In my limited time covering Denver’s City Council, I’ve never seen the chamber this full. It’s a big night as the council is deciding whether to spend $70 million on a stadium for the city’s new women’s pro soccer team. #denver

A moment for the Capitol press corps. These folks are some of the finest journalists and overall people I’ve ever met. I leaned on them a lot over the past 2 years and am eternally grateful to each of them. It’s a tough beat and they do a fantastic job. CO is lucky to have them.

Well folks, with a new year comes a big change for me! After 2 years, I’m no longer covering the Colorado Capitol. From when I started with @coloradosun.com to the past year with Swift’s Western Slope papers, it’s been a blast (mostly)! I’ve learned a ton and met some amazing people.
