A multi-agency crackdown on the violent Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, street gang over the last four years has metro Denver authorities hopeful they have at least temporarily disrupted its operations here, but they warn a porous border is an invitation for gang members to return.Prosecutors have completed cases leading to the conviction and sentencing of 15 MS-13 members, including a “shot-caller” nicknamed “Diablo” with MS marked on his forehead and chest and another leader with MS tattooed on his belly and 13s on his legs. In addition, an alleged national leader living in Thornton has been indicted by a U.S. attorney, accused of directing killings in New York.

Colorado won’t enforce “abortion pill reversal” treatment ban until late October

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:09:44 GMT

Colorado’s ban on a controversial abortion-reversal treatment won’t take effect until late October or later under a decision this week to delay enforcement of new state medical rules.The Colorado Medical Board cited a pending lawsuit by a Catholic clinic challenging the state’s new ban on the treatment when it voted Wednesday to push back enforcement of its rules until at least Oct. 23. The board’s rules had taken effect in mid-August following their adoption, and two other professional boards are still considering related rules.Lawmakers earlier this year banned clinics from providing the hormone progesterone to patients who want to keep their pregnancies after previously taking medication to induce abortions — a practice that prominent medical groups, including the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, say has no scientific basis.Senate Bill 23-190 prohibits the use of “deceptive advertising” by crisis pregnancy centers and designates ...

Colorado business leaders are much less worried about finding new workers than they were a year ago, but they have increasingly soured on the state’s regulatory climate, and a host of new labor laws passed in recent years are cited as a chief reason why.“Having conducted more than 50 studies of businesses in other states, this is the greatest concern about the regulatory climate that I’ve ever recorded,” said Pat McFerron, president at Cole Hargrave Snodgrass & Associates, which surveyed 156 Colorado business leaders between June 26 to July 28.McFerron, speaking on a Zoom call to discuss the results, said the high cost of doing business is causing a “striking” number of businesses based in the state to consider expanding and making investments elsewhere.“Lawmakers need to understand that every new regulatory burden coming from the capitol has a real impact on jobs and economic growth. The data is clear – we’re losing out to other states because of our business ...

Will a strong El Niño bode well for Colorado ski resorts?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:09:44 GMT

A strong El Niño weather pattern has set up in the Pacific Ocean, which could be good news for skiers and snowboarders in Colorado’s southern mountains. But the National Weather Service’s 90-day outlook is forecasting above-average temperatures for Colorado’s high country through November, which doesn’t sound like good news at all.Here’s the reality that may be most important for snow riders to bear in mind as they wonder what kind of snow season is in store for Colorado resorts: Meteorologists always caution that long-range forecasting is often wrong.Last year is a good example. Sam Collentine, a Colorado-based meteorologist for the OpenSnow forecasting and reporting service, recently analyzed predictions made a year ago with a post headlined: “Did Anyone Accurately Forecast the 2022-23 Winter Season?”“Nearly every three- to six-month forecast was far from accurate,” Collentine said via email this week while traveling in Europe....
