The SAVE Act could block millions of American citizens from voting by requiring people to produce documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. The Brennan Center’s research shows that 21 million Americans don’t have these documents readily available.

La Crosse has spent a whole lot of time, energy, and money on making active transportation-related plans. [...]

The plans say we want more and better bike infrastructure. We want fewer cars. We want safer places for kids and families, people of all ages and abilities, to bike. We want healthier, safer spaces for bicyclists and pedestrians. We want reduced vehicle miles traveled. We want people to be able to replace cars with active transportation for short trips.

But, some of the people who own businesses downtown don't want more access for bicyclists. They want parking.

La Crosse has spent a whole lot of time, energy, and money on making active transportation-related plans.
