Denver Post readers sound off on proposed charter school legislation, President Joe Biden’s cognitive status and El Chapultepec.

Boy, that hurts. The last staple of my childhood, the Esquire Theatre, is closing. Every Saturday morning for the first half of the 1950s my brothers and I would each be given a quarter and sent off to our babysitter, the kid’s matinee at the Esquire.

If cognitive status is going to be a topic in the presidential campaign, I suggest that both candidates be evaluated by a trained professional, not an observer with no clinical background.

Maybe this is why Hancock claims that accountability and transparency requirements are mean-spirited. As a taxpayer and voter, I want to know what the charter schools are hiding.As a community-based hematologist-oncologist, my top priority is ensuring that my patients receive timely, safe, and effective treatment.

Thankfully, Reps. Iman Jodeh and Matt Soper, along with Sen. Dafna Michaelson Jenet, have introduced House Bill 1010 this year to restrict the use of white bagging mandates and ensure that our state’s patients can get the care they need.
