Letters: If Fox News hadn’t settled, imagine Tucker Carlson on the stand

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:48:00 GMT

If only they hadn’t settled with Fox News, democracy could have wonRe: “Dominion, Fox settle for $787M,” April 19 news storyRight now, large swathes of our country question our democracy and believe our current administration is illegitimate. At an open Fox-Dominion trial, Fox News executives and personalities, under oath, would have told our country that the presidential election was not stolen, that they never believed it was, that they did it for the money, and that the past president and his defenders had lied to them.While the trial would have been over a defamation suit, it could have cleansed our society of the poison that now debilitates us. While Dominion had its own business reasons for settling the suit, the settlement is a great disservice to our country.Steve Billig, DenverHospitals preparing for school mass casualty eventsOn March 22nd, a phone call interrupted our daily rounds on our hospitalized and critically ill pediatric patients.

The restaurant and entertainment venue in Lakewood is expected to reopen in May.When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in March 2020, shutting down businesses and locking locals at home, it ruined spring break plans for school-age kids nationwide.

Longmont Armenian immigrant family worries flight mix-up could derail brother’s citizenship chances

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:48:00 GMT

Maria Stepanyan and her brother were doing everything by the book.Stepanyan, a U.S. citizen who immigrated from Armenia after enduring war in her childhood, applied 13 years ago to have her brother join her in the U.S. and escape the continuing conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.“I’ve been trying to live my life here, go to my job, take my kid to school, cook a dinner, while following the news in Armenia to see what’s happening,” Stepanyan said. “Whose name is on the screen as a dead person? Who else is drafted? Do I have touch with my brother? Is he still there?”She, their mother, and Stepanyan’s husband, Charlie Hickman, have lived in Longmont for years, and Stepanyan’s brother, whom she wished not to name for his safety in Armenia, has been visiting them on and off for the past 10 years on travel visas while they wait for the application to process.However, an apparent mix-up and possible deportation in Germany on her brother’s flight back to Armenia after his most recent vi...

After soaring energy bills, legislation aims to level playing field for utility customers

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:48:00 GMT

Members of a joint legislative committee investigating why Colorado utility bills shot up so dramatically this winter have proposed a bill meant to protect customers against future price shocks and level what some see as a playing field tilted in the utilities’ favor.The bill, introduced Wednesday and sponsored by Democrats on the committee, proposes the short-term solution of setting a cap on how much of a regulated utility’s increased fuel costs it could pass on to customers. Regulators could spread out the costs over a period of time.Regulated utilities pass through wholesale fuel costs to customers without a markup. Legislators have suggested the companies might have more incentive to seek the lowest prices if they weren’t assured of recouping all their costs.Longer-term proposals include a study to determine whether new investments in natural gas facilities will saddle ratepayers with expensive plants and pipelines they won’t need as power increasingly c...

Popular Vietnamese food truck opening two brick-and-mortar spaces

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:48:00 GMT

Pho King Rapidos’ food truck might be slowing to a stop, but owners Long Nguyen and Shauna Seaman are on the move.The popular Denver food truck, which introduced its menu — Vietnamese food heavily spiced with other ethnic and geographic influences — in 2020, is getting ready to open its first brick-and-mortar space in Avanti Denver, located at 3200 N. Pecos St., on May 9, and a second in Park Hill this summer. Nguyen said the food truck will pause service at the end of April, and they have no immediate plans to bring it back yet.“Avanti gives you an opportunity to test your food in a restaurant setting, and you don’t have to set it up top to bottom like a food truck,” Nguyen said. “It also gives you the opportunity to be exposed to a lot more guests, who maybe didn’t want to travel to our brewery spots in the past and now have a central location.”Pho King Rapidos will take over Meta Asian Kitchen’s previous space on the first floor of Avanti. Meta is now at Honor Farm, t...

DPS would no longer target smallest schools when making closure plans under new board proposal

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:48:00 GMT

As Denver Public Schools prepares to close schools to combat falling enrollment, the district’s Board of Education is considering a policy change to no longer focus solely on the district’s smallest schools.The policy, if adopted by the board, would direct Superintendent Alex Marrero to develop a consolidation plan that does not use enrollment minimums, such as the 215-student threshold recommended by a community committee last year, as a “bright line criteria.”This would mean schools of any size are “eligible for consolidation,” according to the draft policy.“As kindergarten enrollment has declined since 2014, a stigma now exists for ‘small schools,’ which can accelerate the school’s enrollment decline,” the latest draft of the policy says.By removing the threshold, board member Scott Baldermann said it is his hope that the “burden” of declining enrollment won’t be concentrated on the district’s smallest schools.The goal, he said, “Is to make sure that all s...
