Hell yeah. I want to applaud Mayor Mike Johnston for laying the path forward for local communities to pursue universal childcare. TABOR makes it exceedingly challenging, and I’m hopeful the task force will develop a repeatable model that communities across the front range can follow.

250 years ago, 56 ordinary people signed their own death warrant for the radical idea that free people should govern themselves. They left us a responsibility. Patriotism means believing America is worth perfecting. The rest of the story belongs to us. 🇺🇸

There’s been some confusion about Tuesday’s Flock camera decision. Speaking from my perspective, Council didn’t end the program. It paused expansion, stopped data sharing, and asked staff for alternatives by March 2026. This article sums it up. boulderreportinglab.org/2025/12/11/l...
