“Write your own rules?” Douglas County voters to decide if it’s time for Home Rule

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

On June 24, Douglas County voters will weigh in on whether to create a Home Rule Charter Commission – and decide who should serve on it. The commission would be made up of 21 members, including six from each commissioner district and three at-large.

If the measure passes, the elected commission will draft a charter that could reshape county governance.

Ballots were mailed starting June 2. Drop boxes and in-person voting will remain open through 7 p.m. on Election Day.

Before voters decide, it’s worth understanding what’s at stake: Home Rule would give Douglas County the chance to write its own charter – a localized framework for how the county governs itself.

Denver City Council considering plan to fix voter disconnect in at-large races

denvergazette.com, Approved, Local / / , , ,

Citing concerns of voter confusion and wasted votes, five Denver City Council members are proposing the city change how it elects its two citywide at-large council seats by splitting them into two separate races.

They say the move will also increase voter participation.

Currently, the at-large members are elected on a single ballot, with the top two vote-getters declared the winners, District 2 Councilmember Kevin Flynn said.

Every elected official in Denver, except for the at-large candidates, must be elected by greater than 50% of the vote, city officials said during Monday’s City Budget and Policy Committee meeting.

Kalam: Colorado’s Woke Zealotry Ushers Islamist Terror into Boulder

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

Just over a week ago, I warned that the shooting of two young Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C., by a far-left zealot chanting “Free Palestine” was not an isolated act but a harbinger. 

In progressive strongholds, where criminal fanatics like Luigi Mangione are lionized, such violence would not merely persist—it would metastasize. And so it has. In Boulder, Colorado, barely an hour from my home, the grim prophecy has been fulfilled.

Montrose Commissioner Pond: Why I’m Drawing the Line and Standing Against Federal Land Grabs

The views expressed here are my own and do not represent an official action or position of the Montrose Board of County Commissioners.

I was appointed to represent the people of District 3 in Montrose County, and I took an oath to uphold the Constitution. That includes defending our land, our rights, and our way of life here in Western Colorado.

In recent months, there’s been a coordinated push to place more of Colorado under federal control. We already fought back against the proposed Dolores National Monument, a 500,000-acre land grab, and we won. 

Then came a 68,000 acre National Conservation Area proposal in Mesa and Montrose Counties. We stood our ground again and stopped it. 

But now we’re facing two more massive federal designations.

CPW exterminates ‘Wolf 2405’ after four attacks in eight days killing livestock in Pitkin County

DENVER7, Approved, Local, State / / , , , ,

Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials have killed a gray wolf that was believed to be involved in a series of attacks that killed two livestock calves and injured three more calves and one cow in Pitkin County.

The series of attacks meets the agency’s criteria for “chronic depredation” that it finalized in January: three or more depredation events caused by the same wolf or wolves within a 30-day period, with “clear and convincing evidence” of at least one of the attacks.

40% of Arapahoe roads rated poor—even after tax hike

CBS Colorado, Approved, Local / / , , , ,

With years of deferred maintenance and not enough funding, some Arapahoe County roads are not getting the repairs they need and are quickly falling apart. County leaders say it’s in part due to a major shortfall with the overall county budget and inflation. However, the county hopes that additional revenue generated by the passage of a ballot measure last November might help make much-needed road improvements.

The county’s 2024 “Annual Report and Infrastructure Report Card” released this May shares more information about the status of the county’s roads.

An illegal immigrant teenager who was spared jail time after he was convicted of killing a Colorado woman in a high-speed crash has been arrested, along with his family, by immigration authorities. 

The 16-year-old from Colombia was sentenced to probation and community service for the July 2024 death of Kaitlyn Weaver, 24, in Aurora after striking a plea deal with prosecutors. 

The teen, who has not been publicly named because of state laws that shield the identity of underage criminal suspects, was arrested May 20 along with his family, who were also living in the United States illegally, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said.
