NEWS: Jann Scott’s Podcast, Rep Joe Neguse fight for rights,
Jul 22nd
Our Jann Scotts Latest Podcast on Sex addiction, and the Epstein Files . How it affects us all.
Congressman Joe Neguse It was another chaotic few days in Washington last week as House Republicans pushed for a vote to cut funding — already approved by Congress — for public radio stations in rural America, critical national security programs, and more. These rescissions are reckless and will have a devastating impact for the country, and I was proud to work late into the night on Thursday to push back against this effort.
Banning Stock Trading
As part of a larger effort I’ve been leading to end corruption in Washington D.C., including banning Members of Congress from trading stocks and strengthening anti-corruption laws, last week I introduced a bill with my colleague Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to impose a lifetime ban on former Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists and strengthening lobbying transparency law.
Funding cut for NPR and PBS It was another chaotic few days in Washington last week as House Republicans pushed for a vote to cut funding — already approved by Congress — for public radio stations in rural America, critical national security programs, and more. These rescissions are reckless and will have a devastating impact for the country, and I was proud to work late into the night on Thursday to push back against this effort.

Boulder Prescribe burn continues Friday
May 5th
City to continue a prescribed agricultural burn east of Boulder today
Boulder, Colo. – Boulder Fire-Rescue, in collaboration with Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) and the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, plans to continue its prescribed agricultural burn on city-managed open space
northeast of Boulder near Highway 119 and Highway 52. The agricultural burn will occur between 10:00 a.m. and 4 p.m. This is the same general area that was burned yesterday, May 2, across from IBM. The burn yesterday went well, and the team hopes to complete the agricultural ditch burn today, May 3.
Should conditions allow burning to occur, you may see smoke in the area. All burning will be supervised and monitored by Boulder Fire-Rescue. Please do not call 911 for smoke from this burn today.
As a reminder, Boulder and our partner agencies schedule prescribed burns with significant consideration of multiple requirements. When the city implements a prescribed burn, firefighters trained in the preparation, lighting and supervision of prescribed fires will manage a team of wildland firefighter-certified staff to confine and contain the burn.

Boulder Soda Tax 2019 Health Equity Fund awards
Dec 6th
Do you know Boulder has hungry people. Here is a way we try to feed them
The City of Boulder has announced funding awards for 40 programs promoting health equity for city residents who are low-income or otherwise experiencing health disparities. Funded programs will address health promotion, general wellness and chronic disease prevention for at-risk populations.
During its Dec. 4 meeting, the Boulder City Council approved disbursement of $4,648,702.72 in total funding for 2019, through the Health Equity Fund (HEF), a community funding program created with revenues collected from the Sugar Sweetened Beverage Product Distribution Tax (SSB Tax). Program activities will include distribution of healthy and fresh foods, physical fitness, nutrition and wellness education, direct health services, increasing access to child care, health care and other services related to health improvement.
The city coordinates annual competitive HEF fund rounds where agencies can apply for funding for programs that meet the tax legislative intent and other HEF criteria. The Health Equity Advisory Committee, which includes a diverse group of community members, review applications and make funding allocation recommendations to the city.
In November 2018, city voters approved ballot measure 2D, allowing the city to retain all SSB Tax revenue for the HEF. Any revenue that is not allocated through the fund round will carry over for allocation for future funding opportunities.
The list of 2019 HEF funding allocations is available on the HEF website. For more information, please contact Elizabeth Crowe, Health Equity Fund program manager at 303-441-1928 or crowee@bouldercolorado.gov.
