DENVER (KDVR) – A Colorado Geographic Naming Advisory Board was created on Thursday when an executive order was signed by Gov. Jared Polis.

“The Board’s mission shall be to evaluate proposals and applications concerning name changes, new names,and name controversies of geographic features and certain public places in the Stateand make recommendations in a timely manner to the Governor,” the order states.

“This new board will play a critical role in the ongoing celebration of our Colorado history through place names and ensure that we have inclusivity and transparency around the naming process,” said Polis.

The Board will make official recommendations to the Governor and the United States Board on Geographic Names (USBGN), which has final approval authority for place naming for federal maps and products.

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. –

Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed the Colorado House Bill 20-1326, “Create Occupational Credential Portability Program Act,” into law at the Colorado State Capitol Building in Denver June 25, 2020.

This legislation allows military spouses with an active occupational license in good standing,who are relocating to Colorado as part of an active duty military assignment, to receive temporary occupational licenses that last three years, at no cost to the military spouses.

“Every time you PCS [permanent change of station], there are so many different things you’re worried about, such as where you’re going to live or where your children will go to school,” said Andrea Hernandez, Airman and Family Readiness Center flight chief. “If you have a career and you’re trying to get back into the work force, having the extra time to get your license makes it much less stressful and removes one more thing from your to-do list.”

Prior to this bill, spouses only had a one-year licensure exemption, so the new legislation allows military spouses more time to find a job in their career field.

Whitmer swings from barber poll to dumb bell

Defiant gym owners staying open, refuse to obey Whitmer's order. Some Michigan gym owners are openly defying Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's executive order to close during the coronavirus pandemic, even after police issued a few criminal citations. "We're open because I think it's unconstitutional,"said Don Larson, owner of a Gold's Gym on Hoover Road in Warren, where about a dozen young men were lifting weights early Monday afternoon. “My members need a place to be to stay strong and healthy, and it keeps their immune systems high.”

State officials say that by ignoring the governor and staying open, these gyms and their employees are flirting with criminal misdemeanor citations and potentially risking the spread of a second wave of COVID-19 across Michigan.

Some customers who visited the gyms seem happy to return to their pre-pandemic fitness routines, and said they weren't worried about catching the virus while working out.

“It’s your own choice; you don’t have to come here," said Mary Steinc, who, along with her husband, Bobby Steinc, on Monday visited a reopened Crunch Fitness gym in Warren.

There is no readily available estimate of the number of gyms that are defying Whitmer's closure order. Many metro Detroit gyms appear to be obeying the order, which took effect March 16.

Whitmer lifted the order June 10 for gyms in northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, which had seen fewer coronavirus cases.

More: Michigan gym owners furious over 11th-hour cancellation of planned reopening

Lower Michigan gyms were hours away from legally reopening last Thursday after a judge ordered an end to Whitmer's closure after a group of independent gym owners and trainers sued. But an 11th-hour ruling the day before by a three-judge panel of the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals delayed implementation of the lower court's decision while it pondered the case.

The appeals court has yet to issue its decision on Whitmer's appeal of the lower court's order, which said the state hadn't shown sufficient evidence to back its assertion that a gym would be a "petri dish" for COVID-19 infection.

Some have pointed to a recently published study involving gyms in Norway thatfound zero confirmed COVID-19 transmissions linked to gym useduring the pandemic.

Whitmer doesn’t want to be left out of name changes for Democrats

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has brought the battle over renaming controversial statues and landmarks straight to Michigan’s founding father,

Lewis Cass.

In announcing she would rename Lansing’s state-owned Lewis Cass Building the “Elliott-Larsen Building,” Whitmer cited Cass’ ownership of a slave, his support for the expansion of slavery, and his implementation of a policy to forcibly remove Native communities from their tribal lands. Instead, the building will now honor state representatives Melvin Larsen and Daisy Elliott, who sponsored Michigan’s landmark 1977 civil rights act.

It was the right call. Few Michiganders today are aware of the complex legacy of the man who served as governor of the Michigan Territory from 1813 to 1831, before becoming Secretary of War under Andrew Jackson, a U.S. senator, and an unsuccessful Democratic presidential candidate.
