“The banks broke our economy and it's time they pay to fix it,” reads an email invitation from the Colorado Progressive Coalition (CPC) to last Thursday's “Make Banks Pay” community meeting held at True Light Baptist Church.....
A new report released today shows that good paying jobs are in small supply throughout the West.
In
Colorado, for every 15 people looking for jobs, there is only one job
opening that will pay the $29.71 needed to support single parent with
two children, according to the report released by the Northwest
Federation of Community Organization.
DENVER –The bond for an 85-year-old accused of assault with a deadly
weapon for smacking a volunteer parking enforcement officer with a cane
had his bond reduced late Friday afternoon and he was released from
jail.
Earlier in the day members of the Colorado Progressive Coalition
demanded an explanation from Denver’s mayor as to why The elderly man
was arrested in the middle of the night two weeks after an altercation
and asked to pay a $50,000 bond.
The turn of events came just hours after
a group of community activists demanded answers from city officials
about why police rousted Copeland from his bed in the middle of the
night and why a judge originally held him on such high bail.
A
judge typically lowers bail when charges are formally filed and a
defendant appears in court for his second advisement. Kimbrough
declined to specify the charge Copeland faces but said the office could
file it early next week.
