Davis: Democrat lawmakers target faith as discriminatory under HB25-1312

Commentary, Approved, Rocky Mountain Voice, State / / , , , ,

Colorado is rapidly becoming one of the nation’s most “progressive” states.

And by “progressive,” I mean “radically opposed to God, family, life, marriage, and basic human biology and aggressively hostile to anyone who holds historic conservative and Christian beliefs on these issues.”

Welcome to the modern Left—this ain’t your grandaddy’s Democrat Party.

The Air Force Academy superintendent is proposing to cut civilian faculty positions without hiring uniformed instructors to replace them — a change that could eliminate some majors. 

The proposal floated in internal meetings and communications is intended to increase the percentage of military service members among the faculty up to 80% and bring the percentage of civilians down from about 37% to 20%.

Lawmakers pitch new insurance fee for wildlife and bike lanes, rural Coloradans cry foul

The Post Independent, Approved, State / / , , ,

Colorado lawmakers are looking to add a fee to car insurance policies that would raise funds for road infrastructure aimed at reducing vehicle collisions with wildlife, pedestrians and cyclists. 

The idea is being floated as part of a bill co-sponsored by Reps. Andrew Boesenecker, a Larimer County Democrat, and Meghan Lukens, a Steamboat Springs Democrat, and Sens. Faith Winter, a Front Range Democrat, and Dylan Roberts, a Frisco Democrat. 

“This bill creates a sustainable solution to a serious public safety problem,” Lukens said. “This bill will save lives, prevent injuries, reduce insurance costs, and protect the wildlife that defines our state. It’s a responsible investment that pays for itself many times over.” 

The “Motor Vehicle Collision Prevention” bill cleared its first hurdle, passing through the House Transportation, Housing and Local Government Committee on Tuesday, April 1 before heading to the finance committee.

Judge overrides parents, reinstates graphic books mid-appeal

coloradopolitics.com, Approved, Local / / , ,

A federal judge on Thursday refused to put her prior ruling on hold while an appeal plays out, and instead ordered Elizabeth School District to return 19 restricted books to library shelves by Saturday.

U.S. District Court Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney rejected the Elbert County district’s claims that her original order was unfair, “breathtakingly broad” and would require whole new library policies. She also slammed the district for disclosing, only after she issued her order, that it had “discarded” the disputed books entirely.

Democrat Rep. Zokaie compares concerned parents to KKK during hearing on HB25-1312

Fox News, Approved, State / / , , , ,

A Colorado Democrat likened parent groups to “the KKK” during an hours-long committee hearing for a controversial bill that could see parents accused of “coercive control” in custody fights for using a trans child’s “deadname.”

“I really am curious about how much stakeholdering went on both sides of the issue, and not just one side,” Republican state Rep. Jarvis Caldwell said during the hearing, which began Monday night and ran into early Tuesday. “I’m curious with if the businesses in the community were included in these and if parent groups that are not part of the LGBT community if they were involved.”
