JERSEY CITY, NJ - A resolution sponsored by Councilman James Solomon encouraging the city to stop investing pension funds in companies that deal in fossil fuels and approved by the city council Thursday quickly became fodder for the November election, when Solomon’s political opponent, Jake Hudnut, labeled it “grandstanding.”
“The resolution sponsored by Councilman Solomon last night may look nice in a headline or a tweet, but in reality, it’s nothing more than a symbolic piece of paper that fails to address the very real issues we are already facing from the impact of climate change,” Hudnut said in a statement.

President Biden faced Capitol Hill turmoil unlike anything in recent history during his first 100 days in the Oval Office with thin margins in both chambers and political upheaval confronting his ambitious energy and environmental agenda.
Outgoing President Trump s supporters had stormed the Capitol in a democracy-defying riot just 14 days before Biden s inauguration. It led directly to a second impeachment trial for Trump, events that have only deepened political divides on the Hill.

Voting day on Peterborough’s warrant, May 11, draws ever closer, and proponents of Article 11, which commits the town to 100 percent renewable energy, are rallying. Their efforts were bolstered after helping to squash a legislative threat to community power, a major element of the plan to expand renewable use, earlier this year. The town’s electric vehicle charging station is also expected to come online this summer.
Article 11 seeks to commit Peterborough to transition to 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030 and 100 percent renewable heat and transportation by 2050 in a non-legally binding agreement. It stipulates completing an action plan by December 2022.
