    Assemblymember Gregg Hart Speaks on the Environment and Housing Crisis

    In this episode, The Indy host, Rebecca Fairweather, sits down with Assemblymember Gregg Hart to discuss concerns over the environment and the ongoing housing crisis. The Assemblymember has recently restarted ‘Sidewalk Office Hours’ that is available in twelve communities across the central coast including; Orcutt, Guadalupe, Goleta, Santa Barbara, Vandenberg Village, Lompoc, Solvang, Montecito, Summerland, Nipomo, Santa Maria, and Buellton. During his ongoing tenure, Assemblyman Hart has authored numerous bills addressing concerns ranging from the environment to affordable housing. Recently two bills addressing environmental concerns, authored by the Assemblyman, have been approved by California Governor, Gavin Newsom. Assembly Bill 584 allows state and local agencies the ability to aid in the protection of life and property alongside restoration and cleanup as a result of natural disasters. The bill allows the Coastal Commission more flexibility to issue emergency waivers. Assemblyman Hart also introduced AB 631 which increases penalties and enforcement options, empowering state and local enforcement to shut down oil companies with chronic compliance issues.

Rocky Horror Picture Show first made its debut in London as an on-stage production becoming a movie adaptation by director Jim Sharman. The film found a home for itself at the Waverly Theater in New York’s West Village for midnight screenings. From there, the cult-like fan base began to grow with regulars dressed in full costume and makeup returning week after week. The film showcases queer visibility in a positive light allowing its fans to see themselves represented in roles of empowerment and acceptance.
