Supreme Court deadlock upholds clean air policy

The ruling affirms a lower court decision on preexisting air quality protections under the Clean Air Amendments of 1970. Endorsed actions include staying the litigation and upholding environmental groups led by the Sierra Club.

Rehearing sought on Capital City Water rate rise
State High way Commission attorney Robert L Hyder asked the Public Service Commission for a rehearing of the Capital City Water Co rate increase. He argues the 25.08 percent raise was unjustified and urges the company to start repaying a parent loan at a lower 6 percent rate. The PSC had approved a 205 147 annual revenue increase, with customers paying about 1 34 more per year. The hearings followed a year of investigation into the request and ongoing concerns over financing methods.

Taos withholds revenue sharing funds may return check
Taos Mayor Joe Rackers says the city will not spend its revenue sharing funds this year and may send back the 117 dollar check after legal advertising. Only 45 dollars remain usable as the city has no budgeted expense for the money and council banks the funds in a separate account while awaiting federal guidance. Wardsville has not received a revenue check and Henley has one but no active officials to spend it.
