Writing a weekly political opinion column doesn’t require a commitment to balance. I am free to be just as biased as I’d like, but unrelenting partisan zealotry seems certain to

Denver voters will be considering a pair of citizen-initiated ordinances in November targeting specific business enterprises whose activities can only concern a fraction of residents on a daily basis. Why

I attended the quarterly meeting of the Interstate 70 Collaborative Effort (CE) last week in Frisco. The Aspens surrounding Lake Dillon are magnificent this year, apparently extra vivid because of a wetter than average summer. Next week will bring the quarterly conclave of the I-70 Coalition. The older of the pair and having weathered several iterations, this organization can be traced back to the Corridor Alliance for a Rapid Transit Solution (CARTS), formed in response to the 1995 Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Major Investment Study (MIS) of projected congestion along the central mountain corridor.

For nearly a decade, the Republican Party has been mesmerized by the "Make America Great Again" mantra. Implicit in the MAGA slogan is the presumption there was once a period

It's tempting to pontificate on last week's election results, but another ill-considered analysis will only shed more shade than light. It could be several months before we fully comprehend what voters really want. Suffice it to say, it's not likely to be what they will get. Nearly 15 million voters who threw President-elect Donald Trump to the curb in 2020 failed to show up on Nov. 5. Even half of them could have prevented his restoration. The upside to their dereliction is they can always return in 2028 to express either their satisfaction or irate disgust. Democracies operate on the principle: 'the customer is always right.'"
