Electricians to vote Sunday on tentative contract
Electrical workers will vote Sunday at 1 p.m. on a tentative contract agreement reached by their union and contractor representatives after a long bargaining session that ended Thursday. No details were released. The union workers have been on strike since June 10 and their contract expired June 1 but they continued to work under a 10 day cooling off period. Pickets at construction sites had ceased, enabling other work to continue, though some projects now need electrical work to proceed.

Energy board fight shapes energy mobilization debate
House Democrats debate the scope of a proposed energy mobilization board. Some prefer limiting the board to speeding up preconstruction decision making while others push for authority to override laws to accelerate construction. Brademas notes a split between supporters of a synthetic fuels program and concerns over water use and environmental impact. The vote, once expected before the August recess, likely won’t occur until after Labor Day.
