Monthly Recap: April

Louviers Water Achievement, Settlement Offered To Commissioners

Happy May and a belated monthly recap from The Lantern!

I want to start with suggested reading. Louviers Water District reached a major milestone in its journey to improved water quality. Meanwhile, former county commissioner Lora Thomas, Rep. Bob Marshall, and Julie Gooden dispatched a settlement offer to the Board of County Commissioners after the Commissioners were found to have violated Colorado’s Open Meeting Laws when they initiated their Home Rule election last year.

The Lantern is doing very well heading into summer! We will soon announce a new addition to the writing team, we picked up our publishing pace to be more in-line with what we want it to be, and we’re working on stories and series that add a tremendous amount of value to the community discourse.

We are staggeringly close to celebrating our first anniversary and as we head into our second year it’s clear we are going to focus on county government, water, education, metro districts, and human interest stories that have a difficult time gaining traction with larger channels. Have an idea, tip, or want to write a guest piece? Email me at editor@dougcolantern.org.
