Environmentalists sue over river channelization plan
A New Mexico environmental group and allies filed suit in Phoenix to stop rechanneling the Gila River in southwestern Arizona arguing the Army Corps of Engineers failed to complete an adequate environmental impact statement and consider alternatives. The Wellton Mohawk district estimates 73 million in repairs to prevent future floods while critics warn of impacts to species including the Southwestern willow flycatcher bald eagle yellow billed cuckoo and Gila topminnow. The Corps has issued a permit to proceed pending court action and the river remains managed to drain a flood control reservoir.

Seniors warned against con artists in home repairs

They pressure with fears of imminent danger, offer low prices with leftover materials, and may begin work then demand more money before finishing. The BBB logged nearly 10 000 inquiries and 213 complaints last year.
