The second thing President Donald Trump’s new chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Andrew Ferguson, did on assuming his duties was to withdraw requests for public comments on FTC information-gathering dockets about corporate “surveillance pricing” online. “Predatory pricing,” and other shady tactics had been a focus of the Commission under Biden’s chairwoman Lina Khan, who initiated the requests for comments […]
OPINION: A steady mission through changing challenges within the Upper Gunnison River Basin

Jul 7, 2024 | montrosepress.com | George Sibley

Everyone in the valleys of the Upper Gunnison River watersheds who love our rivers and streams probably has a favorite place for seeing the work of the Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District — although we might not know that is what we are seeing.

The Gunnison City Council discussed the 25 miles of city irrigation ditches at a recent work session for next year’s budget.
