McCain's Water Deal Stance Unbelievable
Journal North Opinion
John McCain set off a firestorm last week when he suggested that the 86-year-old agreement that allocates the scarce resource of the Colorado River among the seven states of the Colorado Basin “obviously needs to be renegotiated” because of “new realities of high growth, of greater demands on a scarcer resource.” He didn't mean it should, you know, be renegotiated, really, to make sure high growth states of California, Nevada, and Arizona got more of that scarce resource.

Velarde Elementary Sets High Standard
Velarde Elementary School is 95 percent Hispanic, and almost three-quarters of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.
