“The scope of this story, frankly, is hard to get your arms around,” CNN’s Brian Stelter said on his Sunday “Reliable Sources” show. “That is a challenge for newsrooms like this one and many others. Right now, we need clear-eyed, no-nonsense news coverage during this crisis.”

Senator Bill Coleman (R) Ponca City said, “When I look at the statute (đạo luật, quy chế) I cannot get my arms around how this is legal according to state statute that clearly says a person must be deceased at least three years. And I watched the Daytona 500 Sunday and he looked to be alive and kicking quite well.”

“Otherwise, as I mentioned at our last meeting, we will leave $550,000 on the table if we decide to walk,” Gonzales said. “I understand, Mr. Kuckkahn, where you’re looking at these options. I think the council at its last meeting said that they supported moving forward — not all of them — with the regional landfill (bãi rác). It’s a mixed message here, but I understand you’re trying to get your arms around it, and I appreciate you doing that.”
