Statement from President Joe Biden on Protecting One Million Pensions: “Today, we mark a major milestone: Thanks to my American Rescue Plan, we have protected one million pensions from devastating cuts. Whether it is Social Security, Medicare, or pensions, workers who earn a dignified retirement through decades of hard work and sacrifice should never see their benefits cut due to broken promises or policies that favor the wealthy over working families.”
Colorado Governor
The State of Colorado announced plans on behalf of the Boulder Convention and Visitors Bureau (Visit Boulder) and a regional coalition of partners, including the City of Boulder, the Boulder Chamber, the University of Colorado Boulder and the Stanley Film Center, to submit a proposal to host the Sundance Film Festival in Boulder, Colorado starting in 2027. “The Sundance Film Festival has a deep history in the Mountain West, and we can think of no better home for its next act than Colorado. With the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop and our deep commitment to the arts, we can help the Festival achieve even greater success while preserving what makes it special, building on Colorado’s iconic creative brand and our strong arts community,” said Gov. Jared Polis.
Denver Mayor
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, joined by Amy Ford, Executive Director of Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) and partner organizations, announced a new pilot program to increase safety in Denver by addressing speeding on high-risk streets to reduce traffic fatalities. The city will focus on corridors that make up the city’s high injury network – the streets where most serious and fatal injury crashes are occurring – with targeted actions aimed at reducing fatalities as Denver moves toward its goal of zero fatalities by 2030. “Building a safe and vibrant Denver means improving traffic safety by reducing speeds on Denver roads,” said Mayor Mike Johnston.
