📰 News we're reading
• Man fired 60 shots into bar after being kicked out, injuring multiple people (local12.com) — A Greeley man has been sentenced to 96 years in prison after firing nearly 60 shots into Wyler’s Pub and Brew in 2024, injuring a bartender and endangering others. Prosecutors say he was kicked out for fighting, returned with a gun, and was later convicted on multiple attempted murder and weapons charges. Victims described lasting physical and emotional trauma. 
• DOJ opens criminal probe into big beef companies (farmprogress.com) — Greeley gets a brief but notable mention as Pilgrim’s Pride, headquartered here, is recalled for its past price-fixing guilty plea while federal prosecutors launch new criminal and civil probes into major beef and egg companies. The investigations focus on whether meatpackers and egg producers illegally coordinated prices amid record food costs, with potential fines, lawsuits, and industry shake-ups that could ripple through Colorado’s agriculture economy.
• Northern Colorado Lawmaker Co-Sponsors Mobile Home Protections Bill (northfortynews.com) — Mobile home residents in Greeley could see stronger protections if a new statewide bill co-sponsored by a Northern Colorado lawmaker becomes law, expanding rights when parks are sold and tightening eviction rules. The measure aims to keep mobile home communities affordable and stable across Northern Colorado, including Greeley, by improving transparency, limiting unfair fees, and giving residents a better chance to buy the land under their homes.
