The class-action lawsuit was filed in 2016.Florissant was among several St. Louis County cities whose policing and court practices were scrutinized after the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson.

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team formally appealed on Wednesday the Colorado decision that would bar him from the state’s ballot this year.While the appeal was widely expected following the December decision by the Colorado Supreme Court — the justices included a provision to pause their ruling if it were appealed — Trump’s filing puts all the players in the case on the same side: The U.S. Supreme Court needs to weigh in.The appeal follows the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision in December that Trump engaged in insurrection for his actions around the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol and, thus, is disqualified from holding the office of president under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.Related ArticlesPolitics | Opinion: The year of the Colorado judges also saw politicians falter and flail Politics | Lauren Boebert’s switch-up throws massive political wrench into Colorado’s two lar...Broncos Roundtable: How much can final game aid the Jarrett Stidham 2024 Starter campaign?

Parker Gabriel, Broncos beat reporter: Happy New Year, gents. Hey Ryan, best behavior at the Roundtable today. The boss is here in Sean Keeler’s place. Somehow, it’s 2024 and the Broncos are playing their final game of the season Sunday in Las Vegas. Jarrett Stidham’s making his second start after throwing for 224 yards and a touchdown in a mostly steady, unspectacular-but-turnover-free debut against the hapless Los Angeles Chargers. So, what’s a guy gotta do to win the 2024 starting job around here? Can he win it with a big outing against the Raiders? Make himself the leader in the clubhouse? Blow it all with a bad afternoon at the craps table… I mean, Allegiant Stadium? To me, the best thing he can do is not ask for a raise. That’s only a half-joke. Stidham’s salary cap number for 2024 is $7 million at the moment. The Broncos won’t likely be able to go much above that in searching for a replacement, which is good news for Stidham.
