With first-of-its-kind law, Colorado officials can now block you on social media

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:12:16 GMT

Elected officials in Colorado can now ban people from their private social media pages for any reason under a bipartisan bill signed into law Monday, a first-of-its-kind statute that’s prompted criticism from First Amendment advocates.But with a potentially decisive U.S. Supreme Court decision looming, will the new law stand?HB23-1306, enacted into law with Gov. Jared Polis’ signature, seeks to draw a line between officials’ public and private social media pages. Under the law, a public page — like one linked directly to an office or run using public resources — couldn’t ban anyone from interacting with it. But a private one — an account that predates an official’s election or one that’s kept distinct from official action — now can.It’s the first law of its kind in the United States, First Amendment experts and the bill’s proponents say. It follows standards set by a federal appellate court, which ruled in 2022 ...

Recent rains, snowmelt raises reservoirs, swells rivers, thickens grass and trees around Colorado

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:12:16 GMT

Snow melting steadily in Colorado’s mountains, combined with a soppingly wet May and early June, has left water storage reservoirs relatively full and rivers flowing at normal or higher-than-normal levels, easing drought anxieties.The rain falling regularly across metro Denver and the high plains brought near-record moisture, which has saturated soils to the point they are primed for flooding. And vegetation in cities and farm fields is thickening. This means reduced demands for water that, in typical years, draw down reservoirs. Denver Water officials this week ramped up releases from the 96% full Dillon Reservoir through its dam into the Blue River, a tributary of the Colorado River. The utility officials touted benefits for fish, other aquatic life and possibly people who want to go rafting.National Weather Service data on rainfall from May 1 through June 6 shows the following totals:Castle Rock with 12.07 inchesCentennial with 10 inchesAurora with 10.8 inchesDenver with 8....

But that changed in the first quarter, with Colorado in the camp of states with bigger losses, according to a report Thursday from CoreLogic.The losses aren’t big enough for most people to notice and most owners retain a huge cushion of equity that should help them get through a recession, said Selma Hepp, chief economist with CoreLogic on Thursday at the National Association of Real Estate Editors in Las Vegas“It only matters if you have to sell your home,” she said.U.S. homeowners with mortgages, which is roughly 63% of the total, saw their equity decline 0.7% on average in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period last year. That works out to a cumulative loss in wealth of $108.4 billion, or about $5,400 per borrower.In Colorado, homeowners lost on average $23,000 in equity, or more than four times the loss per...
