GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Gov. Jared Polis scrapped his $28.5M pedestrian bridge plan to the Capitol after over 94% of more than 87,000 survey respondents rejected the project—only 3.8% voted in favor. He said the $8M already spent on the project will help shift focus to plans celebrating Colorado’s 150th anniversary next year. Denver7
- ➤ The City of Denver is awarding $11M in grants through the Healthy Food for Denver’s Kids program to help groups feed low-income and at-risk children, and the program has given nearly $100M to local groups that run mobile food pantries+ school meal programs since 2019. This support will let these programs expand services and improve access to fresh food for families in need. Denver7
- ➤ Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser sued Mesa County deputy Alexander Zwinck for sharing a 19 year old nursing student’s details with federal immigration officials on June 5—a move that broke state law.

HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment confirmed the season's first West Nile virus cases in two Adams County residents; one reported neurologic symptoms but neither was hospitalized.

- ➤ Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains said that Medicaid patients still will not receive care at its clinics after a federal court partially blocked cuts to Medicaid payments while a law signed July 4 took effect immediately.
