Dr. Michael K. Dorsey and Maya Wheeler: "For a state with strong commitments to reducing landfill use and building a circular economy, PVC drinking water pipes are simply incompatible." #copolitics coloradopolitics.com/opinion/colora…

Paula Noonan: "When norms are turned inside out to fire up chaos and when laws are broken to achieve dubious goals, the nation pulls apart. Trump is tempting disaster as he brazenly crosses lines established to preserve safety and national unity." coloradopolitics.com/opinion/trump-…
