## Resource

Every Friday, when the official work is done, Aurora mayor Mike Coffman heads to the city’s 600-bed homeless shelter, where he volunteers and sleeps in order to keep a closer eye on one of his administration’s signature efforts. Then, after complaints forced out the San Luis Valley’s last district attorney, his replacement on the job is someone no one saw coming. And, from location to length, this weekend’s Denver Pride festival is a break from the past. Email us at coloradotoday@cpr.org . Colorado Today is supported by CPR’s members .
