During a recent government meeting, Council Member Brooks revisited a motion from the previous session that directed the town attorney's office to explore legal avenues to compel Denver to halt its newcomer program, which has been affecting communities across the Front Range. This motion, which received unanimous support, reflects growing concerns among local officials regarding the implications of Denver's policies on surrounding areas.

Brooks shared feedback from a Denver resident who expressed gratitude for the council's initiative, noting that their own city council has been unresponsive to community concerns. The resident criticized their local representatives for failing to address pressing issues related to the newcomer program, highlighting a disconnect between city officials and constituents.

The discussion underscores the ongoing challenges faced by municipalities in managing the impacts of urban policies and the importance of responsive governance in addressing community needs.
