Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Barbara Boxer, Chuck Schumer, and other Democractic Senators block Donald Schregardus, due to the Federal investigation of the Ohio EPA which he headed, for non-enforcement of the Clean Water Act. Schumer also wants to know Schregardus’ plans for acid rain enforcement in general. We speak with John Coequyt, Senior Analyst of the Environmental Working Group, and Marilyn Wall, board member of the Ohio Citizen Action, and Conservation Chair for the Sierra Club.
