Deadly Dog Rescue
A woman who died after jumping into a Boulder County
irrigation ditch to rescue a dog has been identified as 31-year-old
Megan Davis of Longmont. Witnesses say Davis went after a dog that
fell into the fast-moving water of the Highland Ditch near Longmont
on yesterday. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office says her friends
pulled her from the water and performed CPR, but she could not
revived. The dog was rescued.
Udall Senate Immigration
Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and his Republican
challenger are butting head over immigration issues. Udall's
campaign released a statement today demanding that Rep. Cory Gardner
elaborate on his immigration stance. Gardner last week said he
favors citizenship for people here illegally who join the military
but wouldn't say who else should get citizenship. Udall's campaign
asked what the congressman would do for those service members' family
members if they are also here illegally. Gardner's campaign says
Udall voted for a bill in 2005 that would have made being in the U.S.
illegally a felony. Udall also voted for a Senate bill last year to
legalize many immigrants here illegally.
Denver Pot Tax
Denver officials are talking about how to spend
marijuana tax revenues. Mayor Michael Hancock's proposed spending
$3.35 million in marijuana tax revenues on business regulation and
public safety. The mayor's plan includes about $746,000 on youth and
public education about marijuana. That would include Denver's "Know
The Law" campaign on responsible pot use. The city has a 3.5%
tax on retail pot sales, on top of the state's 17.9% tax on
recreational pot.
