Pa. communities start to see impact of federal climate spending, as upcoming election casts doubt on programs’ futures stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylv…
Thanks Brett!
Good piece by @_rachelmcdevitt looks at life after coal in Homer City near where I grew up. I remember streams running orange with acid main drainage, like she describes, and the good news is, some of those streams have since seen successful remediation -- where money was spent.

I would trust my editor to lead me through the apocalypse.

Very cool to have some of my work recognized by SEJ as an honorable mention! This comment from the udges made my day: "McDevitt's knack for storytelling also makes climate change issues more accessible — and more engaging — for those who might otherwise look away."
We are pleased to announce the winners of the Outstanding Beat Reporting category (large and small markets) of the 2023 #SEJAwards. Congratulations to all the winners! conta.cc/3tTPr9l
