From Councilwoman Judy Montero's weblog: "If you haven't registered yet to vote in the August 12 statewide primary elections, you still have a week to get registered - the deadline is next Monday, 5 p.m. July 14. You can register by mail using the Voter Registration Application Form (if you do, return the form to the Denver Elections Division, 3888 Mexico Ave., Denver CO 80210), or in person at the Elections Division, any Denver Motor Vehicle office, any Colorado Motor Vehicle office, or the Denver Department of Human Services."

Walter in Denver: "Gov. Ritter and others are supporting a ballot initiative to raise severance taxes on oil and gas extracted from Colorado. It's a $321 million tax hike, with most of the money going to higher education. It's a clever move to go after oil companies, which aren't the most popular businesses these days."

The Glenwood Springs Post-Independent cornered Mark Udall and Bob Schaffer in order to talk oil shale. From the article:
Udall and Schaffer spoke to the Glenwood Springs Post Independent late last month about oil shale and other energy-related issues affecting the Western Slope, including whether communities in the area should receive a larger share of revenues generated by energy development. Both men expect the issues surrounding oil shale to play a role in this year's U.S. Senate race, especially as gas prices continue to surge higher and higher. That's because the Bureau of Land Management estimates that the amount of oil locked up in federal shale reserves in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah has more than 50 times the country's proven conventional oil reserves and nearly five times the proven reserves of Saudi Arabia. "I would ask the president not to play politics with oil shale, but listen to the people of western Colorado who have to live with the consequence of irresponsible oil shale development," Udall said. Schaffer said the demand nationally and internationally is growing, and Coloradans sit on top of a vast resource, and "that demand is going to drive lots of controversy."
