It’s also debating—passionately—a plan to install wind turbines just outside of town. My personal favorite suggestion: “please camoflage with blue!!!” Get on it, guys (Photo: Tim Murphy).

FACT:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaire owners wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.

Today, reader support makes up about two-thirds of our budget, allows us to dig deep on stories that matter, and lets us keep our reporting free for everyone. If you value what you get from Mother Jones, please join us with a tax-deductible donation today so we can keep on doing the type of journalism 2021 demands.
