Providing an incentive for taking programming would positively reinforce rehabilitation and give inmates hope of leaving sooner by putting the work in, Kevin Werner, policy director at the Ohio Justice & Policy Center, told the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday, according to Gongwer News Service. Ohio prosecutors oppose the concept, saying Ohio is releasing inmates sooner and sooner without regard for public safety. The measure also doesn’t offer protection for the rights of victims and chips away at truthful sentencing, said Louis Tobin, executive director of the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association.

They were on their way to the Promised Land to begin a new life, but these people were always complaining and going against God’s commandments. What should have been a short trip of 40 days, ended up being a trip of 40 years because of the people’s bad behavior. Because of their disobediGod’s Kids ence, none of the original people Korner entered the Promised Land. They Ann all died first. They never got to see Moody what God had planned for them. Here, in these verses, God is reminding us again to follow His Word, love others, do good, and live the best life we can. The Israelites’ bad behavior is an example for all His children, so we can all go to heaven to be with Him. Jesus, in the New Testament, came to show us the way we should try to live, and the promises God gives to each of us. In verse 13 of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 10, it says this, “The only temptations that you have are the same temptations that all people have. But you can trust God. He will not let you be tempted more than you can bear. When you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation. Then you will be able to endure it.” Wow, just think about that! Everyone faces temptations and trials. But God will never let you down; He’ll never let you be pushed beyond what you can stand, and He’ll always be there to help you through it. That’s something we all can count on because God said it. So when things get hard, and you aren’t sure what to do, just ask God to help you know the best option. God’s option is always the best answer to any problem you and I might face as we grow older. Even we adults must remember this promise. Let’s say a prayer then to thank God for His Word. God, thank You so much for always being there when we need You. Help us to remember to call upon Your Name and remember what You told us about always being there to help us through any problems we may face. In Your holy name we pray, Amen. and the Bible tells us, “the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved (Acts 2:47; ESV).” The “number” to which the saved were added was the church, that congregation of the saved who were being built up by Jesus into a spiritual house (cf. 1 Peter 2:5). Some today want salvation without the rock of safety. They want forgiveness but they don’t want to be joined to the church, which is the body of Christ (cf. Colossians 1:18, 24). Such a desire is like wanting God to save you from drowning, and then wanting Him to put you right back into the swamp afterwards. Such a desire ignores God’s full plan of salvation, of which the church itself is a prophesied and integral part. When the saved are added to the church, when they work together with the church, so that the body is edified, building itself up in love (cf. Ephesians 4:15-16), it becomes a visible testimony not just to the saving power of God, but to the life-changing power of God: a sight which properly manifest will cause many to see, and fear, and put their trust in God.

Energy company to retire, sell Ohio, WVa power plants St. Patrick’s Day parades turn pandemic blues Irish green By Bobby Caina Calvan IRISH PM’S COVID LIMITS CEREMONY Fewer Americans file for jobless claims last week WASHINGTON (AP) — Fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week as layoffs continue to fall amid a strong job market rebound. Jobless claims fell by 15,000 to 214,000 for the week ending March 12, down from the previous week’s 229,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday. First-time applications for jobless aid generally track the pace of layoffs.

It’s being held as the city emerges from a discouraging bout with the highly contagious omicron variant, which killed more than 4,000 people in New York City in January and February. New infections and hospitalizations have declined since the surge, prompting city officials to green-light the procession.

Boston, home to one of the country’s largest Irish enclaves, resumes its annual parade Sunday after a two-year absence. Some communities in Florida, one of the first states to reopen its economy, were also bringing their parades back. The state chose St. Patrick’s Day two years ago to shutter restaurants, bars and nightclubs — a dramatic move by the Republican and which underscored the fear and uncertainty of the time. N means a lot,” said Sean Lane, the chair of the parade’s organizing group. “New York really needs this.” Mike Carty, the Irelandborn owner of Rosie O’Grady’s, a restaurant and pub in the Theater District, agreed. “This is the best thing that happened to us in two years,” he said. “We need the business, and this really kicked it off.” The South’s largest St. Patrick’s Day celebration made a big comeback in Savannah, Georgia, where Irish immigrants and their descendants have held parades since 1824. After nearly two centuries, the holiday has become Savannah’s most profitable tourist draw, a street party for hundreds of thousands still thirsty after Mardi Gras. Tori Purvis, 46, arrived before dawn to claim a spot near the start of the parade along with her 3-year-old son, Tristan, still wearing his pajamas decorated with leprechaun hats and rainbows. Purvis said she’s been celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah since TH Eduardo Munoz Alvarez | AP Bagpipers march up Fifth Avenue while they pass in front of St. Patrick Cathedral during the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Thursday in New York.

President Joe Biden had to settle for meeting virtually Thursday with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin after the visiting leader’s positive test for COVID-19 scrambled plans to mark St. Patrick’s Day at the White House. “I’m really deeply sorry for the inconvenience that we have to meet virtually this year,” Biden said to Martin, who dialed in by video link while isolating at Blair House across the street from the White House. The traditional crystal bowl of shamrocks gifted to the U.S. president was displayed next to the television monitor set up next to Biden’s chair in the Oval Office. “I’m doing good, and I think that reminds of the vaccines and that the vaccines prevent severe illness,” Martin told Biden. 5% OFF UA TO THE FIRST 50 CALLERS ONLY! ** SENIORS & MILITARY!

The holiday served as a key marker in the outbreak’s progression, with parades celebrating Irish heritage among the first big public events to be called off in 2020. An ominous acceleration in infections quickly cascaded into broad shutdowns. The full-fledged return of New York’s parade on Thursday coincided with the city’s wider reopening. Major mask and vaccination rules were recently lifted. The city’s famed Fifth Avenue was awash with green, as hordes of revelers took to sidewalks amid damp skies to take part in the tradition for the first time in two years. Kathy Brucia, 65, who is Irish and was clad in green, including a shamrock on her cheek, has been attending the parade for more than three decades — except the past two years. “The pandemic,” she said as the first marching band passed by Thursday morning. “I don’t think it’s over. But I think a lot of people feel like, wow, we could finally go to a parade and not worry. But I think everybody has to worry.” The day held great importance for a city still reeling from the outbreak. “Psychologically, it CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia coal-fired power plant will be sold or retired next year, its owner said. Akron, Ohio-based Energy Harbor announced the plan this week for the Pleasants Power station along with a coal and diesel facility in Stratton, Ohio, as part of its commitment to become carbon free. The Pleasants Power station is located on the Ohio River near Belmont, northeast of Parkersburg. In 2019, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice signed a bill passed by the legislature to stop charging the Pleasants Power station’s owner a $12.5 million tax. The plant was owned at the time by FirstEnergy Solutions. “Retiring the fossil fueled plants is a difficult but necessary strategic business decision critical to the continued transformation of our company,” David Hamilton, Energy Harbor’s executive vice president, CEO and chief nuclear officer, said in a statement. 2 death draws ever patient trust in closer, we know God.

There is no way to continued to be preached, save ourselves, and as 1 Corinthians 10: 1-13 D David, the great Psalmist, wrote of the salvation of the Lord, saying, “I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD. (Psalm 40:1-3; ESV)” There is embodied within these words an aid of sorts in understanding the “fear of the Lord,” showing that rather than being a fear born out of terror which compels the fearful to flee, godly fear is borne of awe, which draws men towards the object of reverence so that they, “trust in the Lord.” It is a fear which praises and rejoices, even as it trembles in wonder, for it sees the mighty manner in which the power of God is used, not simply to destroy, but to save, which is a much more difficult thing to accomplish. But, while such a conversation would not be without value, what we want to draw our attention to is not the resultant “fear,” but rather the image of salvation which David paints so as to engender that proper trust in God.

Knowing he’s probably done with the Browns, Mayfield posted a long note on social media, thanking Cleveland and its fans for embracing him and his wife, Emily. Let’s play! MLB spring games finally begin Baker Mayfield wants out of Cleveland. The Browns aren’t wiling to let him go just yet. Mayfield requested to be traded from the Browns on Thursday after the team failed in its pursuit of Houston quarterback Deshaun Watson, a person familiar with the discussions told The Associated Press on Thursday. Mayfield asked to be dealt shortly after the Browns were told by Watson that he wasn’t coming to Cleveland, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. The team, in turn, denied Mayfield’s demand, said a person with knowledge of the Browns’ decision. Led by Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam, the Browns sent a delegation to Houston on Tuesday and met with Watson, who became an option after a grand jury declined to indict him last week. Watson had been accused by 22 women of sexual misconduct. Watson is also being pursed by Atlanta, New Orleans and Carolina. The Browns’ overtures toward Watson triggered a strong reaction from Mayfield, whose feelings were hurt. He ended his social media hiatus by posting a letter on Twitter and Instagram, expressing disappointment and confusion over the situation. Mayfield struggled last season after hurting his left shoulder in Week 2 as the Browns fell way short of expectations and missed theplayoffs. Browns general manager Andrew Berry has said he was confident Mayfield would bounce back in 2022 and be the starter. However, it now appears the relationship between Mayfield and the Browns may be broken beyond repair. Cleveland may have to trade for another QB, sign a free agent or draft a prospect. NCAA MEN’S TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP By Jake Seiner AP Baseball Writer FORT MYERS, Fla. — The Boston Red Sox wore St. Patrick’s Day green for their spring debut. Baseball fans might feel luckiest of all. “I’m glad we’re finally starting,” said Red Sox supporter Jeremy Porter, down from Maine for the exhibition opener. When Minnesota sparkplug Byron Buxton dug in against Boston right-hander Michael Feliz at sun-splashed Fenway South, it put baseball’s bitter 99-day lockout a little further back in the rearview mirror. The Twins and Red Sox played the sport’s first spring training game of the year, with three more in Arizona on the calendar Thursday before everyone else opens Friday. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he got a jolt Wednesday when the Twins sent over their roster card. “It feels different,” Cora said. “When we got the lineup from the Twins last night, I was like, ‘Oh, this is real now.’” Spring games were supposed to begin 20 days earlier, but a nasty fight over the sport’s economics plunged baseball into a longer, darker winter than usual. The lockout ended last Thursday, camps began Sunday, and the race toward a delayed April 7 opening day was on. All might not be forgotten or forgiven, but there was joy regardless at Fenway South. Fans arrived early and begged for autographs during batting practice. On the backfields, a father and his young son played catch a few feet away from practicing minor leaguers. The public address announcer noted it was 50 degrees in Boston — “not so bad,” he joked — before reporting a first-pitch temperature of 82 degrees. Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli brought many of his regular hitters on the 20-minute drive across Fort Myers to JetBlue Park — Buxton, Jorge Polanco, Miguel Sanó and new starting catcher Gary Sánchez were all in the starting lineup. Boston sent J.D. Martinez, Rafael Devers and its other stars to the backfields for some extra reps. With 18 spring games left until opening day, they’ll be on the big diamond soon enough. Bobby Dalbec got fans on their feet in the bottom of the first, launching a two-run homer over the replica Green Monster. “It was awesome,” Dalbec said. “Last week I was working on my backyard, putting a fence in. Now I’m back playing, so I’m glad to be out here and not doing yard work.” Players familiar to most fans were long gone by the middle of the eighth, but plenty remained from the crowd of around 8,000 for the first singalong of the year to Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline.” See MLB | 8 Jake Seiner | AP Boston Red Sox’ Jeter Downs waits to bat during a spring training game against the Minnesota Twins Thursday at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Fla.The Boston Red Sox wore St. Patrick’s Day green for their spring debut. Michael Conroy | AP Michigan guard Frankie Collins (10) drives past Colorado State guard Chandler Jacobs (13) during the second half of their first-NCAA tournament game Thursday in Indianapolis. Michigan won 75-63. Collins leads Michigan past Colorado St. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Freshman Frankie Collins provided the spark Michigan needed in a turbulent year for the Wolverines and coach Juwan Howard, helping the 11thseeded Wolverines rally from a 15-point deficit to beat sixth-seeded Colorado State 75-63 on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Collins, pressed into the starting lineup because starting point guard DeVante’ Jones was out with a concussion, had season highs of 14 points, six rebounds and 31 minutes. Big man Hunter Dickinson led Michigan with 21 points on 8-of10 shooting. Eli Brooks had 16 points and Caleb Houstan added 13 for the Wolverines (18-14), who will face either thirdseeded Tennessee or 14th-seeded Longwood in the second round of the South Region on Saturday. Dischon Thomas scored 15 points on 5-of-7 3-point shooting for Colorado State (256), and Mountain West Conference player of the year David Roddy had 13 points and six rebounds. The Rams led 28-13 early, but Collins helped Michigan chip away and the Wolverines took the lead for good midway through the second half.

The fourth-seeded Friars (26-5) advanced to face Iowa or Richmond. It was a typical grind for the Big East regularseason champions. The Friars’ turnaround season after going 13-13 in 202021 now includes 16 victories by single digits. The Jackrabbits (30-6) came in on a 21-game winning streak. The Friars were up three in the final minute and Bynum let loose a 3-pointer with 3 seconds left on the shot clock. The shot missed, but Douglas Wilson was whistled for a foul. Bynum knocked down all three shots to give Providence a sixpoint lead. Bynum finished with 12 points and Noah Horchler had 13 for the Providence.

The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet official. Financial details were not disclosed. Trubisky hopes for restart in Pittsburgh By Will Graves AP Sports Writer PITTSBURGH — Looking back, Mitch Trubisky needed a year to watch from the sideline. To hit reset. To catch a glimpse of what a healthy relationship between a quarterback and coach looked like. To get a feel for the vibe permeating through a building for an organization trying to win at the highest level. When he hit the open market earlier this week, Trubisky had two simple requests: find a place where he’ll have a chance to start, preferably a team where “culture” isn’t an empty catchphrase but an entrenched part of the club’s firmament. Enter Pittsburgh, which rushed to sign the former second overall pick in the NFL draft to a two-year contract this week, giving the 27-year-old a shot at replacing Ben Roethlisberger in the process. There was no selling. Trubisky didn’t have to be sold. “My goal throughout free agency was to find a way to get back on the field,” Trubisky said Thursday, just minutes after his deal with the Steelers became official. “When an opportunity arose to play for coach (Mike) Tomlin and wear a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform, I was so excited. Now I’m ready to roll and get to it.” More like, get back to it. Trubisky arrived in Chicago five years ago with the burden of massive expectations he struggled to shoulder during four wildly uneven seasons. The Bears won games with him under center — his career record is a respectable 29-21 — but it was difficult to decipher at times whether Chicago succeeded because of him or in spite of him. A seemingly turbulent relationship with then-head coach Matt Nagy didn’t help. Trubisky declined to get into specifics about his time with the Bears, describing it as a “learning experience.” “All you can do is continue to work for your future but draw on your past experiences to make sure the future goes better,” he said. “So that’s what I’m hoping to do.” Trubisky spent 2021 serving as the primary backup behind Josh Allen in Buffalo, which he called “a blessing in disguise,” and his description of his time with the Bills is telling of how things disintegrated in Chicago. “I think I learned a lot,” he said. “I was in a great organization and the first thing that I really learned when (I got) to Buffalo is what a great culture feels like and I already feel like that here.” Trubisky steps into the first true open quarterback competition in Pittsburgh in a generation after Roethlisberger retired in January following an 18-year career that included a pair of Super Bowl titles, an appearance in another and a bust in the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, all but assured. Mason Rudolph is the most experienced incumbent, and outgoing general manager Kevin Colbert — who is stepping down after the draft — has made it a point to repeatedly stress the team is comfortable with Rudolph serving as the full-time starter. Whether that happens likely depends on how quickly or how well Trubisky gets a grasp of Matt Canada’s offense. The Steelers were average at best during Canada’s first season as offensive coordinator in 2021. They are bringing him back for a second look and Trubisky’s mobility could give Canada the kind of flexibility the offense lacked with the stationary Roethlisberger. “I’m looking forward to utilizing my dual-threat abilities ... using my legs running to buying more time or running for first downs,” Trubisky said. He will do it behind an offensive line that will have a decidedly different look than the one that allowed 38 sacks and finished 29th in yards rushing last season. The Steelers signed interior offensive linemen Mason Cole and James Daniels in free agency. Daniels spent three seasons blocking for Trubisky in Chicago. The two reconnected in person on Thursday, ready for the real work to begin. “We’ve got a bunch of great guys up front,” Trubisky said. “They’re going to set the tone for this team.” Maybe, but they’ll do it largely in anonymity. Trubisky won’t have that luxury either way. The length of his contract makes this season an extended tryout of sorts. He understands he’s betting on himself in a way and he’s well aware of the skepticism his signing engendered among a fan base that hasn’t endured a losing season in nearly two decades. “Hopefully I just win them over by the way I play on the field,” he said. A level of play he believes will be elevated from what he showed in Chicago. Watching Allen and Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll (now the head coach with the New York Giants) collaborate while helping Buffalo come within seconds of a second consecutive appearance in the AFC title game helped restore his confidence that he can thrive if given the right situation. Asked what he learned with the Bills, Trubisky didn’t hesitate. “(The importance of) communication between QB and play-caller, just the trust,” he said. “When you have great trust and communication between QB and play-caller, you’re able to play free.” A freedom Trubisky is eager to discover in Pittsburgh, even if it comes with the pressure of replacing an icon. “What Ben did here, it was special,” he said. “We want to continue the legacy he started.” NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans released seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones after one season Thursday, designating him as a post-June 1 release to create much-needed salary cap space. The Titans traded for Jones last June, trying to rev up the passing game by pairing the 10-year veteran with A.J. Brown coming off his own Pro Bowl season. But Jones struggled with a hamstring issue that limited him to 10 games, and he had the worst season of his career with 31 catches for 434 yards and one touchdown. This move saves Tennessee approximately $11.3 million in cap space, though the Titans won’t be able to access that until June 1. Jones can sign with another team immediately. Jones, 33, did catch six passes with four going for first downs and 62 yards in the Titans’ divisional loss to Cincinnati. He still ranks first in NFL history in averaging 91.9 yards per game, and Jones ranks 17th all time with 13,330 yards receiving. His 879 receptions rank 25th, and he also has 61 career touchdowns. The receiver is the fifth player the Titans have released trying to clear salary cap space before the new league year started Wednesday and to keep outside linebacker Harold Landry and center Ben Jones off the free agent market. Those two deals are cap friendly, costing the Titans only $8.4 million this season. But Spotrac. com estimated the Titans with $720,675 of cap space. The Titans still need to upgrade their wide receiving group and find a No. 1 tight end among other needs. The Titans also announced they agreed to a multi-year deal with offensive lineman Jamarco Jones. The 6-foot-4, 293-pound Jones played 36 games over four seasons with Seattle. He has started at four different positions on the offensive line, including both tackle and guard spots. The lineman was a fifth-round pick out of Ohio State in the 2018 draft where he started the last 27 games of his college career at left tackle. Bills cut WR Cole Beasley day after signing Von Miller ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Cole Beasley can forget trying to negotiate a trade out of Buffalo now that he’s a free agent after being cut by the Bills on Thursday. The Bills made the move to cut their top slot receiver to free up salary cap space a day after making a huge splash in free agency by signing two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Von Miller to a six-year contract. Beasley’s tenure in Buffalo was already in question with his release coming two weeks after the Bills granted the 10th-year player permission to negotiate a trade. Beasley had one year left on a four-year contract he signed with Buffalo as one of the team’s key free-agent additions in 2019 after spending his first seven seasons in Dallas. His departure further drains Buffalo’s depth at receiver behind Stefon Diggs, with Emmanuel Sanders entering free agency and having yet to determine whether he’ll retire. Gabriel Davis returns for a third season and Buffalo re-signed Isaiah McKenzie to a two-year contract on Monday. Though Beasley finished the season with a career-best-matching 82 catches for a second consecutive year, his production dropped from 967 yards receiving and four touchdowns in 2020 to 693 yards and one TD this past season. He also missed a key game, a 33-21 win over AFC East rival New England on Dec. 26, after being placed on the COVID-19 list.

She last played for her Russian team UMMC Ekaterinburg on Jan. 29 before the league took a two-week break in early February for the FIBA World Cup qualifying tournaments. She was arrested in Moscow upon returning to Russia. Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined a growing contingent of family, friends and officials calling for her release with a “Free Brittney” tweet Wednesday.

The other states whose officials sued are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming. NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal appeals court has revived a Biden administration effort to account for potential damage from greenhouse gas emissions when creating rules for polluting industries. A Louisiana-based federal judge had blocked the so-called “ social cost of carbon ” policy last month, saying it would bring costly regulatory burdens and drive up energy prices. But a panel of three 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judges in New Orleans unanimously stayed the lower court in a ruling dated Wednesday, meaning the administration can continue using the policy while the case goes on. The panel said any regulatory burdens the policy might bring are speculative at this point and that Louisiana and other states challenging the policy therefore had no standing to sue. The social cost of carbon attempts to put a dollar value on damage caused by every additional ton of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere. That cost estimate would be used to shape future rules for oil and gas drilling, 8 AM 2 PM 46° 64° 62° HEALTH TODAY AccuWeather.com Asthma Index™ Temperature The AccuWeather.com Asthma Index combines the effects of current air quality, pollen counts, wind, temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, and changes from past weather conditions to provide a scale showing the overall probability and severity of an asthma attack.

He has to meet this international crisis with bold executive action that speeds the transition to renewable energy and away from dangerous fossil fuels.” Earthjustice senior attorney Hana Vizcarra said the ruling “puts the government back on track to address and assess climate change.” NATIONAL CITIES McArthur 71/55 Lucasville 69/55 Source: Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services 0 50 100 150 200 Chillicothe 71/55 Very High Very High Logan 71/55 Adelphi 71/55 Waverly 70/55 Pollen: 1527 SUNDAY 59° 43° 4 0-2 Low; 3-4 Moderate; 5-6 High; 7-8 Very High; 9-10 Extreme (in inches) SATURDAY A thunderstorm this afternoon; mild.

Those sales and other energyrelated actions were delayed by the administration in response to the Feb. 11 ruling that struck down its social cost of carbon policy. But the appeals court said U.S. District Judge James David Cain, a Trump appointee in Louisiana’s Western district, had gone “outside the authority of the federal courts” in ordering the Biden administration “to comply with prior administrations’ policies on regulatory analysis absent a specific agency action to review…” Republican attorneys general led by Louisiana’s Jeff Landry had challenged the policy. The other states whose officials sued are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming. The panel that ruled Wednesday included judges Leslie Southwick, appointed by President George W. Bush, and James Graves and Gregg Costa, automobiles, and other industries, and a higher estimate could justify more stringent rules. President Joe Biden on his first day in office issued an order that restored the cost estimate to about $51 per ton of carbon dioxide emissions after the Trump administration had reduced the figure to about $7 or less per ton. Former President Donald Trump’s estimate included only damage felt in the U.S. versus the global damage captured in higher estimates that were previously used under the Obama administration. Republicans and business groups have questioned the accuracy of the complex economic models used to derive the cost estimate. They argue that an emphasis on future climate damage would hobble the economy, particularly the energy industry. The carbon cost estimate had not yet been used very much under Biden, but is being considered in a pending envi- TODAY WEATHER both appointed by President Barack Obama. A spokeswoman with the U.S. Department of the Interior said the administration was reviewing the decision. Landry’s office said the decision would be appealed to the full 17-member 5th Circuit. “We strongly disagree with the 5th Circuit’s opinion that we lack standing in Biden’s latest attempt to inject the federal government into the everyday lives of Americans,” the statement said. The White House has been preparing to update its climate damage price tag and it’s expected to increase, perhaps dramatically. Economist Steve Rose said the circuit court ruling does not resolve questions about the reliability of the complex models used to determine damages. “The uncertainty is of course a significant issue, because this kind of modelling is going to model the globe for multiple centuries,” said Rose, a senior economist at the Electric Power Research Institute, a non-profit organization whose membership includes many utilities.
