From The Denver Post:
- On today’s front page: A new Army report tells us that Fort Carson soldiers linked to killings back home were likely to have experienced intense battle in the war zone. Jeffco has shelled out nearly $50,000 to pay off-duty cops to keep drivers from going postal over high vehicle-registration fees. Pet Airways lands in Broomfield on day two of its maiden cross-county flight. (Not quite the inaugural flight Post headline writers would have us believe it was, but close counts, right?) And speaking of close, hospitals and officials are keeping a closer eye on things since the hep C scare. And, bankruptcies are all the rage in Colorado this year.
