Nancy Mucker, President HMCAI On behalf of the entire HMCAI Board, I would like to thank all the volun- teers who heeded our call for help for the July 4th picnic. Thank you so much for your efforts. It made a big difference and I think this was our best picnic yet. We had a great turnout; the Parade was wonderful, as were the games. Our grillers turned out to be excellent grill masters. I love the music, the old fashioned feel of folks getting together and spending time together. We had many many new neighbors join in the fun of the picnic. Several folks told me they had heard wonderful things about the picnic and our neighborhood and were so happy to be part of it. I don’t know the exact statistics of how many new people have moved into Historic Montclair in recent years, but in my 13 years here, the demographics have really changed. When I first became involved with HMCAI and the picnic, our little bike parade went around the sidewalk circle that surrounds the playground. And everyone went at once! But in the course of a few short years, we now are using Richthofen Parkway and have to do it in heats. And I think we are a very diverse neighborhood that makes Historic Montclair even more vital and fun. In October at our General Meeting on October 16, we will have 2013-2014 Board elections for HMCAI. With all the changes having come to our community, it would be great to see more young parents get involved with the Board. I know the time and effort needed for raising a fami- ly, helping with the neighborhood schools, etc., takes up a lot of time. But if you would be inter- ested in joining our Board, please check out the separate article calling for new Board members in this issue of the newsletter. But I’m not limiting our call for new Board members to just young families. If you’re new to the community and would like to get more involved with HMCAI, please consider. I will close by saying that I think this summer has been the closest to “an average” Colorado sum- mer that I can remember in my 13 years in Colorado. I visited here every summer for 25 years prior to moving here, and this has been a summer like I remember from many years past. It’s been warm, but we’ve not had the endless days of 100 degrees and cloudless blue skies with not a hint of rain. There have actually been afternoon rains to cool things off. This is the first summer my parkway grass is actually green in August! But all the rain has caused real damage on the burn scars, particularly around the Waldo Canyon burn scar in Manitou Springs. My company allows us to do a team volunteer day and our department has signed up with Outdoor Colorado to work on fire remediation, seed planting, etc. near Woodland Park, to help with the Waldo Canyon fire damage. We’re scheduled to go on September 26th. If you’re interested in outdoor volunteer- ing (building trails, etc.), check out www.voc.org. I’ll report back in my next note on our experi- ence. www.HistoricMontclair.org 3 Montclair Garage Sale Time is Near September 21st 8:30 - 3:30 At your own homes. Great for getting rid of your junk, collect- ables, sports equipment you never use, clothing etc. Please contact Valerie Alford at [email protected] or 303-641-6823 Send me a general list of items you intend to sell, street address, name, a photo of one special item if you like (not necessary) I will, in turn, provide a list of all partici- pants and their items, place ads in Craig’s list and other inter- net garage sale web sites and deliver signs to you.

For those of you who weren’t able to attend, here’s a little synopsis of some of what we discussed: • Did you know that our Colorado Legislature – otherwise known as the General Assembly, (GA), meets for 120 days every year, from the second week in January through the second week in May? We are not at all like the US Congress, which meets year round with various recesses.

  • The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard
    The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard A Letter from Our Executive Director: Dear Members of The Arc Community, Once again, I would like to thank each of you for your part in a successful legislative session. We rely on your expertise in the field. We rely on you for our strength in numbers. For all the ways you contributed this session, we are deeply appreciative. I would like to give a special thanks to those that came and testified on our behalf; Stephanie Garcia, Carol Meredith, Linda Skafflen, Shelby Lowery, Vicki Wray, Rowan Frederiksen, and many others who I may not have mentioned here. This session was a historic one. For the first time in 75 years, one party had control of the house, senate, and governor’s office. Additionally, there were 43 new legislators! We enjoyed a productive year in which The Arc of Colorado monitored 100 bills. Of those that we supported, 92% were signed by the governor and 100% of the bills that we opposed died. This high success rate means that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families will have more opportunity to better live, work, learn, and play in their Colorado communities, with increased support. We are excited about many of this year’s outcomes. In a very tight budget year, the Joint Budget Committee was able to free up money for 150 additional slots for the Developmental Disabilities waiver waitlist. After three years of involvement, we finally saw the passing of HB19-1194, which places restrictions on suspensions and expulsions of children from preschool, through to second grade.

In 2011, a group of plaintiffs, including a small minority of state legislators, brought a federal suit claiming that TABOR causes Colorado’s government to no longer be republican in form, an alleged violation of the Guarantee Clause, Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution. The court of appeals held that the political question doctrine does not bar federal courts from resolving this kind of dispute and that the Legislator-Plaintiffs have standing to redress the alleged diminution of their legislative power. The questions presented are as follows: 1. Whether, after this Court’s decision in New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144 (1992), Plaintiffs’ claims that Colorado’s government is not republican in form remain non-justiciable political questions.

This year, there will be added significance to the turnover before the 2017 General Assembly, because both the House and Senate will lose their respective leaders due to term limits. Speaker of the House Dickey Lee Hullinghorst and President of the Senate Bill Cadman are unable to run for election again because of term limits. In all, seven Democrats are term-limited in the Senate. In the House, Democrats face the prospect of replacing nine members; however, some of these folks are running for Senate seats.

    Office of SECRETARY OF STATE State of Colorado Scott Gessler, Secretary of State William A. Hobbs, Deputy Secretary of State Judd Choate, Director of Elections Elections Division Office of the Secretary of State 1700 Broadway, Suite 200 Denver, CO 80290 Phone: (303) 894-2200 ext. 6307 2010 ABSTRACT OF VOTES CAST Official Publication of the Abstract of Votes Cast for the 2010 Primary 2010 General To the Citizens of Colorado: The information in this abstract is compiled from material filed by each of Colorado’s 64 county clerk and recorders from the 2010 Primary and 2010 General elections. In 2010, more than 1.8 million Colorado citizens turned out to cast a vote for their government leadership. These votes helped elect a U.S. Senator and seven U.S. Representatives. At the state level, voters elected a governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, three state board of education members, three CU regents, 19 state senators, 65 state representatives, a district attorney and other county and local elected leaders. Voters also retained numerous judges and weighed in on nine questions regarding changes to state law. I encourage Colorado citizens to be actively involved in the democratic process—our democratic system of government is only as strong as the participation of its citizens. I hope you find this abstract to be informative. Sincerely, Scott Gessler Colorado Secretary of State ii Table of Contents Office Information ...............................................................................................................................................................................................
