Inspection Stall Explained
After more than two weeks, the Massachusetts vehicle inspection system is still offline. People whose cars were due to be inspected in March are driving on expired stickers the state s RMV is now giving them until the end of May to get their vehicles checked.

MASHPEE News that the town has received $40 million in low- and potentially zero-interest loans from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund is cause for celebration, Mashpee Selectman Andrew Gottlieb said.
“It’s fantastic news,” Gottlieb said Tuesday afternoon after the state Department of Environmental Protection released its list of $622 million in loan financing for more than 50 projects addressing clean water improvements, from storm water to wastewater cleanup efforts. Another $2.3 million in grants was awarded to 16 projects for planning purposes.
Cape and Islands towns received nearly $118.7 million for eight projects.
DEP spokesman Ed Coletta said the federal Environmental Protection Agency passes the money down to the state to disburse as low-interest loans. That trust fund is also partially replenished each year as municipalities repay loans.
https://www.afinalwarning.com/509678.html (Natural News) More than 300 homeowners in Manatee County, Florida were told to evacuate on Saturday, April 3, as a wastewater reservoir was at risk of collapse 40 miles south of Tampa. Officials warned that the reservoir could flood homes with 15–20 feet of water if it collapses, according to a recent report from
Live Science.
The reservoir is a storage pond at a shut-down phosphate plant that used to manufacture fertilizer. The pond covers 79 acres and holds a mixture of saltwater dredged from Port Manatee, rainwater, stormwater runoff and fertilizer runoff from the phosphate plant.
The reservoir also contains high levels of phosphorus and nitrogen, as well as “stacks” of phosphogypsum. This is a waste product from manufacturing fertilizer that contains radioactive elements, such as radium and uranium. The reservoir has been leaking since late March.
