Report from Hicks & Associates on the opening day of the 71st Colorado General Assembly, which convened Wednesday, January 11, 2017.
After a short break after the seemingly never-ending election season to enjoy the holidays, the 71st Colorado General Assembly convened on Wednesday amid the usual pomp and circumstance.

In her speech, she made note of her priority policy areas, to include transportation, education funding, and affordable housing.

 Landscape companies doing business in Fort Collins are now subject to the Fugitive Dust Ordinance, which became effective November 1, 2016. According to Zak George, Zak George Landscaping, LLC, who attended city meetings throughout the two-year process of developing the ordinance, “A lot of the ordinance is common sense.
