🗳️ President Biden Ends Re-Election Campaign
If you haven't heard, last night President Biden has decided not to run for re-election in 2024. He plans to focus on completing his current term and will address the nation later this week to provide more details.
🔥 Fire Strikes Mexican Restaurant Near UCCS
Last night (Sunday), a fire broke out at Señor Manuel, a Mexican restaurant near the UCCS, prompting a major response from the Colorado Springs Fire Department. The fire, which started around 9:00pm, caused significant damage but resulted in no injuries. Firefighters quickly arrived and controlled the blaze by 9:46. North Nevada was closed during the emergency response, and an investigation into the cause of the fire is underway.
📈 CSU Plans 45% Utility Rate Hike by 2030
Colorado Springs Utilities is proposing a five-year plan to incrementally increase utility rates, potentially raising bills by 45% by 2030. The plan, which aims to meet state clean energy mandates and support community growth, includes annual rate hikes from 2025 to 2029. If approved, average monthly bills could increase from $245.22 to $362.81. The proposal will undergo City Council readings in August and November, with finalization expected after audits in September. Full Story
