Michael Steele On The Election

Coloradans will soon have an easier time fixing their broken cell phones, gaming systems and other electronic devices under a “right-to-repair” law signed by the governor Tuesday that puts the state on the leading edge of a national movement. Under the new law, tech companies like Apple and Amazon will be required to provide software and physical tools to third-party repair shops and to individual consumers to fix cracked phone screens and malfunctioning equipment.

The director of the city agency tasked with screening recruits for the Denver police and fire departments on Tuesday accused Mayor Mike Johnston of pressuring that agency to lower its standards so the mayor can meet his promise to hire 167 new police officers this year. Niecy Murray is the executive director of the Denver Civil Service Commission, an independent city agency tasked with working hand-in-hand with an appointed board of five commissioners to set and apply standards for hiring, promotions and discipline within the ranks of the city’s police and fire departments. Originally a commission member appointed by then-Mayor Michael Hancock in 2018, Murray on Tuesday issued a news release in coordination with City Council members Shontel Lewis, Sarah Parady and Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez that directly accused Johnston of interfering in the commission’s work. The accusations include pressure to reduce standards for new police recruits seeking admittance to the department’s training academy, to the point of outright ignoring a psychological evaluation that would have disqualified an applicant from moving forward. “The public’s trust is placed in us to ensure standards for safety are being met,” Murray said during a brief news conference in front of the Denver City and County Building on Tuesday morning.
