Numerous water experts at Arizona State University and the University of Arizona have concluded that the Sun Corridor will be both sustainable and economically resilient, but are they correct, and is this the future we want?

    20170324_cwagOn Saturday, Apr. 8, Daniel Higgins, PhD  presents “From Valley of the Sun to Sun Corridor: Broadening the Discussion on Arizona’s Water Future,” when he speaks to the Citizens Water Advocacy Group from 10 a.m. to noon at the Granite Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation building, 882 Sunset Avenue, Prescott. The public is invited. 
     
    Higgins will weave together Arizona’s past, present, and future approach to water planning, including: (1) the Valley of the Sun’s dependence upon tribal groundwater resources, (2) the current scientific understanding of resilient systems, and (3) water planning for the Sun Corridor megapolitan area, to ask whether or not the lessons from the Valley of the Sun influenced Sun Corridor water planning, whether or not these plans are adaptive or maladaptive to future conditions, and to broaden the discussion on the resilience of Arizona’s water future.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
