(DENVER, Colo.) Greetings and happy Friday to you and yours, Denver Rounderuppers.
Welcome back to another Friday edition of the Denver Daily Roundup.
Denver's weather over Memorial Day weekend will begin warm and dry, with near-record temperatures near 90 Friday and Saturday. However, cooler and wetter weather will arrive by Sunday.
Without further ado, let's take a closer look at a few of the top, local stories from the NewsBreak Denver team you should be aware of this Friday:
Denver could join Aurora and Colorado to end a tax on diapers.
NewsBreak Denver's David Heitz reports the bill to end the tax on diapers would need to be approved twice by the entire City Council to become law. If approved, the bill would become law on Oct. 1, according to a staff report. Aurora City Council ended the tax on diapers in April, becoming the first city in Colorado to do so.
Thirty-three states tax diapers, with rates ranging from 1.5 to 7 percent, according to Baby2Baby, a group advocating for an end to diaper taxes across the nation.
The public can donate human milk and financial donations to families in need of assistance. Donations and purchases of human milk can be made anywhere in Colorado.
NewsBreak Denver's Brittany Anas reported DEN joins over 140 airports around the world that offer sunflower lanyards that discreetly signal a traveler has a hidden disability. DEN team members are signaled that a person wearing the lanyard has a hidden disability and may need extra help getting through security, to gates and through baggage claim.
Examples of hidden disabilities include dementia, autism, hearing loss, brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, speech difficulties, visual limitations, general aging-related decline, asthma, COPD, chronic illnesses and more.
