the extra benefits early, arguing that the economy is recovering at a
promising pace, vaccines are widely available, and many businesses are in
need of workers.

*Summary:*          A quarter of Colorado residents are Latino, and the
state is rapidly becoming more diverse. The ouster of the three reporters —
revealed when one of them, Lori Lizarraga, wrote about it in *Westword*, a
