Available homes in the Denver metro surged 48% year-over-year in May, producing the highest inventory levels since 2011. According to monthly data compiled by the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, the 13,599 active listings in May are up 14% from April and 48% from the 9,159 available a year ago.

The Denver school board approved a four-year hiatus on school closures Thursday even as a recent report predicting Colorado’s largest district will need to shutter more buildings by 2030 because of declining enrollment.  Board of Education members previously tried to implement a three-year pause on school closures, but the measure failed in May. The school board was split 4-2 in Thursday’s vote to approve the hiatus, which comes as Denver Public Schools expects K-12 enrollment to drop further in the coming years. Director Kimberlee Sia was not present for the vote. “I know we’re going to need to close schools…

By EDDIE PELLS OAKMONT, Pa. — Gary Woodland, the 2019 U.S. Open champion, waved the rules official over.

The rough at Oakmont is just deep — and thick and hard to escape. Instead of taking a free drop for an embedded ball, Woodland had to replace it where he found it, get out his wedge, take a hack and pray. That resulted in…

RODRIGUEZ and JOHN SEEWER, Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pledged Thursday to carry on with the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown despite waves of unrest across the U.S. Hours later a judge directed the president to return control to California over National Guard troops he deployed after protests erupted over the immigration crackdown, but an appeals court quickly put the brakes on that and temporarily blocked the order that was to go into effect on Friday. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals scheduled a hearing on the matter for Tuesday. The…
