Over the last four years for good or bad you were the president, and unlike party conscious idiots I tried to give you the respect the office deserves. I defended you when you made stupid statements with no regard about whether they were true or not and were bragging about what a great job you were doing because you were the president. My dad has spent four years worrying that you would be hospitalized after breaking your arm patting yourself on the back. I had some worry when you killed my...

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona's minimum wage has increased from $12 to $12.15 an hour. The law took effect on New Year's Day. In Flagstaff, wages increased to $15 an hour.

Doug Ducey to order that public schools use only distance learning for the next two weeks unless they have waivers from health officials.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — More than 6,500 New Mexico businesses and nonprofits will receive up to $50,000 under a state program created to help companies cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. That's about half of the companies that applied, the Albuquerque Journal reported. "The number (of applications) that we couldn't fund was very hard for us," said Marquita Russel, CEO of the New Mexico Finance Authority, the state agency that administered the program. The state implemented the program as part of a bigger $320 m...
DENVER (AP) — On March 14, Colorado's governor issued an executive order shutting down ski resorts across the state. The coronavirus had arrived and was spreading rapidly in small mountain communities that were attracting hordes of spring break revelers. The next day, with chairlifts and gondolas hanging idly overhead, a large group converged on Aspen Mountain, passed a closure sign and "skinned" up the slopes under their own power to get in a few hard-earned turns. In the following weeks, skiers and snowboarders with nowhere else to go were i...
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — As 2021 begins, health officials and elected leaders in Kansas are reflecting on the lessons learned so far about the coronavirus pandemic. THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR Democratic Gov.

She closed schools in mid-March and late that month issued a statewide stay-at-home order that remained in place for five weeks. A law approved in June by the Republican-controlled Legislature gave the state's 105 counties the authority to opt out of Kelly's o...
NEW YORK (AP) — Tesla's annual sales rose 36%, but the electric car company came short of its annual goal to deliver 500,000 vehicles. The company said Saturday that it delivered 499,500 for the year, including 180,570 SUVs and sedans for the October through December period. CEO Elon Musk set a goal of delivering 500,000 vehicles in 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic hit, and Tesla stuck to that goal even though the virus forced its only U.S. assembly plant to close for several weeks in the spring. In the first nine months of the year, T...

Josh Hawley of Missouri, who was the first to buck Senate leadership by...
MATEWAN, W.Va. (AP) — Researchers trying to save endangered crayfish during bridge construction in southern West Virginia ended up discovering new tricks to increase the population, the Charleston Gazette-Mail reported.
