Image
By Jessica Schultz Pleasant Alaska deployed its first electric school bus in October 2020. It was a collaborative effort between a town in eastern Alaska, Tok in the Tanana Valley, and the Alaska Energy Authority program to provide a $400,000 priced school bus to the local children. When the vehicle is not operating it is charged in a “bus barn”. Solar panels and the local utility company are presently the suppliers of energy to the bus barn.

 Will Project Veritas exist without the public image of Project Veritas? By Jessica Schultz Pleasant On February 20, 2023, fans of former CEO of Project Veritas James O’Keefe were shocked by the news O’Keefe would be resigning as CEO of Project Veritas. After breaking one of the largest medical stories in history involving Pfizer and their vaccine developments, O’Keefe was forced out of the organization he founded in his father’s New York garage, in 2010. O’Keefe released a video explaining how events unfolded behind the scenes. O’Keefe was secretly removed from his position by the organization’s board while on paid time leave.

The programs are seen by some as using positive buzz words, to disguise racism and allowing for sexually explicit conversations with children.

According to Fox News , the school board in attendance included members Carl Jacobs, Pat Higgins, Margo Bellamy, Kelly Lessen, Dora Wilson, Dave Donley and Andy Holleman.
