Clinton Offers (peace Treaty) To N.korea

After years of controversy over Park Hill Golf Course, the vast piece of undeveloped land in northeast Denver is set to open to the public as a park this summer under the terms of a deal announced Wednesday by city officials. The city plans to acquire the 155-acre property from its owner, Westside Investment Partners, by trading the open space for a 145-acre, city-owned parcel in Adams County near Denver International Airport. Mayor Mike Johnston was set to announce the deal with Westside during a late morning news conference at the former golf course along with City Councilwoman Shontel Lewis and community leaders. The park would be one of the largest in the city and would be managed by Denver Parks and Recreation under the deal.

Uber alleges in a new lawsuit that two Colorado laws aiming to improve transparency for delivery and ride-hailing app drivers will violate its right to free speech. Senate Bill 75 and House Bill 1129, both passed and signed into law last year, mandate that ride-hailing and delivery companies like Uber, Lyft and DoorDash show their drivers how much a customer will be charged and detail how much will go to the driver, versus the company. “The acts do not just compel speech, they compel Uber to shout the state’s message,” according to the lawsuit, filed Saturday by San Francisco-based Uber Technologies. Parts of the laws also “compel Uber to express the state’s viewpoint that Uber does not sufficiently compensate its drivers, a controversial and inaccurate message Uber cannot be compelled to express without offending core First Amendment principles,” according to the lawsuit. Uber alleges that the information they’re required to disclose under one of the bills paints an incomplete picture of the company’s compensation structure by excluding information about tolls, fees and insurance costs. “If a ride costs $24 and a driver earns $16, without proper context it appears like Uber made $8 in revenue, but it is not that simple,” according to the lawsuit. Under SB-75, companies must also provide the distance of the ride when it’s offered to drivers.

Who has come out looking better: the future SecDef, or the intemperate senators who grilled him?

Yesterday’s confirmation hearing reminded me of when Tim Kaine, one of the nastier accusers of Pete Hegseth, came to visit me on a Sunday.

The Hegseth confirmation hearing left Dems with egg on their faces.

Californians need to get rid of their bad government. But will they?
