Letters: I’m tired of Denver’s dirty streets, and we can’t only blame the homeless

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:03:01 GMT

Elected officials could really clean upTo our elected representatives, including Gov. Jared Polis and the 17 individuals who believe they are best qualified to lead the great city of Denver as our next mayor:What has happened to our once-beautiful city and the municipalities that make up the greater Denver metropolitan area? Garbage and debris are overtaking our streets, highways and neighborhoods.The candidates say they have “a plan” to fix homelessness, affordable housing, and the dramatic increase in crime in our once beautiful city. Still, no one is talking about how our once beautiful metropolitan area is, well, not so beautiful anymore. It’s not just an eyesore; it’s a safety issue.The amount of garbage on our streets and highways is overwhelming. Our streets are littered with large, dangerous obstacles like fenders, bumpers, tires and furniture.The people sleeping on the streets are a contributing factor, but certainly not the primary cause of the problem. This is not a Democ...

Colorado judge hit with “intimidating” admonishment over judicial reform work, attorney says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:03:01 GMT

A Colorado judge cried foul this week after he was admonished by the leader of the state office that disciplines attorneys for professional misconduct, while the leader defended her actions.El Paso County District Court Judge David Prince was reprimanded not because of actual wrongdoing but because he is a member of the Commission on Judicial Discipline, the group responsible for disciplining the state’s judges, Prince’s attorney David Kaplan claimed in a letter last week.But Attorney Regulation Counsel Jessica Yates, who sent the critical letter to Prince, said she was simply acting on her professional responsibilities.“Despite all my privilege and all my ability to fight… when I received that letter, my wife is in tears for a couple of nights, my blood pressure hit a 15-year high,” Prince told the House Judiciary Committee in a hearing at the state Capitol on Wednesday. “…I feared for my career. I effectively have to give up what were my p...

Colorado could be latest state to allow automated pharmacy machines as bill passes House

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:03:01 GMT

Coloradans may soon be able to fill prescriptions via a video screen and a pre-loaded dispensing machine, thanks to a bipartisan bill that sailed through the House earlier this month.Just don’t call them vending machines.“We call them automated kiosks, rather than vending machines,” said Amy Gutierrez, the chief pharmacy officer for UCHealth. She was the president of California’s pharmacy board when that state signed off on the kiosks several years ago. “From a professional standpoint, they’re connected to a pharmacist.”Pitched as a way to improve access to medications at odd hours and in underserved areas, HB23-1195 would allow these kiosks to open across Colorado. The machines, which look like refrigerators with a large screen and opening, would be pre-loaded with prescriptions, already counted and filled. A live human pharmacist, connected via video link, would consult with the patient and clear the way for the medicine to be dispensed. C...

Strong cast, familiar tropes give “Champions” winning formula

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:03:01 GMT

The Farrelly brothers — Peter and Bobby — reigned supreme over comedies of questionable taste in the 1990s and 2000s (“Dumb and Dumber,” “There’s Something About Mary,” “Shallow Hal,” “Stuck on You”), but while brother Peter has gone on to the industry’s highest success, picking up best original screenplay and best picture Oscars for his film “Green Book,” Bobby hasn’t directed a film in awhile. He makes his comeback with his “Kingpin” star Woody Harrelson in the sports comedy “Champions,” an English-language remake of the 2018 Spanish smash hit, the Goya Award-winning, “Campeones.”Given the Farrelly track record of dabbling in more outre or offensive comedy, one might be bracing for what “Champions” may potentially deliver, given that it follows a minor league basketball coach, Marcus (Harrelson) who is sentenced to community service after a drunk driving accident, which is how he finds himself coaching a team of intellectually disabled adults at a local community center in D...

Avoid prison by paying up? Judge’s ire in Steve Bachar case spotlights plea deals contingent on money upfront

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:03:01 GMT

When Denver District Court Judge Eric Johnson rejected a plea agreement in a white-collar crime case last week, he gave a very specific reason for throwing out the deal.“Justice in this society cannot be seen as buying oneself out of a felony conviction,” the judge told defendant Steve Bachar, who’d accepted an offer from the Denver District Attorney’s Office that would have allowed him to avoid jail time and have a felony theft conviction wiped from his record if he pleaded guilty and met certain conditions, including paying $174,000 upfront to the victim in the case.Johnson called the deal “contrary to justice” during the hearing Friday and noted that people have gone to prison for stealing much less money. His refusal to accept the deal put a spotlight on plea bargains in which prosecutors require defendants to pay upfront restitution as part of the agreement, a practice seen on occasion in Colorado’s courts.Critics like Johnson say the d...

Gather round, some hot new travel inspo just dropped. TIME magazine has just released its annual list of the World’s Greatest Places, and we’re here to tell you the where, the why and the what behind its picks.The nominations came from TIME’s international network of correspondents and contributors, which were then vetted by the publication’s editors who also “combed through local news from the Arctic Circle to Brisbane, Australia, to find the most-buzzed-about openings,” Emma Barker Bonomo, senior editor at TIME, tells CNN Travel.“The list we selected reflects a couple big trends in travel right now: sustainability, and authenticity.
