> Lincoln famously wrote, "Are all the laws but one to go unexecuted, and the government itself go to pieces, lest that one be violated?"
> Today, all the laws that have protected the nation from the arbitrary rule of a lawless president are increasingly going unexecuted. It’s time for state and local governments to invoke their own laws to preserve American democracy. And it’s time for their constituents to demand this of them.

#LocalGovernments will be in charge of many practicalities. The city of #Suzhou, in #China’s wealthy #Jiangsu province, already began, announcing subsidies worth 100 million yuan (S$19.2 million) for #cars – up to 6,000 yuan per buyer – and 20 million yuan for #appliances, or a maximum 1,500 yuan for each machine, starting April 20.

#China wants everyone to trade in their old cars, fridges to help save its economy

California’s Local Environmental Choice and Safety Act, CA Assembly Bill 3233 (#AB3233 Addis) passed by 8 votes to 3 in Assembly Natural Resources Committee on April 8, 2024.

April 17th is the bill’s next hearing, in the Utilities and Energy Committee. It’s likely to be a closer vote and legislators will need to see support! If you’re a California resident, please call 1, 2, 3, or even all of the legislators on the committee list https://autl.assembly.ca.gov/members and urge them to Vote YES on AB 3233.

Why have Bicycling #Monterey https://bikemonterey.org/californias-local-environmental-choice-and-safety-act-ab-3233.html, Climate Reality Project #MontereyBay, and so many others expressed support for #AB3233? Oil companies are undermining the rights of #LocalGovernments to protect their communities from #oil and #gas #pollution. This bill reaffirms the rights of cities and counties to restrict oil and gas production in their area. It will protect #PublicHealth, our #climate, and local #democracy.

Many #localgovernments have ambitious #climategoals. In the Netherlands, these goals are most often formulated as achieving climate neutrality by a specified year. However, only a few seem to have made a conscious effort to define #climateneutrality. More than once, I have asked my clients in the #publicsector for their definition, only to receive blank stares or shrugs in response. https://rzondervan.substack.com/p/notes-212023

Promoting a project that endeavors to harness the (untapped) potential of existing #climatedata in effectively addressing climate change for #localgovernments—the VALORADA project, in which I serve as a member of the advisory board https://rzondervan.substack.com/p/notes-202023

my question is how these #authoritarian tactics have become such an easy go-to for #localgovernments:
"Today, Atlantans woke up to the news that the City Clerk, in direct defiance of Council's orders, published unredacted personal information of every petition signer & witness."

#China has faced many #EconomicProblems this year, from #deflation and record #YouthUnemployment to a #property crisis. But now, an even more worrisome threat is emerging: the colossal hidden #debt of China's #LocalGovernments. Some estimates put the #liabilities of China's local financing vehicles close to $10 trillion. https://flip.it/YKeyty

#ClimateDiary very good and illuminating meeting with the #SantaCruz Sustainability and Climate Change Officer, learning about the challenges of #CoastalErosion and #SeaLevelRise at #WestCliffDrive - the #Infrastructure costs, the uncertainties, the different interest groups affected and involved - so much to balance here and for #LocalGovernments everywhere 1/2

How China’s hidden debt risk ‘comes from its system’, and why local governments are beholden to Beijing
China’s zero-Covid policies and post-pandemic push for self-sufficiency have strained finances at local levels, pushing debt sky high this year, with little help from the central government
Some say Beijing is reluctant to change China’s fiscal structure because it gives leaders greater financial control over the provinces
