Lone Thornton Democrat John Soper helps kill Colorado Foreclosure Bill. (Opinion Article by Karl Emmerich)
This week, the Colorado legislature nailed the coffin shut on Bill HB-1156 (8-5 vote) that would have required lenders to prove their right to proceed with residential foreclosures and was touted as a measure that would have empathized with homeowners in Colorado.

Is fracking the start of the demise of our communities as we know it? The Gateway News dares to open up a pandora's box of your comments in both a pro- and con- direction. One thing is certain, however, we're not about to disguise your true sentiments under the guise of trade secret or even our own views on the matter. To know fracking is to love it (or hate it). ...
