Revisiting Dump Now, Pay Later: Inadequate Financial Assurance at the Shoosmith Landfill

Years ago, Bill Kovacs, then Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, several state regulators, and I helped launch an initiative called "Clean States." Although the program never fully got off the ground, its core vision remains compelling: demonstrating that environmental stewardship and economic growth can go hand in hand when businesses profit from pollution prevention. The same principle applies to healthcare: by proactively addressing root causes, we can prevent larger, more costly problems down the line.

RPS data breach: Former students at risk after dark web leak

Former Richmond Public Schools students could be caught up in last month's cybersecurity attack, after the district confirmed personal information was posted on the dark web.
