From The Denver Post:
- On the front page: The Post leads today with a story based on information from an anonymous source that reveals this shocker: The scrub tech behind the Hep-C scare at Rose Medical Center was a bad employee. Two other health-care-related stories – with named sources this time – fill the rest of the real estate above the fold. Out of the blue, a fantasy author bequeaths $10 million to National Jewish Health (note to Post copy editors: It’s not called National Jewish Hospital any more). A Washington Post story reports gives the bean-counters’ take on national health-care proposals: too pricey. In print editions, an Indonesia hotel-blast teaser pairs visually with detail shot of a corn cob (the big news there, that sweet corn from Olathe is on its way, gets more play out front than yesterday’s bombings in Jakarta).
More headlines:
- State reviews new hospital’s plans to fix problems in wake of patient’s death.
- CSU leaders take please-give-us-money show on the road.
- A badly behaved Denver lawyer blames it on the judge.
- Protesters want better policing of police.
From Westword:
- Medical marijuana’s judgment day in Colorado?
Up and down the Front Range:
- Colorado Springs Gazette: A fun read tells us what campers really have to fear. Less fun is the news of 300 people rioting après-bar in Colorado Springs.
- Boulder Daily Camera: Organics heavy-hitters fight Frankencrops on Boulder County open space. Boyfriend in dog-tapping case pleads guilty.
- Longmont Times-Call: A train jumps the tracks north of Longmont.
