Good morning, everyone! I hope you had a fabulous Christmas break. The countdown starts for the legislative session, though most things will stay relatively quiet until after the New Year. In the meantime . . .

• Governor Hickenlooper and Senator Bennet are running neck and neck for President (although it seems like Hickenlooper is taking it more seriously) – but even though they’re close in the pack, they’re still toward the back. 
• Could a Coloradan be the next to run Department of Interior? 
• Digging in on the Convention Center bidding scandal – those emails sure look like an unfair advantage. 

And just in case you missed it – a national story – I thought this quick read from the Wall Street Journal on how the media undermines itself when covering Trump was worth a minute of time.
