Gonzalez: Needle exchange site in Colorado Springs lacks transparency

Needle exchange programs and drug injection sites, described by proponents as “safe injection sites” or “overdose prevention centers,” are ideas that radicals throughout the state continue to push upon our communities, even where they are largely opposed by the public and previously rejected by local institutions.

Walcher: Making computers out of… wind?

I just attended a reception with Colorado oil and gas employees, and the conversation was eye opening. I expected to hear about how difficult life in America would be without fossil fuels. There was some of that, but not in the way I expected. Many of the conversations were not about how badly we need gasoline for our cars or electricity for our homes and businesses.

Gaines: Progressive press slathers bias on Venezuelan gang story

I feel sorry for the residents of the Aurora apartment complex dealing that have ended up in the national spotlight as part of the Venezuelan gang story as of late.  Besides living in what seems like crappy conditions, they have all unwittingly become a bone to be fought over.  I agree with Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, as he recently told the Colorado Sun, when he says that he feels this whole situation “… has been exploited for political gain.”

Andrews: A ban on fur in Denver would only hurt this thriving cow town

Denver is like no place else. We’re a “cow town” with a thriving food scene; a tech hub and a gateway to world-class recreation opportunities; sports teams, museums, brew pubs, and distilleries for everyone. We’ve hit on a formula for a world-class 21st-century city that honors its heritage. It’s no wonder boomers and Gen Z alike want to be here.

Costello: The unintended consequences of Proposition 127

Coloradans, I’m writing to you from California, where mountain lion hunting is illegal because of ballot-box biology. The idea of saving mountain lions and bobcats feels noble. They are magnificent critters, and supremely effective at making a living on the landscape (killing prey). We all love wild landscapes filled with diverse wildlife, including elusive and sometimes scary apex predators. While revered and respected for millennia, it is also true that humans have hunted, harvested and managed these animals as part of our own participation in the natural world.

MacKinnon: Pause to appreciate the immense courage Trump is displaying daily on the campaign trail

After the latest scare on Sunday, where the Secret Service opened fire on a man with an AK-47 outside of Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach while former President Donald J. Trump was on the course, I believe we all need pause to appreciate the immense courage Trump displays daily on the campaign trail.
