DENVER (KDVR) — The Denver City Council is telling Mayor Mike Johnston to spend more money on rental assistance programs to prevent evictions, something several groups say leads to more people becoming unhoused.The council suggested the mayor approve adding $17 million more than the $12 million in his proposed budget for that purpose."We do have a crisis on our hands, and we need to find a way to meet the actual need that is out there and that it should be one of the top priorities in the mayor's budget this year," said Sarah Parady, at-large council member.One member of the council, Darrell Watson of District 9, said it is a noble idea, but cuts would have to be made in other city departments to make it happen.

Poulson: Is Congress rediscovering Reaganomics?

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:19:54 GMT

The House of Representatives recently completed hearings on “Examining Proposed Constitutional Amendments.” The hearings focused on two proposed Constitutional amendments — term limits and a balanced-budget amendment. The hearings also explored the question of amending the Constitution under Article V.Legislators have rediscovered Reaganomics. As president, Ronald Reagan supported term limits and a balanced-budget amendment and enacting these amendments through an Article V convention. However, before we break out the champagne, we must put this question in a historical perspective.The Founding Fathers anticipated it would be difficult for Congress to impose limits on its power of the purse. They incorporated Article V in the Constitution to give citizens and the states, and Congress, the power to propose amendments.Legislators have been proposing a balanced-budget amendment for almost a century. The high-water mark in this effort was in 1995 when a resolution calling for it fell on...

Editorial: Congress should do right thing on Afghan refugees

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:19:54 GMT

America’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan is one of many blights on the Biden administration’s spotty record. The fact that this nation since then has turned its back on Afghans who helped U.S. troops only makes the matter worse.But there is a remedy for this injustice.Since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan more than two years ago, the United States has welcomed more than 80,000 refugees from the country.But the humanitarian program that allowed them to come here provides only temporary protection and no road to permanent residency. In addition, thousands of Afghans who aided the American war effort remain at risk in their home country, unable to cut through the red tape and flee to the United States. They and their families are targets for retribution from the brutal Taliban.“Helping these Afghans would signify to other allies that the U.S. doesn’t abandon its friends,” Sierra Dawn McClain wrote in the Wall Street Journal recently. “More important, it would help settle...

Lowry: Trump wages ’24 campaign from court

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:19:54 GMT

Donald Trump is getting indicted and tried all the way into a third Republican presidential nomination, and perhaps a second term in office.Trump’s court dates and legal entanglements aren’t a distraction from his campaign, as some observers predicted; in large part, they are the campaign.We’re all familiar with the so-called front-porch campaigns of the late-19th century, most famously the Republican William McKinley who would have delegations of supporters visit him at his home in Canton, Ohio. Joe Biden built on the concept with his lockdown-compliant basement campaign during the 2020 campaign (at least McKinley interacted with real people).Now, Trump has come up with another variant of this concept — the courtroom campaign.It involves massive media attention before, during and after court appearances; images and statements of bold, unadorned defiance; and inflamed Republican emotions from the sense that he is being treated unfairly.This is the potent poli...
