Hickenlooper signs into law biggest change to alcohol sales in Colorado since Prohibition Denver Post

Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law Friday sweeping legislation that would transform how Coloradans buy their libations.

With hours left to act before a midnight deadline, the former brewpub tycoon took up a legislative compromise meant to stave off a ballot measure to put full-strength beer and wine on grocery shelves. He had three options: veto the bill, sign it or allow it to become law without his support.

Senate Bill 197, passed in the final days of the legislative session that ended in May, represents the biggest change to Colorado liquor laws since Prohibition in 1933.

Colorado ski areas set visitor record, pass 13 million for first time Denver Post

Visitation to Colorado ski areas topped 13 million for the first time ever in 2015-16.

The Colorado Ski Country resort trade group reported Thursday that its 21 member resorts hosted 7.4 million visits last season, up from 7.1 million in 2014-15.

Add in Breckenridge, Vail, Keystone and Beaver Creek ski areas, which parent Vail Resorts said Thursday saw visits exceed last year's record tally, and the state's booming ski industry pushed past the 12.6 million visit high mark set in 2013-14. Vail does not break out performance for individual resorts, but the company's four Colorado resorts - including the two busiest in the nation, Vail and Breckenridge - hosted more than 5.6 million in 2014-15.

Avalanche is an inherent risk of skiing, Colorado Supreme Court rules in Winter Park death case Denver Post The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that avalanches are an inherent risk of skiing, ending a contentious debate over a ski area's liability when an avalanche kills a skier inside a resort boundary.

The Colorado ski industry agreed with the high court's decision, which was delivered Tuesday morning. The court ruled that avalanches are an inherent risk of skiing and resorts are protected from avalanche-related lawsuits under the venerable Ski Safety Act legislation, which prohibits lawsuits by skiers and snowboarders injured or killed as a result of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing, such as difficult-to-mitigate threats related to terrain, weather and snow conditions.

Gov. Hickenlooper vetoes bill on mental health holds Denver Post

Gov. John Hickenlooper Thursday vetoed a bill that would have expanded the number of places a person can be placed during a mental health hold, and the length of time that place can be in a jail or emergency room while awaiting a bed in a facility.

The legislation, Senate Bill 169, had passed the legislature with broad, and bipartisan, support. In his veto letter, Hickenlooper called the bill "well-intentioned."

"We agree that appropriate mental health facilities are not always readily available to treat persons having a mental health crisis. While well-intentioned, we are concerned that (the bill) does not provide adequate due process for individuals," stated the veto letter signed by Hickenlooper.

Grantham talks Senate majority, construction defects in Denver Colorado Statesman

For Republicans looking to maintain control of the Senate, and perhaps make inroads in the House, being able to stop the bills Democrats want is as important as getting their own bills passed.

Sen. Kevin Grantham, R-Canyon City, made the trip to Denver June 3 to speak at a morning meeting of the Denver Republican Party. During his remarks, he talked about the 2013-2014 Legislative sessions and the liberal bills passed in those two years as a major reason Republicans had to maintain the majority in the Senate this November.

"Those two sessions, we saw more anti-gun legislation, anti-free market legislation. We saw more green energy mandate legislation and so on and so forth than we've ever seen out of our Legislature," Grantham said. "That's why we need to keep (the Senate). The governor is going to be in office for the next two years. There's nothing we can do about that. We have a House that we might be able to take it back, but we have the Senate right now and I know we can keep it. We need your help."

Libertarians pick ex-New Mexico Gov. Johnson for president The Colorado Statesman

The Libertarian Party again nominated former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson as its presidential candidate Sunday, believing he can challenge presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton because of their poor showing in popularity polls.

Johnson, 63, won the nomination on the second ballot at the party's convention in Orlando, Florida, defeating Austin Petersen, the founder of The Libertarian Republic magazine; and anti-computer virus company founder John McAfee. The delegates selected former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld to be his vice presidential running mate.

Johnson, the party's nominee in 2012, told the delegates during his acceptance speech that his job will be to get the Libertarian platform before the voters at a level the party has not seen.

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn has tough road to November ballot Colorado Springs Gazette

A Democrat political tracker - an opposition party henchman trying to catch political faux pas on camera - crashed a small neighborhood meet-and-greet for Darryl Glenn earlier this month. The man stood obtrusively in the middle of the living room with a small camera recording Glenn's conversations.

The man was asked to leave - and did so without incident. But the fact he was dispatched to a small event for Glenn represents a recent and seismic shift in Colorado's Republican U.S. Senate primary race.

In April 2015, top officials within the Colorado Democratic Party didn't know who Darryl Glenn was or that the El Paso County commissioner had declared his candidacy that January. Glenn was dismissed by the media, which reported Republicans had been unsuccessful at soliciting a big-name candidate to challenge incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet.

Brewers Deflect from Colorado Brewers Guild to form new trade group, Craft Beer Colorado Westword

Some major members of the Colorado Brewers Guild have deflected to start their own group, Craft Beer Colorado. Its founding members include heavy hitters like Odell, Left Hand, New Belgium, Funkwerks and Renegade Brewing. The new group is currently 14 strong.

One the of largest reasons for the deflection, as we understand it, is consternation over whether A-B- owned brewers -- i.e., Breckenridge -- should be allowed as voting members, or at all, in the CBG.

Census: Denver fastest growing city in the U.S. KUSA We're about to tell you something you probably already could have guessed: Denver is the fastest- growing city in the country, according to census data.

In fact, in just the last year, Denver's population jumped by 2.8 percent. It was enough to move it up two spots, making it the 19th largest city in the country.

The newest census bureau report says 682,454 people call Denver home.

Effort to undo TABOR tax law dealt blow by court Denver Post

A legal effort to dismantle Colorado's controversial TABOR tax law was dealt a major setback when a federal appeals court ruled that some of its biggest opponents did not have standing to move forward with a court challenge.

The decision by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals means that Colorado's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, or TABOR, isn't going anywhere soon - nor its requirement that state lawmakers and city leaders get permission from voters before raising taxes.

"For half a decade now, we've been fighting a federal court battle to defend our voters' right to have a voice in state tax policy," said Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman in a statement. "I hope this decisive win will convince TABOR's opponents that the courts are not the place to pursue their political agenda."

Colorado's 2016 workforce-development package now fully signed into law Denver Business Journal

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed the last measure of a seven-bill workforce-development package that is meant to supplement a more ballyhooed eight-bill effort that went into law after the 2015 legislative session.

House Bill 1287, signed without much fanfare, directs the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment to look into how businesses can increase their use of apprenticeship programs and then to make recommendations to the Legislature on what it can do to further that goal. It flew largely under the radar during the legislative session that ended on May 11.

Another bill - House Bill 1289, signed on May 27 at a formal ceremony in Pueblo - was one of the more substantial measures of the seven-bill package that made it successfully through the Legislature out of 10 bills introduced in February.

Denver's affordable housing fee: How high will it be? Denver Business Journal

Denver City Council members are assuring builders that a development fee leveraged against them to help create a $150 million affordable housing fund will not be as high as a new study found are legally justified. The study, which was conducted to help the Denver City Council determine the best way to create the affordable housing fund, found that the legally justified fee that could be charged to developers would be $56.74 per square foot for a prototypical office building.

But Councilwoman Robin Kniech, who along with Councilman Albus Brooks has spearheaded the effort to form the fund, said it's important to remember that the study suggests only what fees are legally justified based on the need in the city, and the fee that is ultimately charged will be much lower than the numbers in the study.

Colorado ski area sold to Utah company Colorado Springs Gazette

Eldora Mountain Resort, a small Colorado ski area outside of Boulder, is now property of a Utah- based company.

Powdr, which owns Copper Mountain Resort in Summit County and six other resorts in the U.S., acquired Eldora on Monday, according to a news release.

War chests swell for ballot fight over oil and gas Denver Business Journal

Yet another Colorado energy company files for bankruptcy protection Denver Business Journal

Yet another Denver energy company has filed for bankruptcy protection. Warren Resources (Nasdaq: WRES) said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S.

Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. The news wasn't a complete surprise: In February, the company said it was skipping payment on a semi-annual interest payment and said it was pondering bankruptcy protection. In March, Warren Resources said its creditors need to accept"the reality of low oil prices."

The company recently moved its headquarters to Denver from New York City. The ins-and-outs of rain barrels Loveland Reporter Herald

Colorado residents will be able to collect rainwater from their roofs to use in gardens and yards when a new law takes effect on Aug. 10.

Water officials expect that less than 10 percent of residents will use rain barrels, and each home is allowed to have two barrels totaling 110 gallons of water.

The amount is small enough that it should not cause any measurable drops in the water feeding into rivers to supply cities, farms and businesses locally and downstream, said Reagan Waskom, director of the Colorado Water Institute.

Incentives help Colorado's film industry grow 9 News

Inside a cleared-out unit of an old Denver apartment complex, Haylar Garcia leaned forward in his director's chair, his eyes glued to the LCD screen mounted in front of him.

"Action!" Garcia called out, and the room full of crew members was suddenly silent. The only sound came from the room next door, where actors played out a scene of the horror film, "Gnaw."

"Gnaw is about facing your demons, literally and figuratively," Haylar Garcia explained.

Probable security breach may have compromised thousands of Lewis Palmer students' data Complete Colorado

Lewis-Palmer School District 38 officials are mum about the probability that a security breach related to its Infinite Campus platform may have compromised more than 2,000 students' personal information.

Infinite Campus is a software program that stores personal and academic information about students in the district. Many districts use the system, but those districts are free to decide how much information is accessible to parents and students online.

Many districts only allow access to grades, attendance, and schedules. Lewis-Palmer extends the information to highly confidential personal information.

Denver's 'Train To The Plane' Has Had Multiple Problems In Its Short History CBS Denver

Dozens of frustrated passengers had to be escorted off a stalled RTD train after it got stuck at an elevated part of the track. It was the latest in a string of delays and outages for the A Line, which runs from downtown Denver to Denver International Airport.

From small towns that barely dot the map to the state's largest urban areas, revenue from retail marijuana sales is helping communities address homelessness, send children to college, patch potholes, secure water rights and fund an array of projects.

Aurora is using $1.5 million of its revenue from pot sales and fees to address its homeless issue. Money also is going to road improvements and a new recreation center.

Adams County has earmarked more than $500,000 for scholarships for low-income students. Wheat Ridge keeps its revenue in the city's general fund, and it's used in a variety of areas. The same goes for Northglenn, where five marijuana stores generated $730,000 in 2015. The money will go toward water purchases and capital improvements to infrastructure and city facilities.

Medical marijuana testing rule possible boon for S.W. Colorado labs Durango Herald

A requirement for medical marijuana dispensaries and growers to have their products tested could be a boon for Durango testing facilities - if a local license is in place in time.

The state's mandatory testing rule takes effect July 1, and Aurum Labs and Green Lab Solutions are asking city officials to create a license for the testing, owners said. The labs test for marijuana potency, mold and bacteria.

Their request is reasonable, said Councilor Dick White, who was approached by Aurum Labs representatives about creating a city license.

Gov. Hickenlooper vetoes "red light camera" bill Office of the Governor

Thursday, June 2, 2016 - Gov. John Hickenlooper today vetoed House Bill 16-1231, "Concerning the Limited Use of Automated Vehicle Identification Systems Designed to Detect Disobedience to a Traffic Signal."

"Last year, we wrote to the General Assembly on several occasions in agreement that use of traffic photo-enforcement tools should be limited and used only in a manner that instills trust in government and confidence that public safety is paramount," said Hickenlooper.

"House Bill 16-1231 implements no such reasonable limitations. Rather, the bill enacts a State- imposed blanket ban on red light cameras for all municipalities, denying communities the right to decide for themselves based on their own traffic safety needs."

A copy of the governor's veto letter is attached to this press release.
