Opinion: 40 cattle in Meeker killed by wolves? They probably died from disease.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:39:05 GMT

The return of wolves to the West has always been contentious, and the deaths last fall of more than 40 cattle in western Colorado alarmed ranchers. But here’s the true story: Wolves did not kill those cattle found dead near Meeker.After months of investigation, the state agency, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, found no evidence of wolves in the area at all.Yet when the news of the cattle deaths went public last October, the agency issued a press release stating it was “investigating a report of dead domestic cow calves on White River National Forest lands near Meeker that show damage consistent with wolf depredation.”A month later, the agency’s Northwest regional manager testified before the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission that though some of the cattle had injuries that appeared to come from wolves, he added: “It’s perplexing; it’s confusing; it’s frustrating, trying to figure out exactly what occurred in this incident.” The story of wolves as the culprits, however, made nation...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:39:05 GMT

Denver’s next mayor could be a businessman whose household brought in $1 million-plus in 2021 or a retiree who reported no income that year.The job also could be filled by any of the several candidates who reported six-figure incomes over the past five tax years from a variety of sources: banking, entrepreneurship or serving as chief executives.Whoever wins will earn nearly $190,000 a year — or possibly more, after the City Council adjusts officials’ salaries in coming weeks — to lead a city of 711,000 people and a municipal government with more than 14,000 workers.The Denver Post asked each of the 17 candidates on the ballot for copies of their tax returns for 2017 through 2021. Eleven agreed, though a representative for one didn’t follow through by The Post’s deadline. Another provided viewing access to the documents, but not copies.The documents do not show the candidates’ total assets, only reported income and related snapshots of their finances; sometime...

Colorado customers of failed Silicon Valley Bank scrambling to find new lenders

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:39:05 GMT

Colorado’s technology companies relied heavily on Silicon Valley Bank, and the federal government’s decision over the weekend to guarantee uninsured deposits after a takeover on Friday avoided a wider financial crisis by allowing the bank’s customers to access their money to meet payroll and other expenses.Regulators, however, were unable to find another bank willing and able to take on SVB’s loan portfolio, leaving many borrowers scrambling to line up new creditors, who themselves are struggling with the rapid rise in interest rates that contributed to the failure of three banks this month.“They need their credit facility in place and that is creating problems. The government will not be a lender. The FDIC can’t do that,” said George Singer, a partner in Denver with the law firm Holland & Hart while discussing the non-stop stream of calls he has been receiving from Colorado clients.The most pressing worry initially was about paying bills afte...
