  • Colorado Democratic Party 2018 Platform
    Colorado Democratic Party 2018 Platform Submitted to the Colorado Democratic Party Assembly By the Platform Committee of the State Party April 14, 2018 Christine Alonzo and Dennis Obduskey, Co-Chairs Includes Minority Report All Adopted by Voice Vote Committee Co-Chairs Overview ENERGIZED DEMOCRATS throughout the state contributed more effort and attention to the Platform Process this year than ever before. Beginning with engagement at local caucuses, then receiving support at county assemblies, several hundred new or updated resolutions, along with some county-level full platforms, were forwarded to the Platform Committee for evaluation. Items were received from most counties. It is never an easy task and is compounded by a compressed calendar giving the committee members only a few days to review and address assembly submissions. We have kept the Platform as short as possible and have fulfilled our goal of speaking to our SHARED VALUES, while not referring to specific issues or initiatives any more than necessary. We have kept the Platform relevant beyond the next election. Our efforts start with the existing prior platform and removal of outdated or other items. We chose to make the details shorter and adopt the initial “VALUES” statement as the core of the Platform from which everything following is derived. To that degree we succeeded in crafting a single-page statement, called “Our Platform – Our Values,” followed by supporting documentation on core topics and reduced the overall document by a third. Top topics deal with a strong support for some form of Universal Healthcare System, common sense gun control, pursuing Immigration reform and creating a pathway to citizenship for DACA families; and working to build a better public education system, from kindergarten through college, while tackling funding challenges.

  • Reviving the Public Ownership, Antispeculation, and Beneficial Use Moorings of Prior Appropriation Water Law
    REVIVING THE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP, ANTISPECULATION, AND BENEFICIAL USE MOORINGS OF PRIOR APPROPRIATION WATER LAW GREGORY J. HOBBS, JR.* This article addresses originating principles of Colorado prior appropriation water law and demonstrates how the Colorado Supreme Court has applied them in significant cases decided during the first decade of the twenty-first century, a sustained period of drought. These principles include public ownership of the water resource wherever it may be found within the state, allocation of available unappropriated surface water and tributary groundwater for appropriation by private and public entities in order of their adjudicated priorities, and the antispeculation and beneficial use limitations that circumscribe the amount and manner of use each water right is subject to. Demonstrating that Colorado water law is based on conservation of the public's water resource and its use by private persons, public entities, federal agencies, and Indian Tribes, the article focuses on the following points. Colorado's prior appropriation doctrine started off recognizing adjudication only of agricultural uses of water. Now it embraces environmental and recreational use, in addition to serving over five million persons, most of who live in urban and suburban areas. The viability of the water law is dependent upon faithful enforcement of water rights in order of their adjudicated priorities when there is not enough water available to serve all needs. At the same time, innovative methods have emerged to ameliorate strict prior * Member of the Colorado Supreme Court.

(2020). QUESTIONS PRESENTED AND SHORT ANSWERS Questions Presented. (1) When the effective date of enacted legislation to renew a regulatory program that is scheduled for sunset repeal falls on a date subsequent to the repeal date listed in the regulatory program’s organic act, but within the one-year wind-up period following that repeal date, is the enacted legislation effective as a matter of law in renewing the regulatory program? (2) Is the Occupational Therapy Practice Act at § 12-270-101, et seq., C.R.S., as amended by House Bill 20-1230, effective as a matter of law, despite having been legislatively renewed by House Bill 20-1230 which held an effective date falling after the Acts statutory sunset repeal date on September 1, 2020? Short Answers. (1) Yes. Because the provisions of § 24-34-104(2)(b), C.R.S., ensure that any regulatory program scheduled for sunset repeal shall continue for one year following the program’s scheduled sunset repeal date, that regulatory program’s organic act remains in effect as a matter of law for one year after the formal date set for sunset repeal.

REPORT TO GOVERNOR JOHN A. LOVE ON CERTAIN COLORADO WATER LAW PROBLEMS' By JOHN UNDEM CARLSON** In a semi-arid state like Colorado, the importance of water and the uses to which it is put loom large. As this resource approaches full utilization, concern that social and environ- mental values be protected becomes paramount. The resolution of these concerns is complicated by a system of water law rooted in the state constitution. The potentialities for and the difficulties of solution of the resource management problem within Colorado's water law system are highlighted in this article which should provide an impetus toward solution of the problems surrounding this most necessary and somewhat unpredictable resource. Originally a report prepared for Gov- ernor John A. Love, this article examines the water law of Colorado as it presently exists, and analyzes this body of law in relation to the state's interest in social and environmental uses.
