PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES ARE OVER: Well the debates are over as presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump took the stage for the second and final time Thursday night at Belmont University. While there were no real surprises from the discussion topics and the debate was less chaotic than the first, still lies, obfuscation and deceptions seeped in. If you want to relive it or just want an overview of what went down, check out these news outlet stories. Factcheck.org reports both candidates repeated talking points from the stump and added some new twists on the facts. NPR provided live updates and fact checks during Thursday's debate, breaking down each candidate's attacks on policy. The Associated Press (AP) goes through the candidates' false statements, which started right out of the gate. ANOTHER COVID-19 POSITIVE: A day after Montrose County School District announced a bus driver tested positive for COVID-19 and 30 students had to quarantine, another bus cohort has been quarantined after a second transportation staff member tested positive. EVICTION BAN: Gov. Jared Polis on Wednesday issued an executive order banning landlords in Colorado from evicting tenants who can prove financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic. The order does not relieve tenants from rental obligations, but prohibits landlords from seeking eviction proceedings from tenants who can prove "financial hardship due to COVID-19." To prove this, individuals must meet the following criteria: — Best efforts to obtain government assistance for housing or rent — Unable to pay full rent/full housing payment due to substantial loss of household income — Tenant expects to earn no more than $99,000 in annual income for 2020 (or no more than $198,000 on a jointly filed tax return); not required to report any income in 2019 to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service received Economic Impact Payment under the federal CARES Act — Best efforts to make timely partial payments that are close to full payment — On verge of homelessness or forced to move into shared living/congregate setting if there are no other available housing options
