SB280 offers millions to tech giants—some say it’ll leave ratepayers holding the bill

With the help of generous corporate tax breaks, the state of Virginia has built up a data center industry that’s the envy of some Colorado lawmakers.

The tax incentives helped bring Virginia over $9 billion in economic investments and some 75,000 jobs. In some communities, data centers make up as much as a third of the local tax base.

But in the wake of a 2024 state audit detailing the growing environmental and financial costs for Virginia residents, public officials there have growing doubts over whether those jobs were worth the price.

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Local, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , ,

It was more than just another Tuesday morning at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado—it was a full-on Turning Point. Nearly 50 students, faculty, and guests gathered for the official launch of Valor’s new Turning Point USA chapter, and let’s just say, the energy was more electric than a Bronco game on a Sunday afternoon.

Gabby Reichardt, the Rockies High School Field Representative for Turning Point USA, called the launch a personal milestone. “I’m super proud to have a chapter at Valor as my alma mater and it was definitely a target school of mine for a long time.” She added, “Having a community surrounding the students who want to help support the chapter is really great. And that’s definitely part of our broader high school strategy.”

Court sides with new Colorado GOP Chair, blocks committee tied to former leadership

Top Stories, Approved, Rocky Mountain Voice, State / / ,

A district judge in El Paso County has rejected an attempt by the Colorado Republican Party’s Investigative Committee—an entity formed under former chair Dave Williams—to intervene in a lawsuit that the party’s current leadership has moved to dismiss.

In a ruling filed April 23, District Court Judge Amanda J. Philipps found that the Investigative Committee lacks standing and legal authority to join or intervene in the ongoing civil case, saying the group was assigned “limited tasks” and does not possess independent power to act on behalf of the Colorado Republican State Central Committee (CRC).

Garbo: How Democrats weaponized–and betrayed American citizens while defending criminal illegal immigrants

Commentary, Approved, National, Rocky Mountain Voice, Top Stories / / , , , , , , ,

Democrats have made their priorities unmistakably clear: American citizens come last. The people they swore to represent – the very citizens who pay their salaries and trust them to uphold the Constitution – are now treated as political enemies, stripped of basic rights, and left to rot in the name of partisan gain. 

Meanwhile, violent foreign nationals, like MS-13 gang members, are given more care, sympathy, and legal protection than the American people ever receive. 

This isn’t just hypocrisy. This is betrayal.
