THREAD: A Parker mom woke up this morning to find a huge surprise in her bank account. She got her full stimulus check, and another transaction, that’s putting her life on hold. @KDVR#stimuluspayment
So now her bank account looks like this. The #ProblemSolvers got in touch with BoA, and they’re investigating. It comes at a time where banks are dealing with thousands of requests related to people’s #Stimuluscheck. @KDVR
She’s tried calling the @IRSnews and BoA, but had no luck all day. Now reality is setting in: how is she going to pay bills, or buy groceries for her 3 kids when her account is -$869k? #Stimuluscheck
Great news! Bank of America put a hold on her account, seeing a large settlement check that came in from a car crash weeks before. The hold on her account came in right as she got her stimulus check. The hold on her account has been lifted! #ProblemSolved

Over the weekend hundreds partied at @CUBoulder with little social distancing or mask wearing. Students are calling for CU to go full remote before a major outbreak. @KDVR
A spokesperson for @bouldercohealth issued the following statement calling these gatherings “unacceptable and frankly unlawful.” So far the county health department hasn’t issued any warnings or fines to @CUBoulder.
So far @CUBoulder has found 16 positive #COVID19 cases through its medical services. This doesn’t include outside testing. They’re working on wastewater testing to be able to detect any community spread. @KDVR
Council now discussing ahead of a vote. Councilwoman Angela Lawson says she will NOT be voting for Wilson. She calls the process political. She supports Chief Wilson, but wanted Marcus Dudley to be the pick.
Councilwoman Bergan says she supports @APDChiefWilson, saying she truly cares about @AuroraGov and the residents, and is willing to make changes for accountability within @AuroraPD.
THREAD: Recently got these numbers from our #ProblemSolvers CORA request.
Since 2018, @DenverPolice has spent roughly $584,000 on less-than-lethal munitions. In 2020, the department spent more than 2X on these items than the previous two years combined. @KDVR
2/ According to Denver administrators, @DenverPolice doesn't budget for these items. DPD purchases them as needed, and the cost is absorbed in the budget as an expense. @KDVR
3/ As much as these expenses look large, as I previously reported, @DenverPolice spent more than $2.6 million in overtime covering the first few weeks of unrest through the #GeorgeFloyd protests downtown. @KDVR
