Rural communities in the West are being left on their own to deal with the effects of climate- and environment-related disasters as the Environmental Protection Agency slashes $1.5 billion worth of grants to nonprofits. Towns and villages along eroding coasts and rivers, or in deep mountain valleys, were slated to receive money to seal their houses from wildfire smoke, mitigate constant flooding, and build emergency hubs, among other projects. In a statement, an agency spokesperson said the EPA is reviewing the grants, but at least one nonprofit, which helps residents cope with wildfires, has had its grant terminated. An unnamed EPA official said it appeared reviewers had simply canceled grants whose applications included the words “equity” or “environmental justice.” (Washington Post)
Our ill-tempered times are leaving a mark on the Chautauqua Institution, a resort and cultural center in western New York State that for 150 years has embraced an ethos of discussion and decorum. The nonprofit is in sound financial shape, but some of its well-heeled, longtime visitors have raged against challenges ranging from lapses in upkeep to the administration’s perceived indifference to antisemitism and liberal bias in programming. They have vented their frustrations in “an almost daily drumbeat of blog posts” and used what one dissenter called “classic guerrilla tactics” in a campaign to push out president Michael Hill, who will leave Chautauqua in May. Hill, who will become president of Randolph-Macon College in Virginia, said the departure was his choice. (New York Times)
