Hunter: ‘Real people doing real things’—NoCo Legislative Wrap-Up rallies the grassroots

Drake Hunter | Commentary, RMV NE CO Newsroom, Rocky Mountain Voice Last night’s Northeast Colorado Legislative Wrap-Up at Rez Church in Loveland wasn’t just a review of bills and budgets—it was, for many of us, a clear-eyed call to civic action.

The bill, which was introduced on Jan. 8, has been assigned to the Agriculture, Water & Natural Resources Committee. READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS
