LOL, J/K

Remember when Ed Perlmutter said he would stand against Nancy Pelosi? LOL, j/k. Democrats have decided that Agriculture no longer gets its own committee . . . it will now be known as "rural affairs." As if all the issues in rural Colorado are agricultural issues. It demonstrates how out-of-touch they are. The vote and ballot issues in

UGH more plastic bag ban ridiculousness. The Colorado Springs Gazette editorializes against CNN's ridiculous question of John Hickenlooper.There's weird virtue signaling, then there's this insanity from some CU Regents.

Bye Cousin Eddie?

Mayor Hancock has halted the bidding process for the convention center expansion because it looks like there was some shady dealing with the process and that at least one contractor was given inside information. These new sales tax rules could be really tough on Colorado retailers - especially small businesses who don't have a huge infrastructure to calculate

Funyuns

The Boulder City Council is threatening to use the power of eminent domain to just take Xcel's equipment in the city if they won't sell it "in good faith." This is the equivalent of offering to pay for a bag of Funyuns while holding up a convenience store.Our friend Allen Fuller was featured in ColoradoPolitics.comAre Hickenlooper's immutable

The search for the new DPS Superintendent has cost more than the next four districts . . . combined. The Colorado GOP has filed a criminal complaint against an incoming freshman state Rep. George H.W. Bush sponsored a child through a Colorado charity, Compassion International.

Right choice

Sen. Daniel Kagan made the right decision for the women of the state Senate in stepping down. There have been threats, student walkouts, and lockouts in a Weld County School District. It looks like a mess. There's a lot of money in campaign finance filing fines outstanding in Colorado.

Nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, buh bye

Well, in a lengthy letter (j/k not really) Sen. Daniel Kagan has decided to resign his position in the Senate. This whole "Hickenlooper running for President" thing is real real, y'all.  The COGCC is looking at new rulemaking around schools and playgrounds.

Smoke ’em if you got ’em

The Feds are now pushing back against Denver's idea for "safe injection" sites comparing them to "crack houses."  The town of Fruita is banning smoking in public places.  Former Speaker Frank McNulty has added even more substance to his complaint against Governor Hickenlooper.

Hoisted on his own letter

A letter, published by CPR, written by Rep. Melton to one of the women he assaulted at the time right after he broke her tailbone makes it clear he needs to own up to his behavior - and thus far - he hasn't. Open enrollment time is a stressful time across the state, but especially in Colorado's
