New law aims to spur trust between Colorado police and kids

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:31:36 GMT

Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill Thursday that puts guardrails on how law enforcement use deceptive tactics when questioning kids, the culmination of a two-year legislative push and ending fears that the governor may veto the proposal.The new law does not prohibit law enforcement from lying to kids during interrogations. But it does generally mean that any information — like confessions — gained that way can’t be used by prosecutors during subsequent trials. Supporters said the bill was a step toward building trust between the criminal justice system and the communities it impacts, while cutting down on the potential for false convictions of children.The law also requires law enforcement to record juveniles interrogations. Rep. Jennifer Bacon, a Denver Democrat who co-sponsored the bill, said Thursday it represented an opportunity “to reset and build community-driven pathways to our collective safety.”“How do we teach our kids? Why do we teach kids ...

Colorado judge’s threat to jail attorney prompts misconduct complaint

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:31:36 GMT

An Arapahoe County judge’s threat to throw an attorney in jail earlier this year prompted the lawyer to file a complaint with the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline, according to a copy of the document obtained by The Denver Post.Attorney Mark Cohen brought the complaint against 18th Judicial District Court Judge Peter Michaelson in April, after the judge told Cohen to bring a toothbrush to court so that he’d be more comfortable in jail, according to the complaint and a transcript of the hearing reviewed by The Post. Cohen alleges the judge’s comment was part of a larger pattern of rude and unprofessional behavior during a three-day civil trial in February.Complaints to the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline are confidential under the state constitution — though Colorado voters will have a chance to change that next year — and the leaked complaint in this case offers a rare look into the early stages of the state’s secretive judici...

S.F. and Oakland are eyeing big deficits. Why not San Jose?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:31:36 GMT

Some of the Bay Area’s largest cities are facing truly eye-popping budget deficits.San Francisco is projecting a $290 million shortfall. Oakland, short by $177 million, isn’t faring much better. But down south, the outlook is a bit sunnier. San Jose is reporting a $35.3 million surplus.Why such a divergence?Economists and budget officials attribute the disparity to San Francisco and Oakland’s heavy reliance on tax revenues that are still recovering sluggishly from the pandemic’s economic gut punch. The cities blame the down year on a mixture of poorly performing key revenue streams and the drying up of federal pandemic-related funding.San Jose, on the other hand, has come away generally unscathed by leaning on a tax base that’s largely weathered negative financial forces. Worth noting: The surplus in the FY2023-24 budget remains small when compared to its $5.2 billion total budget — less than 1%.“We’re in a positive position,” ci...

Editorial: Fix California’s misleading food expiration labels

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:31:36 GMT

Raise your hand if you fully understand the food expiration date labels in California’s grocery stores.That’s what we thought.Misleading and unclear expiration dates cause Americans to throw out massive quantities of food still safe to eat.The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that more than a third of the U.S. food supply is wasted, costing the average family of four an estimated $1,300 every year.  A 2013 study by the Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic and the Natural Resources Defense Council found that 25% of fresh water in the United States goes toward producing food that isn’t eaten, and 21% of the space in our landfills is packed with food waste.It’s time to stop this.In California, Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, proposes to mandate clear date labeling for food.No more “sell by” stamps, which are only provided to stores for restocking purposes. Rather than 50 different kinds of date labeling used to suggest to consumer...
