KEYWORD SCORE: 48.75. boulder, colorado, development, housing, students, transportation
When Jacob Giron graduated high school, he was shocked by the price of student housing and tuition at the University of Colorado Boulder. Giron, like many prospective students in Boulder and East County, initially desired to attend CU Boulder. But CU and other public universities in Colorado enforce on campus housing during a student’s freshman year. So when Giron saw the tuition and housing costs that the University would require, he instead opted to attend Front Range Community College. The price for residence housing at Boulder ranges from $8,000-$10,000 per semester on top of tuition. “I r

An address by Frederick Douglass on July 5, 1852, challenged the hypocrisy of the nation’s espoused principles of liberty and self-governance. The date of Martyrs Day was chosen to correspond with that of Douglass' speech. The designation “martyrs day” has been used around the globe to describe a day that commemorates those who have sacrificed their lives for their nation, their faith, or a noble cause or principle. For example, in the U.S., on Memorial Day, we pay tribute to U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Dating back to the Civil War, origina

Scholar Robert Dahl, writing back in 1957, once remarked that “Americans are not quite willing to accept the fact that [the Supreme Court] is a political institution and not quite capable of denying it; so that frequently we take both positions at once.” Generally, the justices have refrained from explicitly commenting on politics. That custom, however, is more a matter of practice and institutional norms than a hard-and-fast rule, and over more than two centuries, justices have at times set it aside while sitting on the bench. As the current court continues to generate criticism from both sid

For decades, conservative economists, including Eric Fruits, have been claiming that raising taxes (or failing to cut them) will doom Oregon’s economy. Back in 2010, when Oregon was caught in the downdraft following the Global Financial Crisis. The situation then had strong parallels to today–Oregon lagged well behind the nation in job growth (bottom 5-8 states in 2009) and had the sixth highest unemployment rate (11.1 percent). The state budget was in crisis, and legislators proposed two ballot measures (Measures 66 and 67) to raise income taxes on the highest income households, and to increa
