WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE: FLOATING SOLAR PANELS ARE DEEP-SIXED
In short, without the subsidies, much of these grand ideas are just not....sustsinable.....
YADA YADA YADA THIS FINE FRIDAY
Many of us are not on social medial but we often get to hear about it and are sometimes sent screenshots:
****STILL Burning up social media across the state---the Blakeman Hochul debate---you'll have no trouble finding this on your own and the overwhelming consensus that the governor took a beating on everything from sanctuary policies to well, you name it. An outstanding debate but then many of us are admittedly ln Blakeman's camp...and you should watch this for yourself.
Updated Hochul stumble in opening statement in gov debate - NewsBreak
****They're out---Rivers and Melman "resignations"---the scandalous IDEA/DEI "private" tapes (that were being recorded via AI so they could be turned into minutes) and released via FOIL--you will have no trouble finding any of this ----as well as chatter that this can impact assorted legal cases---and has; stay tuned
****Lots of very positive chatter about the beautiful and "uplifting" our Lady of Fatima Rosary at St. Augustine. Hoping that photos will be posted....
****On one of the parents pages, they're having a very calm and measured discussion about measles and Gardisil (here's the latest measles numbers for those who are into that) and mixed discussion on Gardasil---as well as the merits of a Catholic school education especially in the time of Covid (they stayed open, have suffered so earning losses as a result)
