Denver Post journalists have been waging a war or words against Alden Global Capital, its vulture hedge fund owner, and given that the paper is still making millions despite layoffs targeting nearly a third of its newsroom staff, Alden appears to be winning. But now, those Post scribes and photographers who’ve been given their walking papers have a new opportunity to be paid to exercise their skills. The Economic Hardship Reporting Project has established a $10,000 fund specifically earmarked for recently axed Post employees.
Colorado Department of Education data about marijuana violations in state schools reveals the facilities with the most pot-related incidents during the 2016-2017 academic year, with five registering fifty or more.

Today is the last day of the state legislative session.

Once on the rocks, the system is getting help from citizens’ groups,
After Denver was named one of twenty finalists as the location for Amazon HQ2, locals already concerned about out-of-control growth and rising housing costs offered a notably mixed reaction, with a recent poll suggesting that Mile High residents are less enthusiastic about hosting a new campus for the mega-firm than those living in any of the other potential sites. But they may be more favorably disposed to Army Futures Command, a new military project that also has Denver on its short list.
As of late last year, rent prices finally seemed to be leveling off in Denver and its nearby communities following a long stretch during which rental costs consistently zoomed upward in the Mile High City’s hyper-competitive housing market.

Thirty-three members of the Colorado legislature have signed onto a letter to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions calling for congressional action “to protect the sovereignty of states like Colorado and ensure that marijuana businesses and consumers will be free from undue federal interference.” But even though the original document, on view below, was backed by the entire Colorado Congressional delegation, regardless of party designation, no Republican state senators or representatives have done likewise.
Today in two cities, Denver and New York, Denver Post employees will be taking part in separate demonstrations against Alden Global Capital, the vulture hedge fund that has so gutted the newspaper that former owner Dean Singleton chose to resign as chairman and step down from the editorial board as a way of expressing his frustration and disappointment.
