In a rare, early-morning vote, Republican lawmakers in the Oklahoma House approved legislation to grant immunity to drivers who hit protesters, reports Carmen Forman.
On a party-line vote, with Republicans in favor, the Oklahoma House passed House Bill 1674, which grants civil and criminal immunity for drivers who unintentionally injure or kill protesters while fleeing from a riot, according to Forman. The bill would also allow prosecutors to charge with a misdemeanor protesters who unlawfully obstruct streets or highways to a point that it hinders traffic.

Cultivating a Culture of Transit

Cultivating a Culture of Transit
How Detroit, historical home of the U.S. automotive industry, can create a culture of transit and the equitable transportation system its residents need.
February 23, 2021, 7am PST | David Gifford |
When you hear the name Detroit, what words come to mind? Motown is a common one. It references the Soul Music made here but also the auto industry that put Detroit on the map. A word you might not find synonymous with Detroit is “transit,” at least not in a good way.
Because Detroit is so well known for its automotive industry, most people don’t know that the Motor City has had continuous public transit since 1863. Nearly 100 years ago, Detroiters traveled around on the nation’s largest municipally-owned network of electric streetcars and a system of far reaching interurban trains.

The average new car price paid in December 2020 and the fourth quarter of last year crossed over $40,000 for the first time., reports Sean Szymkowski from quarterly analysis published recently by Edmunds.
On average, new car buyers left dealerships (or signed papers from home) having agreed to a car payment of $581 per month at a 4.6% APR over 70 months, adds Szymkowski.
As noted by Szymkowski here and in a previous article, car prices rose steadily throughout 2020 despite the economic downturn. December tends to be a high point for luxury car sales, pushing the month s numbers beyond the recent rate of price growth. ....

Kea Wilson reports: Shortly before the holiday recess, then-Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and a coalition of 25 Democratic senators introduced a $435 billion economic justice bill called S5065 that included a $10-billion pilot program aimed at helping communities tear down urban highways, and rebuild the surrounding neighborhoods with the needs of underserved communities in mind.
The Restoring Neighborhoods and Strengthening Communities Program, known among advocates as the Highways to Boulevards initiative, would only be available in areas with large numbers of low-income residents and people of color. ....
