The Supreme Court is skeptical of a Colorado law:

Even after defendants have their criminal convictions overturned in Colorado, they have to file separate civil suits and prove their innocence in order to get fines and other money back. The U.S. Supreme Court justices were not particularly into that idea. Expect a ruling later. (NYT)

This is life undocumented:

These seven undocumented immigrants have launched their professional lives in the four years since Obama granted people like them work authorization and protection from deportation. Now it's all at risk. (Denverite)

New arts activists:

Amplify Arts Denver is hosting a forum tonight to talk about its goals and hear from the DIY community. It's from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at RedLine Contemporary Art Center, 2350 Arapahoe Street, with free pizza. (Westword)

G Line delayed again:

RTD will ask next month for yet more time to fix the A Line's problems. Those same problems are keeping the G Line to Wheat Ridge and Arvada from opening. (DP)

Furthermore, safety testing on the G Line will take another 45 days even after the A and B lines are totally fixed. So, it could be a while. (JeffCo)
