Yep, I’ve re-branded for about the millionth time. This page won’t be updated anymore after this, and will probably shut down sometime in the near future. So, join us at http://colorado.justinfromtexas.com. I promise regular updates from now on!
Story is here.
I’m not a gun owner, mostly because I feel like I’d be tempting fate with how accident prone I am, but I do support this. As mentioned in the story, it’s a little odd that you have to pay to carry a gun under your clothing, but not if you carry it openly. This is the correct fix for this conflict.
In addition, these permits don’t protect law-abiding citizens from gun-wielding criminals. If anything, they protect the criminals!
Yep, these kick in at midnight. Nothing seems too bad on the surface, but it’s a bunch of government interference where it just isn’t needed.
Gazette has the story.
I see his point, and I agree that public radio doesn’t need government money, but I have to wonder if it’s time to put this aside for now. This whole battle is coming across as conservatives looking to get revenge for the firing of Juan Williams. I really think we need to be further removed from that incident before legislation cutting off NPR’s federal funding even has a chance of passing.
Story is here.
Needless to say, these officials are right. The example cited involves the U.S. Department of Transportation telling the county they’ve used the wrong font on several street signs. Seriously? The federal government is looking to control stuff that minuscule? Why can’t something like that be handled at the local level?
TPM has the story here.
I’m not even sure what to say here. Looks like a combination of nanny-statism and lobbyists getting their way is tripping up convenience stores and liquor stores. Yes, convenience and grocery stores should be able to sell the same stuff as liquor stores. The state disagrees, so making low-level alcohol products the domain of the non-liquor stores is a compromise? Seriously?
This looks to be one of the bigger stories coming off the AP Wire today.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand wanting to clarify a vague law, but I have the feeling this is just another means to persecute MMJ users in Colorado. Even though it’s legal, years of brainwashing about the evils of marijuana seem to be driving a backlash against the growing medical marijuana industry in Colorado.
If you’re going to test for THC levels, why not do the same for other legal drugs? For example, is there a maximum level of Vicodin, or any number of prescription pain killers, I can have in my system before facing charges of operating a vehicle when I’m not fit?
Story is here. Doesn’t look like it amounted to much, but getting arrested is protest gold.
You know, if someone could find some contact info for this organization, I’m not above setting up a counter protest of some sort next time around. Just sayin’.
Story is here, but as someone who made the same mistake, here’s the deal: there were 2 or 3 offices whose term limits were up for vote on the recent ballot. The way the issues were worded, it looked like we were being asked whether or not to limit these offices to a 3-term limit. However, if any of us had bothered to do our homework, we would have known that we were being asked to extend the term limit fro 2 to 3 terms.
Frustrating? Yes, but I feel that the fault rests with me and everyone else who voted without knowing the whole story. It isn’t worth paying for a do-over.
Lesson learned: don’t overlook city and county issues, questions, referenda, etc. Make sure you know with 100% certainty what you’re voting for.
