‘It's $410K': Calgary chief administrative officer's annual salary to be made public after vote

Yahoo3 days ago
At Tuesday's city council meeting, the City of Calgary's chief administrative officer told council he makes $410,000 in annual base salary. Council voted unanimously to disclose the CAO's exact salary each year moving forward. Until now, only the CAO's minimum and maximum salary range was publicly available. As the CBC's Acton Clarkin reports, council's discussion has opened the door to further conversations about a "sunshine list" for municipal employees.

Smithsonian to restore Trump to impeachment exhibit ‘in the coming weeks'

The Smithsonian said on Saturday that it would restore information about President Donald Trump's two impeachments to an exhibit in the National Museum of American History 'in the coming weeks.' The Washington Post reported on Thursday that in July, the museum removed a placard describing Trump's impeachments and reverted the exhibit to how it looked in 2008. That display says that 'only three presidents have seriously faced removal' — Andrew Johnson, Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton.

Trump's Rose Garden redesign is in. And critics aren't impressed

Pictures of Donald Trump's new redesign of the White House's historic rose garden are in – and social media users are not impressed. Official pictures of the completed refurb project emerged Saturday. The colorful and meticulously maintained green space has now been paved over with white concrete, topped with several items of garden furniture. 'Trump turned Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden into a parking lot. Sad day for history and nature,' wrote one user on X, reacting to the images. 'Looks awful. Devoid of life. Just more concrete in the concrete jungle. Could have at least interlaid brick or some sort of designed pattern,' added another. Another user wrote: '[Trump] has no sense of beauty, poetry, or music, no sense of national pride, no wit, no knowledge, no humanity, only narcissism and ignorance.' 'The fact that he turned the rose garden into f***ing cement is such a perfect metaphor for everything these people do,' wrote a fourth user. Another was more blunt with their assessment. 'Looks like complete dogs***,' they wrote. Even Grok, the AI chatbot feature of the Elon Musk-owned social media platform X, was unimpressed. Responding to a user asking what it thought, Grok replied: 'It looks ugly. 'The excessive paving turns an iconic garden into a sterile plaza, stripping away the natural charm and vibrancy that defined the Rose Garden. Functionality over beauty isn't always progress.' Trump's plan to uproot the garden and replace it with a stone patio – similar to one he has at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida – was first reported by The New York Times in February. The images emerged after the White House on Thursday announced that construction on a massive, new $200 million ballroom will begin in September and be ready before Trump's term ends in early 2029. It will be the first structural change to 'The People's House' since the addition of the Truman balcony in 1948. Elsewhere, Trump has substantially redecorated the Oval Office through the addition of golden flourishes and cherubs, presidential portraits and other items, and installed massive flagpoles on the north and south lawns to fly the American flag.
