Rep. #LoriChavezDeRemer of #Oregon has a #mixed #record on #LGBTQ+ #issues.
A #supporter of #LGBTQ+ #rights, she introduced a #bill to reverse #discharges for #gay #servicemembers, and voted against preventing #DoD from acknowledging #PrideMonth.
But she #cosponsored a #hategroup-promoted #ParentsBillofRights, which some fear could #endanger #trans #students

#WaterCompanies are shirking their responsibilities & dumping #sewage. The #discharges on the #IsleofWight are frequent. When the companies get #fined they pass the cost onto #customers who have no choices. #Water is essential. #Shareholders are laughing all the way to the #bank https://onthewight.com/southern-water-announces-9-increase-in-customer-bills-from-april/?mc_cid=c55a1253f5

#ManMade #AlgaeBlooms called #RedTides are killing off #MarineLife and finally #California #wastewater districts are working together to clean & limit #fertilizing #Phosphorus #Nitrogen and #Nutrient rich sludge releases into the region's regulatory vacuum and sewer they call #SanFrancisco Bay. This month #Marin, #Alameda and #Berkeley Marina have all had #HarmfulAlgaeBlooms or #HAB occurrences monitored by #SanFranciscoBay Regional #WaterQuality Control Board and other agencies who are all largely powerless to stop the disgusting #discharges causing the #toxic conditions.

Data questions I have - Is there access to the underlying data? What is the #licensing? Is this #opendata
