The Transit Oriented Development Infrastructure Financing Act, introduced on May 1, 2014 by Sen. Brian Schatz (HI), Sen. Ed Markey (MA), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (WA) and would make available loans or loan guarantees to support transit-oriented development projects. (No bill number could be found yet)
This is more urbanism and crony capitalism and federal loans and grants to enable same.

Rob Astorino decided that he’d had enough.
Westchester County took federal grant money and made sure their policies reflected fair housing policies according to HUD. But when HUD wanted more, over and above what the contract stated, they sued.
Now that Rob is running for Governor of NY, the Democrats are attacking him using the old worn out accusation of ‘racism’.
Rob simply is now having the gumption to stand up to the Feds and REFUSE to take money that would dictate how they would change their zoning.
Kudos to you Rob!
Ever wonder about Sustainable Communities? What are they, and who dictates?

Save Your Land Keene held an informational meeting on Saturday April 26th featuring Rep Jane Cormier and Ken Eyring, GSF researcher.
Attached is a picture of a person who challenged the speakers.
We are hoping someone can identify this person, who refused to give his name or sign into the event.
The event-goers did note he had no facts to back up his assertion that Ken or Jane were wrong in their research on HUD contracts via Granite State Future RPC “central planning” schemes.
A top US academic has dramatically revealed how government officials forced him to change a hugely influential scientific report on climate change to suit their own interests.
Harvard professor Robert Stavins electrified the worldwide debate on climate change on Friday by sensationally publishing a letter online in which he spelled out the astonishing interference.
He said the officials, representing ‘all the main countries and regions of the world’ insisted on the changes in a late-night meeting at a Berlin conference centre two weeks ago.
Three quarters of the original version of the document ended up being deleted.
And for those of you who say the UN has no power or influence over American affairs on climate, the article goes on to say…
IPCC reports are supposed to be scrupulously independent as they give scientific advice to governments around the world to help them shape energy policies – which in turn affect subsidies and domestic power bills.
Update: UN IPCC Official Admits ‘We Redistribute World’s Wealth By Climate Policy’
Stanley Kurtz wrote a book about this and doesn’t much mention Agenda 21 but that is what it is.

In Indiana the urbanists are attempting to merge rural areas with the cities so that more money can be funneled into their regionalism schemes. People do not want this. This is Agenda 21 at its worst.
Even the government is no longer listening to the hate group, known as the Southern Poverty Law Center
The self-styled “civil rights” organization Southern Poverty Law Center, which despite mounting controversy maintains some links to government agencies, released a bizarre and factually challenged screed attacking critics and opponents of the deeply controversial United Nations plot known as Agenda 21. Apparently unfamiliar with the definition of basic words such as “conspiracy” and “theory,” or with the UN plan itself, the SPLC also lashed out at “activist groups,” “mainstream politicians,” voters, “extremists,” and others who question or oppose the UN agenda for what it calls “sustainable development” in the United States.
World Heritage Sites are places the UN is claiming more and more.
http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/
The UN on its World Heritage website claims: “World Heritage sites belong to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located.”
Oh really?
We shall see about THAT.
