The clock is ticking for the Kelly Parcel, a 640-acre plot adjacent to the Grand Teton National Park’s southern boundary. Wyoming state land commissioners are pressured to sell land, which resulted in the Kelly Parcel being put up for public auction last year. The pressure comes from a constitutional agreement that many Western states made that requires the states to raise money from public lands. Revenue is typically generated by leasing the land for grazing, recreation, or selling of the land. The Kelly Parcel only raises around $2,800 annually; the minuscule income has prompted the Wyoming land commissioners to find an alternative to bring in revenue from the land.

Migrants enrolled in the Denver Asylum Seekers Program won’t get cash benefits after all. The council amended a contract with Haven for Hope during the Safety, Housing, Education and Homelessness Committee meeting Wednesday. Instead of Haven of Hope providing migrants with cash assistance on debit cards, it will instead provide “culturally appropriate” food, if the change is approved by the full council.

Denver may revoke cash assistance for migrants

Fun facts about bull elk. They can weigh in at 700 to 1100 pounds. They’re fast. Topping out at 45 miles per hour, one source says, they “can even beat horses in short races.”. We’re not sure if that’s a tested truth, or a race track hypothesis. In...

Angry Aurorans and Denverites on social media poked fun at the news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It seemed to contradict comments made by Gov. Jared Polis, who said the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.

After spending two full days in Willamette Valley, it was time to head to downtown Portland for a little change of scenery. For those unfamiliar with Portland, it’s a vibrant area with a mix of attractions. For my book lovers, pay a visit to the largest independent bookstore in the world, Powell’s City of Books. Not only does it span an entire city block, but it has an extensive collection of new and used books. It’s an easy place to lose track of time. For my art enthusiasts, check out The Portland Art Museum, the oldest museum in the Pacific Northwest. It boasts an incredible collection of Native American artifacts, contemporary art, and some incredible rotating exhibitions. In fact, I am kicking myself for not making time to see the Monet to Matisse: French Moderns exhibit. If you don’t have time to spend at the museum, Portland is known for its vibrant public art scene. The downtown area is dotted with murals and sculptures, making it fun to explore on foot.
