local options for municipalities to choose from,” he said. “ is sets goals and gives choices on how to meet those goals. It’s easy. If (municipalities) don’t then the state will step in. ere is a bit more choice than other states.” e sheri ’s o ce responded to the home after a report from Whitworth’s sister. e a davit says the sister described a disturbance at the home and said Whitworth had made threats to shoot up a school on March 31 and March 29. e a davit says Whitworth showed sheri ’s personnel the manifesto with a list of rearms and how to 3D-print them, a list of “numerous named individuals to be killed” and information about building improvised explosive devices.

In its early stages, Moreno said lawmakers have agreed not to immediately take votes on the proposed legislation, instead opting on April 6 to listening to debate, concerns and ideas.

Moreno said he has heard complaints that the bill does not address a ordability enough. e Adams County senator said amendments are likely as the bill moves through the process.

Moreno said the bill does address a ordability in the area of availability. Moreno said it increases stock, which means added supply will drive down home prices.

Whitworth described attending Timberview Middle School as recently as seventh grade with only home schooling afterward, the a davit says.

In addition to the attempted murder charges, Whitworth has been charged with criminal mischief, menacing and interference with educational institutions. Whitworth was jailed on $75,000 bond with a preliminary hearing set for May 5 in Elbert County District Court.

As amendments for better language, and clarifying information on water and infeasibility are already on the table, Rep. Mark Baisley, a District 4 Republican, which covers parts of Douglas County, Fremont County and Je erson County said he is “pleasantly surprised” that both Democrats and Republicans have expressed opposition to the bill’s current language.

Even with possible amendments coming to the bill, Baisley said it still wouldn’t work because the entire bill lacks “humility” and the only way to x it is to redo it completely.

No matter what concessions are made in areas of a ordability and language, Baisley said at the core of the bill is taking away home rule, which likely will not be eliminated.

Woodrow said it is sweeping legislation and can take time, noting that success will be gauged in 10 or 12 months. Instead, he said this bill addresses current needs while allowing Colorado to grow in a more strategic way.
