Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:53:07 GMT

Two Democratic lawmakers have filed a lawsuit against the Colorado House of Representatives and its leaders, alleging a “series of long-standing practices” that violated the state’s open-meetings laws.Reps.

My great-grandfather Vehoc was there and what happened to him is unthinkable.”He nodded his head and promised that Colorado will not run from this history. Almost a decade later I ask, again, what has been done to address the inter-generational effects of genocide? And I ask in the same breath, what is being done to address the inter-generational effects of climate change?The devastating storms that hit Colorado around the Solstice, including rivers of hail and a tornado in Highlands Ranch, are a sign that cannot be ignored anymore. For our people the Solstice ...
