"This guy was not just moving just shooting randomly, he was pointing and aiming," said Kevin Slay, one of the first witnesses for the prosecution."...

The yard signs she's helping to paint this year are sending the same message they did in 2019 and again in 2022 -- to protect tax caps put in place by TABOR. "It's the same fight every time; it's not a left or right fight going on," Fenske said. "It's just the people trying to keep some of their money." READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO
