The Trump Administration hostility to renewable energy hasn't stopped momentum toward a greener future.
The Ute Mountain Ute tribal council is bringing an impressive solar project online, You can read more about it here.
Gov. Jared Polis has signed SB26-040 into law -- a measure put together by our state Rep. Katie Stewart.
The bill makes Colorado's affordable housing funding program more responsive to local realities in rural communities. We have high construction costs, lower wages than the statewide averages, and restricted building markets.
Rep. Stewart worked across the aisle with state Sen. Cleve Simpson to make this happen. They consulted with county commissioners and local housing organizations to expand affordable housing for renters and homeowners in Southwest Colorado, allowing more families in our communities to live where they work without breaking the bank.
The votes have all been counted, and the Colorado GOP will have Victor Marx on the ballot in November as their nominee for governor.
For those just catching up, Marx has an interesting (and somewhat unverifiable) back story. Among other things, he claims he killed someone as a 7-year-old. And he does exorcisms. Over the phone.
Attorney General Phil Weiser met with about 40 constituents on Sept. 10 at Uncle's.
The meeting began on a solemn note. The AG reflected on the death earlier that day of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and delivered a clear message: Political violence is unacceptable.
People at the meeting raised several issues of local concern: affordable housing programs, broadband access, minimum wage requirements.
The AG also addressed worries about ICE activities in our state and questions of due process. He was asked about the town's recent proposed ordinance (since tabled) to require permits, 30 days' notice, and liability insurance for any gathering of more than 25 people. Weiser offered practical advice for citizens who oppose such a law.
