Windsor developer could locate hotel, water park and Eagles hockey in West Greeley

By Dallas Heltzell | BizWest Developer Martin Lind’s plans for a hotel and water park, as well as a new home for the Colorado Eagles minor-league hockey team, could shift from Loveland to Greeley. The Greeley City Council has called a special meeting for Tuesday to consider a memorandum of understanding between the city and Lind’s Windsor-based Water Valley Co. to evaluate the feasibility and public benefit of developing land in west Greeley for the hotel, water park and larger arena as part of a mixed-use, transit-oriented entertainment district. According to the council meeting packet the city posted late Friday, the project would include a new 8,600-seat arena for the Eagles that would also house an ice center with at least three sheets of ice that could be used by the Northern...

Stagecoach Mountain Ranch, a lavish members-only ski and golf resort, could turn town upside down

By Kari Dequine Harden | The Colorado Sun Fifteen years ago, Jennifer and Adam Fernley came across an abandoned hilltop cabin for sale in the northwestern Colorado community of Stagecoach.  Overrun with mice and other rodents, the house had been flooded by frozen pipes. But the couple knew immediately they’d found their slice of paradise. A house painter by trade, Adam took on the work of repair. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SUN

‘We are in crisis mode’: After meeting is blocked, Republicans further discuss removal of chairman

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice BRIGHTON -- A who's who of Colorado Republican Party leadership here Saturday was still unable to answer a pressing question: Are they a minority faction or a unified movement for change? It could not be answered, they say, because a court order prevented their meeting of the party's Central Committee. Those in attendance here at Faith Fellowship Church had planned to discuss the removal of State Chairman Dave Williams, and possibly his vice-chair and secretary in a sweeping change at the state office. The court order preventing it was decided about 24 hours earlier, reportedly without their notice. "We are in crisis mode," Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer said. "We are one vote from a super majority in the [State] Senate and in the [State] House of 65 me...

If the chairman were to be removed, who leads the Colorado GOP? These three say they can

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice BRIGHTON -- If the Central Committee were to clean house at Colorado Republican Party headquarters and remove all state officers, as has been proposed by a faction of the committee, who might assume leadership? A non-meeting "rally" at Faith Fellowship Church here on Saturday, July 27, may have begun to answer that question. In fact, a couple committee members in attendance proposed they had found all three officers -- those candidates to become chairman who stayed to participate in an impromptu question-and-answer session. Those candidates were Eli Bremer, Richard Holtorf and Brita Horn. Also seeking the chairmanship is Steven Peck. "I would argue I might not make a very good secretary, if you look at my notes today," Holtorf joked with the ...

When pushed, Jen Psaki apologizes to Afghanistan Gold Star families for false claim Biden didn’t check his watch

By Rachel Schilke | Washington Examiner Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki extended an apology to the families of the 13 Gold Star military service members who died in the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 on Friday. During a transcribed interview, Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) asked Psaki about her comments that she wrote in her book, Say More, that stated President Joe Biden never looked at his watch during a ceremony in late August 2021 honoring soldiers killed in Afghanistan returning home.   “The chairman asked Ms. Psaki about her comments regarding President Biden looking at his watch while at Dover [Air Force Base] and asked her if she had anything she wanted to say to the families on the record,” Leslie Shedd,...

Trump indeed was struck by would-be assassin’s bullet in Butler, Penn., FBI says

By The Associated Press, via Politico Nearly two weeks after Donald Trump’s near assassination, the FBI confirmed Friday that it was indeed a bullet that struck the former president’s ear, moving to clear up conflicting accounts about what caused the former president’s injuries after a gunman opened fire at a Pennsylvania rally. “What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the agency said in a statement. The one-sentence statement from the FBI marked the most definitive law enforcement account of Trump’s injuries and followed ambiguous comments earlier in the week from Director Christopher Wray that appeared to cast doubt on whether Trump had actually been hit by a bulle...

Colorado GOP faces transparency issues amid critical race controversies

By Rocky Mountain Voice Staff Amidst ongoing internal conflicts and strategic disputes, the Colorado Republican Party faces significant challenges concerning transparency and the manner in which it communicates its support for certain electoral races. The party leadership has outlined a list of "critical races," including several congressional districts and state legislative seats, such as CD3, CD8, SD5, SD6, SD12, HD43, HD16, HD19, HD25, HD26, HD50, HD57, SD13, and SD16.  This list of races targeted for strategic support in the upcoming elections was never formally communicated to many within the party, including some county chairs and leadership. This list was only discovered indirectly through the likes of concerned candidates.  Financial reports also reveal a concern...
