SGA election The only competitive race in the upcoming Student Government Assembly election is that for MSU Denver Student Body President. The two candidates are Danielle Holmes and Jermaine Dobson. There are also, however, referendums that have been put to the students. The first is the continuation of the fee given to all students to grant an RTD bus pass to them. If passed, the pass would be given for another year, and will cost no more than an additional $125 per student. Additionally, a fee of $8 per credit hour to improve the technology services for students has been proposed. Votes on the candidates, as well as these referendums can be performed online at https:// msudenver.edu/sga/ until Friday.
Tiny House Fire On April 8, Boulder County authorities responded to a wildfire, dubbed the Tiny House Fire, that erupted near Conifer Hill, north of Highway 7 and west of Lyons. The blaze was fueled by strong winds blowing to the west, and it burned over steep, rocky terrain above Boulder. Smoke from the 15-acre fire could be seen from as far away as Westminster. 136 evacuation notices were issued, but were lifted as of 4:36 on Tuesday afternoon. By that time, the fire was nearly 100% contained. No injuries or loss of structures have been reported, and the initial cause is currently under investigation.

Death of a student Rev. Tammy Garrett-Williams, a prominent Denver civil rights activist, was found dead in her home on April 2. Garrett-Williams was also an enrolled student at MSU Denver and was majoring in Africana studies and minoring in political science. She was the recipient of the MLK Peace Breakfast award this past January and founded the Above Waters Project, a group that works with inmates and former inmates to help them reintegrate into society after incarceration, according to The Denver Post. Garrett-Williams was born less than two months after Martin Luther King Jr.’s death, and she and her family “saw that as a sign of who she was going to be,” said Rosemary Lytle, president of the NAACP’s Colorado, Montana and Wyoming conference. Her cause of death is currently under investigation.
Reports, Brooks received seven direct donations for limited liability companies — known as LLCs — in February of 2019 for $1,000 each, as well as an equal amount donation from Mowa Haile, president of the construction company Sky Blue Builders. According to CFR, Brooks received $27,061 in February donations while CdeBaca received $13,430. Woodley’s eight February donations amounted to $475.23, with seven of them filed under his name. “The biggest roadblock is money,” Woodley said. “It is sad that it takes money to really build up your campaign. I’m still here with the rest of my candidates, I still made the ballot. There’s other ways to overcome roadblocks and hurdles.” Voting booths are set to open

The chances of being exposed to one of these breaches increases with the number of accounts each user has set up. “This is compounded by data hoarding — firms having too much information that they don’t really need, and storing it longer than is necessary,” Hart said.
