"If this becomes law ... an entire committee could meet a week before the session begins to discuss a hypothetical bill they are likely to hear in the next session, hammer out the details of that bill, and not violate the open meeting laws." #coleg denverpost.com/2024/02/22/se…

"We never intended for this story to reach an international audience, but that’s what happened when a thief decided to prevent others from reading the story and stole the newspapers out of a dozen racks in Ridgway and Ouray last week." via @ocplaindealer ouraynews.com/2024/01/24/loc…

Someone didn't like this edition of @ocplaindealer. (Guess which article.) So they stole nearly every newspaper out of our racks in Ouray County. If you hoped to silence or intimidate us, you failed miserably. We'll find out who did this. And another press run is imminent.

Colorado’s 2024 Presidential primary ballot is certified. The United States Supreme Court has accepted the case, and Donald Trump will appear on the ballot as a result.

Also in February, I spoke with @CityReads about Howard’s all-black swim team — the only one in the U.S. It’s a great story about believing in HBCU’s and how their mission extends beyond the pool. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Deion Sanders has overhauled CU’s football team in the nine months since he was named head coach. As the season begins, what will constitute success for one of the boldest experiments in major college football? ow.ly/pi5c50PE6qL

Some news: today is my last day covering the #Nuggets for @denverpost. The last five seasons were amazing on many levels. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I had to reach fans, build meaningful relationships, & cover a title run. And I'm very excited for what's next.

This is an incredible look at the academic sacrifices Colorado agreed to to hire Sanders and just how much he's infiltrated every aspect of the university. 5280.com/the-deion-sanders-e…

As usual, a stellar read from a Tiger in the Rockies.
A CU professor was accused of racism by colleagues for calling out Deion Sanders' comments on single mothers & poverty. CU faculty told higher-ups the school sold its soul for football wins. And there's much more in my @5280Magazine story on Coach Prime: 5280.com/the-deion-sanders-e…
