The local coalition that recently came together to protest the new oil/gas drilling site east of Niwot is not done yet.

It’s been less than a decade since the University of Colorado Boulder erected a controversial and costly expansion of its football stadium, but despite being in debt with the campus and president’s office, the athletics department is conducting a survey about what improvements it wants to make next.

If you grow tired of reading the same few articles written by the same few reporters in the Colorado Daily and its corporate sister papers the Daily Camera, Denver Post and Longmont Times-Call — and you have become weary of the drivel in Rooster — there is an alternative.

Now that you´ve (almost) paid your tuition and fees, there may be things that feel like free services, and you should take full advantage of them.

A former researcher who says he left the Colorado School of Mines due to pressure from the oil and gas industry has now lost his university job in Wyoming after an industry association complained to his superiors about comments he made about fracking.

City of Boulder officials want to charge the Valmont cemetery association more than $1,000 for copies of test results and other documents related to the cleanup project in and around the cemetery parking lot.

While Longmont activists successfully landed a fracking ban question on the November ballot this week, one city council member hopes to put another initiative before the voters asking them how they would like to be taxed when the city loses a lawsuit over the ban.

This week, as local political activist Seth Brigham finally had his day in court regarding the city’s restraining order against him, new allegations about Boulder City Council members’ possible conflicts of interest have come to light. And council member KC Becker has responded to questions about her financial disclosure forms that Boulder Weekly raised last week.

The law has elicited protest from the immigrants’ rights community, which claims that it forces officers to resort to racial profiling when making the determination of whether to report someone to ICE.

The growing evidence that city officials have some serious problems disclosing information needed to avoid potential conflicts of interest, or at least the appearance of impropriety, only adds ammunition to claims by local critics who fear that some on council may be operating out of self interest or for the gain of their friends and business partners.
