Here are the top stories today in Boulder:

  1. Air quality plan hits snag. A plan to reduce regional ozone pollution would require cleaner-burning fuel, but advocates say the plan doesn't go far enough. (CBS4)
  2. Boulder Valley School District bond issue ballot measure moving forward for a November vote. The Boulder Valley School Board will vote on Aug. 9 on ballot language and a more detailed list of projects that will be included in the $350 million capital construction bond issue that is planned for this November's ballot. (Hometown Weekly)
  3. The FBI is still searching for Boulder murder suspect after 39 years. The killer of Sid Wells, who would have been a 22-year-old senior year at CU Boulder in 1983 and the boyfriend of Robert Redford's daughter, has never been found. (9News)
  4. Town of Vail blocks all permits for housing project. The move by the town sets the stage for a protracted legal battle. Vail Resorts had planned to develop a project to house workers on the property by the 2023-24 season, but the town pushed back because the land is part of a local group of animals. (CO SUN)
  5. Regional food banks see increased demand, and fewer donations. Area food banks are seeing a record number of families seeking assistance, and most of the food center's shelves are bare, with donations dropping to a trickle. (FOX31)
