WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans on Thursday invited President Joe Biden to testify before Congress in what appears to be a last-ditch effort to deliver on their stalled monthslong impeachment inquiry into the Biden family businesses.
Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, sent a letter to the Democratic president, inviting him to sit for a public hearing to “explain, under oath,” what involvement he had in the Biden family businesses.
Growth is driving housing prices up and pushing locals out
Re: “Housing crisis: Build our way out?” March 24 commentary
Steve Pomerance’s excellent coverage of Colorado’s shortage of affordable housing and its related problems is clearly on target regarding population growth and affordable housing.
Due to population growth, I don’t believe that using taxpayer money to build affordable housing is a sustainable solution to what has become a long-standing problem. On the contrary, Colorado’s shortage of affordable housing is symptomatic of the far more pressing problem of the vast income inequalities created by relatively affluent newcomers moving into economically poor rural areas. This influx of affluent people has the unintended effect of economically displacing long-time residents whose family incomes and retirements pale in comparison.
Case in point: I recently helped a disabled neighbor who was months away from losing his home due to a projected 100% increase in his home property taxes and insurance payments.
The easiest bet to win is that gambling will assault the senses at sporting events and in broadcasts.

Odds are you know that Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter is being investigated by the NBA after questions surfaced following his early exits from games on Jan. 26 and March 20 because of an illness and eye injury, respectively.
At the NFL owners meeting earlier this week, Broncos head coach Sean Payton didn’t shy away from the possibility of moving up from the 12th overall pick in April’s draft.
“I think it’s realistic,” he said Monday in Orlando, Fla. “What’s hard to predict is what’s on the receiving end. We will pay close attention to it.”
The Broncos need a quarterback, and with four potentially getting drafted in the top five, Denver might have to get aggressive and move up to acquire one.
Two men were arrested on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder after a shooting at one of Denver’s hotel shelters, marking the shelter’s third person shot in less than two weeks.
Officers responded to reports of a shooting at a city shelter at 4040 North Quebec Street — formerly the DoubleTree by Hilton — at 11:40 p.m.
Metro Denver’s track record for listing homes at the correct price is so bad that an Austin-based real estate technology firm called True Footage is using it as the proving ground for GlassHouse, a new digital platform for buying and selling real estate.
A common problem in the real estate industry is that sellers have an overinflated sense of what their homes are worth, said John Liss, the founder and CEO of True Footage, which is launching GlassHouse next week in Denver, the first step in a larger rollout.
“Everybody thinks their house is the nicest one on the block and nobody wants to leave money on the table, so they try to sell for top dollar,” he said.
Agents willing to tell sellers what they want to hear are more likely to get listings than truth-tellers experienced enough to know that overpricing results in wasted time, frustration and a lower sales price down the road.
Denver is one of the worst markets when it comes to unrealistic listing prices, according to a True Footage analysis.
