Here are the top stories in Boulder today:

1. Colorado's vote to legalize marijuana turns 10, here's the story of how it went down. In 2012, Colorado voters legalized the use and sale of marijuana in Colorado. The vote sparked a revolution around the U.S. as more than 19 states have legalized it since then. (CO Sun)
2. Risk factors increase for wildfires as the region moves into a possible dry and windy winter. Fire experts preparing for the worst this winter by using last December's Marshall Fire as a benchmark. (FOX31)
3. Employees at Cerebral Brewing getting paid time off to vote. The Denver brewery is giving its employees up to two hours off this year to do research on issues and candidates and submit their ballot. Brewery owner Sean Buchan said the company began the practice two years ago during the 2020 presidential election as a perk to its employees. (9News)
4. To expand the use of electric cars, states will have to step up to the plate. With historic federal legislation that has laid the groundwork for the transformation of the U.S. transportation sector, states will have to provide the network to provide charging options for all of these vehicles that will eventually be hitting the road. (CO Newsline)
5. The Flatirons Food Film Festival is taking a bow. The all-volunteer nonprofit film and food festival is calling it a day and putting the 8 year-old festival out to pasture. Organizers decided it was time to move on to other projects. (Travel Boulder)
