Feds unimpressed with plan for a 500-mile water pipeline in Colorado, Wyoming

Feds unimpressed with plan for a 500-mile water pipeline in Colorado, Wyoming

One version of a proposed 500-plus-mile water pipeline from southwestern Wyoming to Colorado’s Front Range was dealt a blow by a federal regulatory agency that found the application deficient on Wednesday. The Federal Regulatory Energy Commission (FERC) sent a letter to Fort Collins businessman Aaron Million requesting more information within a month, but FERC officials also appeared to have serious jurisdictional questions. “Because the Commission would only have jurisdiction with regard to the proposed hydroelectric development, which is only one component of the proposed 501-mile-long water supply pipeline project, construction of substantial parts of the overall project may require permits from other federal agencies,” FERC officials wrote.

Florida Education Association, teachers file lawsuit against state education overhaul

The Florida Education Association logo (Pic via candidateblogs.orlandosentinel.com) The Florida Eduaction Association filed a lawsuit in Tallahassee today, challenging the constitutinality of Senate Bill 736 , approved by the state Legislature and signed by Gov. Rick Scott in March. Andy Ford, president of the Florida Eduaction Association — Florida’s largest association of professional employees, with more than 140,000 members — said during a conference call Wednesday that the bill “is unconstitutional because it denies teachers their right to effective collective bargaining on wages and terms and conditions of employment.” Ford added that the “law changes wages, employment contracts, performance evaluations, promotions and workforce reduction provisions that have been previoulsy negotiated between teachers and local school districts.” Ford said the changes swept away the right of employees to negotiate their wages and the terms of their employment, protected by the Florida constitution
