POVERTY WITH A VIEW: Since 10-year housing plan passed in Flagstaff, what work has been done?
Well over a year since the passage of Flagstaff’s 10-year housing plan by the city council in February of 2022, city staff say they are hard at work implementing aspects of the plan. Earlier this month, the city’s housing staff reported to the city council on what is in their current implementation plan, and what they have been working on and accomplished in that effort. Sarah Darr, the city housing director, said the city has finished an update of its Limited English Proficiency Plan, which is designed to ensure residents who might struggle with English are still able to access city housing services. But Darr also cautioned the council that Flagstaff and the city are now on the bleeding edge of these kinds of housing efforts. Bite-sized progressIn implementing the plan, city staff are breaking it up into more bite-sized chunks, Justyna Costa, the city assistant housing director, told the Arizona Daily Sun.

Ithaca Carshare to Resume Operations March 2024
Ithaca Carshare will be returning to the city in March 2024 after it suspended operations in May 2023 due to insurance issues. Ithaca Carshare is New York’s only nonprofit carshare service, providing over 1,500 members with nonstop access to 30 different vehicles. A two-year member of Ithaca Carshare, Orion Smedley grad said he likes using Ithaca Carshare as a safety net. But without revenue from Carshare, we’ve really been struggling.”Because Ithaca Carshare cannot resume operations until March 2024, members must find alternative modes of transportation in the meantime. A 2013 study conducted by Cornell found that for every vehicle operated by Ithaca Carshare, 15.3 vehicles were taken off of the road.

Mexico cargo trains halted after migrant deaths, injuries
MEXICO CITY, Sept 20, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Mexico's biggest rail operator said Tuesday that it had halted 60 freight trains after a surge in the number of US-bound migrants traveling on them led to deaths and injuries. Ferromex said it had taken the measure due to a "notable increase" in migrant flows and the "severe risk" of riding on the trains clandestinely. Several thousand irregular migrants were waiting on trains or in rail yards in cities along routes towards the US border, a company statement said. For years migrants have climbed aboard freight trains -- including one railroad known as "The Beast" -- during the dangerous overland journey through Mexico to the United States. They risk serious injury or death from accidents such as falling from the roof.

Lincoln woman accused of working with Aubrey Trail to extort $25K from prison nurse
A 55-year-old Lincoln woman went to jail Sunday for allegedly helping convicted killer Aubrey Trail in a murder-for-hire scheme to extort money from a prison nurse who had smuggled contraband into the prison for him, including a cell phone. Trantham said that in an interview in 2021, Al-Rekabi denied she was communicating with prison staff members for Trail. Trantham detailed recordings of three calls believed to have been between Trail and Al-Rekabi in early 2021. In order for her to stop the murder, Trail told her she needed to give him $25,000, which she said she did through Al-Rekabi. lnmate Aubrey Trail, with the assistance of Samantha Al-Rekabi, manipulated (the nurse) into the belief that these things would happen if she did not provide the funds that Inmate Trail requested," Trantham said.
