Nice work stitching together contributions from five different reporters (never easy to do!) to come up with the six most dominant themes of the 2026 Colorado legislative session. #copolitics #coleg coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/s...

This initiative would siphon money from other critical needs in Colorado. It is driven by a scarcity mindset in which everyone fights for scraps when we really need to be thinking about fair and reasonable ways to increase the size of the pie. coloradosun.com/2026/05/07/r...

Protect Colorado's Future has trained 500 people to collect signatures to get the graduated income tax on the ballot!

If it looks like a payday loan and acts like a payday loan, it should be regulated like one. The @bellpolicy.bsky.social's Andrea Kuwik is quoted in this story about so-called earned wage access loans, which bear remarkable similarities to payday loans. #copolitics www.denverpost.com/2026/03/31/c...
