GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ The Pueblo Police Department said Pueblo was wrongly listed among the top 10 most dangerous cities, as FBI data and local comp stat records show overall crime and violent incidents like homicide have dropped compared to 2024. Mayor Heather Graham said the report is inaccurate because the numbers prove public opinion does not match true crime statistics — clearly showing that Pueblo is safer than the ranking suggests.

- ➤ On Tuesday, the County Clerk’s Office confirmed it received a notice to start a recall petition to remove Coroner Brian Cotter after 24 bodies, bones, and probable human tissue were found at Davis Mortuary—David Jiron, Paulette Anaya, and Annette Garcia head the recall committee.
