AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Nuclear Fuel Race: The U.S. Department of Energy is pushing Centrus Energy, General Matter, and Orano to speed up uranium enrichment buildouts, warning that expiring waivers starting in 2028 could tighten supply for the “nuclear renaissance.” Retail & Jobs: Starbucks says it will close 250 stores across North America, raising alarms for workers facing unclear timelines and short notice. Education Records Fight: Longview School District is in court to block Cowlitz County from releasing emails tied to a Mark Morris High School sexual assault case, arguing for tighter handling of student privacy and attorney-client privilege. Local Governance & Safety: Seattle’s pushback on policing and budget priorities continues as residents weigh in on a police chief search and city leaders face pressure over gun-violence plan rollout. Energy & Policy: Washington’s carbon market alignment with California-Quebec moves forward, while state courts weigh in on initiatives affecting natural gas and broader regulatory direction.
