But now, she'll be feeding customers at the restaurant that's inside the High Plains Livestock Exchange on Highway 34.

Sonnenberg worked this past session to overturn House Bill 10-1195, part of the so called "dirty dozen" tax package of 2010.

Hose Bill 11-1005 repealed that tax, and Sonnenberg, Republican representative John Becker of Fort Morgan and Republican Senator Greg Brophy of Wray were all instrumental in getting the repeal passed. Sonnenberg was also Chair of the House Agriculture, Livestock and Natural Resources Committee.

Accused potty peeper may have spied at CU-Boulder
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Boulder police think a man accused of hiding in the tank of a portable toilet also spied on women in bathrooms in several businesses and at the University of Colorado.
Police say they have found peepholes in bathrooms at least four businesses and two buildings on the CU-Boulder campus. They believe 30-year-old Luke Ivan Chrisco used the peep holes to spy on women.
Chrisco faces charges of burglary, unlawful sexual contact and criminal invasion of privacy.
The Daily Camera reports he appeared in court Tuesday. He is being held in Boulder County jail on $250,000 bond.
Vail police arrested Chrisco on June 23 while investigating an unrelated complaint, saying he resembled the man accused of hiding in a toilet at a Boulder yoga festival June 17.

Camp fire believed to have sparked Colorado wildfire
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service says a fire in a canyon north of Boulder is believed to have started with a camp fire.
Spokeswoman Elsha Kirby said Tuesday there are no suspects. Fire managers said the fire is about 80 percent contained and restricted to about 60 acres in Lefthand Canyon.
Firefighters made progress Monday when temperatures cooled, but hotter weather and the area's steep, rocky terrain were challenges Tuesday.
About 50 people are fighting the fire and two helicopters and two single-engine air tankers are on hand if they're needed.
Residents of about 340 homes have been on standby to evacuate if the fire gets closer.
