@BoulderRL Can the reporter independently verify the cost of portapotties? The cost quoted by staff seems outrageous compared to the prices I was quoted a couple years ago when looking into these costs.

“It’s a hard, intractable issue." Many public restrooms have been locked shut for months largely due to vandalism. As part of a strategy to address the impacts of homeless encampments, some city councilmembers want more portable toilets across downtown. boulderreportinglab.org/2022/09/28/in-…

There’s been talk of floodplains and flood mitigation, of traffic congestion and housing shortages, but the question for many hanging over the CU South annexation is: Why is that land CU’s to begin with? A trek down local history lane, by Tim Drugan. 👇 boulderreportinglab.org/2022/09/22/dec…

The Boulder City Council has so far declined to make the relatively minor tweak to the ballot's title at this late stage, @HerrickJohnny reports, out of concern for legal action. Not changing the language, however, could prompt the very outcome the city has sought to avoid.

A new policy from local compost hauler Western Disposal is cracking down on non-compostable items in curbside residential bins, a problem it says is "threatening the program's very existence." boulderreportinglab.org/2022/08/05/col…

My latest on the local history beat for @BoulderRL explores a struggle for equality among Boulder County Latinos that began at a city swimming pool in July 1934 and ended at the state supreme court

After being denied entry to the Lafayette swimming pool in 1934, Rose Lueras banded together with other local Latinos in a fight for civil rights that would echo through the ages. The latest in our local history beat, sponsored by @compriseagency. 👇 boulderreportinglab.org/2022/07/27/mus…

In 2020, under mounting pressure, BVSD reformed its discipline policy to address disparities. What's happened since? @Herrickjohnny analyzed district data to find out. He also compared BVSD to Colo's similarly sized districts. Here's what he learned 1/ boulderreportinglab.org/2022/07/18/bou…

In this story, Boulder's police chief is quoted at this week's police town hall urging attendees to demand the Daily Camera publish daily crime data, aka the police blotter or logs. We @BoulderRL heard from the community, too, about this as a result. 1/ boulderreportinglab.org/2022/07/13/bou…

Some of the corrections officers that are left are working multiple 16-hour shifts a week. It's dangerous, they said. "When everybody there is just tired, we’re not doing the job the way we should be doing the job,” one officer said. denverpost.com/2022/07/05/col…
