Zornio: State Sen. Faith Winter’s bike crash is more proof that we must do more to keep Colorado cyclists safe from motorists
Colorado pedestrians and cyclists are being injured or killed by motorists at alarming rates, and more needs to be done to solve it
Zornio: Colorado’s outdoors is becoming a haven for the rich, but it doesn’t have to be
Inflated parking, campground, trail and activity fees are making outdoor recreation more difficult for the average family
Zornio: Lauren Boebert is a train wreck, but the sexism against her has got to stop
There are a million and one reasons why Boebert isn’t fit to be a congresswoman. Her gender isn’t one of them.
Zornio: School is back in session and so is COVID-19. Should kids be masking up again?
As COVID-19 evolves, we must, too. But what does healthy prevention look like several years after the virus has emerged?
Zornio: Gas prices are rising, and that’s (mostly) a good thing
Paying higher prices for gas is a necessary evil, but it matters a lot who pays more and where that money goes
Zornio: Oil and gas are not the future of Colorado, so plan accordingly
As a slew of new regulations seek to move the state beyond fossil fuels, those in oil and gas operations should plan their exit now
Zornio: Expanding Peña Boulevard isn’t the answer. Modernizing Denver’s airport is.
Denver International Airport officials have proposed expanding roads to ease your drive to DIA, but a better solution is to bring DIA to you
Zornio: HOAs are too powerful. They should not be allowed to foreclose on Colorado homes.
Colorado lawmakers should limit HOA power and authority, but HOA board members also shouldn’t steal their neighbor’s houses
Zornio: For women, men are among the most dangerous backcountry predators
A string of recent sexual predators on Colorado trails reminds us that women must prepare for more than bears and mountain lions in the wild
