The resulting information vacuum on this “30x30” proposal has enabled critics to claim that a supposed federal land grab lies ahead. The administration’s silence on the issue has placed Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack in a difficult position as he tries to explain a policy that at this point is little more than an abstraction.
Vilsack, a former Iowa governor who also served as agriculture secretary in the Obama administration, did provide needed reassurance when he publicly stated that the federal government will not seize private land. He also noted that U.S. ag producers are already using conservation measures in many cases.
Dear Editor:
May is Mental Health Month. By urging my public officials to prioritize suicide prevention, mental health, and crisis care, I am hoping to influence collective change to support #MentalHealth4All.
Right now, individuals in crisis are able to call 1-800-273-8255 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress and those that care for them.
Soon, it will be much easier to remember how to reach the Lifeline as the number will be changing to “988” nationwide by July 2022.
Knowing this, it is critically important that states pass legislation NOW to reliably fund 988 and their state’s crisis response system, just as we fund 911 and emergency services – through small fees on our phone bills.

“Don’t do it! Don’t do it!” Sgt. Jon Reckenwald yelled, his gun drawn and pointed at R.V., who was on his back, on the ground next to a gas station in the Hammock, a gun of his own drawn–and pointed at his own head. “Drop it! Drop the gun!”
R.V. is a 55-year-old resident of Duke Road in Jacksonville. He had ridden his motorcycle down to the Hammock on Friday afternoon, where he said he planned to kill himself. A missing person report had been issued about R.V. in Jacksonville, noting that he had suicidal tendencies. “I could clearly see his finger was on the trigger,” one of the Flagler County Sheriff’s deputies who responded to the incident reported.
