  • Congress is wasting no time making good on GOP promises to repeal President Obama's signature healthcare legislation, the Affordable Care Act. In Colorado, health-care advocates are urging Republican Senator Cory Gardner to reconsider being part of the repealing effort.  Eric Galatas has more.
  • Bowie Resource Partners has withdrawn its application with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety to build a coal gasification plant at its Bowie No. 2 coal mine near Paonia. According to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, the coal gasification plant would have been the first of its kind in Colorado and would have converted up to 72 tons of coal waste daily into electricity and diesel fuel. Bowie idled coal mining at the site early last year due to the poor market for coal.
