Extra city bucks likely headed to pothole repairs

 

Great news with some much needed pothole repairs coming soon!  Follow the link for some more details:

Navigating the streets of Colorado Springs can be a jarring experience for motorists, not only when they hit one of countless potholes but also when they get the bill for an alignment.

Relief is on the way.

The city’s budget office reported Monday that 2010 revenues came in $9.25 million higher than budgeted and expenses came in $9.35 million lower.

While most of the surplus will go into reserves, the city plans to pour $390,000 more into pothole repairs this year.

Daylight Savings Time Begins on March 13

 

Daylight savings time is coming up this weekend.  Don’t forget to set your clocks forward!

Every year, daylight savings time seems to take people by surprise. In the United States, daylight savings time begins on March 13 at 2 a.m. local time except in parts of Arizona and Hawaii. As the popular saying goes, clocks need to "spring forward" to observe the change. In other words, clocks need to be set ahead by one hour when the clock strikes 2 a.m.
