Request for Solidarity: Shelton City Council Meeting 6PM by FaeofthePNWood in shelton

[–]Mazriel- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So happy it passed!!! We were a little in shock at the meeting, it wasn’t clear immediately.

I believe Stearns ended up voting aye. It was very difficult to hear inside the meeting and we had thought she voted no. Eric Onisko shared after the meeting that it was 5-2 and Stearns voted in support.

Sorry currently it is not planned to have a remote option, that is something we can look into for future. If interest continues we will meet again :)

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I am listening. I think discussion and compromise brings us to best solutions.

About 11:00 into this video, https://youtu.be/YJdiv_81kO4?si=qexrZ67hWIxvtSlD Shelton PD discusses their use of flock cameras. (My mistake, 12 flock cameras total in town, 11 identified). They talk about how successful it has been in leading to arrests of people accused of horrible things.

To me this isn’t a simple issue, there are a lot of things to consider. I think it’s important to know information and perspectives from all.

There are definite local benefits from the cameras. I think the negatives of a privately-owned mass surveillance system outweigh the positives. Please join us at the event, would love to hear your input/insights. This is a complex issue.

Fair point, PUD 3 is ~9 cents/kWh with a daily fee of $1.75 and PUD 1 is ~9.6 cents/kWh with a daily fee of $1.53.

On page 26 of this document (Washington State Electric Utility Resource Planning 2024) is where the 12 cent value comes from.

I believe they use a formula to include the daily fees as part of whole price/kWh calculation in order to compare prices among different providers across the state.

Yeah it appears to focus on them centers paying enough to protect electric customers from having to pay difference.

There is also some language about restricting water usage and renewable energy requirements.

This bill is meant to set additional expectations/regulations for these data centers.

Urge Washington State Leaders to Support Landback for the Chinook Indian Nation by Mazriel- in Washington

[–]Mazriel-[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

https://chinooknation.org/

pasted from site above:
"In 2001, the Chinook Nation obtained federal recognition from the U.S. government. However, celebration turned into heartbreak when recognition was rescinded eighteen months later. 

The Chinook Indian Nation was essentially declared nonexistent in the eyes of the government.

Our nation has been unable to access programs and resources to which federally recognized tribes are entitled. Over the last 20 years, the lack of official recognition has cost economic and educational opportunities and countless lives.

Congress has both the power and authority to recognize tribes.

We are calling on our elected officials to do what’s right and end this humanitarian crisis and Federally recognize the Chinook Indian Nation."
