NEW: @AdamsCoSheriff says it's done answering questions about the Sheriff livestreaming a pursuit. ACSO told @Marshall9News and @SteveStaeger to "spend time focusing on the great work being done by law enforcement officers" 9news.com/article/news/l…
@AdamsCoSheriff @Marshall9News @SteveStaeger A key unanswered question: Who was riding along with Adams County Sheriff Rick Reigenborn (D) and livestreaming the pursuit when the sheriff chose to continue giving chase when other officers called it off due to safety concerns?
Reigenborn, who is running for re-election this year, was too busy for an interview, according to spokesman Sgt. Adam Sherman.

NEW: Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters (R) was arrested this morning by Grand Junction Police. Officers were responding to a request to assist local prosecutors on an investigation. Peters was released on scene and charges are pending, per police. #copolitics
Officers were serving a warrant to seize Clerk Peters' iPad on which she is suspected of improperly recording a court hearing involving her deputy clerk Belinda Knisley after a judge prohibited recording in the courtroom. It's the white iPad in the courtroom image below. Image
Clerk Peters denied to the judge that she was recording the hearing but an arrest warrant says "the iPadOS “camera” application was open, distinguishable with the red record button" and that an observer "saw that the view in the viewfinder was a live view of the
courtroom"

NEW: DougCo's School Board president said today that Superintendent Corey Wise was fired, in part, for not quashing rumors that the board gutted the equity policy. Today, a PAC backing the conservative majority appeared on FOX News and praised them for gutting the equity policy.
Background: Last month, the newly-elected conservative majority on the DougCo school board recommended changes to an equity policy implemented by the prior progressive majority board. Educators within the district pushed back strongly. 9news.com/article/news/e…
Board President Mike Peterson told KOA Radio today that the equity policy remains "exactly intact." (That's correct. The changes are directed at a future date.) Peterson blamed Superintendent Corey Wise for not defending the board's decision on the equity policy.

DougCo School Board President Mike Peterson was live on conservative talk radio as students walked out protesting the superintendent’s firing. While the story led @KOAColorado newscasts while he was on, I don’t believe Peterson acknowledged the walkout and was not asked about it.
Peterson said on KOA that the reason the board majority was unable to articulate a reason for firing Superintendent Corey Wise was because they expected to do it privately in executive session. Wise exercised his right to have the discussion in open session.
Peterson made a passing mention of the student walkout that I initially missed. He tied the student walkout to the teachers union when saying that allowing the superintendent to remain would have been "giving in to the union."

NEW: DougCo School Board meeting where conservative board majority will likely get rid of Superintendent Corey Wise is off to a chaotic start. Board minority noted the public notice went out six minutes short of the required 24 hours. So now they're in recess...
There was a line out the door to get in. Opponents of the conservative board majority are wearing "Red for Ed" (also happens to be Go Red for Women's Heart Health Day if you were curious why so many local TV news people are in red, too)
DCSD general counsel Mary Kay Klimesh says it doesn't matter if the public didn't get 24 hours notice as long as board members show up at the meeting. And we're off...

There are Coloradans sleeping in cars on this subzero night. @HopeLongmont provides safe overnight parking, hot showers, warm meals, even pet care during the day as Coloradans living in cars work to afford first month's rent. You've raised $35k tonight: coloradogives.org/wordofthanksho… Image
@HopeLongmont The non-profit operates a traditional homeless shelter as well, but some Coloradans choose to stay in their cars, often because they have pets or worry about entering a shelter. HOPE tries to make that transitional period of car living as safe and comfortable as possible. Image
HOPE's leaders tell me 7 in 10 people they find living on Longmont's streets are able to get into housing. They say the SafeLot Safe Parking program is often used by people who moved out of housing to avoid having an eviction on their record but need time to save for new housing.
