Known for over 30 years as the Italian Robinson Crusoe, the old man of Budelli is to be evicted from his island paradise. The hermit-like caretaker Mauro Morandi first ran into trouble in 2016, after his New Zealand backer lost his appeal and the private island was returned to public hands.

Senators in the Committee for Marijuana Law heard supporters and opponents on one of three recreational marijuana implementation bills, HB 670.  It appears to me that 670 is attempting to strike a decent balance between regulation and allowing businesses to do what they need to do, a supporter said.

Lawmakers discussed how the bill lets local city and county governments decide if they want dispensaries to open up within their borders.
In response to Randy Ihle letter entitled âGrateful for Line 3.â
There are so many things that I am more grateful for than Enbridgeâs Line 3 pipeline. I am grateful for clean water, clean air and a healthy ecosystem. All the things that I am grateful for are being put at risk by the heavy crude oil that Line 3 is being built to carry. Being grateful for Line 3 is akin to thanking the arsonists for not lighting your house on fire yet.
Will Randy Ihle be grateful when he isnât able to fish in his favorite lake because of an oil spill or isnât able to snowmobile because climate change has resulted in less snow on the trails? All are real possibilities that pipeline supporters conveniently ignore.

According to The New York Times report published on Saturday, Trump s supporters ended up making more donations than they intended as the campaign used pre-ticked boxes on fundraising emails, tricking them to make repeat donations while they intended to make just one-off payment.As p
