— 1d
Jackson Mayor John Horhn used his State of the City address to tout faster business permitting, the reopening of Thalia Mara Hall, plans to redevelop the zoo and progress toward riverfront development, while claiming the city erased a $25 million deficit—a claim disputed by some council members. With the city facing a smaller budget and deteriorating infrastructure, Horhn is also pursuing public and private funding, local control of the water system and potential data-center investment to generate revenue.

Supreme Court to Hear Climate Nuisance Case Critics Warn Could Cost Trillions
x/william-barr
— Sep 16, 2026
Former AG Bill Barr warned that climate lawsuits against American energy companies could strengthen adversaries like China and Russia by targeting private firms while sovereign immunity protects state-owned producers; he argued that Boulder County’s Suncor case and similar suits threaten to shift production abroad and raise energy costs, with some filings reportedly seeking trillions in damages. Barr also contended that such state-law claims have national and global implications that the Constitution bars from being controlled by individual states, and warned that a single victory could cripple U.S. energy producers.
