Coloradoâs 23-year-old sex offender sentencing law is in the hands of the state Supreme Court, as the justices on Wednesday considered whether the court should strike down a common method of sentencing those defendants charged with felony sex crimes.
The Denver District Attorneyâs Office appealed a pair of cases to the court following the 2019 decision of Allman v. People
, in which the justices barred people from receiving both prison terms and probation when they are convicted of multiple offenses in a single case. The court reasoned that probation should take place instead of imprisonment, not in addition to it.Â

Letter: MSU Moorhead celebrates Women in Construction Week
The stereotypes of women in construction are old, tired and mostly inaccurate. At MSUM, we focus on the business side of construction and train mangers to lead myriad projects in the industry, a field where women are welcomed and encouraged to use their skills and perspectives.

This week, Minnesota State University Moorhead, along with businesses and organizations across the construction industry, recognizes women making an impact during Women in Construction Week.
The stereotypes of women in construction are old, tired and mostly inaccurate. At MSUM, we focus on the business side of construction and train mangers to lead myriad projects in the industry, a field where women are welcomed and encouraged to use their skills and perspectives.
In 1920, the champions of the Women’s Suffrage Movement made history with the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Since then, women across our state and country continue to change the world. In fact, a record number of women were elected to Congress on the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment last year. This Women’s History Month, women in positions of authority and leadership reflect on the trailblazers and mountain movers who came before us.
No one had a greater impact on the American suffrage movement than Susan B. Anthony. An abolitionist, Republican, and lifelong suffragette, Anthony stood tall in the face of fierce opposition. In her life, she saw the abolition of slavery and the early successes of the women’s rights movement she helped lead. By the end of her life, she received the heroine status she deserved and celebrated her birthday in the White House with Republican President William McKinley.
