Thousands Of Protesters Gather As Trump Heads To His Ny Home

[...] police had stationed sand-filled sanitation trucks as barriers around Trump's signature skyscraper and layers of metal police barricades around the main entrance. A maze of barricades and checkpoints were manned by scores of uniformed police officers under the supervision of a mobile command center. The security precautions have been lessened somewhat in his absence but still have inconvenienced residents and business owners in the highly trafficked area, home to stores such as Tiffany and Louis Vuitton. Trump, under pressure after initially condemning what he called an "egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides," on Monday declared that "racism is evil" and described members of the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and white supremacists who take part in violence as "criminals and thugs."

  • Colorado lawmakers will drop plans to remake RTD’s board — for now — after facing blowback
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 04/17/2024 - 08:45 PM

    Colorado lawmakers are abandoning plans to overhaul the Regional Transportation District’s governing board and change how its members are selected after transit officials blasted the plan. Reps. William Lindstedt and Meg Froelich said Wednesday that they are still set to pursue other RTD reforms through House Bill 1447. But they said they plan to drop the bill’s most contentious provision: a plan to eventually cut the board’s size down from 15 elected, voting members to seven voting members — with five elected and two appointed by the governor. Froelich and Lindstedt told fellow legislators they wanted to further discuss board reform over the coming months. “We ultimately feel that those sections of the bill should come out, and we will want a longer process,” said Froelich, an Englewood Democrat.
