QUID HAS HEARD that even though regime change at city hall has been considered a respite by some city employees, not everything is exactly ducky there. Seems a loose goose has got just about everyone on the run trying to get in the front door. The goose camps out somewhere in the front of the city’s HQ and honks for fun at people trying to get inside. At least this city hallster isn’t full of crap, seeing how he, or she, seems to have expelled all of that all over the front steps. No word on whether the goose might be undocumented from Canada and how ICE might handle the situation.
AND QUID HAS HEARD that the party’s over in Aurora Public Schools these days. Seems pesky reporter types at Channel 7 have been poking through receipts at local school districts, a favorite pastime of TV and newspaper hacks alike. While digging, reporters turned up purchases in APS and other schools making it look like the party’s raging on the public’s dime, including DC dinners at Ruth Chris’ Steak House and a staff event at Dave and Busters. APS super duper John Barry says he’s looking into the party pack and will get back with everyone.
AND QUID HAS HEARD that investing in a car-alignment shop in Aurora is likely to be a lucrative choice. Seems the City of Denver and state highway department have been colluding on what to do to fix the non-problem of elevated I-70 north of Downtown Denver. For decades, the stupidly built highway has been causing traffic trouble through neighborhoods nobody cared about in the 1950s, and a few more people do now. So the answer is? $1 billion dollars. That’s right, for the amount of money it would cost to fix all the I-70 problems from Denver to the ski areas and back, state and Denver folks want to bury a mile or two of I-70 so they can build a park on top of this big dig and make the fabulous neighborhoods surrounding the Purina dog food factory the next Cherry Creek North. The consequences for you and yours truly would be not one dime for roads anywhere else in the state. Get ready for pothole purgatory folks, and set plenty of money aside for wheel-alignments.
And that’s all the news that fits.
