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.
