DENVER — A warning about information arriving in your mailbox that promises millions of dollars. It’s really just a ploy to steal your personal information according to officials.

The big tan-looking envelopes have been showing up in mailboxes across Colorado.

It looks authentic with lots of markings for a professional financial institution. It’s also wants you to act quick… saying you have just a few days to fill out the information and sent it back in the mail or lose your chance at millions of dollars.

Victor Bernal had a great question when he received one of the envelopes in the mail this week. “Am I really going to receive $2 million?”

The sweepstakes entry told him he had two days to return it. “It looked absolutely real; it had time sensitive dates on it.”

All he needed to do was send $20 and some banking information and then they would deposit more than $2 million in his account.

DENVER — State lawmakers went back to work Wednesday morning on a historic morning at the Capitol.

Rep. Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, became Colorado’s first openly gay Speaker of the House and was officially handed the gavel by Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch.

It was a moment ripe with symbolism, coming seven months after McNulty killed Ferrandino’s civil unions legislation on the session’s penultimate day.

With Ferrandino’s elevation and the new 37-member Democratic House majority, Democrats no control both legislative chambers on the Capitol’s second floor, with Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper presiding one floor below.

The session could be a challenge for Hickenlooper if Democrats send a stream of increasingly partisan legislation to the moderate governor’s desk.

PARKER, Colo. — While Coloradans voted to legalize marijuana in November, voters in Douglas County have voted against marijuana legalization measures four times in a row.

The last vote was enough for the county’s three commissioners to decide to ban any sale, processing or growing of marijuana, in the south-suburban county.

“We heard what voters are telling us,” said Commissioner Jack Hilbert. “We are a highly educated, affluent, and kid-friendly county which has no need for tax benefits that can be realized from the sale of pot.”

A quick on-the-street survey outside the 20-mile AMC seemed to indicate people were split on the issue… some saying it’s the law which people voted for.
