Same reason we don't want cars to use the bike path, or pedestrians in the bike lane, or bikes in the bus lane: the speed mismatch between the different users is too great.

People claim that the asphalt is squishier and therefore easier on their knees, but I think the real reason is that bike lanes are smoother and better-maintained than sidewalks in most areas.

We're launching our next round of State Policy Task Force members next Mon! So far we have 7 volunteers to help design a plan for 2025, educate decision makers, and engage the public on housing policy. This is an opportunity to step into a FRESH group of folks and get more involved with N4MN.

Does anyone have examples of municipalities in Ohio modifying or extending the state building code, particularly as it pertains to single-stair buildings?

Upshot: SCOTUS vacates and remands the NetChoice cases because of the facial challenge irregularity that came up at oral arguments, but the Court takes the time to explain how it views the First Amendment principles at issue, with a not-at-all-disguised swipe at the 5th Circuit.

I note that Ohio fixed the deadline, and now allows parties to certify their nominees for president and VP no later than 60 days before the election: www.legislature.ohio.gov/files/specia... (passed in special session on May 31: www.legislature.ohio.gov/135-special-...)

Ohio fixed that in a special session on May 31: a party can make their nomination as late as 60 days before the election. www.legislature.ohio.gov/files/specia... (see www.legislature.ohio.gov/135-special-...)

Today's Chevron hinged on what the Administrative Procedures Act tells judges to do. Congress could "just" tell judges to defer to agency experts, instead of relying on the judges' own judgement. Or at least that's my impression of the ruling.

It feels like a lot of these cases could be fixed by Congress simply updating the laws to add specific language reversing the Court's interpretation of those laws.

Roberts announces Monday as the final day of Supreme Court opinions this term. That means we are certain to get the pivotal NetChoice cases about the future of online content moderation that day, but they'll 100% be overshadowed by the Trump immunity ruling.
