(The Center Square) - Experts say the Colorado economy could take a hit as the state’s population growth continues on a decade-long decline. Colorado has been on the trend toward slower population growth as fewer people look to move to the state. This past year was the state’s lowest year for net migration over the past decade, outside of the pandemic in 2021. “Our economy relies on a growing population in order to sustain the kind of boom that happened over the last 10 or 15 years,” DJ Summers, spokesperson for the business policy group Common Sense Institute Colorado, told The Center Square. CSI recently released a report authored by experts Jimenez Sanchez and Cole Anderson. Colorado has well outpaced the national average for population growth in recent years. The U.S. yearly growth rate was 0.6% from 2010-2020, while Colorado soared at 1.4% according to the Pew Research Center. Over that same period, Colorado’s economy has expanded by 54% (5.4% per year), according to gross domestic product data from Macrotrends. While the state’s wider economy has continued to quickly grow through 2025, CSI argued residents were already feeling the pain of the slowed population growth. “Colorado, according to our rankings, is the ninth-least affordable state in the nation. We've got to spend almost $20,000 more per household relative to 2019 for exactly the same services and products,” said Summers. The same CSI study found the average U.S. household spent $15,400 more in 2025 than 2019 for basic needs. “We know that's driven largely by a housing market that is one of the nation's least affordable," Summers told The Center Square. According to Visual Capitalist, Colorado ranked 38th among the 50 states and Washington, D.C., for housing affordability based on median income and for-sale listings. “We are at the bottom of the national charts for our competitiveness in the housing market,” said Summers. “We have been there for the better part of a decade, and that is a troubling trend.” Summers and the CSI also argued that overregulation by the state government has made a more difficult and costly environment for businesses in Colorado. “The average number of bills passed in the legislative session in this decade is about 56% higher than the average of the 2010s,” said Summers. “So we know that the regulatory environment is getting a lot more active, and businesses have trouble adjusting to that. They need more predictability, and they need a friendlier environment in order to flourish.” He linked the increased regulations in Colorado to the state’s high rate of lost businesses and jobs. A recent report by the CSI found the state ranked 48th for net business closings in 2024, relative to the state’s population. That amounted to nearly 4,000 more Colorado businesses closed than opened in 2024, and more than 13,000 jobs lost. The post-pandemic lower rates of migration to Colorado fell to their lowest point this past year as 13,568 more people moved into the state than out of it, the second-lowest of the past decade after 2021’s peak-pandemic state, according to CSI. “Now that we're seeing domestic migration slow down, that points to economic realities that need to be understood here in Colorado,” said Summers. “Namely, that the kind of population we relied on to drive our economic growth in the mid-2010s simply can't be taken for granted anymore.”

(The Center Square) – The Karen Bass for Mayor campaign is disputing claims from Republican challenger Spencer Pratt that she is guilty of illegal electioneering. Pratt made the accusation on X and pointed to a series of related videos that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, a Democrat running for reelection, posted on the same social media platform. One video shows the mayor speaking to a small group of supporters holding Bass campaign signs in Los Angeles High Memorial Park, and Pratt said Bass and her supporters are illegally near a ballot box. The ballot box is not seen in the video with campaign signs, but Bass is seen depositing her ballot in a box in the same park as supporters watch. The campaign signs are not visible in the ballot box video. The question is the distance between the ballot box and the campaign signs. “Karen Bass just violated election law here,” said Pratt on X. “She is so accustomed to breaking the law with no accountability, she even filmed herself doing it.” Pratt went on to say that those days are over. He added that his campaign filed a formal complaint with the California Secretary of State's Office for “illegally gaming the election” for mayor. “Electioneering within 100 feet of a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW,” said Pratt on X. “Soliciting votes at a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW. These clear violations show a reckless disregard for the rule of law and our democratic process.” In her post on X, Bass told people that “you can drop off your ballot at voting centers and drop boxes throughout the city” of Los Angeles. Near the bottom of the mayor’s post, social media readers posted comments that California law prohibits "electioneering" within 100 feet of a polling place or "an outdoor site, including a curbside voting area, at which a voter may cast or drop off a ballot." Election Code 319.5 was then cited as the source. The Pratt campaign said it does not think Bass cares. “She genuinely doesn’t care about protecting our democracy, nor does she care about the rule of law,” a Pratt campaign spokesperson told The Center Square on Wednesday, answering questions by email. “That’s why she ignores terrified mothers in LA who are being victimized by rampant criminality, and that’s why she’s now cheating in the election.” The spokesperson added that Bass is “terrified” of his campaign, and she’s getting more desperate. “We need to get this lawbreaker out of office,” the Pratt campaign spokesperson told The Center Square. Bass campaign spokesperson Alex Stack told The Center Square on Wednesday that the Pratt campaign's complaint is totally false. Stack noted there were two locations filmed for the Bass campaign's videos, one more than 200 feet away from the ballot box (with signs) and one next to the ballot box (without signs). “Spencer is just mad that his supporters are AI cartoons, and we have real Angelenos,” Stack told The Center Square, referring to Pratt's AI-generated video depicting Bass as the Joker and Pratt as Batman saving Los Angeles. “We follow the rules.” According to Stack, the rally with signs was in the middle of Los Angeles High Memorial Park. The ballot drop box is in the corner of the park but at a legal distance from the rally with campaign signs. Stack referred to still images that the campaign took from the videos, mentioned earlier in this story, and provided The Center Square with a map of the park. The Center Square on Wednesday reached out to the California Secretary of State's Office and asked about Pratt's complaint. "The Secretary of State’s office takes violations of the California Elections Code, including electioneering, very seriously and carefully reviews all complaints reported to our office," the office's press team told The Center Square, answering a question by email. "To report suspected election fraud or violations of the Elections Code, members of the public and election officials may submit a complaint using the Secretary of State’s official complaint form at www.sos.ca.gov/elections/publications-and-resources/voter-complaint." The nonpartisan primary for mayor of Los Angeles is scheduled for June 2. If a candidate gets 51% or more of the vote, that person is elected mayor. If no candidate gets at least 51% of the vote, the top two vote-getters will face each other in the Nov. 3 general election. Fourteen candidates are on a list from Office of the City Clerk of Los Angeles. Results from a recent Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics poll shows Bass leading the race with 30% support, followed by Pratt, a former reality TV star, at 22%, and Nithya Raman, a Los Angeles City Council member and Democrat, at 19%. Other candidates are in the single digits for the polling results. The Center Square reached out to Raman for comment but did not receive a response by press time.

A recent settlement with the Department of Justice in Texas has flung open the doors for the very first time for detransitioner medical care. Attorney General Ken Paxton announced earlier this month that after a lengthy investigation into the alleged misuse of Medicaid funds to perform transitions at Texas Children’s Hospital, they would open a first-of-its-kind detransitioner clinic. This news is a welcome reprieve from the national conversation surrounding detransitioners and pediatric gender care. For years, detransitioners like myself have been testifying, pleading, and speaking publicly about our medical needs while being treated as though we barely exist. We have been told that there is no infrastructure for us. Very few doctors agree to treat us, and very few clinics agree to accept us: because there are no clear medical diagnoses or billing codes for detransition, it’s hard to track us, research our needs, or even bill insurance. Many of us live with permanent complications from hormones and surgeries, yet there are almost no doctors trained to help us manage the fallout. Even fewer are willing to publicly acknowledge that this population exists at all. The mainstream media often minimizes the realities of detransitioners' struggles and grief. An NBC News piece on the Texas story says, “Surgeries for minors are rare and not recommended by the medical associations” and “Detransitioning, which involves no longer identifying as transgender or stopping medical transition, is rare.” But these carefully crafted statements obscure far more than they reveal. First, surgeries on minors were – and are – absolutely happening, especially with the rise of pediatric gender clinics over the past 15 years. Many of us are living proof of that – myself included. Thousands of children and teenagers across the country were prescribed cross-sex hormones or underwent irreversible surgeries while still in middle school or high school – and this is still happening in some states. Pretending these cases are too insignificant to matter is deeply dishonest to the people now forced to live with permanent medical consequences. Second, insofar as detransitioners are “rare,” it is largely because the medical system has made almost no effort to track us. There are no comprehensive registries or mandatory long-term follow-up studies. Many patients disappear from clinics entirely after complications or regret, and the system simply counts them as lost to follow-up rather than potentially harmed. You cannot seriously claim something almost never happens while simultaneously refusing to study it. And even if detransitioners represented a small percentage of patients, medicine has never shied away from a challenge even with seemingly niche issues. Rare disease research, for instance, has received upwards of a billion dollars in funding in recent years – and this is for conditions that definitionally affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. That is to say, even if detransitioners are a small percentage of the population, why would medicine stop at us? If even one child is unnecessarily sterilized, left with chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, infertility, or irreversible surgical damage because adults failed to exercise caution in the name of ideology, there needs to be structural change. A detransitioners clinic is, fundamentally, an acknowledgement that we exist and that the medical system failed us. Beyond that, it will be a commitment from the medical system not to continue failing us, to invest in repairing what it did to us. I’ve spent countless hours sitting in a doctor’s office and online appointments with practitioners working underground with detransitioners, realizing there are no clear answers for people like me. No treatment protocol. No specialist referral. I often find that, even after countless scans and tests, I am repeatedly referred back to the industry which harmed me. But I don't need my gender affirmed, I need real and ethical healthcare to deal with iatrogenic harm. That is why this clinic matters. I hope that the new clinic will prioritize rigorous research and honest informed consent. I hope that patients are fully educated about the risks, benefits, and uncertainties surrounding every possible treatment in ways many of us never were. Most of all, I hope detransitioners finally receive compassionate medical care instead of dismissal, hostility, or political defensiveness.
