Arapahoe County’s short-term rental rules raise a fair question: are we protecting neighborhoods, or building a paperwork Olympics?

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

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

I support organizing. I also support consent. https://t.co/TDLCXeYzrn

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. https://t.co/E71ZxNhbOy

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. https://t.co/rbvl97ilUF

Colorado regulators want a public meeting on CoreSite’s Denver project.

Colorado’s 2026 primary ballot is crowded across the board.
Voters will get a long list. The real question is who offers results, not slogans. https://t.co/w5G0g89myW

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. https://t.co/HlIFNWTyrA

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. https://t.co/xyoAY019qA
