Potholes persist despite paving progress in Colorado Springs, El Paso County

By Scott Harrison | KRDO-TV Officials in El Paso County and in Colorado Springs say that they're repairing as many as or more potholes than they did last year, even with more streets repaved than ever before. County crews have patched 12,000 potholes, 3,000 more than last year; city crews have repaired more than 92,000 -- which may fall just short of two recent years with a record of over 100,000. There are several reasons for the increases: Crews are still catching up from an unusually wet spring and summer of 2023; more potholes are being reported; and officials have more crews on duty to fill the mini-craters.

CDPHE temporarily suspends water testing at state lab after second chemist found manipulating data

By Sadie Buggle | KRDO-TV ABC 13 The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) announced it will be temporarily suspending water testing at the State Laboratory after an investigation revealed a second chemist manipulated water quality control data. This new case was discovered while the agency was investigating another chemist's work in the state water lab, which CDPHE said was found to have been intentionally manipulated. According to our Denver news partners, the investigation led to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revoking a testing certification for the lab. Both instances of data manipulation contributed to lapses in testing for certain metals in water, CDPHE said. READ THE FULL STORY AT KRDO-TV ABC 13

Monument has spent more than $100,000 in taxpayer funds in ‘political’ legal battle

By Quinn Ritzdorf | KRDO.com A legal battle between the Monument mayor and a private attorney has cost taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars and it's still not over. More than 17 months after Monument Mayor Mitch LaKind filed a state complaint against private attorney Grant Van Der Jagt, the Colorado Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel said the complaint is still pending. “I think the town needs to know how our money is being spent,” LaKind said. “Being that we have spent over $100,000 in legal fees on top of the $25,000 that was paid via the (legal) engagement, the town people have a right to know what this attorney and his law firm and those that supported his engagement cost.” READ THE FULL STORY AT KRDO.COM

About 7 in 10 say the same about local property taxes, while roughly 6 in 10 feel that way about state sales tax. Generally speaking, Republicans are more likely than Democrats to view taxes as unfair, to say they are paying too much in taxes, and to see taxes as a poor value. READ FULL ARTICLE ON KRDO.COM
