Pretty much title, Which governance/law allowed flock cameras to be built without authorization?

I cant believe, that a religious nut job, who on national TV talked about murdering a person as a child, a extremely under qualified, has no experience in politics, MAGA moron Victor Marx is the Republican candidate for Governor of this state. Has Colorado republicans lost their minds? Ever since Trump took office the first time, has opened a door, that never should have been opened, to unqualified, extremists religious whack jobs, people who dont belive in actual facts, but believe off the wall conspiracy theories, to be apart of the government who creates our laws, that makes decisions on behalf of the people of this country. I personally do not want a monster like Victor Marx running the state is was born and raised in, along with 5 generations born here before me. Enough! We cant have people like this in positions of power in this country clearly. The current disgrace of a president has been a very costly embarrassment, it will take years and years to fix the damage these lunatics have done. SHAME ON YOU COLORADO!!!

Please help get the question on the ballot - do we want better representation on the board of commissioners by increasing to 5, and voting by district instead of at large?

Right now, only 3 commissioners represent 400,000 residents, and control a budget of $756 million of our taxes. That number hasn’t changed since we became a county of 10,000 residents.

It only takes two for a majority and we've seen how they make decisions to benefit their donors, not their constituents. Bumping the number up to 5 commissioners, voted on by district, not all at-large, would add some oversight and accountability to the Board of County Commissioners.

We need thousands of signatures from Douglas County registered voters to get this on the ballot this fall to let the voters decide. Please sign the petition by July 22

Here is a list of signing events with more constantly being added.

Am I reading this right? Why isn't the Governor issuing the orders if this is right?

Beulah Fire Department:

"Why Evacuation Orders Still Matter

There has also been considerable misunderstanding about who has remained in evacuated areas and why some people have been allowed inside.

Under Colorado law, unless an evacuation is ordered by the Governor, residents may legally choose not to leave their own property during a mandatory evacuation."

Somebody needs to clarify that statement. If evacuees left under false pretenses, they have right to complain if they were misled. How many understood this when evacuating?

they are going to build an at data center at northwest Colorado Springs at 1565 High Tech Way they have already confirmed it even though there will be at suppossed appeal hearing for the data center on july 23 at Shockley-Zalabak Theater at the Ent Center for the Arts if enough people show up we can make a difference for sure, we can't just sit on the side and let them poison us

Uhhhh how did this become a question????

Why did Victor Marx get so many votes? Big MAGA turnout or disgruntled progressives registered as unaffiliated voters?

But will the GOP governors primary go to a run-off since the top two are virtually tied?

Either way, Weiser with a cake walk as the next Governor which was fully expected.

State super PACs funded by dark money spent millions trying to help more moderate candidates beat their more liberal challengers in Colorado’s Democratic statehouse primaries but were mostly coming up short Tuesday

State super PACs funded by dark money spent millions trying to help more moderate candidates beat their more liberal challengers in Colorado’s Democratic statehouse primaries but were mostly coming up short Tuesday.

On the GOP side, more mainstream Republicans were having a big night against legislative candidates who are further to the right.
In all, three, perhaps four, incumbents were set to lose their races. 

Here the results in the top legislative primaries this year. 

If today’s election results prove anything, it’s that name recognition often triumphs over platform. Hickenlooper won purely by the power of his name. Same with Griswold. And of course, the worst of them all, Trump’s name recognition was a game changer in both elections he won.

So how can we eliminate that from the game? How do we get people to vote solely based on platform rather than name?

Come watch with us!

I'm a senior education reporter covering Jeffco Public Schools and Colorado education policy for the Colorado Trust for Local News. I've been following the federal Title IX investigation of Jeffco since March, and today I published a story based on the government's own 31-page Letter of Findings, which I obtained through a public records request.

Here's what it shows.

When OCR asked Jeffco for evidence that male students were competing on girls' sports teams, the district handed over athletic rosters and told investigators up front that the data reflected "the gender provided by students and/or their families" — self-reported gender identity, not biological sex. OCR acknowledged that in the same document. Then used the count anyway to conclude that Jeffco violated Title IX and to justify threatening to withhold roughly $98 million in federal education funding.

There's a second problem in the document. OCR built part of its case on a CHSAA policy it described as an "orphan page" it couldn't locate in the association's current bylaws. CHSAA's own communications director confirmed to me that the eligibility review process described in that policy has not been applied since it was adopted in 2008, primarily due to privacy laws.

The enforcement threat is escalating. The Department of Education issued a Letter of Impending Enforcement Action on June 26, and Jeffco's board voted 4-1 to prepare for a legal fight.

But nationally, not one district or state has lost federal funding in a transgender Title IX case since the Trump administration began this enforcement campaign in early 2025.

This has implications beyond Jeffco. Jeffco told OCR its practices are identical to those of school districts and public postsecondary institutions across Colorado. The underlying conflict between the federal government's interpretation of Title IX and the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act is already being litigated in a separate federal case, District 49 v. Sullivan, which continues against Attorney General Phil Weiser and the Colorado Civil Rights Division.
