The law that gave personhood to corporations can be directly blamed for the current division within the city of Grand Junction. Normally city council elections are ho-hum affairs, and not many people pay attention. I started paying attention when I realized that the Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce was stacking the deck. Western Colorado Business […]
Periodically we have run a "mailbag" at Colorado Pols, generally dubbed "Ask Alva." We put out the call for questions in late March, and now we give you the answers. For our next "Ask Alva" feature, we expect you to do a lot better with the questions. We had a lot about technical problems (we're […]
Actually things were pretty peaceful. I got to Civic Center at noon and strolled through the crowd encountering a whiff of Mary Jane (better than a whiff of grapeshot I suppose). Shortly thereafter we proceeded to head down to the 16th St. Mall with various chants like “We are the 99 per centers !” and […]
Just when it seems like most people have moved on past the primary last year Doug Linkhart is making it clear he has not let it go. Today I got the email below titled We Backed Andrew Romanoff — Now We Support Doug Linkhart from the Linkhart campaign. A couple weeks ago I got a […]

Denver: A City of Resilience, High Expectations and Determination
My name is James Mejia, and I am running to be the next Mayor of Denver, Colorado.
Over the past six months I have traveled to every corner of our city to listen to people talk about Denver’s future. In many conversations people talked about our unmatched arts and culture scene, some talked about selecting their neighborhood because they are near beautiful parks, and others talked about our great outdoor culture. In every conversation I have been reminded what a privilege it is to live in Denver.
Denver is ranked top five in bicycle friendly cities, top three in green canopy and top five in best places to do business. The problem is that none of these measures take note of how many people are struggling in our city today. We all know someone who is unemployed or underemployed. We must put the city back to work.
A bill sponsored by Rep. Dan Pabon and Sen. Lucia Guzman, both of Denver, that would make organ donation something Coloradans would have to “opt-out” of has created some controversy. As The Huffington Post Denver reports: Colorado’s proposal, introduced in the Legislature last week, would change the process for renewing driver’s licenses and ID cards […]
Note: During the next year, I’ll occasionally be asking former Denver journalists what they’ve been up to since disappearing from the Denver journalism scene-and what they think of the state of Colorado journalism these days. I previously queried Bob Ewegen. Jim Spencer, the former metro columnist for The Denver Post, was kind enough to answer […]
I have really great parents who live in the southern part of Colorado Springs. I love my mom and dad very much, they’re good hardworking people who have earned the retirement Dad is just about to start. And they’re very sincere conservative Republicans. Who get duped constantly by right-wing propaganda. I can’t tell you how […]
At 2:15PM today, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey of the arch-conservative advocacy group FreedomWorks will be giving Rep. Marilyn Musgrave an award highlighting her agreeing with him 95% of the time. From their press release: Heading into the November election, Coloradans are focusing on the economy and pocketbook issues. Voters are faced with a […]
These stories from yesterday were highlighted by Dan Savage at SLOG, and the emphasis in the quotes is his. First there was this story in the NYT: He was a carefree Italian with a recent law degree from a Roman university. She was “a totally Virginia girl,” as she puts it, raised across the road […]
