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 disciple 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.

For three decades, Colorado politicians have been trying to fix the broken school funding formula. It was inequitable, underfunded and resulted in poor school districts and affluent ones being pitted against each other. On Thursday, Gov. Jared Polis signed a school finance act that finally changes the formula, using $80 million from the state’s education reserves to keep school districts whole and end a 30-year dispute over how to fix the formula without creating winners and losers. The Denver Post documented just how broken the school finance formula was in 2019 by heading to southern Colorado where two rural school districts were separated by only a few miles, but one district had $5,000 less per student than the other.

MORRISON — In its first two weeks, the Town of Morrison’s new automated radar camera issued more than 10,000 tickets to speeding drivers, according to Morrison Police Chief Bill Vinelli. The camera is permanently stationed at Bear Creek Avenue and Mount Vernon Avenue. With a posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour along Bear Creek Avenue, the eastbound camera automatically captures the license plate of drivers going 35 mph or more. Tickets are then mailed directly to drivers. The camera will still take a picture of drivers caught going 34 mph, but they will not be issued tickets. Read the full story at Denver7.com.
