I'm excited to share we've recently renewed our Water Transfer Agreement with the Roosevelt Water Conservation District (@rwcdaz).
This important partnership will provide a reliable water supply to our residents and businesses from the Salt and Verde Rivers for years to come.

You don’t typically see them. Many work out of sight and out of mind. You often only hear about them when a problem arises. But approximately 1.7 million people make up our water workforce in the U.S. to ensure you have safe, clean, water. Proud to be one.

Good morning to readers.
Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Please RT this thread. It’s an important one.
Some news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically cut the org's workforce.

Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

Tough for Republicans to solve their House problem, because it means admitting that liberals were kinda right—they elevated people of bad character who fight for the sake of fighting—and the GOP’s organizing principle went from conservatism to whatever liberals say must be wrong.

For the sake of clarity, “follow your heart” is a guiding principle we learned from Disney movies not from the Bible. The good news isn’t that the answer’s inside of you.
It sounds cute until we seriously reflect on the lost and dark places our “hearts” have led us in the past.

"As reported by The Globe and Mail, residents spent a total of $181 million at curbside patios within 13 weeks of summer in 2021. If those spaces had remained dedicated to parking, only $3.7 million would have been reaped during the same time period."

I must be doing something right if I’m being “attacked” for wanting to: keep people safe from gun violence, keep the government out of the doctor’s office, support ALL families, build a functioning border (stop talking, act), and support adequately funded public schools. #AZ05

ALT Reverse Freedom Ride: Negro Family On Way Here A Negro couple and their eight children were placed on a Trenton-bound bus in Shreveport, La., this morning by the White Citizens' Council of Louisiana. The family of Alan Gilmore - the first "reverse Freedom Riders" to this city - were scheduled to arrive at the Perry Street bus terminal here at 4:20 a.m. on Sunday. The children range in age from eight months to 10 years. Charles Barnett, president of the White Citizens' Council, said the Gilmore family would 'look up Nicholas Katzenbach in Trenton.' He apparently referred to Nicholas deBelleville Katzenbach, deputy U.S. Attorny General. Katzenbach was in charge of the marshalls on the University of Mississippi campus when James Meredith enrolled there last fall....
