But local agencies have fewer resources to communicate and serious local policy rarely makes the news.

A 2026 city council policy/programs update for Boulder, CO:
One of the main ways Boulder city council legislates is by meeting once every 2 years to create a short list of workplan priorities.
For 2026 it’s only a 1-year process as we transition to even year elections (good for turnout, yay!).

To target Jewish families celebrating Hanukkah is an act of hate that must be named clearly and rejected completely.
