The governor had promised before the election that we would all get checks in the mail if she won, so that was a given. Legislators also passed new tax credits for the film industry, and a phased-in reduction of the gross receipts tax.

The governor had promised before the election that we would all get checks in the mail if she won, so that was a given. Legislators also passed new tax credits for the film industry, and a phased-in reduction of the gross receipts tax. All local legislators were invited to discuss this year’s 60-day legislative session which concluded earlier this month.

The conversation spans considerations of literature, including magical realism, contemporary and classic authors, and personal creative processes. They share stories and thoughts about books they've read together as well.

As a child who grew up watching the Vietnam War on the nightly news and fearing it would still be raging when I turned 18, I have always opposed the military adventurism of Republican leaders, whether it was Richard Nixon in Vietnam and Cambodia; Ronald Reagan in Central America or George W.

Dr. James C. Rice has just published a book entitled:
Downwind of the Atomic State - Atmospheric Testing and the Rise of the Risk Society Today we explore how the scientific community and U.S. government agencies overlooked, ignored, and denied the catastrophic fallout of decades of nuclear testing in the American West. In this peer-reviewed book Dr. Rice reveals his broad and in-depth findings on the history of these programs and their adverse impacts on life for those "downwind". The book and the conversation touch on thought-provoking evaluations of both the science and the sociological processes in play for the agencies, the people, and the communities affected, past and present. |
