Item 5:

Since the new CEO started, they have been trying to roll back protected bike lanes. It is vital that people push back on this.

Van Hollen is calling for Democrats to turn away from “wimpy politics” and stake out clear positions even on issues that lack a clear political upside. That includes backing Mamdani.

Appreciate Sammy’s reporting on this and concise explanation of so many complex issues in the energy package, but fear the description of AB 1207 misses the mark here.

The bill removes a major loophole industry loophole from the 2017 extension…

If you're curious about the color difference, the faded colors are parcels in low resource areas which wont be rezoned until RHNA 7 (2031) per SB 79 amendments, and the darker ones are the more imminent rezonings.
