Good morning, Fort Collins.

Six people — including a high school student — were found dead Wednesday evening at a dairy farm in Northern Colorado.

Data released Thursday from the U.S. Drought Monitor showed that drought conditions worsened across Colorado—persistent heat and low rainfall were the main factors affecting the state.

The Fort Collins City Council unanimously referred a 10-year extension of a quarter-cent sales tax to the Nov.

4 ballot that would generate about $11 million a year and fund 18 projects—ranging from outdoor pickleball courts and a community bike park to affordable housing and street safety improvements. Nonprofits have asked for more funding for affordable housing even though the measure currently promises $10 million for the project.

State lawmakers are racing to repeal and replace Colorado's sweeping artificial intelligence law—originally passed last year—as they plan to have new legislation ready before February.
