Nameplate prank goes south in a swirlie of revenge
Rep. Cory Gardner, a Yuma Republican known for his sharp wit and ready quips, appears to have himself a new office at the Capitol.
It’s got its own sink and a mirror, plus a dandy of a throne to sit on. No desk, though. Or computer.
The nameplate from Gardner’s desk at the Capitol was affixed to the second-floor men’s room door Thursday afternoon. It seems Gardner brought the prank on himself when he rearranged all of his colleague’s nameplates in the maze of desks known as the Republican bullpen.
“The next thing I know,” Gardner said, “I’ve been relocated. They gave me the royal flush suite.”

Senate OKs rebate mandate for rural electric co-ops.
The Senate gave final approval to a measure that requires rural electric cooperatives and municipal-owned utilities to give credit to homeowners who generate their own renewable power. The net-metering (House Bill 1160) bill applies to providers with 5,000 or more customers.
It now heads back to the House because of changes made by the Senate.
