Well stated as always. A classic shift and shaft. These gyrations and hocus pocus would make Houdini blush. A partnership reset under the Gold Dome can’t come soon enough IMO

After 4 years of vilifying municipalities and local participatory democracy, look who is actually making the affordable housing crisis worse - with voter-approved money! 👀👎🏻💸 #NoMoneyNoMandates #PartnershipNotPreemption coloradosun.com/2026/04/09/pro… via @coloradosun

Eastern Plains wind farms, likely around Burlington and Cheyenne Wells. My 7th year retired, missing those small town elected officials out on the Plains. If you’re looking for common sense, good governance spend time with these folks. A lot more there than under the Gold Dome.

In Colorado, #HomeRule still matters - and it's in the constitution. @CO_Municipal continues to seek #PartnershipNotPreemption and hopes the administration will cease heavy-handed, DC-style policy. And new for 2026, given the state's fiscal issues, #NoMoneyNoMandates.

Polis asks Buc-ee’s to halt expansion plans near ‘consequential conservation’ area in Colorado denvergazette.com/2025/09/17/pol… Our two Senators have deep roots in city government and respect local decision making. Disappointing. Our Governor, not so much, if at all👎

Sam Mamet@SamMamet·15 Ağu

The Governor’s authority appears questionable, and I would hope #coleg asks some hard questions about executive branch overreach and lack of rulemaking standards. Hardly a positive legacy👎

Colorado Municipal League@CO_Municipal

Gov. Polis’ executive order could block CO towns & cities from 34 grant programs without legislative approval. CML is reviewing, engaging leaders, and defending local governments’ access to funding. Read more here: bit.ly/3Hop42w #Colorado #LocalGov

Ken was truly amazing. We were colleagues for 27 years until his 2005 retirement. Caring, ethical, focused, and devoted to city and town leaders as well as his own wonderful family, especially Bernice. May his memory be a blessing♥️🙏

Colorado Municipal League@CO_Municipal

CML is mourning the loss of a great leader. Former CML executive director Ken Bueche passed away on Wed. CO municipalities better of thanks to Ken's commitment to home rule, local control, & partnership with the state. ❤️💪 horancares.com/obituaries/ken…

Appreciate this ongoing honor, two outstanding municipal leaders recognized this year. Town clerks are the backbone of small communities. @BuenaVistaCO Paula Barnett👏@CityWheatRidge Mayor Starker a friend for years. A quiet leader who listens and is listened to🎉👍#cml25

Congress overrules w impunity DC’s home rule authority and #coleg does the same to municipal home rule which is in the state constitution, both are wrong and and deserve more scrutiny like this @emamet research

Princeton School of Public & International Affairs@PrincetonSPIA

Postdoctoral research associate @emamet demonstrates how Washington D.C. is “disenfranchised in multiple ways: voteless in the House, voiceless in the Senate, and without full local self-government” in a new Perspectives on Politics paper. spia.princeton.edu/news/research-…

@PrincetonSPIA @emamet Home rule takes on many nuances, and what the Congress consistently does to the District of Columbia is akin to what many state legislatures do in thumbing their nose at home rule, even when it is imbedded in a state’s constitution. #coleg is a prime and consistent example

Amid ongoing debates about Washington, D.C.'s autonomy, I have a new article out arguing that democratic equality for D.C. is only possible via statehood. @PoPpublicsphere

I hope #coleg respects good local governance this session as it is practiced among Arapahoe County’s local leaders, as well as throughout CO. So many former city/town leaders under the Gold Dome, please remember your roots.

Kevin Bommer@k_bomb

It was my pleasure to be there to talk about all the ways local governments must continue to hang together and all the opportunities for #coleg and @GovofCO to choose #PartnershipNotPreemption.

Arapahoe County@ArapahoeCounty

Effective governance requires strong collaboration and that was on full display at last week’s Arapahoe County Mayors, Managers and Commissioners Meeting, where elected officials heard updates from @COcounties and @CO_Municipal on issues to work on together at the state capitol.
