Following weeks of heavy rainfall, Aurora city leaders expect to roll back drought restrictions that called for a surcharge on residents’ and business owners’ water bills if they watered their lawns more than twice per week. Water officials cautioned though that the situation is constantly evolving, citing the way Aurora’s reservoirs are replenished outside of city limits. “While we are not at our needed 75% of storage quite yet, both the weather and runoff projections are looking positive for the next couple of weeks and odds of needing to continue drought restrictions into July are minimal,” Aurora Water General Manager Marshall Brown told them in an email. As of June 6, Aurora’s reservoirs were filled to 68% capacity, and the City Council will consider a resolution June 28 to remove the city’s “Stage 1 Drought” restrictions on outdoor water use. The restrictions limited residents, multifamily units and commercial properties to watering their lawns twice a week, rather than three, starting May 1, or they would have to pay higher bills.

  • DEA Nominee Out For Actually Enforcing Covid Restrictions
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 12/04/2024 - 07:48 AM

    Trump’s nominee to run the DEA has withdrawn from consideration after MAGAt lawmakers objected to him (you'll love this) for enforcing COVID restrictions seriously during the height of the pandemic in 2020. Via HuffPost: Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister, a Florida Republican, said in a statement Tuesday that he had decided to drop out after the “gravity of this very important responsibility set in.” “To have been nominated to serve as Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration is the honor of a lifetime,” Chronister said in a statement.

  • Rep. Crockett: Americans Tired Of Dems Bringing ‘Butter Knife’ To Fight
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 12/04/2024 - 07:48 AM

    I don’t know why any Democrat would allow President Joe Biden’s pardon of son Hunter to turn into any kind of controversy. Even if they disagree with the decision, any media discussion about it only distracts from the cabinet of unqualified horrors Trump wants to put in charge of life-and-death departments.

    As we know, Pete Hegseth has some big problems with his nomination to head up the Defense Department, what with the out-of-control drinking, a rape accusation, and financial mismanagement that left his veterans organization broke. Things are so bad, they're doing an interview today (on Fox News. Not like a real interview!) to try to rescue his nomination.

  • Your Little Golden Book Of Trump's Terrible Pardons
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 12/04/2024 - 07:46 AM

    The media is currently clutching its pearls over President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter, saying President-elect Donald Trump will use Biden’s act of clemency to justify bad pardons once he takes office again. Politico declared Biden’s pardon “a rich gift to those who want to blow up the justice system as we know it,” while The New York Times said Biden’s act “will inevitably muddy the political waters as Mr.
