*This commentary is by Dr. Stuart C. Lord, executive director of the Boulder County Democratic Party, and a leadership scholar and advocate focused on civic trust and democratic participation.* Many Boulder residents will read about last week’s Supreme Court voting rights ruling in Louisiana v. Callais and instinctively place it in a familiar mental file: another Southern racial controversy, another Deep South redistricting dispute, another reminder that America still has unfinished racial business somewhere else. That reflex is precisely the problem. Boulder has long preferred to imagine itse

Boulder County has restricted public comment at two of its advisory boards, narrowing what had been a broader forum for residents to raise concerns. At its Parks and Open Space Advisory Committee, known as POSAC, public comment will now be limited to items on the board’s formal agenda. The change, announced at the board’s April meeting — its first since November — aligns POSAC with most other county advisory boards. The same change applies to the Historic Preservation Advisory Board, which will also limit public comment to agenda items. Boulder County’s boards are made up of volunteer resident

(Photo by Colin OBrien / Unsplash) If you’ve flown into Boston’s airport or explored its downtown, chances are you’ve stood on land that was once underwater in the city’s history and that is projected to be flooded in the future. The city has more made land than any other in North America: It added 5,250 acres of new land throughout its history, amounting to one-sixth of its current land area. Boston boldly refashioned its own geography by creating low-lying land, but in doing so has left some of the city’s most economically important neighborhoods and infrastructure vulnerable to flooding wit

(Phto by Andrej Lišakov / Unsplash) Cities will determine whether the world succeeds or fails in confronting climate change. Urban areas produce roughly 75% of global carbon emissions, a share that continues to grow as more people move to cities, and are also on the front lines of extreme heat, flooding, air pollution and other climate impacts. To guide how they grow and adapt to shape the best possible future of the planet, cities need cutting-edge scientific research – knowledge gaps that higher education institutions are well-positioned to help fill. By and large, academia remains distant f

*Justice, Democracy, and Law is a recurring series by Edward B. Foley that focuses on election law and the relationship of law and democracy.* Last week, the Supreme Court announced its decision in *Louisiana v. Callais*, striking down the state’s congressional map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, and – in doing so – obliterated the commitment of the Voting Rights Act to racial equality in elections. Although I had several immediate reactions to the decision, I wanted to allow for some time to reflect upon and absorb the court’s ruling. But my bottom line has changed very little from

The nation’s voting rights landscape is in upheaval since the U.S. Supreme Court last week dramatically weakened the Voting Rights Act in its *Louisiana vs. Callais *decision. Several GOP-run states (Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee at this time) are rushing into legislative special sessions to eliminate the majority-Black districts that were protected under Section 2 of the VRA, a key provision invoked in countless lawsuits challenging racially discriminatory maps. Authored by Justice Sam Alito, the majority opinion did not outright strike down Section 2, but Justice Elena Kagan’s dissent ca

In the early 1950s, when America’s suburbs boomed and television variety show host Dinah Shore belted out “See the USA in your Chevrolet,” fast-food and drive-in restaurants popped up everywhere. Boulder was no exception. Popular hamburger joints at the time included the Twinburger, then east of Boulder on Arapahoe Avenue. Twinburger and others from the 1950s are long gone, but two restaurant buildings from an even earlier era are still recognizable today. Of the two, Mustard’s Last Stand at 1719 Broadway is slated for the wrecking ball. Even if the restaurant reopens in another location, the

On April 20, the Supreme Court announced that it will hear argument next term in *St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy*, in which a Catholic preschool is challenging its exclusion from Colorado’s “universal preschool” program by arguing that Colorado must allow it to deny admission to LGBTQ children and children with LGBTQ parents because the state offers other types of exemptions from the program’s non-discrimination rules. Nevertheless, the justices did not agree to answer every question raised in the Catholic school’s petition for review. In particular, they declined to revisit – and potentially

The latest round of US birth data, released earlier this month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, show the general fertility rate has dropped to a new record low of 53.1 per 1,000 females between 15 and 44 — a 23 percent decrease since the most recent peak in 2007.

A new study argues that the notorious anti-development figure known as the NIMBY, for Not In My Backyard, has an equally toxic cousin in the transportation realm: the NOMS, or Not On My Street. And the researcher who coined the new term warns that U.S. communities will struggle to achieve lasting change until they reckon with the outsized influence of NOMS and their disturbing car-first ideology. In a recent analysis of hundreds of public comments given at community meetings in Washington, D.C. across four years, researcher Ashton Rohmer found several troubling trends in the rhetoric of reside

After a year and a half of disruption along Colfax Avenue between the Capitol building and Colorado Boulevard, there’s light at the end of the traffic cones. City officials told Denverite that Colfax between Broadway and Colorado Boulevard is on schedule to fully reopen by the end of the year. For the first time since late 2024, this portion of Colfax will be free of work crews and construction fences. The remade section of the storied, gritty “stroad” will be noticeably different. Instead of two lanes going both directions, Colfax will instead be bisected by two bus-only lanes in the middle.

*This story was produced as part of the Colorado Capitol News Alliance.

One measure, House Bill 1114, would have banned many local governments from requiring lot sizes that exceed 2,000 square feet, while the other, House Bill 1308, would have allowed developers to split lots in order to build two single-family homes on land initially zoned for one.

In 2021, the South Carolina NAACP tried to solve a time-sensitive problem: identifying tenants facing eviction before it was too late to help them. The filings were public record, posted on the state’s own court website. But with thousands of cases filed each year — far beyond what a small team could realistically review in real time — the organization built a simple program to collect them automatically. The state blocked it. The NAACP sued, arguing that restricting access to public records violated its rights. A federal judge indicated the policy likely raised First Amendment concerns, and t
