These are the types of high-quality trades careers that you can build a family around.But it wasn’t too long ago that the company behind it — Arcosa Wind Turbines — was in the middle of difficult layoffs at their other facilities around the country.The company’s outlook changed dramatically when we passed the Inflation Reduction Act.Today, Arcosa’s manufacturing orders have surged above $1.1 billion, according to its CEO, allowing the company to expand to new facilities.Just days after President Biden’s visit, the major solar cell and panel manufacturer Maxeon announced it will open a new $1 billion factory that will create 1,800 new jobs in Albuquerque.These massive manufacturing plants in my state are proof that the investments that Congress passed in the...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1078 Monday, which penalizes school boards for banning books. The new law applies to bans on books and other materials based solely on the inclusion of history related to Black, Latino, Asian, Native American, LGBTQ people and other groups, CalMatters reports. Moreno Valley Democrat and Assemblymember Corey Jackson introduced the bill, which Newsom called "long overdue."Several California school boards, including those in the Orange Unified School District and Chino Valley Unified School District, have recently shown disapproval of Newsom's education plan by passing parent notification policies and other rules regarding transgender students.The response from Democratic legislators has been to approve more education bills. "We want to do more than just push back rhetorically against that, and that’s what this legislation provides," Newsom said regarding AB 1078. The bills are intended to bolster the state’s protections for LGBTQ+ peo...

After a series of denials, the event finally got the go-ahead f...
