Right now its green because of recent rain. In a month this will be brown. All of the homes. Supply is getting low. Already on military showers. Minimal use. Reporter in the past, this community has used meter system at nearby fire hydrants. But now, the utility district is putting an end to that. So we cannot take mud out of the Water District.

The cbo. It is very clear that repealing the Affordable Care act will actually increase the deficit and it is acknowledged in here by accepting a point of order on anything that increases the deficit as a result of the Affordable Care act. We need honesty and budgeting. If this budget repeals the Affordable Care act all the services for 16. 4 million men and women children who receive health care for the first time maybe other and we know that repealing miss will increase the deficit and we need to be honest about it.
