Colorado Politics: I signed up to testify at the Jan. 10 meeting of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) commissioners because I felt strongly CPW mishandled the release of wolves into Grand County. I wasn’t there to argue against releasing wolves. I was there to call out what I saw as basic unfairness by CPW: they turned a simple legal requirement into a press event for the governor and his husband, giving both ringside seats, while not bothering to tell local elected officials a word about it.

Actually, it would be more accurate to say I tried to testify, because when I got to the part of my testimony where I mentioned ringside seats, Mr. Dallas May got agitated. After a little back and forth, after my repeatedly asking what rule I’d broken, Mr. May cut my mic and silenced me. When I tried to electronically “raise my hand,” someone kicked me out of the meeting.
