While many non-profits have experienced reductions in budgets, staff and cash reserves, the Child Care Resource Center has so far effectively Dmanaged our way through this ongoing economic crisis. Through effective and strategic leadership we have uniquely poised ourselves for the future by streamlining internal processes for increased operational efficiency, enhancing levels of customer service through leadership development and performance management, and implementing innovative technological solutions to solve everyday problems. Many services and programs across the Agency have not only survived immense financial stress and pressure but have flourished and grown. In 2009, we were able to hire 40 new staff in our ever-expanding Head Start and newly acquired Early Head Start preschool programs, added CPR and First Aid certification to our Resource & Referral training repertoire, offered our first Community Volunteer Day to Bank of America employees, and we began a literacy campaign to collect and distribute 100,000 books to help educate low income children in our service area. CCRC’s well respected Research Department and expert child development staff organized and implemented a series of comprehensive trainings on the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3) and the Parents’ Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS) child developmental screening tools.

    California Proposition 70, Vote Requirement to Use Cap-And

    California Proposition 70, Vote Requirement to Use Cap-and-Trade Revenue Amendment (June 2018) California Proposition 70: Vote Requirement to Use Cap-and- Trade Revenue Amendment Election date June 5, 2018 Topic State and local government budgets, spending and finance and Energy Status On the ballot Type Origin Constitutional State amendment legislature California Proposition 70, the Vote Requirement to Use Cap-and-Trade Revenue Amendment, is on the ballotin California as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on June 5, 2018.[1] A "yes" vote supports this amendment to require a one-time two-thirds vote in each chamber of the state legislature in 2024 or thereafter to pass a spending plan for revenue from the state's cap-and-trade program for greenhouse gases. A "no" vote opposes this amendment to require a one-time two-thirds vote in each legislative chamber in 2024 or thereafter to pass a spending plan for revenue from the state's cap-and-trade program. Overview What would Proposition 70 require? Proposition 70 would require a one-time two-thirds vote in each chamber of the California State Legislature to use revenue from the State Air Resources Board's auctioning or sale of greenhouse gas emissions allowances under the state's cap-and- trade program. To make sure no revenue is spent without the two-thirds vote, the measure would place all revenue from the cap-and-trade program in a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Reserve Fund beginning on January 1, 2024. The vote would take place anytime on or after January 1, 2024. Revenue would collect in this reserve fund until the one-time two-thirds vote occurred.

    Climate Change from the Streets: a Community-Based Framework for Addressing Local and Global Environmental Health Impacts

    Climate Change from the Streets: A Community-based Framework for Addressing Local and Global Environmental Health Impacts by Michael Anthony Mendez A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning and the Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jason Corburn, Chair Professor Malo Hutson Professor David Winickoff Spring 2015 Abstract Climate Change from the Streets: A Community-Based Framework for Addressing Local and Global Environmental Health Impacts by Michael Anthony Mendez Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning and the Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Jason Corburn, Chair This dissertation analyzes the emerging epistemologies of climate change in California as articulated by social movements, experts, and subnational governments. As the world’s eighth- largest economy and the only state in the U.S. to implement a comprehensive program of regulatory and market-based mechanisms to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, California represents an important site of inquiry. The passage of Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 has made the state a global leader on climate change science and policy innovation. While no subnational government can halt climate change alone, California’s environmental policies have a long history of success and replication. Through an extensive analysis of the state’s climate policies and interviews with key stakeholders, this dissertation highlights the challenges California faces in influencing global climate policy while addressing the needs of local communities that are already adversely impacted by air pollution.

    THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 25, Number 31 Thursday, August 13, 2009 Opportunity Knocks and Entrepreneurs Answer Restoring North Franklin Street --It’s Happening Now! by Rick A. Richards There are two ways of looking at down- town Michigan City – as a glass half full or a glass half empty. Ever since major retail- ers like Sears and J.C. Penney left down- town in the 1970s for Marquette Mall, the prevailing view has been a glass half empty. Not any more. Thanks to some visionary entrepreneurs with a glass half full atti- tude, more than $2 million in development is taking place in the six blocks of Franklin Street between Fourth and 10th streets. Mike Howard, owner of Station 801, a restaurant at the corner of Eighth and Franklin streets, is excited about a resur- gent downtown. “I think one day it’s coming back,” said Howard, who with partner Jerry Peters, The original signage and some of the original glassware from the 1941-era Peters Dairy Bar that operated on Michigan Boulevard is now a part of the new recently purchased the former Argabright Peters Dairy Bar at 803 Franklin Street. Communications building at 803 Franklin St., remodeled it and opened the Cedar Sub Shop and Peters Dairy Bar. “One of the reasons we bought the build- ing is that we’re seeing things happening downtown on a positive side,” said How- ard. After purchasing the building, Howard tore out some walls, did a bit of minor re- modeling and made a phone call to Debbie Rigterink, who used to operate the Cedar Sub Shop at the Cedar Tap.
