Polluting industries' campaign donations weaken the EPA

It's no different, really, than the polluting industries making their campaign contributions, and then the EPA wanting to impose more strict ozone standards, and President Obama basically vetoing the EPA. We know that's not in the public interest. President Obama has to know that's not in the public interest. He's serving the interest of those polluting industries.

As mayor, national model in reducing resource use

Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson will talk about how he has led his community's efforts to use resources more wisely. As a result, Salt Lake City and Anderson have received a number of national and international honors. [At an upcoming mini-summit], Anderson will describe how, during the past six years, he has led Salt Lake City to become a national model in reducing resource use. Equally important, Salt Lake has done so while maintaining its economic vitality and quality of life.
