Drug dealers who sell lethal fentanyl doses rarely prosecuted under new Colorado law

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:56:46 GMT

Prosecutions of drug dealers who sell fatal doses of fentanyl remain scarce in Colorado nearly a year after state lawmakers enacted harsher penalties for fentanyl sales that end in death.Since the law became effective July 1, Colorado prosecutors have filed nine cases against people suspected of dealing fentanyl that killed someone, court data shows. In that same time, at least 611 Coloradans have died of fentanyl overdoses, state health data shows.During the debate over the 2022 bill, prosecutors and law enforcement officials said the creation of a criminal charge of fentanyl distribution resulting in death would give them another needed tool to stem the flow of the synthetic opioid into communities and hold dealers accountable.Families of people who died of fentanyl also asked for change and criticized police for not investigating their loved ones’ dealers under existing drug distribution laws.But criminal cases under the new law remain rare. Only three of the state’s ...

The Eagles’ Joe Walsh, Mumford & Sons and Phish show why Chuck Morris’ CSU music-biz program is growing so fast

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:56:46 GMT

When Eagles singer and guitarist Joe Walsh popped into Colorado State University on Thursday to speak via video, he highlighted the stellar curation that makes the school’s music-business program such a hit — thanks in large part to the reputation of founder Chuck Morris.“Chuck and I have been able to bring in people the parents can relate to, but also people the students can relate to, so it’s a balance,” said Eric Griffin, assistant director of CSU’s three-year-old Music Business Program. “It’s taking our list of 16 weeks and looking at who we can get.”That includes not only Walsh, but names that college students would likely recognize, such as up-and-coming Boulder band The Velveteers, which has lately been opening for The Black Keys, singer-songwriter Neil Francis, and EDM artist GRiZ.Colorado’s The Velveteers are breaking out nationally — and playing Denver’s Gothic Theatre on Friday, Nov. 16.

Colorado county flouts state law aimed at curbing gerrymandering

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:56:46 GMT

Weld County has a message for the state of Colorado: stay out of our business.At least when it comes to establishing new boundaries for the districts the county’s five commissioners are elected to represent.Weld County completed the task of redistricting — an exercise accompanying every decennial census — on March 1, despite accusations that it bypassed a state statute revamping the way some counties in Colorado must draw up their new lines. HB 1047, passed in 2021, calls for counties with commissioners who are elected by district only — as opposed to at-large — must follow a more comprehensive and public process that takes into consideration factors beyond the chief mandate to adjust districts for even population size.That’s all well and good, Weld County attorney Bruce Barker told The Denver Post, but it’s not something his county needs to worry about.“The state constitution guarantees the right to organize a county government accord...

Colorado lawmakers look to TABOR surplus to pay for big-dollar priorities for Democrats

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:56:46 GMT

A chunk of Colorado’s forecasted tax rebates could be directed toward tax credits for parents and low- to moderate-income residents and to promote decarbonization under a slate of proposals from Democratic legislators.The proposals wouldn’t eat the entirety of some $2 billion in projected rebates in coming years, but show a willingness by legislative leaders to tap into excess revenues — ones otherwise slated for blanket refunds to taxpayers — for policy priorities.“We look to that surplus and certainly want to find ways to think about using dollars in the right way for the people we serve,” House Speaker Julie McCluskie said.In Colorado, the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR, caps how much revenue the state can collect. Anything collected in excess of it needs to be returned. Lawmakers have historically used different mechanisms for those rebates, most recently the $750 “Colorado Cashback” checks that went out last fall.McClus...

Two new interactive art pieces downtown invite visitors to play, reflect on the world around them

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:56:46 GMT

Interactive art is only as good as its activators. That is to say, people need to push, pull, climb, punch and explore with verve when they encounter a piece of art that asks them to take part in its success, or it is doomed to fail.Two new works installed downtown this weekend make that inviting. Check that; both pieces actually make that irresistible. They are big, playful, credible and uncomplicated. Each is an oversized art-toy that sparks joy while asking people to experience their world from a new perspective. The first, “Pipelines,” a sprawling outdoor piece by Canadian artists Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster, which debuted Tuesday as part of the international confab known as the Cities Summit of the Americas, though it will be up through Sept. 10. The piece, a 115-foot-long by 22-foot-wide weave of PVC pipes, brings life to the newly named Plaza of the Americas at 15th and Wewatta streets.“Ikebana” is a giant, plastic, inflatable sculpture by Mexico City-based artist ...

Collectability – Flaunting their Expertise in Patek Philippe Timepieces

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:56:46 GMT

Initially, timepieces were categorized under luxury items that only the wealthy could afford due to the technology and skill required to manufacture them. Breguet made the first wristwatch in 1810 for the Queen of Naples, but Patek Philippe is often credited as the true pioneer because of the watch he made for Hungarian countess in 1868.Watches began to be mass-produced after the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century, making them accessible to a wide range of people in the society, particularly the newly formed middle class. The watch industry grew at the end of the 19th and early 20th century to the point where there was a timepiece for almost every person based on their budget and need. However, by the 21st century, keeping track of time became so easy through mobile phones, kitchen appliances, and televisions that wrist watches began to lose their status as a luxury item.In the modern era, vintage watches could have become obsolete as their purpose has been largely fulf...
