Here are the top stories in Boulder today:

  1. Ukraine invasion could drive Colorado gas prices up. Here's a look at how local gas prices could be impacted as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues. (Patch)
  2. BIFF is back! Boulder International Film Festival returns with Baldwin, Bardem, biopics, blockbusters, bashes and more! (CO Daily)
  3. Boulder County cancels its mask order. The Boulder County Board of Health voted to pull back its indoor mask order for most places, the last in the Denver Metro area to remove the requirement. (Patch)
  4. Effort to save the Road of Remembrance pillars in the works. The Daughters of the American Revolution are launching an effort to repair the monument that commemorates the sacrifices of Colorado's World War I soldiers. The monument, dedicated in 1928, is located at US 287 and Arapahoe Road. (9News)
  5. Misleading Marshall fire ads on the rise. The Boulder District Attorney's office has gone after a Pueblo company that helps people file tort claims against companies, utilities or government entities for property lost to wildfires. The DA filed a cease and desist against the ads, because the ads could mislead consumers, as the cause of the fire has not been determined. (Out There)

  • Workforce Boulder County grants available for employers. The purpose of this program is to fund training that helps reduce the skills gap challenge faced by employers, and to build and maintain a trained workforce. (BOCO)
  • BMoCA at Macky Auditorium: Natasha Mistry's 'Imagineria' brings intricacy and wonder. (Yahoo)
  • City of Boulder looking at repealing rules that limit petitions. Currently, petitions can be submitted on paper or online, but only one set of signatures can be submitted for certification. The system the city uses is now capable of  using  both paper and online forms. The change will reduce barriers for community members to engage in the democratic process.(Boulder)
