DENVER (KDVR) -- The Common Sense Institute released its November crime snapshot report Friday, suggesting that even as crime rates fell in all seven of Colorado's neighboring states, crime in Colorado is on the rise.CSI's report compares 2012 rates to 2022, detailing what's changed in the past decade.Overall, crime has increased by 21.6%, the Institute reported. Neighboring states' crime rates appear to have fallen by approximately 28% during that same time period. CSI reported that national crime rates have fallen even more — 28.3%.“When it comes to crime, Colorado is still outpacing both neighboring states and the nation,” said CSI Executive Director Kelly Caufield. “In fact, from 2012 to 2022, Colorado is the only state among seven of its neighbors to experience a crime rate increase.” Construction to improve pedestrian safety on Federal Boulevard starts soon Colorado holds the dubious titles of third in the nation for property crime and eighth in the nation for violent crime....Runaway driver sought for Ruby Hill neighborhood hit-and-run

As our country reflects on the decisions made to close schools during the COVID-19 pandemic and the severe damage it did to students’ academic progress, it would be easy to assume students being out of school is a problem of the past.It would be easy, but it would also be wrong. As it turns out, while schools have reopened and returned to normal, millions of students are missing.According to a recent report from Stanford University, chronic absenteeism, defined as when students miss roughly 18 days of school year, is on the rise in 40 states across the country. In the 2021-22 school year, there were 6.5 million more students chronically absent than in the 2018-19 school year, an increase of roughly 14%.An analysis from Attendance Works and the Everyone Graduates Center at Johns Hopkins University forecasts chronic absenteeism in 2022-23 to be roughly 28%, nearly double the pre-pandemic rate.But it isn’t just the rate of change that is different, it is also the populations of student...Editorial: Feds waste billions of taxpayer $$ on empty offices

“Office Space” may be a comedy classic, but the government’s version is no laughing matter.Last month, the U.S. Government Accountability Office released a report on how federal agencies use — or don’t use — their headquarters. It examined 24 agencies, including the departments of Justice, Education and Transportation.It found that 17 of the 24 agency headquarters buildings “were at 25 percent capacity or less in the first three months of 2023.” Among the bottom quartile of agencies, the usage was a mere 9%. Even among the agencies that used their headquarters’ space the most, none topped 50% occupancy.This is an issue with a large footprint. The federal government owns more than 460 million square feet of office space. Maintaining it costs taxpayers billions every year. It’s wasteful to have so much unused space.One might assume this is a new problem. Perhaps the federal government has been slow to adjust to remote work and the bureaucracy just hasn’t had time to recalculate how mu...Netflix’s ‘The Crown’ readies to end its reign

Peter Morgan’s stunning — and stunningly inventive – series, “The Crown,” which profiled the extraordinary and lengthy reign of Queen Elizabeth II, now concludes with its final two-part Season 6 beginning Nov. 16.It all began in 2006 with Morgan scripting Helen Mirren’s Oscar-winning theatrical movie “The Queen” and, more importantly, its 2013 theatrical spin-off “The Audience,” again with Mirren, which noted the passages of her reign in weekly meetings with various Prime Ministers.That notion of looking at her reign as one decades-long story led to this ambitious and extraordinarily expensive series. “The Crown” launched with Elizabeth’s 1947 marriage to Prince Philip, her first-ever televised coronation and the drama of her sister Margaret giving in to familial and religious pressure and not marrying the divorced Peter Townsend.“The Crown” continued to the dawn of the 21st century, following Princess Diana’s death and Prince Charles’ relationship with Camilla Par...Franks: Welfare reform, abortion impact elections
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:45:22 GMT
Is it possible that welfare reform and my small contribution toward that effort in 1996 as the Republican chairman of the Welfare Reform Task Force may have inadvertently contributed to the election of a Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate in 2022, a Kentucky governor, and a Virginia state legislature in 2023? Sounds strange.After the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade – which returned the abortion question back to the states – the GOP has had to fend off well organized campaigns in states across the country.Is there a lesson to be learned?At the very least, Democratic women and young women have been super motivated to vote and vote Democrat. There is no wonder and no secret why Vice President Kamala Harris is leading the charge for the Biden-Harris campaign on the abortion rights issue. She has made frequent college campus stops to discuss the issue. It is paying political dividends.One of the primary goals of the Welfare Reform Bill was to break the cycle of government dep...Latest news
