After weeks of searching and trapping, a coyote has been found with human DNA on its paws and human food in its stomach, leading Colorado Parks and Wildlife to conclude that it is the animal that attacked a 4-year-old girl on Thanksgiving day. The find brings the pursuit of coyotes in the north Colorado Springs neighborhood to an end, however, the investigation into illegal wildlife feeding continues because the necropsy and DNA testing in a lab confirmed that there was human DNA deep between the coyote's toes. It also revealed that the animal had human food in its stomach. CPW says its first obligation is to protect human health and safety and that such predators cannot be allowed to attack children. CPW says this is exactly why they constantly preach about the dangers of feeding wildlife. Witnesses say the child was attacked as a large group of children were playing nearby under adult supervision.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis yesterday visited Colorado Springs and Pueblo to highlight the recent investments in affordable housing and public safety in both cities. Polis toured the village at solid rock in southeast Colorado Springs, a 77-unit affordable housing complex. Polis said that "expanding housing opportunities Coloradans can afford is critical to lowering costs and helping families thrive". Polis then traveled to Pueblo, where he toured the real time crime center, a facility that helps to improve police response time by using real-time camera footage of crime scenes. Polis said "the real time crime center is an innovative facility that is helping to decrease crime rates across Southern Colorado, and keep our communities safer. The real time crime center in Pueblo received a $1 million grant from the department of local affairs over the summer.

Colorado U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet are calling a decision by Children's Hospital of Colorado to go out-of-network for patients on Tricare "unacceptable". Tricare is the healthcare plan used by active duty members of the military, their families and veterans. In a joint statement, the senators say in part that "service members' children deserve the best medical care available, and the possibility that Children's Hospital Colorado would be out-of-network for Tricare users on January first is unacceptable." The senators are calling for Tricare and Children's hospital to come to the table, ensure fair reimbursement rates, and fulfill their duty to military families to provide access to the health care they need. According to Hickenlooper and Bennet's offices, one in five patients at Children's Hospital Colorado pays with Tricare. Children's hospital estimates that changes made to Tricare will cost them $17 million in revenue this year.

The Colorado Department of Transportation yesterday broke ground on a diverging diamond interchange at the intersection of Interstate 25 and the U.S. 50b interchange in Pueblo. CDOT says the $114 million project will improve safety and allow for traffic to flow through the are more smoothly. During construction, crews will build five new bridge structures, construct retaining and noise walls, reconstruct the roadway and ramps, perform embankment work, integrate safety improvements and improve drainage and erosion control. The new interchange will be located just north of the current interchange. During construction, drivers should expect some single-lane closures. On and off ramps may also be closed at times. The project is expected to take about 30 months to complete with an estimated completion in the Summer of 2027.

Greg Lopez, who oversees Colorado's 4th Congressional District, has joined President- elect Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency caucus. Lopez penned a letter to Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on December 5th to bring their attention to "zombie programs" that could be eliminated. Lopez says that "when you have 1,200 programs that have been expired or no longer authorized by congress, where we’re spending over $516 billion a year, I think that's a perfect place to start cutting". In his letter, Lopez listed the national endowment for the arts and the department of health and human service's family planning services grants and contracts as examples of zombie programs. He also suggested a re-evaluation of both medicaid and medicare. Lopez says he also hopes to showcase what Colorado is doing on the national level during his time with the caucus.
