Ever since I was a child, I have noticed that low-income rentals often have something in common – broken or boarded up windows and ripped down curtains with aluminum foil or blankets in their place. You can put poverty behind four walls, but you really can’t hide the mess no matter how hard you try.

The Denver City Council awarded The Salvation Army another $8 million contract Monday to run the Tamarac Family Shelter for people experiencing homelessness. Council members Shontel Lewis and Flor Alvidrez voted against the contract. Lewis said while the Salvation Army has made some “long overdue” promises, nothing in the contract holds them accountable to data-driven metrics. “We can’t just throw money around to solve a problem.” She added the city needs to “bake into every contract” data expectations that will be used to hold the agency accountable. She said outcomes ought to be evaluated by using “accurate, easy to understand information.”

Growing cucumbers is one of my favorite things to do in the summer. They are easy to grow and everyone in my family loves to eat them. When it comes to gardening and preserving, few delights are as universally cherished as the cucumber. This versatile vegetable offers the freshest crunch in salads and the tangiest bite in pickles. It's no wonder cucumbers have earned their place as a staple in home gardens, thanks to their versatility and ease of growth.

Topline: Taxpayers are asking Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) to put his money where his mouth is — or rather, give back the money. Kelly’s family-owned car dealership recently received a $315,000 grant to build solar panels through President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, even though Kelly said the law was “loaded with bad policy and wasteful spending.”
