Smoke from enormous wildfires in Canada last summer sent choking clouds of smoke over much of the nation, including Colorado.

On May 20, 2023, the Colorado Department of Health and Environment issued an air quality health advisory for Northeast Colorado.

Denver, for a time, registered in the top-five worst air quality ratings in the world due to the smoke, according to IQAir, “the world's largest free real-time air quality information platform.”

A bill proposed by U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse — which is set to be considered by the U.S. House of Representatives — could provide greater certainty around plans to use an 8-acre U.S. Forest Service administrative site in Steamboat Springs to construct workforce housing.

The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded $4.9 million to Boulder County to increase public access to electric vehicle charging stations.

The county plans to extend stations to areas it determines have the greatest need, such as rural areas, mobile home communities and neighborhoods heavily populated with apartments and condos.

More than two dozen lawmakers called on House leadership Friday to bring a bill banning members of Congress from participating in the stock market to the floor for a vote.

“This is a critical step to ensure Members of Congress are working for their constituents, not themselves,” the group wrote in a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and the top members of the House Administration Committee.
