📰 News we're reading
• 05/27/26 MCSO Blotter (montrosecountysheriffsoffice.com) — Local deputies and animal control handled a busy day of calls across Montrose County on May 27–28, from fraud reports and welfare checks to stray animals and traffic incidents. Several people were arrested on warrants or new charges, and Montrose PD frequently coordinated with the sheriff’s office on calls inside city limits. 
• What Happened with that Montrose Diesel Tank and RV Waste? (k99.com) — A messy RV mishap at Montrose’s Maverick station reportedly contaminated a diesel tank with waste over Memorial Day, likely costing the station significant fuel sales. The story highlights how busy Montrose is as a highway hub for travelers heading toward Telluride, Grand Junction, and the Front Range, and uses the incident to reflect on Colorado road-trip culture.
• Montrose council rejects Pride proclamation (gjsentinel.com) — Montrose City Council narrowly declined to issue a Pride Month proclamation this year, breaking with the past two years of recognizing June in support of LGBTQ residents. The decision, driven by concerns about “preferential status,” drew pushback from other council members and residents who argued proclamations are symbolic affirmations that all Montrose neighbors deserve respect and inclusion.
