WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris is announcing a plan to give Black men more economic opportunities and other chances to thrive as she works to energize a key voting bloc that has Democrats concerned about a lack of enthusiasm. Harris’ plan includes providing forgivable business loans for Black entrepreneurs, creating more apprenticeships and studying sickle cell and other diseases that disproportionately affect African American men. Harris already has said she supports legalizing marijuana and her plan calls for working to ensure that Black men have opportunities to participate as a “national cannabis industry takes shape.” She also is calling for better regulating cryptocurrency to protect Black men and others who invest in digital assets. The vice president’s so-called “opportunity agenda for Black men” is meant to invigorate African American males at a moment when there are fears some may sit out the election rather than vote for Harris or her opponent, Republican former President Donald Trump. The vice president unveiled the plan ahead of a Monday visit to Erie, Pennsylvania, where she will visit a Black-owned small business and hold a campaign rally.

Denver voters have another hefty ballot on their hands in the November election: Three double-sided pages await them in envelopes that began arriving over the weekend. Beyond school district matters, statewide amendments and propositions, congressional races and the U. S. presidency, Denver voters have nine citywide ballot questions that would change municipal code or the city charter. That bundle is substantial enough that the Denver Office of the Denver Clerk and Recorder this year decided to save the city $200,000 by mailing out a ballot information booklet that contains details only about measures with tax implications, as required by state law. Some voters have grumbled about that decision.

It’s those other barnacles, also known as Americans.
