Today's news from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.):
King's Dream: Sen. Bernie Sanders told Thom Hartmann Thursday that "as a nation, we have made some real progress" in realizing the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who gave his famous 'I Have a Dream' speech 50 years ago. But Sanders said the media often fails to mention that King was "not only a great leader in terms of opposing segregation." He was also a "valiant fighter for economic rights.”
Food Safety: Food and Drug Administration officials heard from hundreds of farmers from Vermont and New Hampshire during a listening session this week on new food safety rules under consideration by the federal agency. Efforts by the New England congressional delegation resulted in sessions in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Jenny Nelson, Sen. Sanders’ agriculture policy advisor, said the hearings have been an eye-opener for the FDA, WAMC-FM reported. ...
Solar City: Green Mountain Power unveiled energy projects that could make Rutland a national laboratory for innovation, as well as an exemplar in community betterment. “It is an ambitious and far-sighted vision that has been embraced by Mayor Christopher Louras and other city officials,” the Rutland Herald said in an editorial which also noted that Sen. Sanders was on hand to lend his support.
Global Warming: Scientists released a report this week that found — with 95 percent certainty — that human activity is raising temperatures and as a result of that sea levels may rise by more than three feet by the end of the century. Sens. Sanders and Barbara Boxer recently introduced legislation to tax carbon emissions and invest in clean energy technologies. “It launches the conversation where it should be launched: a punitive tax on the human behavior that is pushing the world’s environment toward calamity,” Angelo Lynn wrote in an Addison County Independent editorial.
