By Bob Norris Everyone reading this paper has likely had trouble finding childcare or paying for it or knows somebody who has experienced this.  So why do we hear very little about this in public discussions? Quality early childhood education would be a great benefit for the children who could attend, would allow mothers to work so that they’re not living in poverty and would provide employees for many businesses. So why don’t we talk about this? More importantly, why don’t we do something about this? When we try to, why is there such pushback? Why is it there’s so much reluctan ..read more

Bill will make it harder for pet owners to access veterinary care Last month, amid ongoing efforts to expand access to veterinary telemedicine in a number of states across the country, Colorado took a major step backward. As a Coloradan and pet owner, I was extremely disappointed when the state legislature passed Colorado House Bill 1048, which will make it even harder for Colorado pet owners to access the veterinary care their pets need. HB 1048, which blocks Colorado-licensed veterinarians from practicing telemedicine or prescribing medication absent a recent, in-person exam, will ..read more

The Chicago Tribune on how Amid the chaos, America’s elite campuses can’t educate: On Monday afternoon, New York’s Columbia University looked like a military installation, not one of the most storied institutions of learning in the United States.

The alleged torture and killing of an adolescent female wolf earlier this year in Wyoming has brought international outrage, a demand that the perpetrator be incarcerated and policies reformed to prevent any more cruelty to predators. Kathleen Parker Washington Post When it comes to wolves in Wyoming, where wildlife is plentiful and people are scarce, it’s open season, 24/7/365. No license is required in “predator zones,” which cover 85% of the state. In 2021, the Republican-led legislature passed a law calling for the extermination of 90% of the state’s gray wolves. The state also protects hu ..read more

“From a distance, the world looks blue and green / And the snow-capped mountains white. From a distance, the ocean meets the stream / And the eagle takes to flight,” Julie Gold sang in 1985.  The haunting lyrics of that song give me solace as many of my friends complain about controversial problems in the Boulder area now and in recent years. Several examples that create rancor and acrimony are: Worsening and widespread potholes on most Boulder roadways; illegal homeless campsites in downtown and under bridges and along bike paths; new hotel and dense housing developments that exacerbate ..read more

Members of our Community Editorial Board, a group of community residents who are engaged with and passionate about local issues, respond to the following question: Gov. Jared Polis recently signed a bill that will block cities across Colorado from creating or enforcing residential occupancy limits based on family relationships. Your take? On the plus side, the rancorous city council decision to override the will of the people on occupancy is now moot, though the gall of some members was astounding. Praise Mark Wallach for speaking out on principle.  This issue, like many, is colored gray ..read more
