But Fall River said no dice

Article Abstract:

The city of Fall River, MA, did not approve construction of a bingo hall for the Aquinnah Wampanoag Native Americans despite the efforts of activist Beverly Wright. Critics of Wright claim that her depiction of natives living in poverty was exaggerated. The effects the fight had on the natives and Fall River are examined.

Article Abstract:

Vermonters have banned billboards, passed legislation to protect their ridgelines and worked hard to lessen their use of fossil fuels for environment conservation. The proposed gigantic wind turbines on the mountaintops would add to Vermont's progressive heritage but will certainly betray the cause of conservationists.
