El concejo municipal de Austin, la capital de Texas, aprobó este jueves una resolución que urge al Congreso de Estados Unidos a convertir en ley varios proyectos que legalizarían y darían un camino a la ciudadanía a millones de indocumentados.
A handful of big city Texas mayors – including Austin s Steve Adler – are urging state leaders to examine the policies and decisions that led to millions of Texans losing electrical power during last week s winter storm.
In a letter addressed to the head of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, the mayors say state leaders must take action to prevent this type of disaster in the future and that the state electric grid s processes and protocols need a full public airing. Perhaps no one is better equipped to communicate the devastating impacts of the storm on Texans than those of us at the local level, and we offer our cooperation and collaboration to find meaningful solutions, the letter stated. Our residents deserve answers – and they deserve reliable energy for their homes and businesses.
