Roughly 2,000 Denver families may soon receive one-time cash payments under a $3 million program being considered by the City Council primarily to help immigrant families impacted by the pandemic.A council committee gave initial approval to the program last week, setting it up for a full vote before the body later this month.The program would provide payments of between $1,000 and $1,500 to low-income families impacted by COVID-19 with at least one juvenile child at home and who meet other qualifications, like housing insecurity or living in certain areas of the city.

Most notable are playoff contenders Baltimore and Arizona, both with miserable 52-110 records in 2021. Two years from now in 2025, what’s there to believe that the Rockies can turn things around and become a winner?— Dom, LongmontDom, I was curious to see which teams were worse than the Rockies in 2021.

Pero el estridente acto en Pickens también demostró el poder duradero de su personalidad y su salvaje at...
