EPA Announces $2.7 Billion for Infrastructure to Protect Surface Waters and Drinking Water

0

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the availability of $2.7 billion for State Revolving Funds (SRFs). This funding assists states, tribes and territories with infrastructure projects that help protect surface water and provide safe drinking water to communities across the United States.

“EPA’s decades-long commitment to water infrastructure has helped provide $180 billion in project financing to over 41,000 water quality infrastructure projects and 15,000 drinking water projects across the country,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “In the past three years, the Trump Administration has accelerated EPA’s investment in infrastructure projects that modernize our nation’s water infrastructure and improve public health and the environment.”

In 2020, EPA is providing approximately $1.6 billion in new federal grant funding for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). This funding is available for a wide range of water infrastructure projects, including modernizing aging wastewater infrastructure, implementing water reuse and recycling and addressing stormwater. More than $64 million in CWSRF grant funding is available to tribes, certain U.S. territories and the District of Columbia for infrastructure projects.

EPA is also making available more than $1.07 billion in new federal grant funding for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). This funding can be used for loans that help drinking water systems install treatment for contaminants, improve distribution systems by removing lead service lines and improve system resiliency to natural disasters such as floods. In addition, more than $50 million in DWSRF grant funding is available to tribes, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia to use for drinking water system upgrades.

This action supports EPA’s 50th anniversary celebration and its February theme of protecting America’s waters—including surface water protection, safe drinking water and water infrastructure investments.

Commentary: Maybe The Old Party Is Over

4

TheStatehouseFile.com

INDIANAPOLIS – Maybe it’s time to change the Republican Party’s name.

That thought crossed my mind as I watched U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, speak movingly about his decision to vote in favor of the first article of impeachment indicting President Donald Trump. Romney, the GOP’s presidential standard-bearer just eight years ago, predicted with heartbreaking accuracy that his vote would open him and his family to unbridled rancor and calumny from this president and his enablers

Trump and company did not disappoint.

Almost before the echoes of Romney’s short speech had died, the president and chorus took to social media and airwaves to attack the Utah senator’s sanity, courage, and character.

Team Trump now has broken with the three men – Romney, the late Arizona Sen. John McCain, and former President George W. Bush – who most recently carried the Republican flag.

The president continued his mission of demolition the next day.

First, he decided at a prayer breakfast that revenge and recrimination rather than reconciliation and forgiveness were the tickets. Then, at a White House gathering that featured more than an hour of Trumpian stream-of-consciousness rambling, he lashed out, again and again, at Democrats, Romney and many Republicans who did not offer him absolutely, unquestioning loyalty.

The president’s message to the GOP was clear:

Line up, boys, and kiss the ring.

It’s a sad and bewildering thing to watch the dissolution of a great political party.

The Republican Party’s greatest strength always has been its unwavering commitment to a set of principles. Free trade. Limited government, particularly when it comes to the executive branch. Strict adherence to the Constitution. Advocacy of personal responsibility.

This president believes none of that.

He starts and stops trade wars on a whim. He argues that the Constitution’s constraints on presidential authority do not exist. He ignores all other constitutional checks and balances. And, whenever something goes wrong, he blames someone else.

That’s what makes his hold on the GOP both so puzzling and so tragic.

There is a fevered quality to the fear this president inspires.

Trump and his followers tout his invincibility, but there is little objective evidence to buttress their belief.

Donald Trump has yet to lead the Republican Party through an election cycle in which the GOP wins the popular vote.

In 2016, he trailed Hillary Clinton – the most vulnerable Democratic presidential candidate since Walter Mondale – by nearly 3 million votes. What’s more, he needed the help of both the Russians and an epic misjudgment by former FBI Director James Comey to get even that close.

Then, two years later, during the 2018 off-year election, the GOP’s popular vote deficit in U.S. House races swelled to 10 million.

Along the way, Republicans lost bastions – every House seat in Orange County, California, and Alabama’s U.S. Senate seat – once thought impregnable. Those Republicans didn’t vote for Democrats because they wanted to. They did so because a Donald-Trump-led GOP violated principles they held dear and left them no choice.

Now, the president and cheerleaders are doing victory dances because they averted disaster in the impeachment process. To record that dubious achievement, they had to bend and twist both Senate rules and constitutional understandings out of any recognizable shape. Even then, Donald Trump became the first president in U.S. history to have a member of his own party cast a vote for his removal.

That didn’t stop the president and his camp followers from crowing that his public approval rating had reached 49 percent, largely, he argued, because the economy was doing so well and people like him so much.

Again, the Trump cult failed to ask why this president is the first one since polling began never to crack 50 percent approval. This is especially remarkable given that the stock market has boomed throughout his term, even if some other economic indicators have been less hopeful.

That’s the way it is with hallucinations.

They make people forget who they are and what they believe.

It’s hard to recognize the Republican Party now.

That’s because it has stopped being the Republican Party and instead has become the Trump Party.

Now, and perhaps forever.

Aces Ready For Second Match-Up Against The Ramblers

The University of Evansville men’s basketball team returns home to the Ford Center on Wednesday for a 6 p.m. game against Loyola.  The game will be carried on ESPN+ along with the Purple Aces Radio Network.

 Setting the Scene

– Evansville has come extremely close to their elusive first conference win in the last two games; following an overtime game against Southern Illinois last week, the Aces held a 1-point lead inside of four minutes remaining on Sunday at Bradley

– In the first contest between UE and Loyola, the Ramblers outscored the Aces by a 54-16 margin in the paint on their way to a 78-44 victory

– Marquise Kennedy led LUC with 20 points on an efficient 8-for-9 shooting day

– When you look at the series, the Ramblers have won four of the last five games, but Evansville held strong on its home floor last season, dealing the Ramblers a 67-48 loss on January 8, 2019

– K.J. Riley was the top performer in that game, posting 15 points while hitting six of his nine attempts; he added seven assists and five rebounds

Last Time Out

– On Sunday at Bradley, the Purple Aces opened up an early 6-2 lead before the Braves would go up by as many as 14 points in the second half

– Evansville battled back each time and took a 1-point lead inside of four minutes remaining before a late run by the Braves saw them take a 69-58 win

– Leading the Aces was Evan Kuhlman, who chipped in 13 points and a career-high nine rebounds

– John Hall finished with 12 points while Jawaun Newton and K.J. Riley added 11 and 10, respectively

– Trailing by a 44-30 margin in the opening minutes of the second half, the Aces used a 16-2 run to get back into it and would take a 54-53 lead with 3:56 on the clock

– An and-one by the Braves got them started on a game-ending 16-4 run that saw them take the 11-point win

Up-Tempo Sophomore

– Taking care of the ball has been a specialty of UE sophomore Shamar Givance, who is back on top of the MVC in assist-to-turnover ratio with a tally of 2.9 for the season

– In his last five games, Givance has recorded 16 assists and just four turnovers in 99 minutes of work

– Grievance is starting to find his groove from outside as he converted all three attempts on his way to nine points against Drake and is 4-of-9 from long range in the last seven games

– He has 58 assists against just 20 turnovers in his 510 minutes on the floor

Locked In

– UE has excelled over the last three games in limiting assists and forcing turnovers – the opposition has 20 assists against 36 turnovers over that stretch

– The three games prior to that opponents them finish with 50 helpers and 22 turnovers

Scouting The Opponent

– Loyola has posted a 16-9 record through its first 25 games while accumulating an 8-4 record in Valley games

– Cameron Krutwig continues to rank among the top players in the conference and paces the Ramblers with 15.2 points and 8.0 rebounds per game

– Aside from those numbers, Krutwig has a team-best 108 assists, which ranks second in the league and has 18 blocks

– Tate Hall has notched 13 points and 3.9 boards, both second on the team

– Marquise Kennedy is third with 9.1 PPG, but in the first meeting against the Aces, was 8-of-9 from the field on his way to 20 points

 

AG Curtis Hill Sues Nonprofit Accused Of Abusing Animals

0

Following a months-long investigation, Attorney General Curtis Hill this week took legal action against a Charlestown-based nonprofit organization called Wildlife in Need (WIN) that claims to rescue and rehabilitate wildlife before returning animals to their native habitats. In reality, Attorney General Hill alleges, under WIN director Timothy Stark’s guidance, the nonprofit organization has a history of abusing animals, neglecting to provide basic necessities to animals, and forcing animals to live in deplorable conditions. Further, contrary to its stated purpose as a nonprofit corporation, WIN allegedly has failed to return animals to their native habitats and misapplied assets purportedly collected for animal care.

“This organization claims to promote the best interests of animals when evidence indicates the exact opposite is happening,” Attorney General Hill said. “Generous Hoosiers who have contributed money to Wildlife in Need deserve to know the truth.”

In a lawsuit against WIN, Attorney General Hill asks a court to dissolve the nonprofit organization and to provide other remedies under Indiana’s Nonprofit Corporation Act and Deceptive Consumer Sales Act. Among other things, the lawsuit seeks to liquidate the organization’s assets, arrange placement of all its animals into court-approved animal sanctuaries, and enjoin WIN directors Timothy Stark and Melisa Lane from possessing and exhibiting animals in the future.

In addition to the lawsuit, Attorney General Hill also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction that would prohibit the operators of WIN from removing animals from its premises pending the court’s final order. The injunction would order WIN to ensure proper and adequate care to all animals currently in its control and allow an expedited inspection of documents and any locations where WIN keeps and/or exhibits animals.

According to court documents, Stark has a history of hoarding animals in deplorable living conditions, abusing and neglecting animals, trafficking animals, hiding animals from government authorities, and attempting to move WIN animals out of state. The State’s allegations include horrifying details related to Stark’s methods of “euthanasia” and his abuse of animals in his care.

“The State has reason to believe animals at WIN are living in deplorable conditions, and a prompt inspection of WIN’s facilities by an animal welfare expert is needed to determine whether the animals at WIN are in imminent danger of illness or death during the pendency of the lawsuit,” states the motion for a preliminary injunction. The State is eager to obtain a preliminary injunction hearing date as soon as possible in order to permit the Court to hear evidence supporting the State’s requested remedies.

Stark has told multiple WIN employees that he intends to shoot WIN animals if the government attempts to remove them, according to court documents.

Between 2012 and 2018, WIN’s number of animals reported to the U.S. Department of Agriculture increased from 43 to 293. On Feb. 3, 2020, that agency ordered Stark’s USDA exhibitor license revoked based on repeated violations of the Animal Welfare Act and a history of willful non-compliance.
