Letters: Bidirectional EVs | Trump’s grip | ‘Sweetheart deal’ | Jury’s say | Targeting TB | Bad for Starbucks

Submit your letter to the editor via this form. Read more Letters to the Editor.State shouldn’t forcebidirectional EVsRe: “State should require EVs to power homes, businesses” (Page A6, June 14).Now that state Sen. Nancy Skinner and the politicians in Sacramento have given us about the highest prices in the country for inadequate and unreliable electricity, she wants to jack up the price of EVs to make up for the state’s crummy electric system.She fails to mention the huge cost to modify building wiring to do this, and that an EV can’t power a whole house without draining the EV. This will only make sense for a tiny handful of relatively wealthy people.Rather than politicians dictating how to build EVs, let EV manufacturers decide if there is enough demand to warrant bidirectional charging on every vehicle and if not, then those who want it can pay for the option.And the answer to Skinner’s flimsy excuses for our unreliable grid is to fix the grid, not force people...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:03:24 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Buck Showalter’s solution for his struggling New York Mets seems simple enough.“Win,” the manager said. “It’s not complicated.”So far, not much has worked out. The Mets fell a season-worst eight games under .500 after Joey Wiemer hit a go-ahead, two-run homer to straightaway centerfield in the sixth inning that lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 2-1 victory on Monday night.New York, which won 101 games and shared the NL East title last year in Showalter’s first season, is 35-43 despite entering the season with a major league record $355 million payroll. The Mets have lost seven of nine and are 6-15 since completing a three-game sweep of Philadelphia on June 1 — their most recent series win.“It’s always about now and the heck with what happened last year or or last week or tonight,” Showalter said. “You’ve got to get it fixed.”Francisco Lindor hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth for the Mets, who trail NL East-leading Atlanta by 16 games and are 8 1/2 games back of...

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Andy Ibañez and Jake Rogers homered for the Detroit Tigers, who overcame the early departures of their first two pitchers to beat the AL West-leading Texas Rangers 7-2 on Monday night in the opener of a four-game series. Tigers starter Matthew Boyd and reliever Will Vest were already hurt and out of the game before Ibañez hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the third inning for a 4-1 lead. Rogers added a two-run shot with two outs in the sixth to chase Texas starter Andrew Heaney (5-5).Rookie Mason Englert (3-2), the third of six Detroit pitchers who combined for 16 strikeouts, allowed one run over 2 1/3 innings.

Dangerous intersection crash changed motorcyclist's life

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) -- The Problem Solvers have received several tips about signal issues at 30th Avenue and Peoria Street in Aurora due to an RTD network communication failure. RTD said those problems have been fixed, but not before a serious crash that landed a motorcyclist in the hospital. On June 2, David Spivack said he was on his motorcycle crossing the streets when a car pulled out into the intersection and hit him.   Colorado renters make half what it would take to afford a starter home “I was heading north. I continued in normal traffic and someone decided that they were going to ignore the left turn red signal,” Spivack said. “They just pulled right into the intersection." Spivack said he sustained several injuries including a broken sternum, a collapsed lung, a broken pelvis and a broken wrist. “I was a very active guy and this upsets my entire life,” Spivack said. He’s recovering at the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and hopes sharing his story wil...
