The Justice Center question is simple: one project, or three projects in a trench coat? I believe it is one project, and Commissioner Maxey and I want voters to decide.

Greeley’s Memorial Day ceremony returns to Linn Grove Cemetery with flags, tributes, and a chance to volunteer. A free people should never be too busy to remember. #Greeley #MemorialDay

Arapahoe County’s short-term rental rules raise a fair question: are we protecting neighborhoods, or building a paperwork Olympics?
Safety matters. So do property rights.

Colorado should debate natural gas honestly and let voters decide. Last-minute Capitol maneuvering before the people vote is the wrong lane. #ColoradoEnergy #WeldCounty

SB 26-5 is a lawsuit machine aimed at federal immigration enforcement. Due process matters. So does passing laws that survive court.

House Bill 1005 is not about forming a union. It is about removing Colorado’s second vote before union fees hit every worker.

Colorado lawmakers killed HB 1114, the lot-size bill. Good.
Land use is a local control issue, and the session still has 16 days left for more bad ideas. denverpost.com/2026/04/27/ho…

Colorado’s security overhaul bill responds to real threats. But 60 pages and no fiscal note is still a problem.
Political violence is never justified. Taxpayers deserve the receipt. coloradopolitics.com/2026/04…

Colorado ranks near the top in preschool access. Good.
But if the state met only 2 of 10 quality benchmarks, that is a warning light, not a victory lap. denverpost.com/2026/04/22/pr…

If SB 135 is really about schools, why does the cited analysis say most of the money would not go to K-12?
A $7,381 TABOR refund hit over 10 years is real family money. denvergazette.com/2026/04/23…
