The chair of Denver’s Citizen Oversight Board, empowered by Mayor Michael Hancock to make recommendations about law enforcement use-of-force incidents and disciplinary decisions, is critical of the mild suspensions given to deputies over the November 2015 jail death of Michael Marshall.

Most cannabis consumers just want whatever’s on sale or the buds that’ll lift them the highest – but those two qualities rarely co-exist. The few strains that are both inexpensive and elevating, like Blue Dream and Gorilla Glue, quickly become popular on dispensary shelves.

As the 2016-17 ski season winds down, Colorado resorts have been linked to fourteen fatalities, the most in five years.

Four former dancers at Shotgun Willie’s have filed a class-action lawsuit against the iconic Denver strip club, alleging that they were ripped off by way of an illegal system that charged them to perform and forced them to help cover other employees’ earnings out of tips they received.

North Korea’s branding of Cory Gardner as a “psychopath” and a “man mixed in with human dirt” is not just a boon for the Colorado senator, whose reputation as a foreign policy hawk will no doubt be enhanced by the rogue nation’s decision to attack him. It’s also among the country’s ten best insults of all time, joining a memorable list shared below.
Roosevelt High School in Johnstown will be open for classes today, May 9, following yesterday’s closure. In an announcement from the Weld RE-5J School District, Dr. Martin Foster, the district’s superintendent, writes that local police say a possible threat over a Roosevelt Spanish teacher’s use of a President Donald Trump piñata has been discredited. Apparently, the whole thing was fueled by rumor.

The Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, which requires tax increases to be okayed by popular vote, was approved in 1992, meaning that it’s been in place for nearly a quarter-century and a pain in the neck to legislators for the same amount of time. Six years ago, a coalition of lawmakers and other notables filed suit in federal court to overturn it. But their efforts have been stymied again, this time by a U.S. District Court ruling that says the plaintiffs don’t have standing to have brought the suit in the first place.
