The City of Wheat Ridge has received a $4,000 grant from the Colorado Tree Coalition (CTC) and the Colorado State Forest Service for the Wheat Ridge Main Street Additional Tree Planting and Ash Tree Replacement project.

According to a City press release, Wheat Ridge’s Forestry team, a part of the Parks and Recreation Department, will use this funding and matching city funds to plant additional trees and replace failing trees along West 38th Avenue between Sheridan Boulevard and Harlan Street.

A volunteer planting event to help with the West 38th Avenue tree planting is scheduled for Saturday, May 14, 2022, from 8 a.m.-noon. For the signup form, check the online version of this article at jeffcotranscript.com.

Volunteers will meet in the parking lot at 5300 W. 38th Ave (next to Metro Frame Works). Coffee and pizza will be provided.

Organizers encourage you to bring close-toed shoes (preferably boots), work/gardening gloves, a full water bottle and sun protection (hat, sunscreen, etc). Safety vests, shovels, and other planting supplies will be provided.

The 25 or more new trees being planted along West 38th Avenue will be appropriate for the Wheat Ridge climate, soil, and streetscape environment, and were selected in part through recommendations from a community poll in the fall of 2021. Additionally with this funding support, the City’s Forestry team will plant up to 16 fruit trees in a new orchard area in Happiness Community Gardens.

Ongoing opposition to a plan that would drastically increase water storage in Bear Creek Lake, resulting in what some are calling the “inundation” of vast swaths of the surrounding park, just received a big boost from the City of Lakewood.

Katie Gill has been spearheading the fight against the plan currently being studied by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB).

Gill said in an email that she had confirmed Lakewood City Council’s intention to read an official proclamation into the record of their April 25 meeting.

Meet Lakewood Animal Control Agent Lee Crookston The unsung members of law enforcement who protect some of our favorite family members

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It seems there’s a day or a week to celebrate almost everything.

Case in point — Aug. 20 is the everperplexing World Mosquito Day. You may not have known, but Nov. 5 will be National Vinegar Day. And who could forget about Feb. 19, or as you may know it better — International Tug of War Day. But sometimes there’s a recognition that seems especially worthy of our time — a day or week to to honor people who perform tough, often thankless, but truly necessary jobs. And if that job is saving animals, well, all the better.

This month, April 14 marked the beginning of National Animal Control Week. That being the case, an interview with Lakewood Police Department Animal Control Agent Lee Crookston was in order.

An animal lover who grew up wanting to be a veterinarian, Crookston, who’s been with Lakewood for 16 years, said she first gained experience as an animal control agent on the western slope years before moving to the metro area. She jumped at the chance to get back into it when the opportunity came along because she thought the first time around, it had been

one of the best jobs she’d ever had.

The hours are long — 10-hour shifts, most of which is out on the streets responding to all types of calls, helping all types of animals.

Crookston said the majority of calls revolve around dogs, but she responds to plenty of calls for horses, cats and wild animals.

“We respond to barking dog complaints, loose dogs, injured animals — both wildlife and domestic,” she said. “We respond to dogs left in cars

when it’s hot, dogs not being cared for properly — any animal being abused. We respond to livestockrelated calls, so we have a large variety of things that we do.”

When there’s downtime, you might find animal control agents doing public relations work, representing the department at city events and educating the public on all matters related to staying within the law with your pet. That education is a vital part of the services animal control agents provide.

Crookston said recently, she’s noticed an uptick in animal cruelty calls, possibly due to the higher number of new pet owners adopting dogs during the pandemic — a time when other stresses like employment, loss of income and health concerns were prevalent. She said the increased amount of time folks spent around their neighborhoods, noticing things that they thought seemed suspicious, also added to call volume during COVID. But an increase in cruelty calls hasn’t dampened her enthusiasm for the job.

“For me, one of the most rewarding things about the job is getting peoples’ dogs back home to them — safe and sound, when they get out,” she said. “And rescuing animals from precarious situations they get themselves into.”

Crookston said she’s sure that animals can sense it when you’re trying to help them.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some carry a snappy snare.

“I’ve only been bitten a couple of times while trying to help animals,”

Crookston said with a chuckle. “One required stitches, but the other one was minor. But both times it was a situation where a dog was injured or frantic.”

As she relays the story of one of the bites — which occurred once she’d captured the dog in question with a device called a snappy snare — with pure empathy for the animal and the family who’d been searching for him.

She said keeping her composure and steeling her nerves when she comes up against an angry or volatile dog comes with the territory, and years of experience learning to understand different situations and behaviors she’s likely to encounter.

Plus, she’s a strong believer in the old adage that dogs can sense fear.

“I think a truly aggressive dog will use that (fear) against you,” she said.

Nice to never meet you When it comes to helpful tips that will hopefully keep you from ever needing her services, Crookston said things like keeping your animal contained and making sure it has water available will help keep neighbors from feeling the need to call.

Being aware of incessant barking is also high on her list.

But ultimately, she thinks really knowing your pet, its breed and its traits, will help pet owners understand behaviors like digging or jumping fences, they need to be mindful of. And those simple things can make the difference between a dog remaining safe and sound with its owner or ending up on the wrong end of a rescue call Animal Control.

Acclaimed Italian soprano to perform in Lakewood Metro suburb joins the likes of Paris and Madrid in hosting opera event STAFF REPORT

Following her 2022 tour performances in Paris, Hamburg, Madrid, Detroit and Boston, Sanremo, Italy’s soprano Angela Papale will be performing in Lakewood.

The performance, sponsored by the nonprofit Dante Alighieri Societies of Denver and Pueblo will take place at 3 p.m., May 15, 2022 at Green Mountain United Methodist Church.

According to a news release from the sponsor, Papale will perform some of the most poignant arias from operas by Verdi, Puccini, Donizetti and other Italian composers.

Papale, a recipient of numerous international awards, has taken

the lead role in several operas.

After completing her music studies at her town Conservatory, she advanced her vocal training, studing under Italian singers Magda Olivero, Paolo Montarsolo and Fiorenza Cossotto.

Papale has won prizes at numerous international competitions including Cascina Lirica, San Remo Classica and Città di Roma.

Her accompanist, Pianist Fabio Marra, is the artistic director of the international Workshop for

opera singers in Dobbiaco, Italy.

According to its website, The Dante Alighieri Society was founded in Rome, Italy in 1889 to perpetuate the accomplishments of Italian poet, writer and philosopher Dante Alighieri, his sense of Italian style and impact of his writing.

Alighieri, best known by his first name, was born in Florence, Italy in 1265. His most famous works, the Divine Comedy — The Inferno, The Purgatorio and The Paradiso are considered poetic masterpieces.

Music and comedy collide with The Small Glories Heartwarming folk band to play at Lakewood Cultural Center STAFF REPORT

Lakewood Cultural Center (LCC) will close out its 2021 - 22 LCC Presents season May 19 with folk band The Small Glories.

Hailing from Winnipeg, Canada, the duo showcases Cara Luft and JD Edwards whose sound interweaves tight vocal harmonies with stomping claw-hammer banjo, guitar and harmonica.

Luft and Edwards’ witty banter, a blend of slapstick and sermon draws audiences in to make them feel as if they are sitting on stage beside them.

Stephen Thompson, co-creator of NPR’s TinyDesk Concerts, is clearly a fan.

“Luft is a Wailin’ Jennys alum whose work on the clawhammer banjo is to die for,” Thompson said.

“While Edwards’ guitar and vocal harmonies deepen and enrich the duo’s sound.”

The duo will be performing live for one of the first times in two years, due to pandemic disruptions and restrictions.

“There’s so much animosity and divisiveness in our world these days,” Luft said. “As artists, part of our job is to somehow create unity.”

Tickets start at $22 and are available by calling 303-987-7845 or visiting Lakewood.org/LCCPresents.

Tickets can also be purchased at the Lakewood Cultural Center Box Office, 470 S. Allison Parkway.

‘Community Solar’ Makes Solar Power Available to Condo Owners and Apartment Dwellers

Driving around the metro area and elsewhere, you have probably noticed huge installations of solar panels on open land and wondered who built and who benefits from them.

Bigger installations, such as in the Mojave Desert, are utility-scale installations owned by electric utilities to replace fossil-fueled generators. Smaller installations, such as the one north of 64th Avenue on Highway 93, are owned by community solar companies or nonprofits.

The concept of community solar is to rent or sell portions of such installations to individual utility customers. The kilowatt-hours generated by those solar panels are then credited to the usage on subscribers’ electric meters.

It’s a perfect solution for customers like Rita and me, who sold their home and are now living in an apartment or condo building where they can’t install their own solar panels. The really neat Jim Smith’s popular political column, “Talking Turkey,” appears on page 2 of this Thursday’s YourHub section of the Denver Post. If you don’t subscribe to the Post, you can read his column (and previous ones) at www.TalkingTurkey.online.

thing about community solar is that when you move, your solar generation is merely reassigned to your new electric meter — no need to buy new panels.

Small businesses can also take advantage of community solar. Golden Real Estate, for example, moved last November from its solar-power office on South Golden Road into a storefront on Washington Avenue in downtown Golden.

Community solar is the only way that we can continue to be solar-powered even though we can’t install solar panels.

Denver-based SunShare describes itself as the nation’s oldest community solar company with over 10 years’ experience building and maintaining “solar gardens” across the state. Their website says that they have built 116MW of solar panels and have 14,000 subscribers and three utility partners. Learn more at their website, www.MySunShare.com.

Community solar was legalized in Colorado in 2010 with the passage of the Community Solar Gardens Act (HB 1342). The following year, SunShare opened for business, and, in 2015, the Colorado Energy Office partnered with GRID Alternatives to construct a com-

www.MySunShare.com

munity solar demonstration project to serve low-income Coloradans.

Colorado Springs Utilities was the first utility to create its own solar garden for 278 subscribers in 2011. That 0.5MW installation has since grown to a 2MW installation serving 435 customers.

Community solar can be a good deal for rural landowners, providing a predictable revenue stream for otherwise non-producing acreage.

Renting or buying photovoltaic panels in a solar garden costs money, so you’re still paying for electricity, but the rule of thumb is that what you spend on community solar electricity is about 10% cheaper than buying the same amount of electricity from the utility.

Some of us don’t worry about the size

of the savings but simply “go solar” because it’s the right thing to do.

To learn more, in addition to visiting SunShare’s website, I suggest Googling “community solar Colorado.” You’ll find other companies offering community solar, learn the history of it in Colorado and decide if it’s right for you.

You may find that existing solar gardens are sold out and that you’ll have to get on a waiting list for a future solar garden.

Whether you are putting solar panels on your own property or subscribing to a solar garden, consider upsizing your investment instead of basing it on your current usage, since the chances are that you’ll be buying an electric vehicle and you’ll want electricity from the sun to power it, too.

Lawmakers to address root causes of homelessness Final month of session to start

BY ALISON BERG ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Colorado leaders have introduced a series of bills in the state legislature to house unsheltered residents and help them transition from living on the streets to holding stable jobs and receiving mental health care.

“As we work to alleviate the economic impacts of the pandemic, addressing homelessness is about more than just creating more housing,” Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat, said in an April 18 news conference. “It’s meeting folks where they’re at and it’s connecting folks to the services they need and to the care and housing that they need.”

Each bill addresses a different facet of the issue, but aims to tackle some of the main causes of homelessness: lack of affordable housing, mental health issues, poverty and systemic barriers.

“It’s clear that the pandemic and social instability have taken a toll in our communities, and the number of people experiencing homelessness has risen as a result,” said Rep. Iman Jodeh, an Arapahoe County Democrat. “We won’t fully address this crisis unless we address the root cause of homelessness.”

Jodeh is sponsoring a bill that would direct $50 million of federal

While the details are still being worked out and construction of the campus could be years away, Jodeh said bill supporters envision a series of buildings providing mental health and substance abuse support, medical and dental care, transitional and permanent housing, job skills and emergency shelter.

Jodeh said the Denver area lacks transitional and supportive housing, which is often the first step into getting unsheltered residents into permanent housing. Because of this, Jodeh wanted to ensure legislation prioritized such housing for the state’s largest counties.

Another bill — sponsored by Gonzales — would pour $105 million to a number of options for homelessness support, including transitional and permanent housing for those who need it.

The bills come at a time when Denver-area housing prices are reaching all-time highs. Gonzales said she lives in affordable hous-

ing, which has given her access to serve as a state senator and lead a successful life.

“It’s the only reason I’m able to stand before you as a state senator today, because access to affordable and safe and secure housing changed my life,” Gonzales said.

“This pandemic hit our communities hard, particularly working class Coloradans and communities of color.”

While unsheltered residents have always struggled in Colorado, Jodeh said Denver’s homeless shelters saw a 99% increase in need due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and those who were unhoused prior to the pandemic saw a 90% increase in drug overdose rates.

“The bills we’re working on this session will look at every angle of this crisis,” Jodeh said.

Governor Jared Polis said while the state is happily supporting the issue, he believes municipal leaders should be at the frontlines of the fight, as the issue is specific in different cities and municipalities have more power to legislate their unique needs than the state does.

“Homelessness is an issue that primarily lives at the municipal level, and because of the statewide importance, the state is taking an unprecedented step,” Polis said.

“State government does not have the authority or jurisdiction to implement local ordinances. We can be a supporter and an investor in local efforts, but at the end of the day, it will take a force of local efforts to meet this issue on the ground.”

County clerks reassure voters while watching for cyber attacks Officials push back against fraud claims, stay alert

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While local counties’ clerks and recorders say they are still taking steps to unravel false claims of widespread election fraud two years after the 2020 presidential election and ahead of the June primaries, they are also on the lookout for potential cyberattacks after warnings from President Joe Biden that such attacks are increasingly likely.

“It’s definitely nerve-wracking, but something that we are starting to get used to,” Adams County Clerk and Recorder Josh Zygielbaum said. “It’s the world we live in now, and we do everything we can to protect the system and to protect ourselves and our workers and our voters.”

The cybersecurity threat level is similar to past elections, or the worst-case scenarios election offices have prepared for, metro area clerks said.

“There is no question right now, every agency is indicating that the risk of Russian initiated cyber security threats has increased,” Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder George Stern said.

But Stern said “long before we had internal threats to our elections,” cybersecurity and the security of election from foreign interference “has been top of mind,” Stern said. Regular probes from countries including Russia, Iran, North Korea and others are directed toward state and local election offices, looking for vulnerability in the system. , Clerks said their offices partner -with homeland security, the FBI, and state and local departments dto monitor cyberthreats.

“If something viable looks as if it’s surfacing, we are notified about it and we can respond,” Zygielbaum said. “We employ the most modern protection from a technology standpoint that there is out there.”

Staff go through cybersecurity training “every single election” regardless of how many times they have received it, Stern said.

That helps staff recognize what attacks might look like. All equipment requires two-factor verification, and there is a paper trail for each ballot.

“That can prove accurate results, and a successful election,” Stern said.

Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz declined to speak for this story. Klotz is one of several public officials who sued the secretary of state because of a software update the state conducted on county election equipment. The suit seeks to see if the update deleted any data, a claim the secretary of rstate’s office refuted in a motion to dismiss the suit.

tionships with voters who doubt election security, they emphatically believe those individuals are a small minority of the electorate.

“We still receive plenty of emails from people who believe the Big Lie,” Zygielbaum said.

Clerks said they receive form letters, copied-and-pasted arguments from people who appear to be local residents but also people outside their county borders.

“Just perpetuating the false narratives that the elections were fraudulent,” Zygielbaum said.

The letters come in waves. A spate of several in one day, followed by a lull.

“It’s important for our staff, for election judges, and for voters,” Stern said, “to understand that we are discussing conspiracy theories here and that the vast, vast majority of people in Colorado understand our elections are secure.”

Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez emphasized the election system is not connected to the internet, and that she believes voters trust their local elections system.

“We have gone above and beyond to make sure that they are informed,” Lopez said.

Lopez estimated that people who doubt election security account for about 1% of Colorado’s population. That doesn’t mean offices have eased efforts to boost faith in U.S. elections.

Colorado will have hundreds more air pollution sources to permit How the state is gearing up

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The EPA downgrade of Northern Front Range ozone pollution to “severe” from “serious” on April 12 will require hundreds of Colorado companies to get emission permits from a critically backlogged state system, but

health officials say their request for a steep budget increase from lawmakers will clear the jam and improve the air.

State health officials April 12 said they welcomed the EPA’s announcement knocking the Denver metro area and other major U.S. cities into a tougher enforcement category for ozone, saying the long-anticipated move would “help build upon Colorado’s strategies to protect and improve the air we breathe.”

The move means state permits

will be required for 473 more sources of pollution that contribute to ozone, as the threshold drops from 50 tons of covered pollutants a year to include all those sources emitting 25 tons or more, Air Pollution Control Director Michael Ogletree said. That will nearly triple the “major source” locations that need to be permitted, to a total of 730, state officials said.

Previously, the environmental nonprofit WildEarth Guardians had said many of the sites now required to get permits would include the oil and gas industry, at drilling and collection locations.

That new work will run headlong into a state health permitting system already assailed by courts and environmental groups as years behind, potentially endangering the health of more Coloradans living in highly polluted areas.

One set of permits at a key polluter, the Suncor Energy refinery in Commerce City, expired in 2012, and another in 2018, with a state court judge in January ordering Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment officials to finish renewing the permits “without delay.”

When the state did issue a revised permit that it said put important new restrictions on Suncor, the regional EPA office sent the proposed permit back for tougher revisions in March.

State officials said April 12 they have 52 major source polluters backlogged for review of new permits or renewals. They say that is a significant reduction from the

permit engineers, experts who will model expected pollution, and experts to monitor existing pollution, according to Ryan and Ogletree. The boost in spending is aimed at clearing the backlog of overdue permit renewals and preparing for the onslaught of newly permitted sources, they said.

The boost will add more than 100 full-time positions to the understaffed division and will allow for expanded technology including aerial monitoring of pollution sites, Ogletree said.

“We right now have a permitting database from the 1990s, and we have a request for several million dollars to be able to upgrade that,” Ryan added.

A budget with whistleblowers in mind?

Lack of pollution modeling staff and permitting procedures too friendly to industrial polluters were among the criticisms leveled at the health department by internal whistleblowers in 2021. The whistleblowers, from the Air Pollution Control Division’s modeling staff, asked the EPA Office of Inspector General to investigate, and the EPA’s detailed objection to the Suncor permit indicated federal officials are listening closely.

Environmental groups that have been demanding stronger, faster action by state health officials say they are cautiously

optimistic about the bigger budget and change in emphasis by CDPHE leadership. They add that they are not about to let down their guard.

“Health professionals in our state see and treat the real health impacts of poor air quality everyday. They are unequivocal about the dire impacts that air pollution has on community health,” said Sabrina Pacha, director of the nonprofit Healthy Air & Water Colorado. Her group and others want the state to look at the cumulative effects of other area polluters when considering whether to approve each new permit.

“We also need an expansion of community-based monitoring so that we know what is in the air we are breathing, not just at polluting facilities but in our neighborhoods, too,” she said.

The 2022-23 budget proposal “is an important first-step investment” toward better air quality, said Jared Bynum, communities and justice advocate at Conservation Colorado.

Environmental advocates also point to some of the same state budget elements touted by air pollution officials, including millions of dollars in spending to replace high-polluting diesel school buses with clean electric models in coming years. Better buses for school children, “so quiet and clean,” are important for communities highly impacted by past pollution, Bynum said.

A state health department release on the EPA’s ozone announcement noted the other cities whose problems are now being

reclassified as severe: ChicagoNaperville; Dallas-Fort Worth; Houston-Galveston-Brazoria; Morongo Band of Mission Indians, in the Coachella Valley area east of Los Angeles; and New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island.

Colorado air experts have said the Denver metro area’s ongoing ozone problems arise from a few major contributors: industrial and auto emissions that have not been cut as quickly as necessary; hotter summers that increase pollution volatility; and ozone-contributing wildfire smoke blowing east from a sharply increasing number of superfires in states to the west and northwest.

Part of the Colorado shortfall on ozone comes from changing EPA standards. While metro area ozone levels are stubborn and creeping up, they are also hitting the increasingly rigorous recommendations of scientists and doctors. The 2008 EPA standard of an average 75 parts per billion fell to 70 parts per billion in a 2015 revision. Many Front Range pollution monitors frequently registered over 80 parts per billion in the heat of 2021, state records show.

Cutting ozone-causing pollutants often goes hand-in-hand with efforts to trim Colorado’s greenhouse gas emissions — mitigation policies can cut both forms of pollutants at the same time. Yet state moves to cut vehicle-based emissions, for example, are resisted by drivers and many businesses, and criticized by environmental groups as too slow.

An “Advanced Clean Trucks”

rule to require gradual replacement of fossil fuel engines with cleaner electric and hydrogen models has been delayed until 2023, though community and environmental advocates are now petitioning the Air Quality Control Commission to get it done sooner. In 2021, state air pollution officials proposed a set of commuting rules for large employers aimed at cutting miles driven but withdrew the proposal after sharp opposition from employers and trade groups.

While promoting changes in the new budget, state health officials say they also anticipate air quality improvements from a recent list of legislation and department rules that did pass.

They cite new limits on emissions from oil and gas operations, the continuing closures of coal-fired power plants that are the biggest polluters in the state, increasing electric vehicle sales, and new Colorado Department of Transportation rules on reducing emissions when planning major road projects.

“We have so much on our plate from past legislation,” Ryan said.

“We’re going really fast, and we will get it all done. It just takes time.”

The proposed expansion would increase water storage in the lake from approximately 2,000 acre-feet, to 22,000 acre-feet. Critics say that increase would reduce usable park land by around 615 acres. Estimates put forward by SBCLP say that current parking areas in the park would be more than 10 feet under water.

designated webpages to educate people about the life of a ballot and how local elections function. As “forensic audit” became a buzzword last year, Lopez said, the office tried to assuage people’s concerns by encouraging them to see the see the process firsthand.

“I’m telling you, once somebody goes through a tour, they really go ‘Wow, I can’t believe all you guys do,’” Lopez said.

When Stern encounters people who doubt election security, he says “I invite them in.”

“What I find is that they are convinced that something is wrong because they heard it from someone who said something about a report that had some data from somewhere,” Stern said.

During elections, the office offers “a tour of every single aspect of it while it’s happening,” Stern said.

“I personally lead them.

We invite anyone in who wants to see the process up close,” Stern said.

Zygielbaum stresses that election equipment watching is conducted by bipartisan teams. Audits are performed during elec-

tions to ensure accuracy.

They also host tours for anyone who wants one.

“We stick to the facts, and hopefully the truth will prevail,” Zygielbaum said.

Physical safety Domestic threats toward election staff’s safety, stoked by conspiracies about a stolen election, have simmered down, clerks said, and numerous election related bills were introduced during the 2022 Colorado legislative session.

“We have heard from cowardly people sitting behind their computer screens over the course of the last year who are threating election workers — Colorado residents with families and kids —

because of something they heard about election integrity and have no proof of,” Stern said. “It’s sick. It’s oftentimes illegal and we are always reporting it to law enforcement agencies, but it just needs to stop.”

Stern said his staff is as politically diverse as the bipartisan election judging teams who work during an election.

“They are Republicans, they are Democrats, they are unaffiliated members, and they are getting threats in equal numbers,” he said. “It is hard on morale. It is hard for us to get good applicants to want to be in this space.”

Stern said he could not confidently say if turnover in his office is attributable to threats, but that the majority of his office

is committed to the job despite sometimes facing an intimidating climate.

“The more they hear from cowards, the more they want to stick with this work so that we aren’t letting the cowards win,” he said.

“We hear the noise,” Stern said, adding he staunchly believes threatening people are a fringe minority in the state and are not representative of Colorado voters.

“Someone threatening your life resonates a lot more loudly than the five people who told you you’re doing a good job,” he said.

Lopez watched with relief as the Vote Without Fear Act was passed by the state legislature. In the November 2020 election, two men came to the ballot box at county offices, filming voters who came to drop off their ballot. One of them openly carried a firearm.

“He was very hostile any time somebody approached him and said what are you doing,” Lopez said of her staff’s attempts to speak with the men.

“Every voter that came in had to pass this gentleman,” she said.

With no laws prohibiting his conduct, staff’s hands were tied, Lopez said.

House Bill 22-1086, signed into law on March 30, now

prevents someone from openly carrying a firearm within any polling location or within 100 feet of a ballot drop box while an election is underway.

The Adams County Clerk and Recorder’s Office is undergoing construction to heighten security.

Until now people seeking services from elections staff had to go inside the election office. Now the county is installing window desks similar to what people might see at the DMV, Zygielbaum said.

Closer to Election Day, Zygielbaum will wear a bulletproof vest. His election staff also underwent active shooter training.

“That was a direct response to 2020,” he said.

Zygielbaum said he expects active shooter training to become an annual practice in collaboration with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office. He called the process eye-opening for his office. Most his employees have been in elections for most their career.

“This is something that is new to all of us. We used to be able to go to work and run elections under the assumption that we would all go home at the end of the day. And that’s changed,” he said. “Something that is supposed to be the foundation for our American institution is under attack.”

Polis opposes ban on flavored tobacco, nicotine products Bill would siphon $25 million in annual tax revenue

BY SHANNON NAJMABADI THE COLORADO SUN

Gov. Jared Polis says he doesn’t support a bipartisan bill that would ban the sale of flavored tobacco and nicotine products, including menthol cigarettes, because he prefers a local regulatory approach.

But some city and county leaders explicitly support the measure, now stalled in the legislature, and two organizations that represent local governments and fiercely defend their local-control powers, the Colorado Municipal League and Colorado Counties Inc., aren’t fighting it.

There’s another reason the Democratic governor may oppose House Bill 1064, which is aimed at reducing teen nicotine use: It would siphon as much as $25.2 million — of an expected $167.7 million — in annual tax revenue from the state’s fledgling preschool program, a signature Polis initiative.

The debate this year over House Bill 1064 highlights the outsize role the tobacco industry plays in the Colorado Capitol, where it successfully defeated efforts to increase tobacco taxes in 2016 and 2019.

Flavored tobacco projects continues to be debated by lawmakers.

In 2020, the Polis administration negotiated with tobacco giant Altria, the maker of Marlboro cigarettes, on a bill that placed a measure on the ballot to raise cigarette and tobacco taxes and enact a tax on nicotine products, including vape cartridges. The measure, Proposition EE, passed, raising

millions of dollars to fund free preschool slots and helping the governor accomplish a campaign promise.

This year, House Bill 1064, which is aimed at outlawing products that critics say market to children with fruity flavors and colorful packaging, is drawing similar tobacco industry interest.

The measure is one of the mostlobbied bills before the legislature this year, with more than 140 lobbyists and lobbying firms representing more than 85 clients supporting, opposing or monitoring the measure. That’s nearly one-quarter of the entire lobbying corps.

The companies lobbying on the bill are spending big money on their efforts to shape the measure.

Altria and another tobacco giant, Reynolds American, respectively spent $149,000 and $173,000 on lobbying from July 2021 through the end of March.

The national nonprofit Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids is leading the charge to support the bill, and has spent nearly $181,000 on lobbying through the end of March. It

Lawmakers pledge $100M for child care The money would go toward several existing grant programs

BY ANN SCHIMKE AND ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT

With just over a year until Colorado begins providing free preschool to 4-year-olds statewide, state lawmakers want to inject $100 million into efforts to beef up the early childhood workforce and create more slots for young children.

During a news conference Wednesday afternoon, a group of lawmakers announced the legislation, which would be funded with federal COVID relief dollars.

The money would go toward several existing grant programs, including one to help child care providers with operational costs and another to help new providers open and existing providers expand. It would also create a new program to support and train people who care for young children but

are not licensed by the state.

“This bill is a massive investment in ensuring we as a state rise to the occasion of helping families out, by allowing parents to work, by allowing single parents to return to the workforce,” said state Rep. Alex Valdez, a Denver Democrat who sponsored the bill. “COVID-19 gutted our child care workforce and we need to rebuild it.”

The just-introduced bill comes at both a tenuous and momentous time for Colorado’s early childhood industry. Many child care providers are still reeling financially from the pandemic and struggling to find employees willing to work long hours for low wages. At the same time, there’s a sense of excitement as Colorado plans a massive expansion of statefunded preschool with funding from proceeds of a nicotine tax approved by voters in 2020.

EPA downgrades Colorado’s ozone problem to ‘severe’

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The EPA has downgraded Colorado’s North Front Range ozone problem to “severe” from “serious,” a long-expected move that requires state and local officials to take stronger runs at cutting the healthdamaging pollution.

“The proposed reclassifications would require the State of Colorado to apply more stringent air quality measures to sources across the area,” an EPA release said, in announcing the proposed change after months of pressure from environmental advocates who said the deadlines to do so had already come and gone.

“Under the ‘severe’ reclassification, these requirements include the use of reformulated gasoline in summer months and a reduction of the threshold requiring control measures on emissions sources from 50 tons per year to 25 tons per year,” the EPA said.

In a previous interview that will be published on April 12, Colorado officials said the pending EPA downgrade will require hundreds of companies to get emission permits from a state system already critically backlogged. State health officials say their steep budget request is designed to clear the jam and improve the air.

It will mean state permits will be required for 473 more sources of pollution that contribute to ozone, as the threshold drops from 50 tons of covered pollutants a year to include all those emitting 25 tons or more, Air Pollution Control Director Michael Ogletree said. That new work will run headlong into a state health permitting system already assailed by courts and environmental groups as years behind, potentially endangering the health of more Coloradans living in highly polluted areas.

One set of permits at a key polluter, the Suncor Energy refinery in Commerce City, expired in 2012, and another in 2018, with a state court judge in January ordering Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment officials to finish renewing the permits “without delay.”

When the state did issue a revised permit that it said put important new restrictions on Suncor, the regional EPA office sent the proposed permit back for tougher revisions in March.

VOICES Don’t be bait for the bad guys

ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

I

regularly catch two to three per hour and sometimes I can net dozens in a single day. Not to mention the occasional overnight haul. And such a variety! “We’ve been trying to reach you ... you are entitled to compensation!” Or “Click here to check the status of your command.” And “Claim your complimentary chips to play at Lucky Casino!” Plus, what catch would be complete without the ubiquitous offers of coupons, discounts and even more free stuff?

I’m referring, of course, to phish, phishing emails to be exact. Phishing is the fraudulent practice by cybercriminals of using emails to induce people like you and me to willingly — and usually unwittingly — provide our personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.

These emails often appear to come from reputable organizations. I get a spam net full of emails from recognizable “sources” such as Amazon, Kohl’s, Walgreens, GEICO and CVS ... some of which I actually do patronize. By the way, the “command” referenced above means my “order” from Amazon.

I’m often threatened by the “IRS,” by any number of virus detection companies, “PayPal,”... on and on and on.

“Someone has run a background check on you!” or “Negative items have been

added to your credit report!”

To combat truly awful consequences, I must “Take action NOW or [fill in the blank with disaster]!” Some emails are elaborately engineered, mirroring organizations’ actual graphics (known as spoofing) to reel in even more than my personal info ... I must send money orders or Bitcoin to retain my protection, avoid arrest or – gasp! – risk exposure for my supposed online viewing behavior.

Fortunately, both my Gmail and Outlook email accounts cast wide nets, snaring most of these nefarious messages in spam filters, which I then promptly report. But here’s the thing about phishing emails: our spam-catchers are overwhelmed.

Researchers estimate that of the 15 billion emails sent to our unsuspecting inboxes daily, more than 45 percent (and perhaps up to 75 percent) of this global content is spam. That’s a pretty big kettle.

So I’d like to be your guide to spotting – and catching – phishing emails before something rotten happens. First, always check domain names ... that is, where the email is being sent and where it’s coming from.

For example, I received a phishing email to “dzdvffsd52az0@gmail.com.”

Hmmm. And the sender? “Skinny199811@

googlemail.com.” Surprisingly, I don’t know Skinny 199811 (and googlemail.com is not a legitimate domain).

Grammar and spelling errors are rampant, as is unusual language — that “command” instead of “order,” for instance. And one of the most recognizable hooks is urgency: Act NOW or something really really bad is going to happen to you, even if it’s missing out on one of the best offers you’ve ever received in your whole entire life.

Don’t bite! If you’re concerned, or maybe just curious, input the URL of the organization by hand to check if something is truly amiss.

I also still receive the “foreign prince” emails from kind-hearted souls around the globe who desire to leave their substantial inherited wealth only to me ... if I provide my bank account for the deposit.

But today’s sharks are much more sophisticated. With one in every 99 emails likely to be a phishing attack, without a strong line of defense, we’re all often little more than bait.

Andrea Doray is a writer who wants to remind us that the businesses and organizations being spoofed are also victims here. Contact Andrea at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

Change the action and change the outcome WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

J

ust like many of you, sometimes I get so overloaded with work that I fall behind a little and need to play catch up. This happened to me earlier this week. With a big writing project due, as well as several other initiatives, I was starting to feel a little stressed out. And as I thought about all the writing I had to do, it was overwhelming and probably the last thing that I wanted to begin doing.

Although I didn’t feel like doing it in that moment, I grabbed my second cup of coffee and headed to my desk surrounded by research material and started writing. Did I feel like writing at first? No, I didn’t. But once I took the action to get started, my attitude improved, so my thinking improved, and within two days I completed the project.

In last week’s column I shared how changing our thoughts could change our outcomes. Staying with that same theme, I wanted to share how changing our actions will also change our outcomes. There are always times where we don’t feel like doing something, especially something hard, or taking on a task that sucks the energy from us.

When that happens it’s easy to give in

and walk away. But if we start doing the work or the task, we usually wind up working ourselves into a better mood.

There has always been a healthy debate about this topic. Does attitude drive the behavior, or does the behavior drive the attitude? There are people who believe that applying a positive mindset can help them overcome the barriers and they can start doing the work. They change their action by first changing their attitude. This works well for those people who have this capability, but it doesn’t work for everyone.

There are others who believe that by jumping in and starting the work regardless of how they feel, they will tell you that after taking step one and starting, steps two, three, four and more propel them into doing the task with a much better attitude. These are also the people who will usually look for the hardest or biggest project or task that needs to get done and do that one first.

If there is a difficult or challenging conversation that needs to take place, it’s going to be their first call.

For those of us who work out there are those mornings or days where we just don’t feel like it. Some give in and

crawl back under the covers. And some know that all they must do is get up, get to the gym, begin a run, or jump on a bike and within just a few minutes of acting, they are happy and motivated as they work towards their health goals.

When it comes to prospecting most salespeople will own up to the fact that they dislike cold calling or making phone calls to find their prospects. It’s really their least favorite thing to do.

But again, once they take that first step, take the action of making that first call, they will generally get fired up as they set appointments and make some sales.

They change their attitude by changing the action, and by doing both they create a solid sales funnel and enjoy the commissions that they earn.

It doesn’t have to be an “either or” situation. I prefer the word “And” over “Or” any day. When I can combine a healthy positive attitude while also taking the actions necessary to achieve my goals, I find that approach always works better for me personally.

What do you think, do you rely on your state of mind to determine the actions you will take? Do you trust in

Diaz contributed to bringing the production to life and the theater made some bold storytelling choices, like staging it in the round. And the hope is audiences Clarke Reader – the final but most important ingredient of powerful storytelling – will be moved by the story.

“It’s quite an honor to share this work for the first time with the Colorado community, especially because when you go see a brand-new play, you get to be part of shaping its future,” Montour-Larson said. “I hope it stirs people’s emotions and leaves them thinking a few days later. I think we’ve all developed a kind of community hunger for that energy when a group of people are all in a room together.”

f we’ve learned anything from the last two years, it’s that all of us, at one point or another, will get sick. It’s not an enjoyable truth to ruminate on, but one that was repeatedly proven in the midst of a global pandemic.

And while playwright Noah Diaz wrote “You Will Get Sick” before COVID-19, the show’s themes have rarely been as pertinent as they are in modern times.

“There’s just something about the humanity of the play,” said Christy Montour-Larson, resident guest director at Lakewood’s Benchmark Theatre. “The show has a great sense of humor and also asks the right questions about your rights when you get sick, how you get through difficult times and how social/economic status makes things difficult.”

The world premiere workshop production of “You Will Get Sick” runs at The Bench at 40West, 1560 Teller St. in Lakewood, through Saturday, May 14. Performances are at 8 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. The cast features Peter Trinh, Edith Weiss, Sonsharae Tull, Brian Kusic and Josue Miranda.

A part of Benchmark’s “Aftermath”-themed 2021/2022 season, the show is told in the second person and explores how someone learns to live with a body that is consumed by sickness. As MontourLarson explains, the show follows a man who receives a heartbreaking diagnosis but can’t bring himself to admit it out loud. Instead, he hires a woman to tell the people in his life that he’s sick.

“The play is funny at times, heartwarming at other times and very thought-provoking,” she said.

“It’s always exciting to work on new plays, because playwrights are the backbone of the American theater

LIFE

Despite fussy reputation, orchids are far from delicate

BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O

rchids have been around for millions of years and thrive on every continent except Antarctica.

But with such a hearty ancestry, how do you keep from killing them once you bring them home from the grocery store?

Whether you’ve purchased one for yourself or received one as a gift, you may be among those that find orchids intimidating. Although growing in popularity, expert growers say these exotic beauties are, perhaps, among the most misunderstood of all houseplants.

A brief history of orchids Opinions on when and where orchids first appeared on earth are as varied as the plant itself. However, research points to sometime between 60 and 190 million years ago.

The Chinese philosopher and statesman Confusious often wrote about orchids, immortalizing their beauty and fragrance in his poetry.

Other formalized references to orchids appear in print between 350 B.C. and 287 B.C. in Theophrastus’s “Enquiry Into Plants,” an early manual that described and classified plants.

In early Greece, orchids were revered as symbols of fertility, as the Greek word óchis translates as testicle, inspired by the shape of its root. In some stories, women would ingest large amounts of orchis roots if they wanted to have a son and less if they wanted a girl.

Orchids eventually made their way to the wealthy in England through financed collecting expeditions. Many publications cite instances of “orchidelirium” or orchid madness during Victorian times.

Voracious appetites for cultivating, selling, and trading the unusual flowers among the upper class gave rise to organized groups of collectors and early orchid publications and societies.

Many rare species died en route from their native habitat or at the hands of inexperienced handlers, driving up the price exponentially.

Some orchids were so sought-after by anxious collectors that entire species were destroyed.

A recent article by The Guardian’s reporter Patrick Greenfield tells of modern-day orchid smugglers in England have warranted increased security around the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens to prevent theft of rare and unusual spe cies.

About that grocery store orchid Today, orchids can be found almost anywhere, including your local supermarket florist and the garden section at hardware stores.

According to Althea McKinney, an orchid expert and greenhouse

Orchids often bloom in the winter, which can be very gratifying, while other outdoor plants are dormant. The 10,000 square-foot Fantasy Orchids greenhouse in Louisville, Colorado, is home to 30,000 to 50,000 orchids at any given time.

So what’s the secret to not killing them?

McKinney says it’s simple.

Orchids, by design, thrive on benign neglect.

They need only water, fertilizer and sunlight.

No classical music is required.

To be fair, orchids are a little different than other household plants.

“They grow in the same jungle as your typical snake plants, spider plants and monsteras, but those plants all grow on the jungle floor. Orchids grow up in the trees,” McKinney said.

And that means watering them beckons a whole new school of thought.

“If you think about it, the orchid’s roots are pretty exposed in their natural environment, so water rushes over them,” she said. “And then they dry out pretty quickly, compared to a typical houseplant that grows in soil.”

But the main thing to remember is that orchids never sit in water for prolonged periods.

McKinney recommends watering your new orchid by plunging it, still in its slotted plastic container, into lukewarm water.

The idea is to quickly saturate everything in the pot and then let it dry out between waterings.

Overwatering is among the most frequent causes of orchid deaths.

“I usually suggest soaking your orchid for no more than five minutes, or just or just running water through the pot for 30 seconds,” she said. “That’s all there is to it.”

And while you’re watering, think about light and fertilizer.

“We fertilize every single time we water,” McKinney said. “A lot of people will come in with a plant, and I can tell that has been 10 feet away from a window, they have not fertilized it the entire they’ve had it—and

Orchids are the largest group of flowering plants on earth. Unfortunately, they are also among the most misunderstood.

Their exotic blooms and aerial roots often give the impression of being demanding and challenging when it comes to care.

However, orchid experts say they are one of the most resilient and longest blooming houseplants available to plant lovers of all skill levels.

grocery store orchids are of the Phalaenopsis variety, more commonly known as moth orchids. They are monopodial, meaning they typically grow from a single stem.

But buying an orchid is the easy part, right?

Well, yes.

But McKinney says caring for your orchid can also be easy.

She said that what gets most newly-minted orchid lovers in trouble is the care tag that comes with the orchid.

McKinney said some tags instruct the owner to toss the plant in the garbage after it blooms.

Other tags will say water the plant with ice cubes.

“It’s really just a marketing thing,” she said. “They want to provide a cheap plant and then get you to buy another. I can tell you that watering an orchid with ice cubes will damage the root structure over time.”

get frustrated because they can’t get it to rebloom. Light, nutrients and proper watering is the key.”

She said just follow the instructions that come with the bag of fertilizer, but don’t go crazy.

Over-fertilizing can burn your orchid’s root system.

Yes, but can they survive in Colorado?

Orchids belong to the most prominent plant families in the world and come in many forms, shapes, sizes and colors.

They have learned to thrive in various locations, including marshy bogs and mountain tops.

McKinney said there are close to 20 species of orchids native to Colorado.

Experts at the Denver Botanic Gardens say that number is closer to 25, albeit orchids native to Colorado are dormant most of the year and are far more diminutive than their glamorous tropical cousins.

These orchids are found in moist shaded ravines and at altitudes between 8,000 and 11,000 feet.

Peak bloom times range between late May and early September.

Unfortunately, McKinney says Colorado’s cool, dry climate is not the biggest challenge to growing healthy orchids in the Centennial State.

The biggest threat is the internet.

“There’s a lot of misinformation

Althea McKinney

Greenhouse attendant Althea McKinney stands among thousands of orchids at Fantasy Orchids in Louisville, one of the largest retail and wholesale orchids suppliers to the state. She said growing orchids in Colorado is not as difficult as many believe— there are approximately 20 species of orchids that are native to the Centennial State.

floating around on the internet; much of it comes from YouTubers who don’t grow orchids in an environment like ours,” she said.

“People try to mimic what people are doing on the other side of the world, which is a death sentence for these plants, which are very easy to

care for.”

Plants grown at Fantasy Orchids are already climatized to Colorado’s low-humidity environment.

Colorado lawmakers plan to overhaul unemployment system Plans include extending benefits to immigrants

BY TAMARA CHUANG AND JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado lawmakers are planning to introduce a bill as soon as this week that would overhaul the state’s unemployment system and also send roughly $600 million to the depleted unemployment insurance trust fund to lower a $1 billion federal debt hanging over employers.

The $600 million replenishment was expected — Gov. Jared Polis made the recommendation in November — but the changes to the unemployment system are a surprise that comes after months of behind-the-scenes negotiations between lawmakers, Polis’ office, the business community and progressive fiscal groups.

Many of the systemic changes proposed in the forthcoming bill are extensions of temporary changes made during the pandemic.

Some details are still being negotiated, but the alterations are slated to include continuing a COVIDera fund offering unemployment benefits to people living in the U.S. illegally who aren’t eligible for aid under federal law, as well as making permanent a change allowing people to collect more benefits even if they secure part-time work.

“We have a number of provisions that were put in on a temporary basis during the pandemic that have worked really well for the state and have helped families get back on their feet,” said state Sen. Chris Hansen, a Denver Democrat who will be a prime sponsor of the bill.

“We think it’s a good idea to make many of them ongoing.”

Hansen said the legislation is expected to have bipartisan support in both the House and Senate, though Republican sponsors in both chambers haven’t been finalized.

While Republicans have called for eliminating the full $1 billion debt owed to the federal government by the trust fund, the business community appears happy with where the legislation is headed.

“The $600 million is a huge win for employers across the state,”

Lawmakers and lobbyists are seen at the Capitol on Jan. 12 in Denver at the start of Colorado’s General Assembly’s 2022 session.

said Loren Furman, president of the Colorado Chamber of Commerce.

Employers, who are solely responsible for filling the trust fund, are paying more this year in unemployment insurance premiums. But they face even higher payments in 2023 because of the deficit, caused by the federal government keeping Colorado afloat during the pandemic. Insolvency surcharges won’t stop until the trust fund fills its $1 billion hole. To get the fund fully solvent, it needs $2 billion to $2.5 billion, according to Colorado Department of Labor and Employment officials.

Furman said that without the $600 million replenishment, businesses will face higher costs because of solvency surcharges and that’s not fair because they kept their businesses going through the pandemic. Companies that shut down no longer contribute, even as their workers benefited from the trust fund.

Progressive organizations also say they and labor groups are pleased with the upcoming legisla-

tion.

“What we’re doing with this bill is just making sure that we are as prepared for the next recession as we can be,” said Kathy White, executive director of the liberal-leaning Colorado Fiscal Institute. “That includes forward funding (the trust fund) to accelerate solvency and preserving some of the policy changes that were made during the pandemic that are really targeted at making sure the program works for workers and it works for the lowest wage workers. That’s where we saw the greatest gaps.”

What made it into the bill The bill’s proposed changes to the unemployment system are meant to continue what state and federal lawmakers started during the pandemic. They are designed to help low-wage unemployed workers survive in a future recession.

“One of the things that we really learned through the pandemic is that the unemployment insurance system is literally the only and first line of defense that the United States has to manage recessions, to

keep the economy basically from tanking and going into a vicious spiral as jobs are lost,” White said.

“During the pandemic, there was a recognition by the Trump administration first and the Biden administration second … that there are just certain gaps in how well the UI system works for workers, even though it’s the most critical system we have. It’s an automatic stabilizer.”

There are three key changes set to be included in the forthcoming legislation: • Colorado lawmakers created the Left Behind Worker Fund during the pandemic to provide financial help to workers living in the U.S. unlawfully who lost their job because of COVID-19. The bill would make the fund permanent and change the name to the Benefit Recovery Fund. The goal is to help immigrants whose employers already pay their unemployment insurance but who are ineligible to receive unemployment benefits because of federal laws. The fund SEE LEGISLATURE, P18

LEGISLATURE FROM PAGE 16

would not raise unemployment premiums and it would be capped.

• Currently, Coloradans receive 55% of their regular pay as unemployment. But if they work part time and earn 25% or more of the weekly benefit, that benefit starts to diminish. That provision hurt employers who had to reduce their operating hours in the pandemic because it meant their employees could make more by not working.

The legislation would raise the partial UI limit to 50% before the worker sees any reduction in their benefits.

• Employers would be required under the bill to inform their workers that they are eligible for unemployment benefits.

Three other proposed changes to the unemployment system under the legislation are still being negotiated. They would: • Eliminate the one-week waiting period between when a worker loses their job and their unemployment benefits start. White said the thinking behind this change is that low-wage earners need the money as soon as possible. The one-week delay was waived during the pandemic.

• Waive a requirement that unemployed workers repay unemployment overpayments. During the pandemic, an executive order required the state labor department to pay benefits first and then check on eligibility. Because of that mandate, thousands of unemployed

workers later deemed ineligible were overpaid benefits and then required to pay them back. Many had already spent the money so it became a frustrating mess.

• Create dependent allowances by offering unemployed primary caretakers $25 per week per dependent. This stands to benefit single parents or a parent who is the family’s sole income provider. This won’t be part of the proposed bill. Instead, a committee will be created to study the proposal.

The idea behind the $25 per dependent comes from the federal $600 per-week pandemic unemployment supplement from Congress, which helped many workers stay afloat even as it was criticized for helping the lowest earners make more by staying jobless, White said.

Colorado currently pays a maximum of $700 a week for up to 26 weeks, while some states, such as Alabama, max out at $275.

Furman said the chamber and Colorado businesses have been working on the bill with state legislators and organizations like the Colorado Fiscal Institute since January.

“We want to make sure that these proposals don’t take money out of the fund at the most vulnerable time,” Furman said. “So some of the provisions we’re going to do through a study, some of them might get pushed up until the fund is at a billion-dollar threshold. It’s just about putting some guardrails around them.”

In a statement, Polis’ office thanked business leaders and bill

Dear Davis Schilken, My wife and I have recently grown our family and welcomed a set of twins! A baby boy and a baby girl. As I was combing through our finances and savings, I realized the amount of money needed to save for Higher Education doubled! What do we do?

Sincerely, Gretchen Gifting Dear Gretchen Gifting, Congratulations on your new family! From our experience, we know that you and your wife will have your hands full for years to come. Planning for rugrats is something that takes careful consideration and love!

Saving for Higher Education can be a very burdensome goal. Not to mention, sight can be easily lost as it is a goal that is typically 18 years away. Not to worry, there are options!

One of the most effective planning tools for Higher Education is the 529 Plan.

First off, there are no income tax consequences associated with direct payment of tuition expenses. However, for financial aid purposes, direct payment of tuition expenses will likely be considered a resource that will reduce the student’s financial aid awards on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Since expenses such as room and board, books, and fees do not qualify for the exclusion from gift tax, establishing a 529 plan, in addition to directly paying tuition, will allow for the payment of incidental expenses in a tax-advantaged way.

A 529 plan is an investment account created by a donor in the name of a designated beneficiary for the purpose of paying education expenses. Funds invested in a 529 plan will accumulate and grow free of federal income tax, and if the funds are used for qualified education expenses (for college: tuition, room and board, fees, books, supplies, and equipment; for elementary, middle and high schools: tuition only), they are exempt from federal income tax.

529 plans are vehicles created under federal law, but every jurisdiction has a plan – with Colorado’s being among the most popular. Although a donor is not required to participate in the donor’s state plan, there may be state income tax incentives to do so. There are three main factors to consider when determining which state plan to use: state tax benefits, investment options, and cost.

sponsors who are following up on his original proposal to use $600 million to pare down the trust fund deficit. The office didn’t comment on proposed changes to the unemployment system.

“We appreciate the work of the sponsors, business and workers’ advocates to move forward with a proposal that fully funds the governor’s budget request,” the statement said.

How $600 million will help insolvency issues Colorado’s unemployment insurance trust fund ran out of money in August 2020, five months into the pandemic. But unemployed workers still got paid, thanks to the state getting a loan from the federal government.

That loan swelled to $1 billion by April 2021.

Even as workers returned to their jobs and employers paid premiums to the trust fund, the federal loan was still more than $1 billion as of April 15, according to the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Colorado employers are on the hook for repaying the loan through additional fees. Annual unemployment insurance premiums increased in January because the trust fund was empty on June 30, the date of the annual health checkup. By state statute, that alone means Colorado employers shift to a higher rate. Colorado employers are now paying the highest rate possible (see the far rightcolumn in this rate schedule).

Next year, employers will see their costs rise because of the new trust fund solvency surcharge and the loss of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act credit.

The proposed bill would address both. By shoring up the trust fund with $600 million, employers could see the solvency surcharge stop in 2026 in the best-case scenario of a strong economy. With no government help and a weak economy, the surcharge could continue to 2028.

The proposed $600 million would come from Colorado’s share of federal pandemic relief through Congress’ American Rescue Plan Act. At least 16 other states have used American Rescue Plan Act money to replenish some or all of their depleted trust funds, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

Texas repaid its entire unemployment debt using federal money.

Some Republicans in the Colorado legislature have unsuccessfully advocated for doing the same.

The Colorado labor department said using the money to pay the federal loan to avoid the additional interest is the “best use of $600 million of ARPA,” said Daniel Chase, the state labor department’s chief of staff.

“Our current plan would be to use about $580 million to pay down

the loan balance upon receipt of the money, then hold the remaining amount to pay off the interest owed in September, which we estimate to be between $15 million and $20 million,” Chase said.

Federal law doesn’t allow states to use employer premiums to cover interest payments, so if Colorado didn’t set aside the $20 million balance for interest, the state would have to find other alternatives, he said.

But Chase doesn’t think Colorado will try to pay off the rest of its federal debt the same way it did after the Great Recession. Back then, Colorado’s federal unemployment loan ballooned to $578.2 million by March 2011, according to a U.S. Government Accountability Office report. Surcharges kicked in and some Colorado employers said their premiums tripled. The business community backed an effort for the state to issue a bond to finance the debt and reduce their fees. The bond was paid off in May 2017.

Colorado’s economy has recovered much more quickly than it did after the Great Recession. As of February, the state had recovered all of the 375,400 jobs lost in the first two months of the pandemic.

That’s why a bond may not be necessary, as employers are back to paying insurance premiums.

Nevertheless, the state labor department has bonding authority if needed. But it’s through the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, which was used during the Great Recession. CHFA no longer bonds for state agencies. So state lawmakers must transfer the labor department’s bonding authority to the treasurer’s office, which is also in the proposed bill.

“While we don’t anticipate the need to bond to the degree of the Great Recession, we do want to enhance our tools available should we be close to paying off the debt at key points in the next year,” Chase said.

If the trust fund balance is positive on June 30 and the loan is paid off, employers can move to a lower premium rate in 2023. Even if the state misses the date but pays off the loan by Nov. 10, the state avoids a FUTA credit reduction. But there are some models that show the state’s loan balance could still be $100 million.

“In that case,” Chase said, “bonding could be a financially viable option to hit that timeline.”

TOBACCO FROM PAGE 10

“This bill has probably been lobbied more than any other bill that I’ve seen in my four years here at the state Capitol,” Republican Rep. Matt Soper, of Delta, said during a committee hearing in March.

Others say the fight highlights the folly of trying to fund essential services with sin taxes, which are often meant to discourage a certain behavior.

“It’s not hard to see that that’s on a collision course,” said Rep. Marc Snyder, a Manitou Springs Democrat. “The more successful you are at accomplishing the social and health policy, the less revenue you have.”

Local control “in the eye of the beholder” The governor declined to answer repeated questions from the Colorado Sun about whether he is worried the measure will slash preschool funding generated by Proposition EE. Polis has a hard time seeing how a statewide approach to regulating flavored tobacco and nicotine products makes sense, spokesman Conor Cahill said, noting that the governor signed legislation in recent years giving local governments regulatory authority over tobacco products.

“As a general philosophy, the governor prefers local control because our local governments are closest to the people they represent and can weigh the pros and cons and determine how to best address these kinds of issues in

their area,” Cahill said in a written statement.

A number of cities and towns in Colorado have already passed their own flavor bans, including Aspen, Boulder, Carbondale and Glenwood Springs.

Colorado counties believe they lack the legal authority to pass flavor bans, though a few have increased taxes on the products as a way to try to discourage their use.

Additionally, some mayors say the local efforts have limited effect.

“They’re just not working,” Edgewater Mayor John Beltrone told lawmakers of local ordinances. “Our high school — Jefferson High — is two blocks away from a smoke shop in Lakewood that doesn’t have these restrictions.”

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock vetoed a flavor-ban ordinance passed by the Denver City Council last year, in part because he believed state action would be more effective.

“It is not a prohibitive enough barrier if our youth are simply able to travel across Denver’s border to the nearest convenience store and obtain flavored tobacco products,” Hancock wrote in a letter issuing his veto.

Kevin Bommer, executive director of the Colorado Municipal League, said the group’s members are split; some support the bill while others don’t want to be told what businesses they can have in their community, referencing concerns from vape shops who say the bill would put them out of business.

Some three dozen Colorado municipalities have adopted regulations on youth access to vaping products that are less restrictive

than a ban, according to the Rocky Mountain Smoke Free Alliance, an association that represents about 125 small Colorado vape stores.

Those policies include only selling vaping products in age-restricted stores or imposing stiff penalties on those caught selling to minors, said Joe Miklosi, a former state lawmaker lobbying for the association, which opposes the bill.

The governor’s concern about local control is “a curious position, actually,” Bommer said, citing Polis’ “unwillingness to support local control on building codes and sales taxes.”

“I guess local control is in the eye of the beholder,” he said.

Health officials say the products pose health risks Health officials say flavored tobacco and nicotine products pose a serious public health risk, especially for children of color and those with low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Alarm about the flavored products dates back to at least 2018, when the U.S. Surgeon General said there was an epidemic of e-cigarette use among young people, fueled by “new types of e-cigarettes that have recently entered the market.”

Soon after, there was an outbreak of severe lung injuries tied to vaping products containing THC. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has tightened regulations on flavored nicotine products but some manufacturers switched to synthetic nicotine to evade the added scrutiny. The omnibus spending bill passed by Congress earlier this year would close that loophole and leave manufacturers with 30 days to ask

the FDA to continue selling their products.

At Girls Athletic Leadership Schools in Denver, school officials have caught pre-teens with vaping devices that look like mascara wands or have fruity flavors like pineapple, said Carol Bowar, the school’s executive director. The products are more discreet than smoking marijuana or a cigarette, she said, and students caught with the products tell school officials they are able to buy them without being carded.

“It’s a really deadly, addictive substance that’s disguised as something benign. And that is what’s troubling,” Bowar said.

Nicotine is particularly addictive for preteens and teenagers whose brains are still developing, said pediatrician Anne Shelton, a member of the Colorado Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

That group supports the legislation.

Nearly 30% of Colorado high school students used vapes, e-cigarettes and similar products in 2019, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among young adults who use tobacco, more than 80% started with flavored products, according to a study by the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health.

Women’s Bean Project celebrates rebuilding lives A new facility planned in Denver

BY MARGARET FLEMING THE COLORADO SUN

Sabina Dyer was in a treatment center when she applied for a slot at the Women’s Bean Project in Denver. She needed a job and had heard good things about the nonprofit that uses employment to help train women for the workforce from a previous graduate of the organization. The organization hires women struggling to find employment to make and manufacture products from black bean soup to jellybeans.

Dyer got the job, tried her best to show up on time and every day, and soon got promoted to a lead position. After she graduated from the program, she landed the role of shipping supervisor, a rare opportunity to be permanently hired for a job within the organization.

“If I would’ve worked somewhere else, I probably would have relapsed or I would have probably went back to that lifestyle, because I wouldn’t have been happy,” Dyer said. “But I’m happy here and I feel like the work is meaningful. And it just changed my life and my perspective on life, too.”

Dyer celebrated her accomplishments on April 20 at the organization’s annual fundraiser and

Green Mountain senior Beau Stratman (19) reached the 50-goal mark already this season with five goals against Air Academy on April 22 at Trailblazer Stadium. However, it wasn’t enough as the Rams suffered a 10-9 overtime loss to the Kadets.

Green Mountain takes positives out of OT loss to Air Academy

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Air Academy freshman Lucas Obringer was the hero for the Kadets on April 22 at Trailblazer Stadium.

Obringer ripped home the game-winning, walk-off goal 15 seconds into overtime in the Class 4A boys lacrosse top-5 showdown between No. 5 Air Academy and No. 4 Green Mountain. Air Academy won 10-9 to stay undefeated in the 4A Foothills League.

“Oh my gosh,” Obringer said describing the goal.

“Our plan was if we got out on a fast-break we weren’t going to call a timeout. I practice that shot a million times in practice. It was a nice shot to the bottom.”

Air Academy junior Jake Brader was able to win the

opening face-off in overtime. Brader was able to flip the ball to sophomore Will Schipfer, who raced toward the goal. Schipfer centered a pass to Obringer, who gathered himself before rifling a low shot past Green Mountain goalie Connor Watts.

“Being ready for these exact moments,” Air Academy coach Ethan Hilberg said after the dramatic overtime victory. “Working on it as a team in practice. Getting better every day.”

Air Academy (9-2, 3-0 in 4A Foothills League) held its biggest lead of 7-3 at halftime. Senior Grant Rodny and sophomore Carter Inazu each had three goals for the Kadets at the break. However, Green Mountain (9-3, 2-2) had an impressive secondhalf rally.

Green Mountain senior Beau Stratman scored three

straight goals in the third quarter to cut Air Academy’s lead to 7-6. Juniors Zak Freedman and Kole Stratman scored back-to-back goals in the to ties things up 8-8 with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Beau Stratman put in his fifth goal of the game after he scooped up the initial shot by senior Anthony Didonato and buried it past Air Academy goalie Luke McLellan. The 50th goal of the season by the older Stratman brother gave the Rams their first lead of the game 9-8 with 41.4 seconds left in regulation-time.

However, Rodny scored his fourth goal of the game with a rocket shot with 10.2 seconds left to send it into overtime. Air Academy didn’t waste anytime with Obringer’s goals 15 seconds into overtime to end it.

“I thought we kept pretty good composure going into those last couple of minutes,” Obringer said. “That was crucial.”

It was the second loss for Green Mountain this week against another top-5 team.

No. 1 Denver South defeated the Rams 15-4 on Wednesday night.

“Definitely frustrated with the finish,” Green Mountain coach Nate Hallahan admitted. “I thought we fought really hard and this team hasn’t had the chance to fight really hard in a close game.”

Hallahan added the Rams are a little banged up missing a few starters, but is pleased with his team heading into the final three games of the regular season before playoffs.

“I think there is a ton to be happy about,” Hallahan

said after the second loss in the last three days. “We are going to see teams like that again and I feel like this prepares us really well for those games.”

Air Academy has a huge showdown against Denver South next week. The Kadets are at Denver South on Wednesday, April 27, with the winner likely to claim the league title.

“After the (win) against Golden we felt like the next two game were ‘mustwin’ games,” Hilberg said.

“There conference games and we’ve got to try to win the conference. This was a big win today, but now we have to get ready for South.”

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LITTLETON — Chatfield senior Christian Foutch finally got his shot to take the mound against rival Columbine in a Class 5A Jeffco League game April 23.

The University of Arkansas-commit didn’t disappoint throwing a completegame shutout in the Chargers’ 12-0 victory that ended after five innings due to the 10-run mercy rule.

“It was awesome to the throw the Columbine game,” Foutch said. “It meant ev-

erything because I’ve never thrown against Columbine. I just wanted to come in here, fill up the (strike) zone and make them earn everything.

I think I did a pretty good job of that.”

Foutch threw under 70 pitches while striking out eight and giving up just two hits and one walk. Despite a strong wind blowing directly out to centerfield, the hard-throwing righty had only to balls reach the outfield.

Senior Grayson Headrick singled in the bottom of the first inning and senior

Brock Zanetell singled in the bottom of the fourth inning for the only two hits of the game for the Rebels (3-13, 0-3 in 5A Jeffco League).

Foutch finished the game catching an infield popup.

“I caught the last one,” Foutch said with a smile, adding he was please with how his fielders handled catching four infield popups in the tricky wind. “I caught the last one. Just decided I should be the one to end it.”

sively since conference play started last week. The Chargers have put up double-digit runs in all three league games. Senior Dylan Novotny led the charge against Columbine with solo home runs to leadoff the second and third innings.

“Earlier in the game I was thinking right side,” Novotny said of his approach at the plate. “I wanted to make sure I got on base to start off those innings. I barreled up two balls and obviously with the wind its going to take them.”

Novotny also walked and scored in Chatfield’s 6-run top of the fifth inning.

“It was definitely nice to have Foutch on the field with him and I both being seniors,” Novotny said.

“It being our last game against Columbine we definitely needed to do something today because we weren’t going to leave this field hwith a loss.”

Senior Aidan Mullen went backto-back with Novotny in the second inning ripping a solo home run over the left field fence the pitch after Novotny’s first home run.

“Aidan and Dylan have both been hitting the ball really well,” Chatfield coach Brett Pieratt said. “They were lights out in BP (batting practice) this morning and felt today was ”going to be special for both of those guys.”

the game early. The Chargers defeated Bear Creek 16-1 in four innings on April 21. Two big bounce-back wins after a rough conference opener April 19 at Ralston Valley.

“It was definitely frustrating for sure. Not just because I started the game, but seeing how we got outhit and couldn’t shut the door on them,” Foutch said of the 12-11 loss to Ralston Valley in the league opener where Chatfield led 11-5 after five innings. “It put a salty taste in our mouth and we have focused on winning every game from here on out to win league.”

Junior Mason Lowe had struck out his first three plate appearances against Columbine, but the twosport star belted a 3-run double to the wall to push Chatfield’s lead to 10-0 in the top of the fifth inning.

“We feel like if we score 11 runs we should be anybody,” Pieratt said.

Chatfield has a home non-league game against Grandview on Monday, April 25. The Chargers get back into conference play with three straight road contests against Arvada West (April 28), Lakewood (April 30) and Valor Christian (May 3).

“We feel like everyone is going to have a loss in league,” Pieratt said.

“We have a chance and we just have to keep playing. The last two games we’ve had to quality starts from our pitchers and we are hitting the ball.”

graduation ceremony called Ready, Set, Grow. She was one of three current graduates featured in a video shown to the hundreds of supporters in the room.

Beside the changes for each of the women crossing the stage, there’s another big change coming to the program in the next couple of months. The Women’s Bean Project is opening a brand-new facility, growing to 20,000 square feet at a repurposed car dealership in Athmar Park from 10,000 at its current location at a former firehouse in Curtis Park.

About 70% of a woman’s time at the Women’s Bean Project is spent working, and 30% spent in program activities — such as computer or financial literacy classes — or personal development tasks like creating a sobriety plan, CEO Tamra Ryan said. (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America) The new location gives the nonprofit room to grow the number of women it serves. At the end of three years, CEO Tamra Ryan estimates they will employ a hundred women a year in full time jobs, up from about 60 women in the program now.

“I would say four out of five qualified applicants, we don’t have space for currently,” Ryan said.

The new facility will create jobs for the for-profit side of the organization and increase opportunities to take on jobs for other companies.

Through the expansion, more women will have the chance to break out of the cycle of poverty through employment.

The Women’s Bean Project has served over 1,000 women since its founding in 1989, with the intention to help them gain independence and self-sufficiency.

“What we truly believe is that when you change a woman’s life, you change her family’s life,” Ryan said.

“I want to hire another graduate” All the women learn the basics of food production, safety and manufacturing during the seven-month program. They learn to make 50 different products that are sold online and in supermarkets across the

Women’s Bean Project CEO Tamra Ryan said the new building will expand the organization’s business and personal development programming.

country. Participants spend their time in production, on the shipping line with Dyer, or doing a variety of other tasks.

Nearly a third of the women’s paid time is spent in programming and coursework. Participants can attend trauma response groups, brush up on their math, reading and writing, enroll in computer and GED classes, get help getting a driver’s license, and receive resume and cover letter advice. On Wellness Wednesdays, speakers come in to talk about empowerment, art and community involvement.

“I’ve seen a couple different women grow,” Dyer said. “And that’s what the whole mission is here, so it’s really great to watch.”

All women are assigned a volunteer job coach from the community who meets with her for an hour each week. Five social work interns called participant advocates meet with the women to help address basic needs like housing, which the program does not provide.

After graduating from the program, the women go on to another full-time position. Within one year after graduation, about 95% of women are employed. Ryan said the organization prioritizes skills that can transfer to their next job after graduation.

Important skills are having consistent attendance, good communication with supervisors, the ability to take direction, and being able to pay attention to details. Ryan said she wants employers to know that

if a woman graduated from their program, she is a great employee.

“I think the best testimony is when somebody comes back and says, ‘Hey, she is so awesome, I want to hire another graduate,’” Ryan said.

“Serve more women better” The new facility is set to open by mid-June. The organization’s production area alone is increasing to 9,000 square feet from just 2,500 currently. The number of production lines will go to six from two.

The program will grow slowly in the new building, adding 15 more women to its ranks in the first year.

Ryan anticipates 40 more hires within three years, increasing the size of the program to 100 women.

But adding more jobs isn’t the only benefit of the new space.

The current facility lacks private meeting spaces, so a woman and her participant advocate might have to sit in the corner where others could overhear them. The new building offers small and large meeting rooms, as well as phone booth-style rooms for private work and conversations. Ryan said the new facility was designed with safety and privacy in mind.

“Maybe she needs to call a shelter to see if there’s a bed that night,” Ryan said. “She doesn’t have to do that out in the open.”

Health and wellness experts from the community often come in to provide services to the women, but those resources will

be expanded with more space. A dedicated wellness area will offer facials, visits from optometrists and dental hygienists, and trauma-informed yoga. A computer lab and classroom space will also build upon existing programs that lack their own rooms in the current building.

A goal in constructing the new facility is to thoughtfully make a safer environment for the women.

Ryan said the upcoming move directly ties into the overarching objectives of the strategic plan, which guides all departments of the organization.

“The building will allow us to serve more women better,” Ryan said.

The company makes more than a million dollars per year from its manufacturing business, but fundraises about the same amount through grants and donations.

The cost of personal-development programming is mainly covered by fundraising, most of which occurs at Ready, Set, Grow.

The April 20 annual fundraiser usually brings in about $250,000 in an hour. Ryan said it’s powerful to see hundreds of people gather in celebration of the women in the program.

“It’s just so cool to see so many people show up to be supportive,” Ryan said. “And then to not just be supportive by physically being there, but to give.”

Ryan, several members of the board of directors and a former graduate spoke about the impacts of the program and encouraged guests to donate. The graduates received several rounds of applause and a “I really still dream of a day when we’re no longer necessary,” Ryan said in her speech to guests. “Until then, today we are presenting you with an opportunity to invest in the future of a woman who has chosen to come to the Bean Project to change her life.”

FENTANYL FROM PAGE 30

fentanyl, a synthetic opioid fatal at about 2 or 3 milligrams.

More than 900 Coloradans died from fentanyl overdoses last year, up from 540 the year before, according to state health department data.

Four children under age 10, and 35 people between 10 and 18 years old died from fentanyl overdoses in 2021.

Five people died from a suspected fentanyl overdose in Commerce City earlier this year. Authorities believe the people thought they were ingesting cocaine.

House Bill 1326 was unveiled at a March news conference featuring Gov. Jared Polis, lawmakers and families who lost loved ones to fentanyl, which is 50 times more potent than heroin and 80 to 100 times more potent than morphine.

“When it comes to providing tools for law enforcement and for prosecutors to go after the people who are peddling this drug,” said House Speaker Alec Garnett, a Denver Democrat and prime sponsor the bill. “This is a strong bill.”

Garnett added: “I know that people don’t think it’s a perfect bill.

You’re never going to get the perfect bill when it comes to trying to address this crisis because there is no silver bullet.”

As amended April 13, House Bill 1326 would make possessing more than 1 gram but less than 4 grams of a fentanyl compound a Level 4 drug

felony if the person knew or “should have known” it contained fentanyl.

Illicit fentanyl is often mixed into other drugs because it is cheap and potent, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Tom Raynes, executive director of the Colorado District Attorneys’ Council, said the requirement that prosecutors prove a person knew they were possessing fentanyl is a challenge — but not an insurmountable one.

“It creates an extra hurdle that exists nowhere else in the law,” Raynes said.

At least one state, Ohio, has a similar standard, he said.

Rep. Jennifer Bacon, a Denver Democrat, said she couldn’t support the amendment, citing the disproportionate impact drug arrests have on people of color. She said a felony charge has outsized consequences on people and that the legislature needed to take that into consideration.

Bacon was among four members of the Judiciary Committee who voted against the amendment.

The three others were Reps. Mike Weissman, D-Aurora; Terri Carver, R-Colorado Springs; and Rod Bockenfeld, R-Arapahoe County.

Carver and Bockenfeld argued that possessing any amount of fentanyl for personal use should be a felony.

Carver offered an amendment that would have made it a felony to possess any amount of fentanyl. The amendment failed, with six members of the committee opposed and five in favor. Rep. Dylan Roberts, an

Avon Democrat who works as a prosecutor, joined the four Republicans on the committee in voting in favor of Carver’s amendment.

The committee also amended the bill to make possessing a compound mixture with a fentanyl content of more than 60% a Level 2 drug felony, no matter the quantity. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation can’t currently test a drug mixture for fentanyl with that level of specificity. Garnett characterized the amendment as one meant to prepare for when the agency’s lab has that testing capability.

House Bill 1326 would also: • Make possessing 1 gram or less of fentanyl or a fentanyl compound a Level 1 drug misdemeanor. On the fourth offense, it would be a Level 4 drug felony, punishable by six months to two years in prison.

• Make possessing 4-50 grams of a fentanyl compound or mixture with the intent to distribute it a Level 2 drug felony, which carries a penalty of four to 16 years in prison • Make possessing more than 50 grams of a fentanyl compound or mixture with the intent to distribute it a Level 1 drug felony. That comes with a prison term of up to 32 years.

• Make possessing a pill press used to mix fentanyl with other drugs a Level 1 drug felony.

Under current law, possessing up to 14 grams of fentanyl with an intent to distribute is a Level 3 drug felony, punishable by two to six years in prison. Possessing more than 225 grams of fentanyl with an intent to distribute is a Level 1 drug

felony, punishable by a prison term of up to 32 years.

Additionally, House Bill 1326 would make it a Level 1 drug felony to distribute fentanyl if it leads to someone’s death, though there is a carveout for people possessing less than 4 grams of the drug who try to assist someone who overdoses.

The bill includes $300,000 for fentanyl test strips and $20 million to pay for the distribution of Narcan, the trade name for an opioid overdose reversal drug. About $6 million is set aside for harm reduction grants and $3 million to provide treatment for people jailed and to provide naloxone to some people when they are released.

Under other amendments passed by the committee on April 13, people convicted of possessing 1 to 4 grams of fentanyl would be able to seal their criminal record two years after completing supervised release, rather than the current three-year wait period. Those same people would also be able to vote while in jail.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid used to treat severe pain. Illicit fentanyl is primarily manufactured in other countries and smuggled into the U.S., according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
