## Resource

Moisture is good for a drought, but some parts of Colorado are getting too much rain, far too fast, causing mudslides and flash floods. Then, new survey results give a window into how Coloradans feel about the state and nation’s big birthdays. Plus, Denver is moving to let bars and clubs stay open later, but a recent shooting has delayed those plans. Email us at coloradotoday@cpr.org . Colorado Today is supported by CPR’s members .
