Comment on Woman who accused Bill Clinton of sex assault joins anti-Hillary campaign headed by ex-Trump advisor

Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill into law Monday that officially eliminates most restrictions on how many unrelated roommates can live together in Colorado. House Bill 1007 prohibits local governments from enacting occupancy limits, which Polis and other critics of the policy have derided as discriminatory and outdated. Roughly two dozen Colorado cities have such restrictions on the books, though lawmakers said that only a few — including the college town of Fort Collins — actively enforce them. “This issue is both a housing issue and a civil rights issue,” Polis said during a bill-signing ceremony outside the Capitol.

With just over three weeks left in this year’s session of the Colorado General Assembly, lawmakers are starting in earnest to push through their preferred policies — and that urgency means bill schedules will become even more fluid. Major bills are still being introduced, and some — chiefly around property taxes and relief — are still expected in coming weeks.

The prospect of people with convictions for sex crimes living at the home brought out a large crowd in opposition at a community meeting earlier this month.

Someone like this has no business chairing an organization that receives even a penny of taxpayer money, let alone tens of millions annually.
