Green Line surface, pag-leak ng budget at sunog sa landfill — Calgary Martes

14 artikulo 1 oras ang nakalipas 16

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Suportado ng Executive Committee ang surface Green Line sa kahabaan ng 10 Ave S.W. sa downtown. Bumoto ang komite nang 12-1 noong Martes para piliin ang surface alignment sa 10 Avenue S.W., na magtatapos sa isang estasyon sa pagitan ng 1 at 2 Street S.W.; si Ward 2 Coun. Jennifer Wyness (konsehalang si Jennifer Wyness, Ward 2) ang nag-iisang tutol. Sinabi ng mga opisyal ng proyekto na ito lang ang opsiyong kasya sa kasalukuyang budget matapos suriin ang 22 alignment mula 2016 hanggang 2024.
  2. Humingi ng paumanhin si Coun. Landon Johnston dahil sa pag-leak ng kumpidensiyal na budget documents at sinabi niyang gagawin niya muli. Inamin ni Landon Johnston (konsehal) na ipinasa niya ang mga closed-door na dokumento ng badyet sa Global News na nagpapakita ng senaryong maaaring umangat hanggang 20% ang property tax, at sinabi niya sa mga reporter na lilabag siya sa patakaran muli; hindi maaring parusahan ng konseho dahil inalis ng pagbabago sa batas ng lalawigan ang kapangyarihang iyon.
  3. Hinimok ng Business Council of Alberta (samahang kumakatawan sa mahigit 130 CEO) ang boto na ‘Piliin ang Canada’ bago ang plebisitong separatismo sa Oct. 19. Nagbabala ang Business Council na lilikha ng “malaking kawalang-katiyakan” ang botohan sa Oct. 19; tinawag ni pangulo Adam Legge ang paghihiwalay na isang “mapanganib na pustahan.”
  4. Haharap sa pag-angkin ng utang na halos $109 milyong dolyar na Amerikano ang pinuno ng separatista na si Jeffrey Rath. Naghahabol ang Delaware funder Diriba Investments LLC (isang pondo mula sa Delaware) laban kay Jeffrey Rath (pinuno ng separatista) at RathPC (kumpanyang legal na kinatawan ni Rath) para sa pagkabigong magbayad ng pagpopondo na kaugnay ng litigasyon, humihiling ng halos $109 milyon plus interes at gastos; tinukoy ni Roderick Wood, eksperto sa insolvency ng University of Alberta, ang kaso bilang “napakabigat, napakaseryoso.”

Environment

  1. Hinahanap ng mga may-ari ng lupa ang judicial review sa Court of King’s Bench ukol sa pagpondo ng Alberta Energy Regulator para sa orphan well levy. Kinakatawan ng Ecojustice ang mga may-ari ng lupa na sina Dwight Popowich at Teresa Patry sa isang judicial review na kumukwestiyon sa “talamak na kakulangan sa pondo” ng AER para sa Orphan Well Levy; ang levy para sa 2026-27 ay $154.56 milyon habang ang kabuuang tantiyang gastos sa paglilinis ay $1.66 bilyon.
  2. Nagtrabaho nang magdamag ang mga bumbero para makontrol ang patuloy na sunog sa landfill sa southeast Calgary. Nagpatuloy ang operasyon ng mga fire crew magdamag sa southeast Calgary landfill site noong Martes, ayon sa ulat ng nagpapatuloy na containment effort.
