The Pandemic
This has been a painful year for all Coloradans and a challenging one for Governor Jared Polis, who set out to walk a narrow path between shutting down the state for maximum safety and allowing variances for maximum flexibility in aiding businesses and other organizations. As the state exits 2020, the numbers are looking slightly better in Colorado and a lot better compared to much of the rest of the country. But there are some dreadful numbers, too: The state has lost thousands of lives to COVID-19, and massive revenue shortfalls on the local and state level will lead to strict cost-cutting measures in the months ahead.

PHOENIX The Arizona Supreme Court has agreed to decide the scope of immunity provided to state lawmakers.
Without comment the justices on Wednesday agreed to hear arguments by former House Speaker J.D. Mesnard that he cannot be sued by ousted state Rep. Don Shooter because he released an investigative report nearly three years ago concluding that the Yuma Republican was guilty of sexual harassment of others. Mesnard claims that falls within the sphere of legitimate legislative activity which generally immunizes legislators from legal action.
The court also has agreed to decide whether that sphere covers the separate decision by Mesnard, now a state senator representing Chandler, to issue a press release explaining his actions.
