He said “yes” when asked if UAW members deserved a 40% raise, one of the demands that the union has made.“No deal, no wheels!” workers chanted as Biden arrived. “No pay, no parts!”He was joined by UAW President Shawn Fain, who rode with him in the presidential limousine to the picket line. “Thank you, Mr. Pre...

Opinion: Does Suncor — an urban pollutor — need hospice or rehab?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:25:17 GMT

Suncor Energy has a long history of polluting the community and violating the laws and regulations designed to protect people who work at the facility and who live nearby. This dark history includes innumerable malfunctions, accidents, and discharges of chemicals into the air and water.In the past, local leaders ignored, protected, or covered for Suncor because of the economic and political power wielded by Colorado’s only oil refinery. Now, local leaders are fed up. Some point out the endless cycle of “problem, apology, and repeat.” Even the Commerce City mayor said the community’s relationship with Suncor is like a domestic violence situation, where one spouse continues to abuse the other, even after multiple promises to do better.As Suncor continues to cough pollution into our air and secrete chemicals into our water, it is fair and justified (perhaps absolutely necessary) to reassess our relationship with Colorado’s only oil refinery which is located in the middle of the metropo...

Warning issued for Lake Castaic

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:25:17 GMT

LOS ANGELES - State water managers are warning people to stay out of Lake Castaic due to a potentially dangerous algae bloom.Lab tests this week found an increased level of toxins in the water due to the presence of blue-green algae, the California Department of Water Resources announced Tuesday.People are urged to avoid swimming or recreating in the lake, avoid eating fish or shellfish from it, and avoid any contact with algal “scum” in the water or on shore. “Boating is allowed, but water-contact recreation and sporting activities are not considered safe due to potential adverse health effects,” DWR said.The warning covers the entire lake, with the exception of Castaic Lagoon. People are also urged to keep their pets and livestock out of the water.While blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, is a natural part of the lake's ecosystem, levels can become elevated through warm water temperatures, storm runoff that carries nutrients, like fertilizer, into the water, and stagnation.Exposur...
