The Colorado State Open Thread is published generally around 7PM on Monday evenings, depending upon various conditions, some within and some outside of my control. If anyone would like to post for an Open Thread, please Kosmail ColoTim to see what is available.
I admit that I do get most of my political news from this website. I do occasionally get updated on local issues when my wife sends me articles from 9News’ website, but she’ll try and remind me about an issue and I find that I have no clue what she’s talking about. However, I thought you might be interested in one site that I found more than a year ago that seems to be relatively evenly balanced and they present more of the news than opinionated and slanted opinion pieces disguised as news. It’s an email list for ColoradoPolitics.com.
They do have a majority of their news stories behind a paywall, but they do have some stories that are open to read, as well as links from there to similar stories that are also in front of the pay wall. I wind up getting a few (maybe 3-4) emails per day from them with about 5 or 6 stories per piece. It’s plenty to help me keep up with what’s happening in the state as well as what’s happening in Washington with our Colorado representatives.
My latest edition from 4:22 PM today is headlined Colorado Senate puts off final vote on 'red flag' gun bill and that’s the only piece, since this is their “NEWS ALERT”. The afternoon update today had the articles:
Q&A with Don Wilson | Blizzards, growth: A small-town mayor's job can be 'like juggling chainsaws' The town of Monument may be relatively small, but the booming El Paso County exurb — atop the Palmer Divide between Castle Rock and Colorado Springs — certainly isn't sleepy. In addition, there were articles describing Denver mayor Michael Hancock’s first ad, the state legislature sending the ban on conversion therapy to Polis to sign, Denver schools committing to a $15 minimum wage by 2023, and efforts to repeal the state commitment to participate in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

And now, what is of interest to you this evening? Whatever you’d like to share, the floor is yours. |
