The federal government will pay Colorado $5 million to clean contamination left behind by mines in southwest Colorado, particularly from the 2015 Gold King Mine spill, which released a yellow plume of heavy metals into the Animas River, the Colorado Attorney General’s Office announced.The Colorado Natural Resources Damages Trustees approved the settlement — the latest in a series of payouts following the spill – Thursday morning.Federal liability in the contamination comes from the fact that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials triggered the 3-million-gallon Gold King Mine spill.

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:43:03 GMT

A group of congressional Republicans wants the no-fly zone designations for Disneyland and Walt Disney World removed, saying in part that no theme park should receive “special treatment just because they are well-connected.”The bill, formally known as the Airlines Independent of Restrictions Act or AIR Act, was reintroduced by U.S. Rep. Troy E. Nehls, a Republican from Texas, who first introduced the bill in 2022.The bill would direct the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, to rescind the no-fly zone designations over the domestic Disney theme parks, which were given to the parks after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.“Theme parks like Disney should not receive special treatment just because they are well-connected. Our national security should not be compromised to fit the needs of one corporation,” Nehls said in a statement.KTLA reached out to the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World about the proposed bill but has not heard back.In 2022, Nehls accused Buttigieg and for...

“It’s a marathon, word to nip hussle” Jamal Cristopher says, referring to a motto made famous by Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle, who tragically lost his life in 2019. “I live by that” he says. “You learn so much about yourself, your journey if you just keep going”Over the years Jamal Cristopher has gained a bit of a following on social media and he attributes most of that to merely being his self. “I used to do music and that was a big part of it. It never took off but I had a few fans that really supported me from all over. They’re still there listening to my music all the time. But I learned that music might not be my path.
