Here are the top stories today in Lakewood:

  1. Jefferson County's warrant clearing workshops are life changing for some. These "fresh start" clinics have been overwhelming successes in the counties they've been hosted in across the state. Prosecutors work together with those that have outstanding warrants. The programs have seen thousands of low-level warrants extinguished, lives changed, and new doors opened. (CPR)
  2. Auditor report indicates that Denver International Airport could be making even more money than it already does. After reviewing several concessionaire contracts, Denver Auditor Tim O'Brien says that lack of oversight is one of DIA's biggest issues. One contract his team reviewed had the vendor self-reporting income and calculating their own rent payments – an agreement which hadn't been reviewed in nearly a decade. (Denverite)
  3. Don't be a grinch this holiday season. As the hustle and bustle of the holidays rears its ugly head, here are some great tips on how not to let this holiday season get the best of you. (FOX31)
  4. The price of eggs keeps going up in Colorado. There's not an egg shortage yet, but the avian flu has managed to kill off nearly 85 percent of the egg laying chickens in Colorado. (CO Sun)
  5. December's "Right Here, Right Now" Global Climate Summit is a partnership between business, academic, government groups. Co-hosted by the United Nations and CU Boulder, the three-day summit will go deep on the interconnectedness of human rights and climate change. The summit will bring together governments, businesses, educators and individuals and provide adoptable solutions that can be acted upon. (CU Boulder)
