Colorado's rural coop customers may or may not have to pay more

Colorado's rural coop customers may or may not have to pay more. A bill that would dramatically raise renewable energy requirements for the electric association has cleared a hurdle in the state House. The bill requires the electricity co-ops to get 25 percent of their energy from renewable sources by 2020, up from 10 percent, and limits consumer rate hikes to pay for the renewable energy upgrade to 2 percent. But the co-ops affected warn it would drive up prices for mostly rural customers. The bill also expands the definition of renewable energy to include coal-mine methane and gas produced from solid waste. The measure previously passed the Senate by a single vote, despite opposition from all Republicans and two Democrats. The bill passed a House committee 8-5 Wednesday.

Victims of sexual assault were feeling the love

Victims of sexual assault were feeling the love. Chanting, "Victims no more! Take Back the night!" a small group of area residents marched from City Hall through downtown Fort Morgan to City Park Friday night, in protest of sexual abuse. Several survivors addressed the crowd, and made available, help for victims and their families. Victims wanting to talk about being sexually assaulted or how to handle it if they knew someone who had been assaulted, were encouraged to call Sexual Assault Response Advocates, or stop by the S.A.R.A. office in Fort Morgan. Police say more than 200 domestic violence incidents and sexual assaults were reported locally last year, but added, many more cases go undiscovered.
