Gov. Jared Polis again rejected a bill that would make it easier for Colorado workers to unionize. “In the middle of an affordability crisis, vetoing a bill like this is failing to meet the moment,” bill sponsor Rep. Javier Mabrey said tonight. via @denverpost.com www.denverpost.com/2026/05/29/p...
Important note. This year, Polis asked the legislature — which was in the midst of cutting $1.5 billion — for tens of millions to build a new prison. He’s also refused to release 11 inmates who’ve completed their release programs and are only waiting on Polis to free them. bsky.app/profile/burn...
New: A wave of elected officials, primarily from Polis’ party, castigated the governor for reducing Peters’ sentence. The county clerks association said that the move would define Polis’ legacy. With @coltrain.bsky.social: www.denverpost.com/2026/05/15/t...
Attorney General Phil Weiser called the commutation “an insult,” “mind-boggling” and “a threat to the rule of law.” Secretary of State Jena Griswold called Polis’ decision “an affront to democracy” and accused Polis of “selling out our state justice system to cave to a vengeful president.”
I love local National Weather Service offices with my whole entire heart. There are SO FEW gov't agencies where you call and an expert picks up and answers questions with no runaround. And is genuinely happy to communicate with the public. NWS forecasters you are national treasures, now and 4ever.
