Opinion: Polis should call a special session to address gun violence

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:47:28 GMT

When I was growing up, adults firmly believed that children should be seen and not heard. We were usually shooed away whenever grown folks started talking.Such old-fashioned thinking is the mindset of some lawmakers at the Colorado Capitol, and more-so Tennessee lawmakers who refused to listen to students coping with escalating gun violence in schools.The unexpected death of someone you know is hard to take, and doubly difficult for young people. I still recall the death of a well-liked girl in my grade school from an accident in which her dress caught on fire.Sadness and confusion from 60 years ago came rushing back as I saw the faces of Colorado students begging lawmakers for new solutions to prevent the carnage.They are rightfully upset.Given the fierce urgency of now, Gov. Jared Polis should call a special session to hash out these and other differences.This is the generation that learns math, science, and active shooter drills. CDC data show the leading cause of death among chi...

Letters: The truth is Biden’s administration abandoned Afghan allies

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:47:28 GMT

Don’t downplay Biden administration’s role in abandonment of  Afghan alliesRe: “Biden review of chaotic Afghan withdrawal blames Trump,” April 7 news storyThe White House released a 12-page summary of U.S. policies around the end of the war in Afghanistan. No, this wasn’t an independent review but rather a review by Biden’s National Security Council with input from himself. Of course, the review laid blame where this administration and the media lays all blame — it’s Trump’s fault.I would encourage anyone interested in the truth to read “Operation Pineapple Express” by Lt. Col. Scott Mann, US Army Special Forces (retired). In his book, he details the work of a contingent of special operators with some unsanctioned government help to secure the evacuation of Afghanis who confronted death every day in order to help the U.S. military with their mission. Our government promised these Afghanis safe refuge, but Biden abando...

A prominent piece of ground near the Federal Center in Lakewood has finally changed hands, purchased by a developer this month for $30 million after nearly a decade of on-again-off-again negotiation, a failed land swap and multiple court rulings on its future.The 59-acre parcel at the southeast corner of Union Boulevard and U.S. 6 was bought last week by Lakewood Land Partners LP, which posted the winning bid in an auction held by the U.S. General Services Administration, the agency that manages federal government property.“This has been a long process but GSA is hopeful this land will have a positive impact on the area, like the previous sale that brought the hospital and transit system which has been beneficial to the community,” said GSA spokesman Rich Stebbins, referring to another nearby plot of former federally owned land that is now home to Centura St. Anthony Hospital and a W-Line rail stop.Lakewood Land Partners, which formed on March 27, lists a Dallas address ...

Here’s how Colorado Democrats ranked their spending priorities

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:47:28 GMT

Colorado lawmakers have millions of dollars worth of decisions to make in the closing weeks of the legislative session, spread among dozens of bills that far surpass the budget allotted to themTo guide the decision-making process, the Democratic majority in each chamber secretly ranks the bills to gauge members’ priorities for the limited funds. The result does not guarantee a bill’s passage or failure and, leaders contend, isn’t a vote. It is instead a data point lawmakers use in weighing the policies, leaders said — and gives a peek into the majorities’ overall feelings as the end of the session approaches. Democrats have a supermajority in the House of Representatives and a near-supermajority in the Senate.How the individual lawmakers rank the bills is kept secret, opening the process to criticism that it lacks transparency and accountability. Defenders say it’s a more open process than years past, when prioritization decisions were largely made in backrooms and witho...
