CBS News journalist slams media, says most underreported 2024 story was Biden’s ‘obvious cognitive decline’

By David Propper | New York Post Veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford dinged news organizations for not thoroughly covering President Biden’s “obvious cognitive decline” this year until it became unavoidable during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump over the summer. Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent, insisted stronger reporting on the topic could have changed the entire election as she responded to a question from “Face the Nation” moderator Major Garrett about the most underreported story in 2024. “Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” she said on the Sunday morning show.

Audit finds ongoing misuse of taxpayer funds in Denver’s Technology Services department

By Deborah Grigsby | Colorado Politics, via The Denver Gazette A follow-up audit has revealed ongoing misuse of taxpayer funds within Denver's Technology Services department, stemming from inadequate policies and poor administration of its employee purchase card program.

Potholes persist despite paving progress in Colorado Springs, El Paso County

By Scott Harrison | KRDO-TV Officials in El Paso County and in Colorado Springs say that they're repairing as many as or more potholes than they did last year, even with more streets repaved than ever before.

There are several reasons for the increases: Crews are still catching up from an unusually wet spring and summer of 2023; more potholes are being reported; and officials have more crews on duty to fill the mini-craters.
