Good morning, Castle Rock.

Nonprofit GoFarm provides training and support—such as mentorship and business planning—to local residents starting small backyard farms to improve access to fresh food.

The program helps overcome barriers like land access by offering comprehensive resources.

Gov. Jared Polis vetoed Senate Bill 77 on Thursday because it would have allowed government agencies to take extra time to reply to public records requests for non-media users—Legislators plan a rare move to override his decision.

Lawmakers at the Capitol are debating two bipartisan bills to fix a federal program that gives hospitals discounts on prescription drugs for low-income patients—this program started in 1992 to help cover costs.

One bill would require hospitals to report profits from discounted drugs while the other would ban drug-maker restrictions, though some hospitals worry the changes may cut essential services.
