While Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze will carry the burden of expectations for this latest Chicago Bears draft class, there is another with pressure on him as well. That is Austin Booker. Though the Kansas alum is only a 5th round pick, he was also the only notable addition the Bears have made at the edge rusher position. Unless that changes, it means they will be leaning on him a lot to pick up the slack across from Montez Sweat. One would think this would be a bit overwhelming for the rookie.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

I recently had a conversation with a legislator about the work done on property tax relief this year. As he campaigns for reelection, this lawmaker is often hearing from constituents about rising property taxes and their frustration about government inaction. However, the Legislature has not been inactive on this issue. In the most recent legislative session, lawmakers passed four separate bills addressing property taxes, each of which will provide substantial relief. In his conversations with constituents, the legislator has been urging patience, rightly noting that legislation is not an overnight fix and that overreacting now would cause greater problems in the future.

Patience is key to addressing Wyoming’s challenges, like property taxes
