also it's hilarious that the photo of the supposedly cleared bike lane on lincoln ave that's posted in this article has a mobile traffic sign parked in the middle of it.

great. he should tell us 1) where the bike lane plows are 2) why are they not adhering to the publicly available schedule 3) whether or not they fixing that problem 4) why the sidewalks CDOT is responsible for weren't shoveled either. we don't need a 90s style bill clinton "I feel your pain" bit.

Really good non-answer from Bill Higgins. This PR bullshit newspeak is why a bunch of folks hate the government at all levels.

While I agree Medicare Advantage is not worth it and a bit of a scam, some plans provide a grocery allowance that typically ranges from ~$25 to $200 per month, depending on the plan. So when you suddenly take that away from a number of people, now all those people are struggling to afford food.
