On Thursday evening, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser visited Cortez as part of a listening session tour concerning the proposed Albertsons-Kroger merger. In the meeting, Weiser fielded questions on how this merger would impact southwest Coloradans. And Governor Jared Polis signed a bill into law Friday that creates a nontoxic bullet replacement program for hunters. The pilot program will provide vouchers for purchasing non-lead bullets. It will also focus on educating hunters.
