Expert says MAPS 3 park contamination 'not that bad'

BY WILLIAM CRUM, Staff WriterSoil and groundwater contamination in upper sections of the MAPS 3 downtown park are “not that bad,” a geologist working on cleanup plans said Wednesday. “We were pretty pleased we didn’t find anything more dramatic,” Joe Foster told a park advisory committee. Foster’s company, Enercon, has studied the 40-acre site stretching from near Myriad Botanical Gardens to Interstate 40 between Robinson and Hudson Avenues. He said the 10-square-block area has been home to oil storage facilities, warehouses, printing plants, filling stations, and auto, truck and tractor repair shops. A large post office facility was in the area, along with auto paint shops, lumber yards and roofing companies.Read more on NewsOK.com

    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 03:12 PM

    Twice impeached and four times indicted, former President Donald Trump issued a desperate plea for help to his Republican allies on Truth Social amid his hush-money case. Trump wrote at 2:00 AM, so he isn't getting much sleep. It shouldn't be called a hush-money case, though, since it's about Donald interfering in the 2016 election.

If the former president is too big a liability to get a job at a local mall, he is too big a liability to lead the United States.

The potential emerging trend was first spotted by The Washington Post's Aaron Blake. In the NBC poll, Biden trailed Trump by 2 points in the head-to-head matchup, 44% to 46%.

    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 11:44 AM

    This morning, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a case brought by the state of Idaho, which wants the nation’s highest court to rule that its abortion ban preempts federal law when it comes to emergency abortion care. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, known as EMTALA, requires that hospitals receiving Medicare funding provide stabilizing care for all ER patients—including abortion care, even if it conflicts with a state’s own stricter abortion rules. Enter Idaho.
