-effective drift mining with conveyor systems, contrasting sharply with competing projects requiring expensive shaft mining at 500-600 meter depths. This fundamental advantage positions Atlas Salt at the lower end of the cost curve while foreign competitors face 3-4x longer shipping timeframes and associated logistics costs that erode their competitive positioning.Project economics demonstrate infrastructure-grade investment characteristics with 34+ years of production generating over $100 million annual free cash flow after tax. The 18.5% after-tax IRR and sub-five-year payback period reflect conservative modeling using bulk deicing salt pricing, providing upside potential through higher-margin retail applications and production optimization initiatives. When contextualized against gold equivalent metrics, the resource represents a 25-35 million ounce deposit, highlighting the project's substantial scale.Environmental leadership distinguishes Atlas Salt within the mining sector through 100% battery electric operations eliminating diesel usage, chemical processing, water consumption, and tailings generation. The operation will produce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to just four Newfoundland households annually, positioning the company to benefit from increasing ESG investment focus while delivering superior returns through operational efficiency.Strategic infrastructure positioning provides additional competitive moats. Located 3km from deep-water port facilities on the Trans-Canada Highway, the project enables efficient distribution to major northeastern US and eastern Canadian markets. The proximity advantage becomes particularly pronounced during severe weather periods when import logistics face maximum constraints.The financing strategy leverages the project's industrial mineral characteristics to access infrastructure-focused debt providers typically unavailable to traditional mining projects. With total capital requirements of $480 million, Atlas Salt is engaging sovereign wealth funds and institutional lenders attracted to long-term, stable cash flow profiles. The phased development approach mitigates near-term financing pressure while enabling progressive project derisking.Market entry timing provides exceptional opportunity as no new North American salt mines have been constructed in 25-30 years despite growing import dependence. The 2.5 million ton production target represents approximately 25% of current import volumes, positioning Atlas Salt as a meaningful market participant without threatening established supply relationships.Advanced permitting status further derisks the investment proposition. The project has completed environmental assessment approval, eliminating a primary risk factor in Canadian mining development while benefiting from strong community support that reduces regulatory and social license risks.Atlas Salt represents a distinctive opportunity to participate in addressing North America's critical infrastructure mineral deficit while capturing stable, long-term cash flows characteristic of essential industrial minerals. The convergence of market necessity, strategic positioning, environmental leadership, and proven economics creates compelling investment dynamics rarely available in commodity markets.View Atlas Salt's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/atlas-saltSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
We start this week with some headlines including victories at Safeway, King Soopers, Tyson, Sharp Healthcare, as well as workers standing up to ICE all over the country.

Municipal workers in Philadelphia have been on strike over a week and the mile high stacks of trash are showing just how vital these folks are. The right wing assault on universities continues to escalate, and many administrators are using it for cover for attacks on workers they've wanted all along. Finally, we cover a roundup of ways that the Trump Administration is rolling back even more of the very few labor protections any of us have.
