A 42-year-old Adams County man has pleaded guilty to threatening Gov. Jared Polis and an Adams County prosecutor by voicemail earlier this year.Jeromie Rose pleaded guilty to retaliation against an elected official and retaliation against a prosecutor, the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said in a Monday news release. He received four years of probation in each case, which will run concurrently.“Public service is an honor that comes with certain sacrifices, but personal safety is not one of them,” said Brian Mason, the 17th Judicial DA, in a statement. “The defendant’s actions here were not only outrageous, they were dangerous and they were criminal.

Public discourse is often fraught, particularly today, but threatening or perpetrating violence is never acceptable.

(University of Colorado Athletics)Throughout Colorado’s preseason camp, it became routine to see a No. 4 white jersey leaping over defensive backs to make catches.Javon Antonio needed a little bit of a time to adjust to the altitude in Boulder, but once he did, he shined.CU will open the 2023 football season on Saturday at TCU (10 a.m. MT, Fox), with Antonio being among the many intriguing play-makers on offense.“He’s a presence,” offensive coordinator Sean Lewis said. “He’s a big body kid that can run.

Just as high healthcare costs have prompted millions of Americans to forgo health insurance, now some homeowners are skipping home coverage because of rising premiums.The national average for home insurance has risen 20% this year to just over $1,400. Obviously, you can pay a whole lot more in well-heeled places like Southern California.While lower-income homeowners blame high annual costs for ditching coverage, wealthier people say they have enough cash on hand to handle rebuilding, so there's no need to pay a monthly insurance fee.That's bad thinking."It is a risky proposition to go without home insurance, and you need to fully understand the financial consequences if you lose your home," Noah Damsky, a financial adviser in Los Angeles, told the Wall Street Journal.Forgoing home insurance is literally playing with fire.If your residence burns down, you might lose not just your home and all your possessions, but you'll also be on the hook for carting away your home's remains.
