O’Donnell: It’s costly to live in Colorado—and now we top the charts in personal debt

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

Since 2021, inflation has been higher in Colorado than in any other state, mostly because of the cost of owning or renting a home. But this is also because the state legislature enjoys imposing new fees (you aren’t allowed to call them taxes) on seemingly anything they can think of.

Colorado residents may not, however, realize that because it is now so expensive to live in the state, Coloradans owe more money in mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, student loans and other consumer obligations than residents of ANY other state.

Up to 4,000 Coloradans may have had their identities stolen – and none of them know it. That’s because the theft may be part of a massive political money laundering scheme involving groups like ActBlue.

ActBlue, a political fundraising platform that has facilitated $3.7 billion in contributions to Democrat campaigns, is under federal investigation. Multiple directors have resigned in recent months, according to reporting from the New York Times.

Gregory: Colorado’s highest court has lost credibility

Colorado Politics, Approved, State / / , ,

Colorado is haunted by the ghosts of Watergate. Through his preemptive pardon of Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford blunted the rule of law by preventing our country from ever directly addressing the wrongfulness of Nixon’s conduct and having public discourse as to what accountability was appropriate. The evolution of Colorado’s judicial scandal has been very similar to the chronology of Watergate. In it I have found my own spiritual camaraderie with Justice Melissa Hart’s grandfather, Archibald Cox. Like me, Cox was retaliated against and fired just as his investigation of Nixon discovered critical evidence.

Yadira Caraveo’s former aides say they were mistreated, traumatized by Colorado congresswoman

Approved, State, The Colorado Sun / / , ,

U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo’s behavior last year while serving in Congress and running for reelection was so frightening and traumatizing to staff that aides proposed a safety plan requesting that sharp objects be removed from the Colorado Democrat’s offices. They also wanted assurances that subordinates not be responsible for talking her “through suicidal thoughts” or “keeping her company during a crisis.”

Natelson: Colorado’s Senate Bill 276 jampacked with constitutional absurdities

Approved, Commentary, completecolorado.com, State / / , ,

You have to wonder about a large portion of the Colorado legislature. I’ve already written about their bills to squelch freedom of the press, freedom of speech, the right to keep and bear arms, and the constitutional right of parents to raise their own children. Not to mention the loony idea of wasting taxpayer money on a frivolous lawsuit to take away our Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights refunds.

Colorado’s controversial “Kelly Loving Act” moved one step closer to becoming law after an emotionally charged hearing that drew hundreds to the Capitol. HB25-1312, which proposes sweeping changes to how gender identity is treated under Colorado law, passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on a 5–2 party-line vote following more than eight hours of testimony that stretched past 1:00 a.m.
