Sh*tstorm After Study Finds No Causal Link Between Marijuana, Homelessness

A new study about the impact of marijuana on Pueblo County maintains that there's no evidence linking cannabis legalization and the increase of homelessness in the area. This contention has been ripped by Pueblo Police Chief Troy Davenport, who strongly believes such a connection exists, as well as the authors of a Pueblo Chieftain editorial that dismissed these findings as "junk science." But one of the academics behind the document suggests that such critics would rather believe the sort of nonsense churned out by prohibitionists for decades than look at actual facts.

The announced purchase of Denver's Fox31 and CW2 by the controversial Sinclair Broadcast Group, which was memorably ripped by HBO's John Oliver for allegedly forcing its hard-right ideology on affiliates while attempting to build a conservative media empire capable of becoming a stealth Fox News, may not happen. Fresh reports suggest that in a bid to win FCC approval for its May 2017 purchase of 42 outlets owned by Tribune Media, Sinclair is on the cusp of selling ten of them, including the two Denver outlets, to 21st Century Fox and mogul Rupert Murdoch, who, in a surprising twist, suddenly looks to some observers like the lesser of two evils.

Did Hancock Throw Ex-Pal Under Bus to Save Himself in Sexy Text Scandal?

The fallout has been considerable in the wake of Denver Mayor Michael Hancock's apology for inappropriate texts sent to Denver police officer Leslie Branch-Wise. The latest example comes from an attorney representing Wayne McDonald, a former Hancock friend and onetime City of Denver employee who won a $200,000 settlement four years after filing a lawsuit over his 2012 firing, which had reportedly been prompted by "inappropriate comments" he'd made to Branch-Wise, then a part of the mayor's security team. According to the lawyer, Milwaukee-based William Sulton, corresponding via email, Hancock told untruths about McDonald after sacking him, and in alluding to him during his video apology to Branch-Wise, "Mayor Hancock caused the same false statements to be published about Mr. McDonald."
