Weiser plans to meet with local leaders, law enforcement officers and elected officials, to hear their concerns and share his vision for how the attorney general can ensure Colorado’s programs and laws take into account the needs of all resident.

In August, stops include Craig, Cortez, Durango, Fort Morgan, Grand Lake, Grand Junction, Greeley, Gunnison, Idaho Springs, Montrose, Pagosa Springs, Ridgway, Rifle, the San Luis Valley, Steamboat Springs and Sterling.
