MINNEAPOLIS - State employees could start to receive layoff notices in the coming weeks if Minnesota lawmakers don't convene for a special session and pass a budget soon. The state faces a partial government shutdown if legislators don't pass a new two-year budget before July 1. Layoff notices could go out before then since state employee contracts require at least 21 days' notice, and at least 30 days "whenever practicable."Copyright 2025 Tribune Content Agency.

Cities of a certain size in Colorado have to allow more density, because of a suite of new state development mandates.

Historically, local governments in Colorado and across the nation have had domain over the rules that shape their growth, so at the heart of this conflict are objections over the loss of local control.

Remember when Regional Transportation District A Line trains blew their horns for years as they sped between downtown and the airport? Well, as many Denverites in Cole, Clayton and other nearby neighborhoods have probably noticed in recent weeks, the horns came back. “The community has been pretty quiet, fairly patient, I think,” RTD board member Michael Guzman, who represents the area, said at a board meeting Tuesday night.
