Conscious Voices 0725129 SB6, Nuclear Bail-out Bill passes, and Morgan Harper Challenges Joyce Beatty


59:58 minutes (46.89 MB)

SB 6 has passed and was signed in to law this week. It creates a semi-permanent rate hike (fee) on our electric bills to off-set unspecified costs related to maintaining 4 antiquated power plants ( 2 nuclear and 2 coal) owned by First Energy. The bill also does away with the state's energy conservation standards. A coalition of environmental groups may seek to overturn the new law by means of a statewide referendum.
Full audio from a press conference held at the statehouse on the day of the vote.

Also; local community organizer Morgan Harper is challenging Democratic incumbent Joyce Beatty for the nomination to run for Ohio's 3rd congressional district - a so-called "safe" Democratic district created when the Republican Party re-drew a number of congressional districts to assure a Republican majority in the Ohio congressional delegation. Beatty may be slightly to trhe Left of the political center, while Harper's politics more closely resemble those of the newer generation of self-described progressives. She supports the Green New Deal, free college tuition, un iversal health care, and a comprehensive approach to resolving the nation's affordable housing crisis. A full interview with Morgan Harper.

Conscious Voices Local Dialogue on Venezuela


59:59 minutes (43.29 MB)

A recent talk in Columbus by professor of international human rights, Dan Kovalik on the situation in Venezuela was joined, informally, by a family of Venezuelan ex-patriots who support the U,S,-backed Venezuelan opposition. The talk begins as a straightforward presentation, but then devolves in to an unmoderated discussion that includes dissenting viewpoints, thus offering a good example of the differences between pro and anti-revolution perspectives.
