Aurora City Council votes to crack down on vehicle registration with impoundments

By Tori Mason | CBS Colorado In a move to enhance safety and enforce vehicle regulations, the Aurora City Council approved an ordinance for impoundment penalties. The measure, which passed with a 6-2 vote, mandates the impoundment of vehicles if a police officer determines the vehicle is being operated by an unlicensed driver, is not properly registered, and lacks insurance.  In July, the Aurora Police Department told CBS Colorado that when a vehicle is pulled over for not having a plate, the driver usually gets a ticket to appear in court. The city says this harsher penalty aims to address growing concerns about unregulated vehicles on city streets. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

Logan County TABOR issues highlight local concerns: Free State CO talks ranked choice voting

By Cory Gaines | Colorado Accountability Project The deadline to get local ballot issues on your local ballot passed recently.  As such I called the Logan County Clerk and Recorder's Office to see about anything on the ballot in Logan County.
