After a father’s warning, lawmakers block porn age-check measure

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice A Mesa County father didn’t show up to talk policy. He showed up to talk about kids. “My heart breaks for this generation and the technology that they face today,” Mesa County Commissioner Cody Davis told lawmakers, describing a world where explicit material is “one click away” and often discovered long before children understand what they’re seeing. He talked about foster children, smartphones, and the quiet moments when exposure happens before parents even know it. “Right now, a 10-year-old boy is quietly absorbing scenes that teach him that women are objects,” Davis said. “Right now, a 12-year-old girl is comparing her natural developing body to the… performer she sees.” No one in the hearing questioned the problem.

Davis & Hansen: Why we’re fighting for an NCA and against a National Monument

By Cody Davis and Sue Hansen | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The Dolores River is a hidden gem nestled against the Rocky Mountains, and has long been cherished by Coloradans — from ranchers and grazers to recreationists and sightseers — who have enjoyed its pristine beauty and breathtaking views. For decades, local residents have successfully stewarded and protected these lands, proving that conservation thrives under local care and control. However, as we’ve seen elsewhere in Colorado, National Monument designations often shift decision-making from West Slope communities to Washington, D.C., bureaucrats. We believe there’s a better way forward. In recent weeks, there’s been a lot of conversation about the future of the Dolores River and whether a National Conservation Ar...
