| | | | | The president of the United States conspired to make our lives worse in countless ways. | | | | | Because I rely on this fuel to heat my boiler, fireplace, and hot water heater, I will be voting for Initiative 177 come November. | | | | | “Millions of Americans are struggling to afford their care or are opting to cancel their coverage altogether, including large numbers of Coloradans.” — U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette | | | | | “The department’s mission statement should clearly state and emulate the respect for safeguarding human lives, police officers included.” — Philip Arreola, Denver | | | | | The op-ed in The Denver Post by Krista Kafer on Sunday began by asking, “What does it mean to be antisemitic?” but never asks a single Jew for an answer. | | | | | Parents are justifiably frustrated that it took this long for the Boulder Valley School District to address antisemitism in schools. But Superintendent Anderson has acknowledged the problem and proposed concrete action. The district now has an obligation to rebuild trust with Jewish families. | | | | | Denver Fire Fighters union questions the state union’s credit card charges, expensive dinners and other spending that did not look like it had anything to do with serving Denver firefighters. | | | | | “Kudos to Denver leaders for planning one of the next sports stadiums in the city with no public parking lot. They listened to residents in the surrounding neighborhoods.” — Michael Johnson, Denver | | | | | More than fact-checking a candidate’s past, voters need to know where Marx stands on policy issues. | | | | | A jury will now decide whether Aurora police Officer Matthew Neely murdered Rajon Belt-Stubblefield or whether the shooting was a justified homicide. | | | | | Is drawing horns on a picture of a Jewish candidate necessarily evidence of anti-Jewish animus? Did Kiros actually say Israel had it coming? The answer to both questions is no, but that doesn’t mean these candidates deserve your vote. They don’t. | | | | | We visited this man’s grave in Riverside Cemetery. Surprisingly, no ribbons, no epitaph, no note of what he had done, just one plastic flower leaning on its side and a single pebble placed on the top. We left him our flowers and whispered our thanks. | | | |
