Headlines Wednesday, June 24, 2026 Boulder petitions state Supreme Court in bodycam ruling The city of Boulder is petitioning the Colorado Supreme Court to review an April Court of Appeals ruling that the city cannot charge fees for police body camera footage.

Fear Sells, Complexity Doesn’t: Lakewood’s wealthy minority overrides the democratic process to kill housing reforms
YIMBY Law
KEYWORD SCORE: 42.97. colorado, election, housing, housing policy, infrastructure, public meeting, single-family, special election, sustainability, turnout, yimby, zoning, zoning code
Lakewood, Colorado was doing everything right, but it still wasn’t enough for local NIMBYs. The town residents overwhelmingly supported pro-housing candidates for the council, councilmembers who drafted zoning ordinances to bring the town into compliance with Colorado law. Their modest reforms would have helped boost local housing production and kept them eligible for state infrastructure grants. But despite dedicated work from local organizers, voters in April repealed the reforms in a remarkably low-turnout election. Through four separate initiatives, they unwound a series of crucial zoning

In the month and a half since the Supreme Court decided *Louisiana v. Callais*, the actual and potential scope of that case’s destructive impact on the Reconstruction Amendments and on congressional power has only become clearer. As a reminder, in *Callais*, the Supreme Court effectively overruled Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibited voting practices with racially discriminatory *effects*, even in the absence of discriminatory intent. More specifically, *Callais* held that Congress lacks the power to outlaw voting practices resulting in discriminatory effects except where the c

When Congress “overrides” the court
SCOTUS Blog
KEYWORD SCORE: 28.11. black, civil rights, civil rights act, employment, lawsuit, voting rights
The Supreme Court’s April 29 ruling curtailing a key provision of the Voting Rights Act cleared the way for last-minute redistricting pushes in states such as Louisiana and Tennessee. As a result, it fueled new, more urgent calls for Congress to take action to ban mid-decade map drawing and partisan gerrymandering and to bring an end to the battle over redistricting. These pleas for congressional action serve as a reminder that the Supreme Court doesn’t necessarily have the final say on an issue. Congress can avoid the potential consequences or limit the impact of an unpopular ruling by updati

*By Chase Bierenkoven* This week, the Regional Transportation District (RTD) voted to reinstate a long-running staple of Denver’s football weekends by bringing back BroncosRide. The motion passed with a 9-5 vote. BroncosRide was a staple for decades, running buses from Park-n-Ride lots to Broncos games and other events like Rockies games. But it was suspended before the Broncos’ 2020-21 season, back when the team was in the doldrums of its post-Manning rut. RTD board members voted this week to reinstate the service, with some calling it a “win-win” that would increase transit options and win s

Aurora homeless shelter guests say they’re paid below minimum wage for janitorial work

Homeless guests at Aurora’s new incentive-based shelter say they are being paid $6.25 an hour, below minimum wage, in a training program where they pick up garbage, mop shelter floors and make beds. “It shouldn’t be a jail,” said former resident Titania Anastasia, who wants to see the shelter investigated for its pay practices. The CEO of the nonprofit running the shelter is defending the arrangement — saying the payment is not a wage but rather a perk of participating in voluntary education. No one is forced to do janitorial work, though it is one way to earn better accommodations at the shel
