Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:20:46 GMT

Two Democratic lawmakers have filed a lawsuit against the Colorado House of Representatives and its leaders, alleging a “series of long-standing practices” that violated the state’s open-meetings laws.Reps. Elisabeth Epps and Bob Marshall, both of whom just finished their first terms in the House, filed the lawsuit and wrote that they became aware of alleged “pervasive violations” of the state open-meetings law shortly after they began working as legislators in January. They allege that House Democrats — who make up a supermajority of the chamber — met privately, typically every week, to discuss legislation and that those meetings were not announced publicly.Epps and Marshall also accuse their leadership of directing legislative aides “to omit or disguise these mandatory meetings from Representatives’ calendars.”The suit was filed against the top Democrats in the House, Speaker Julie McCluskie and Majority Leader Monica Dur...

On the 150th anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre, I stood on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol when then-Governor John Hickenlooper delivered an official apology for the massacre perpetrated on my people.After he said “I am sorry!” he turned around and shook the hands of Cheyenne and Arapaho representatives. When he shook mine, I told him: “My relative White Antelope was there and what was done to him is unspeakable. My great-grandfather Vehoc was there and what happened to him is unthinkable.”He nodded his head and promised that Colorado will not run from this history. Almost a decade later I ask, again, what has been done to address the inter-generational effects of genocide? And I ask in the same breath, what is being done to address the inter-generational effects of climate change?The devastating storms that hit Colorado around the Solstice, including rivers of hail and a tornado in Highlands Ranch, are a sign that cannot be ignored anymore. For our people the Solstice ...
