Cities Propose 2027 Budgets With Spending Shifts
Politics
— 6d
Cities are advancing proposed 2027 budgets amid differing financial pressures: Beaver Dam’s $25.26 million plan funds an additional police officer and infrastructure while accounting for higher labor costs and utility-rate increases, while Evanston previewed proposed tax hikes and spending shifts. Colorado Springs, buoyed by stronger-than-expected sales-tax revenue, proposes restoring furlough-affected pay and park-bathroom funding while increasing support for police, fire services and pothole repairs; its budget remains subject to council approval.

Afriski Africa's Alpine Gem Draws Tourists
Travel
— Jul 21, 2026
Afriski Mountain Resort in Lesotho’s Maluti Mountains is the continent’s only fully operational ski destination in sub‑Saharan Africa, relying on high altitude and extensive artificial snowmaking to sustain a 17‑hectare, roughly 1‑kilometer groomed run that draws thousands of visitors, mainly from South Africa, and supports tens of thousands in regional tourism spending and hundreds of jobs. Yet the resort faces climate and resource pressures, including drought and the energy-intensive snowmaking needed to keep slopes open, highlighting the fragile balance between its economic impact and environmental challenges in a warming Southern Hemisphere.
